An online IQ test just told me my IQ is 138, so I guess I'm a genius and have no choice but to become an """""an""cap""" who spends their time posting pro-fascist talking point online and ""trolling"" leftists with points that have been refuted a thousand times just to prove how smart I am.

As for Qubes, as much as I love the concept, it's just not right for me right now. I could see myself using it on, say, a work laptop, but for my primary machine, it just doesn't do what I want a primary OS to do.

Seriously, I opened up Pale Moon and was literally still logged in to everything. I reinstalled steam and it opened up as if nothing happened. I knew dot files did a lot but damn. I expected to have to do a lot of setting stuff back up.

A good reminder I should probably go wipe that external hard drive all that stuff was backed up to

So, as a quick update, it turns out Qubes wasn't all I expected or wanted it to be. For instance, while I could *in theory* do gaming, in practice it'd be very difficult. The Windows VM idea? Yeah, hope you like gaming sans audio. And there's a lot of inconveniences associated (e.g. interVM file copy/clipboard). So, I've gone back to Arch. On the bright side, going back was actually easier than expected. Turns out copying all the dot files backs restored everything as it was.

@kimdanes@octodon.social minecraft USED to be able to VAGUELY run on a crap computer if you installed optifine and turned everything all the way down and even then you'd be lucky to get 20 fps. that's how i ran it for years on an intel gma 945 and mid-late 2000s pentium (as well as a radeon x1200 and turion 64 x2). it could hardly be said to have run """well""", though, and i doubt it'd still run that well today.

On the bright side, once we finish getting that room clean and get my bed moved in there, I'll be able to sleep in a cold room again, so, you know, worth it.

I just spent the past couple of hours cleaning up a moldy AC unit. How have y'all's days been?

I've been hesitant to refer to myself as a kitsune or as kitsune-kin, partially because I wasn't sure I really was a kitsune and partially because of concerns about kitsune being a Japanese thing. But, the more I think about it, maybe I am a kitsune? I'm still not sure if this works, culturally speaking (do kitsune have to be Japanese and is there a different term for non-japanese—particularly white—kitsune?), but conceptually, I think I might be a kitsune, not just a foxgirl

IBS stands for
Is a
Bitch.
Seriously.

Hello from Qubes! I've gotten it installed, now I need to do a lot of setup. Ah, well.

New hobby: setting my keyboard to "flute 2" and playing along to accumula town
