Yeah, since it’s exclusively for gaming, I tried Drauger which is allegedly some gamer-based distro. Took an hour to get WiFi working then it hard locked at the login screen after running updates.

Reminded me of my first time trying Linux in 2004.

I’ve been running Ubuntu for a year on my laptop. Might feel brave enough to branch out into something else soon.

My strategy is to just keep some copyrighted Disney music on my phone and blare it if things get too dicey.

I enjoy the joke that most mad scientists are really just mad engineers.

Built my wife her first gaming PC. Installed Ubuntu. I’m shocked at how easily everything runs.

What’s also surprising is that Blue Sky Studios who created the franchise was shut down in 2021.

So pretty shitty that they shut them down just to continue the franchise without them.

Back in college, we used to do a "gallon challenge" every 4th of July for the people staying on campus over the summer. Some of them cheated by taking lactaid.

I think it's really interesting to compare old iPhone ads with current smartphone ads.

iPhone in 2008: You can check the weather, get directions, take photos.

Phone in 2024: If you point your phone at a sign, it'll google stuff about what it sees on the sign. Also, your iPhone will literally leave your hand and fly its way to the Verizon store to replace itself with an iPhone 16 because that's all we got.

I'm convinced this song and This is Halloween from Nightmare Before Christmas are the same song. So hum that instead.

Picked up Journey off Steam. Been meaning to check that out for a decade or so.
