Making me miss home down east! Not sure there will be much, if any, snow where I am now. At least none that will stick. Used to get enough to play in here, but not anymore. I’d honestly trade having to clear it all myself just to get one decent storm a year. Glad Maine didn’t have remote learning when I was growing up, we made out like thieves with all the snow days.

How do/did you “get into the industry”? Like do I just put a sign outside my house that says “I’ll take money in exchange for sex” and start getting customers?

Asking for a friend of course.

I love lemmy for people like you!! Feel like this type of generosity just doesn’t show up on other platforms. OP please see this^

I love their YouTube videos! Had no idea this was in the works though. Thanks for posting!

I use a YouTube front end that doesn’t have a “feed” or algorithm based suggestions page. It only has a subscriptions page and the related videos side bar. I can still definitely go down rabbit holes, but they are often more focused and related to something I’m interested in, rather than devolving to slop.

Any chance on getting more info about the hardware specifics? From the sounds and looks of it this is almost exactly the scale of what I’d like and running pretty much the same things I’m thinking interested in.

4get.ca lets you select your scraper among pretty much everything else listed here, and it can be themed with my preferred color scheme right out of the box, so it gets my vote.

Maine I think loops back around to y’all territory…

I’m at least 4 of these lol, no shot I could narrow it down from there.

Also as a programmer transfem I’m obligated to say, “it’s arch btw” might want to tweak the logo on that laptop lol.

Good meme XD

4get.ca has been great for me.

Cardboard crack. That’s what we always called it as kids. To be clear we all played, and joked about being “that” into it, but yeah…there’s whales for every game, and plenty of them don’t actually have the money to be that into it.

Hi! Recovering Reddit anarchist here! Although if I’m honest it probably wasn’t until after leaving reddit I really started to understand what anarchism meant, and more openly align with it.

Ah good to know. I’m using Hyprland on my main device, but never even considered installing anything other than the default on the Garuda box.

Not immutable, but I slapped Garuda on a 2016 gaming laptop to give it a second life and it’s been great for the most part. I got a bit fiddly with it and had to fight my way through some partial upgrade issues, but know I arch based distros better and it’s stable as can be. I honestly don’t update it that often since it just serves are my TV box, and I’m seriously considering swapping to a Nix install now that I’ve mostly stabilized my package list for the purposes of gaming and video encoding. Proton is one of the only things I think get regular updates on that device, but those are entirely handled by Steam, so immutable is very attractive to me for a gaming only system.

I’ll also add that my primary device has arch on it and I do most of my gaming (but also work) there. It’s great, and I can’t help but feel a lot of the distros that are “made for gaming” suffer from a lot of the issues that windows does. They are trying to be preconfigured to work with any and all hardware. This leads to bloated package lists, and just extra guffins to work around as you trouble shoot. I’d say my arch install took a bit longer to get gaming super stable, but I’ve also had to fix much fewer issues compared to the Garuda install.

All the people mentioning Bazzite are making me eye it to replace Garuda tho.

Ptoughneigh

Aaayyyy, this eats!!

I’d love to learn more about this. With hyprland I could see a passable “mobile” UI that feels like an extension of my main system, but I’ve not taken the dive into trying to get Linux working on a phone making calls and everything.

I’ve integrated a Boox e-ink tablet with my Linux system using syncthing. Note taking is a treat and can be done right onto PDFs or e-books.

Philly has been great to me. I’d say west or the gayborhood if you can afford it. I live a bit out of the city and def see some yard signs and bumper stickers that give the ick, but there’s good queer community, and I’m meeting more trans people almost every weekend.

I have that key set on a Plank and I’ve been wanting to split it in half! Looks great!
