Well the CEO just had a massive panic attack yesterday and said there's no way we're going to finish this major project in time and the company is now ruined. The company is only one person. It's me.

I LOVE the idea of Lemmy and the decentralized web and people coming together to forge our own way. But there's a far too high ratio of elitism, smugness, arrogance and belittlement to people that just want to discuss the things we enjoy. It is just really unfortunate. I don't engage very much, or at all really so I understand part of that is on me, but every discussion I find I'd like to chime in on is already polluted by assholes. It's just disheartening.

Isn't it that he wanted model E but that's the one Ford wouldn't allow? Because there is a Tesla model X. He wanted to spell SEXY but instead he now has S3XY.

I've been trying to convert to linux since the mid-2000's. Ubuntu and derivatives, fedora, and SUSE. Gaming and my lack on knowledge always brought me back to Windows.

In 2018 I tried Manjaro and loved it. But I broke it without the knowledge to fix it multiple times. The Arch BTW memes were strong at the time so I took the plunge and studied the wiki, and documented my own installation process and really learned a lot in the process. Proton was released and suddenly gaming got WAY better. I didn't remove my windows install completely until 2022 but Arch has been my home on my main machine.

I have since put together a proxmox cluster and run many distros for various things but that's a whole other rabbit hole!

KDE has some built in tiling functions now. No where near what the tiling WM's are but you're able to define a layout and snap them into place.

I miss the early days of android. When the next phone, or next software release was game changing. Now all we have to get excited about is 200mAh spec bumps and the inclusion of new types of data that will be harvested from us.

If I sell all my megalixers I've never used I could probably keep Firefox funded for years.

This is really great! Tried it out and it's already earned the coveted "pin" on the taskbar. Thank you for your work on this.

Does anyone have a quick ELI5 for the AMD P-state or a link to some good info around it? Seems people are excited about and I've been out of the news cycle loop lately.

I always do this too. You think I'm going to finish my meal with 2 bites of chicken in a row?! No chance. Gotta be a clean finish with a bite of salad, bite of rice, bite of chicken.

I had Jerboa installed on my phone for the last month or so. The Reddit issues finally got my butt in gear. I've gotten into open source software and self hosting in the past year and while I manage Windows environments in my professional life I moved to Linux in my personal environment. Really helps separate work/home life and I've learned a ton of new stuff which I love. Happy to be a part of the fediverse!

My cat is named Princess Vivienne von kitty pants.

I put this in my taskbar which helped me stop running paru habitually.

I listen to the Sunscreen Song when I'm wrestling with things like this. The quote from it that applies here I think would be

"Don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance... So are everybody else's"

"The single Save Your Scissors was even catchy enough to give Dallas Green the opportunity for a breakthrough slot at the Much Music Video Awards, which is a sentence so old-fashioned it may as well have contained the words ‘malt shoppe’ ‘stickball’ or ‘home ownership’."

Amazing.

This is over the course of 9 years. I haven't played in a couple months now, (the aug 22 last played was just me entering my house so it doesn't get demolished) but the itch will come back. It always does.

I believe I read there was only one package maintainer for Gnome on Arch, which is why the release took longer. We have to remember it's often just regular people, or in that case, person, who maintains this stuff for free or very little. And just because upstream made a release doesn't mean it's a simple drop-in to our distro of choice.

I'll throw in my vote for Kavita. Works great. I read a lot on my phone so I just saved the app shortcut to my home screen from Firefox.

Late reply, but I've got 4 proxmox nodes. TrueNAS with an HBA passed through, the arr stack, jellyfin, Home assistant, Nextcloud, bookstack, Unifi network application, Kavita, a windows VM with a 3080ti passed through that the kids can connect to using moonlight to play games on various tvs/devices. Various Linux distros to play around and test configs before I make any serious changes to my main desktop. Most recently set up graylog to pull in logs from pfsense and Unifi.

I have an insatiable thirst to just learn!
