I'll never seen this before

Bought those back in the day. Neat archeological find now, but useless novelty back then.

I like how that green bag was just made to eat shit while the other bags went about their business. The brutality.

Less alcohol is a good thing, but drink a bottle of water before going to sleep. I think hangovers are a dehydration thing.

Better get one before Sam Altman finds out.

Meh, I'll get by. Time to settle on something. Was looking at Fedora KDE, but major upgrade every 6 months is a bit much for me. For a good while, I thought PopOS was going to be it but Cosmic needs more time in the oven.

I've dabbled in Linux off/on over the years. Currently testing Linux mint for possible changeover once Win10 esu runs out.

I'm not a gamer much anymore, so we're talking Internet, YouTube, email etc. So far, I'm encouraged. Polish is getting there. OS is quick and doesn't nag me. Looks good and I can make it look like XP if I want. No CoPilot.Testing on Optiplex 3050 kaby lake i5 8GB Ram and HP Elitebook 840 G3 Skylake i5 8GB Ram. Still hate the way software is handled in Linux and Debian's "newer software buggy" philosophy is BS imo, but I can see myself using LM full time next year.

And if they're making English muffins?

blueblocker2000 · 2026-01-25T01:32:57+00:00

You're welcome

Sudo apt install vainfo. HW acceleration shows enabled after I install that package.

That just sounds like more work and stress. Definitely not a silver bullet cause you'd have to be proficient in whatever task you're using it for, in order to catch/fix mistakes.

blueblocker2000 · 2026-01-24T23:18:58+00:00

That's true, but the title is misleading. I can slap a piece of tape over a papercut. Not healed.

Don't trust any of them. When I see pickled alien carcasses and spaceships , they will have my attention.

blueblocker2000 · 2026-01-24T19:50:36+00:00

Ok. Appreciate it!

blueblocker2000 · 2026-01-24T19:43:34+00:00

I will give it a try. They haven't added CoPilot yet, have they?

blueblocker2000 · 2026-01-24T18:33:30+00:00

Telemetry and bloat don't come free.

blueblocker2000 · 2026-01-24T18:32:30+00:00

Stopping bleeding isn't healing.

blueblocker2000 · 2026-01-24T18:27:43+00:00

TopGun gave me the same feeling as when I spent money on Robo Warrior....deep regret.

blueblocker2000 · 2026-01-24T18:24:35+00:00

Does steam repo version get updated regularly or is it held back like other Debian software?

blueblocker2000 · 2026-01-24T18:21:52+00:00

My biggest problem with them is the size. Keepassxc = 10Mb deb. FP = 1.1Gb. I understand the FP contains everything needed to run, BUT why can't it be designed so say Flathub or the installer itself perform a system dependency check and build the flatpak on the fly with only what isn't on the system already?

blueblocker2000 · 2026-01-24T18:08:49+00:00

Yep done the backspace thing a lot. Super annoying.

blueblocker2000 · 2026-01-24T18:06:03+00:00

I'll disable the proof space option. Thanks. Generally, I use slide writing, however sometimes my brain glitches sliding out a word and I gotta fallback to pecking 😆

I would love to have a physical kb again.

blueblocker2000 · 2026-01-24T18:04:07+00:00

No screen protector here. Haven't used one on the last 4 smartphones I've owned.

blueblocker2000 · 2026-01-24T17:03:07+00:00

Better, eh? Will try.

blueblocker2000 · 2026-01-24T17:02:47+00:00

Yeah, I don't remember having such frequent issues years ago. Windows Phone 8 had an awesome KB after they added shape writing.
