Scarly the Raven @scarly@computerfairi.es

i think i'm going to try my luck at one of the many avatar creators... anyone have any recommendations that they'd be amused to see someone try?

@shadow8t4 @Chel OOOOO!!!!! i hadn't even thought about that, hahaha

@shadow8t4 hehehe, i like you then - that's a good philosophy

for the same reason, i'm inclined towards windows. if i'm gonna go ease-of-use might as well go the whole way

i consider myself retired from the linux desktop scene, but i will always be supportive of it

@shadow8t4 i would be down for that, except that the stigma of using something that "makes arch linux easy" actually gets on my nerves

it would be better if it just set its tone based on its own merits. instead, i can see myself catching bad vibes from the Serious Arch Linux Users because i'm using arch with training wheels.

the deep irony here? none of the people that are self-declared hardcore arch people could have survived the linux scene back in 1992. lmfao. arch isn't hard. that was hard

@shadow8t4 that's kinda where i'm at right now to be honest. i feel like a version of arch with tested, version-locked releases would be my dream distribution

BUT - it doesn't exist.

someone should make this.

@shadow8t4 i not only used mint but also rolled my own ubuntu-like a Long Time Ago (tm). i literally used to try every single distribution and tinkered with them all way too much

i ended up disliking mint. i just felt like it had debian's cumbersomeness under the hood and none of the benefits that are usually offered in return (stability, predictability, well documented approaches).

after a long 10+ year journey as a hackintosh user, i think i am gonna walk away

the ports systems are a bit stale, the os as a whole is no longer even remotely stable (hasn't been for a while), and the move towards locking down the dev environment is annoying

so, out with the old, in with.... probably the old. i think i'll go back to windows. i thought about using arch, but i had fun with the whole do-it-yourself linux thing back in the early 90s and i don't have the spoons for that anymore

i feel like the educational system in the US is tainted by capitalism and is more or less just a factory for producing dehumanized worker bees for our capitalist hellscape

the revolution should not omit colleges and universities. really, i feel like they should be the first things that are looked at and completely redone.

how in the fuck does it make sense to run a School like a corporation??? yet, that's pretty much the way that things are done. for colleges/universities it's about that $$$

i feel like it's my job to mess up in life so i can tell others how not to do it

transactional friendships aren't actual friendships. if someone sees you as a resource to get ahead in a capitalist society, then it's time to drop in some healthy boundaries

@monorail i might have tbh, but it's been a while since ive played XD

@salixlucida im struggling to understand the argument in favor of highway expansion, hahaha

i am a hermit by nurture and a crow by nature

coming out as some variety of lgbt in certain areas is typically the equivalent of pushing a reset switch on your entire social network and starting over from scratch

@DragonessDella@octodon.social ikr, it actually manages to live up to expectations quite nicely, lol
