More Linux Adventures: the flipside of the "Well That Didn't Work" phenomenon is "But You Can Probably Fix It" I had a problem where clicking links in programs would open the links in my browser, but it wouldn't automatically focus. As usual, 300 suggestions of how to fix. But I *did* fix it.

half of all tech news lately is some variation of "the computer company has discontinued their well known product, the computer"

Also, Linux adventures update: as someone who has installed it twice in the last month, I now feel qualified to talk as a consummate expert on the whole OS. I honestly think it's a bit quicker/easier to install than Win if you're not doing some weird distribution.

Got a Framework 12 Laptop. I like it! In my mind it could use a better screen (better red accuracy), better speakers (they're tinny AF mate) most urgently, but as a surface-like laptop for half the price which I shoved kubuntu on and have working out the box with only a few (easy) tweaks I'm into it

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.
1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.
2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

I don't really have synaesthesia but if you name any sound I can tell you exactly what it tastes like. I don't actually taste it but the association does regularly come to my mind completely unbidden.

I've noticed that the need for downtime, for me at least, doesn't change with a job you love, but there's a change in how it feels.
After a particularly busy day I still think 'I need to stop working now' but inside that feeling there's a pleasant aftertaste of '...but tomorrow I'll be fine.'

I love a zachlike. It's the only kind of game where I will finish a puzzle then immediately want to do it again but better. This mess...

Linux drawbacks I've been having so far: Discord seems poorly implemented and it's causing some issues with streaming. I'm yet to find a good workaround.
The Nvidia drivers are rarely updated and bare bones. They work *fine* but support should be better. This is Nvidia's fault but still annoying

✨and the like has become like nails on a chalkboard to me. I'm tired of it needling me, trying to find its way into every tiny facet of my existence and telling me how great it would be if I embraced it. I've been taking a few definite but imperfect steps to lower its footprint on my life.

It's funny to me that Reform supporters have to believe simultaneously that the party is some kind of anti-establishment alternative, and that loads of tories want in.

Adventures in Linux update: I ran it for 8 days without wanting to boot into Windows. When I did, it was because I was having streaming problems in Discord. Might be solvable, but I think there's something pretty broken out of the box about the Linux version of Discord when it comes to streaming.

They put The Traitors on several times per week because they know if we had to wait a whole week for every episode our entire society would collapse. Moreso, I mean.

The Traitors (mainly the UK version but the others are good even if the US one is ... well, I think they made bad decisions with it) is one of the best things on TV at the moment. It knows how ridiculous it is which helps but current series has the tension of a high suspense prestige drama series.
