I tried it out because of the memes and stuck with it because there wasn’t a bunch of extra stuff I don’t need distracting me. I kinda forget I’m using arch btw

I the like the Han dynasty because it was run by a sole smuggler

My boy Faramir taught me to not hate the soldier on the ground

This is true but coal mining is just as bad and requires orders of magnitude (mineral fuels) more excavation than all of the other minerals combined. If we can stop mining coal by using renewables the total amount of mining will be a fraction of what it currently is. Plus many of the other minerals can be reused where coal just ends up as carbon in the atmosphere.

Anyone with testes knows they tap low hanging stuff too

Typical Christianity co-opting pagan iconography to erase culture and history

That serenity is why I enjoy running Arch with basically nothing on it. My OS doesn’t do shit and I love it

I didn’t know about this. Thank you for the knowledge fellow human!

All my friends (including myself) moved away and I started working full-time with no summer vacation. Also my work, that I pulled all nighters to get a degree for, is pointless or actively makes the world worse. What was I supposed to be happy about?

Except we won’t have the sentient or even good AI

A lot of the comments are talking about writing being the game changer but it took generations of selective breeding crops and livestock to make them viable for domestication. We haven’t found any evidence of domestication prior to about 12k years ago in archeology or genetics. There were many civilizations who built large cities and never needed a writing system.

I wanted to share the article with friends and copy a part of the text I wanted to draw attention to but the asshole site has selection disabled. Now I will not do that and timesnownews can go fuck themselves

I like to read AI as Al (i.e. Allen) and pretend he’s just some guy stealing ideas, lying, and generally fucking up at his job. Al is an asshole

It looks like abacus is of uncertain origin and likely doesn’t share the same root as acus. Finding unexpected histories of words is the fun part of etymology though. Like how donkey ass and butt ass have completely different origins

I got a media failed to load error at first and thought that was the joke

At least most of us don’t need to worry about time dilation caused by relatively yet. Have fun with that, space faring developers.

I’m on a similar journey and have started self-hosting as many services as I can. I’ve got Jellyfin (open source Plex alternative), a WebDAV server to replace google drive, a Valheim server, and a git server to host the code. I’m doing this with kubernetes on an old mini PC I picked up for 50 bucks on eBay. I plan to put more mini PCs in my friends’ and family’s homes to build a cloud for us with backups of everything stored in multiple locations. It’d be cool to pass it down to the next generation and have our family memories preserved in a medium we own completely.

This classic cum town bit comes to mind

I’m pretty sure I live in a city between you and Dearborn but I don’t want to say the names and dox us. I just thought it was fun to piece together with the few clues and my familiarity with the area

I wonder if you could ssh into it. My charging port broke on my last phone and was able to pull all my files off of it via ssh
