Fucking perfumes. I had to stop buying Irish Spring after using it since I was a kid because now they add so much goddamn scent to it, it makes my eyes burn in the shower.

Agrivoltaics, AKA "shade", but you can't write any articles about shade.

Jesus, my stomach can't even hack a piece of toast in the morning...

Oh, don't worry. If you hadn't given it to them, one or ten of your fucking rellies did anyway and had no clue of the implications either.

I can't imagine going back to having to manage my installations and software updates manually. I now have someone that downloads, tests and packages every new version with my operating system, and OS upgrades are likely to have been rolled out over a few channels until when it hits stable, it's probably known to work well (in non-cutting edge distros).

I wouldn't want to go back to having to keep track of when a package updates and download it from some site that may or may not be the authors, and then hope to hell Microsoft actually does something approaching quality control on their janky, security-through-obscurity OS before releasing an update that proceeds to brick my machine.

Just use Virtmanager or Boxes or something that doesn't use DKMS every time it updates.

Virtualbox is a bad habit that's best not to start.

Like, what distros? All the majors I've used in the last 5 years have pretty sane defaults. Except Arch, of course, because the packagers just put in what the devs send.

I love the curtains on the windows.

caused by the Plasma config file having old crusty System Tray widgets in it left over from prior Plasma customization

I've noticed this one for years but assumed someone had made a bug. I occasionally would go into that file and clean them out manually. Good to see that get fixed up.

I did send a DM to the OP on this thread via Lemmy, never got a reply. Maybe I'll see if I can get hold of someone on Matrix, I don't see any email addresses to try.
