First proper ski day of the season! Resting in the lounge rn, gonna head back out once my legs are less angry with me. As a beginner it’s tough relearning things I first learned last season, but it’s slowly coming back to me #skiing #mtsunapee #garmin

It's wild, because it's reasons like this that the Average Gamer will say "linux is bad because the game I like doesn't work on it" when it's literally just the developers sucking a ton of ass

I was worried my new TRON Legacy 4K Blu-ray was unreadable based on some good ol' manufacturing defects... but thankfully I was able to do a complete read and it worked fine! It would've been a giant pain in the ass to get a replacement with it being out-of-stock everywhere...

If all the people who work at airports told you, "don't fly that airline," I hope you would listen.

dear people saying to switch away from #keepassxc:
what should I switch to? what else supports p2p syncing (via Syncthing), passkeys, and uses a file format supported by software for just about every platform?
