An addendum to my previous thread:
Holy SHIT the track Buried in the Red sounds like something Queen would've made back in the 70s, it reminds me a lot of Stone Cold Crazy which is basically proto-speed metal. Fitting, since the Protomen also did an entire album of Queen covers, haha.

I wanna give my thoughts on The Protomen Act III, or at least what we have so far released on Bandcamp here: theprotomen.bandcamp.com/album/act-ii...
Should be spoiler-free, especially since we don't have the liner notes yet. Thread 🧵 below:

It's really hard, especially now that I'm (mostly) working 5 hour shifts again, to not feel like I still need to be productive after I get out of work. I have to actively tell myself not to throw myself at something Linux-related that I know will burn me out if I don't take the time to just *relax*.

This post is probably fueled by tiredness but I miss all my friends terribly and I wish there was more I could do to help all of you with your struggles.

I know I'm not working as many hours now, but if work could get me on a consistent sleep schedule for at least a week-by-week basis that would really do wonders for me.
My time management has been shit and it's mostly because I can't settle into a consistent rhythm.

Still thinking about this as I settle into Fedora as a daily driver for my main rig.
Probably going to have to reinstall to do all the backup and encryption stuff but as far as the whole issue of AI code goes, I'm obviously not thrilled about it seeing as it's one of the primary reasons for me to+

Then again I may end up switching off of Fedora in the future depending on how that whole "allowing AI code contributions" thing shakes out. I'm still on Fedora 42 and waiting to see how 43 fares.
I'm gonna laugh my ass off if the whole situation ends up making me switch to Arch.

I lack a proper creative outlet for all the feelings I have right now and I'm still not quite sure how to solve it.

Schumer said the Dems will "keep fighting". Keep fighting their own voters? Keep fighting off effectiveness? Keep fighting being held accountable for anything? As far as I can tell the Democratic leadership is good at one thing only now, which is sending fundraising messages to my phone.

This fandom has a reputation for being "suspiciously wealthy" but the truth is most furries just love and value art and people so much that they want to use their money for art and supporting artists so they can make a living doing what they love. It's a cycle of genuine passion I think.

People believe that when you're LGBTIQ+ you come out once, but the reality is that every time you meet a new person, you have to study them to decide if it's a safe space to say it or not

There's a whole generation that learned irony before sincerity and now they're trapped. Can't be earnest without a layer of self-deprecation. Can't be enthusiastic without signaling awareness of how cringe enthusiasm is.
The price of never being vulnerable is never connecting.

One thing about KDE that I didn't like at first but came around on was that by default, clicking and dragging an image from a web browser to a folder in Dolphin doesn't just save the file, but opens a context menu that then allows you to do so. Felt like an extra step that got in my way at first.

If there's one thing I can say about myself in a moment like this, it's that I'm incredibly strong for choosing to be here. It all hurts but I'm so fucking stubborn that I know it would take a lot for me to give up now. A lot more than they have to throw at me.
Another day, another "I did the things I had to, now I'm going to curl up and pretend the world doesn't exist until I have to go back to work tomorrow"
I'm not going anywhere. It's going to get better. It has to.

I fucking called it. People told me WotC wouldn't use AI for MtG art because "the art is a big reason people collect the cards".
My brother in Christ, do you think the executives and techbros talking in their ears actually care about what you want?
I don't even give a shit about MtG and I'm mad.

I'm very disappointed of this avatar set from an art point of view: we have screenshot from the anime, and now they recruit AI artist to work on illustration ... #mtg
I'm really curious and suspicious if it is or not AI

The biggest thing that my Fedora install on my main gaming rig is missing is a proper setup for backups. Mint comes with Timeshift but it seems the process is more involved with Fedora, or at least it seems like that to me as a newbie. Once I get that figured out I'll be a lot more comfortable.

Got bored earlier and took a few typing tests. My lowest score was around 41 wpm, and my highest was 64 wpm, but on average I'm doing around 50-55 wpm, which from what I understand is pretty good, above average, and about what I expected. I never considered my typing "fast" but I'm not bad at it.

Having a bit of executive dysfunction today but I did just work a shitton right after BLFC and the laundry is getting done, so I think I'm allowed today.
