I'm very content. Stopped distro-hopping a few years ago and settled on EndeavourOS.

What is a vehicle like that even for?

I've been playing for years; I even used to rank in the top 100 DM players. It's an outstanding game that doesn't get near the attention / credit it deserves. The graphics still look good, it'll run on a potato, fast, satisfying gameplay... it's the best.

Back when I lived in the UK, I'd play instagib on german servers that were so full and the matches so intense that you couldn't take a step after spawning before exploding if you hadn't learned how to move quickly yet. It became an ambition to be able to get off of the spawn point, and I began to use those intense matches to wake me up after work every day.

Eventually, when logging on during the wee hours, I'd get to chatting with one or two other players on an empty server and they'd give me tips, or show me the secret rooms and easter eggs in some of the weirder community-made maps.

I don't play much lately, but I do run a server to give a little back for all the fun. Anyway, yea, Xonotic is great.

This. How an advanced use case is accomplished is not a point against a system's usability.

Since I started using a privacy respecting browser and moved to GNU/Linux, my whole life is captchas.

I wound up with one of those newfangled playstation controllers, and I'm surprised at how good it is. It paired nicely on Endeavour KDE, and there's a big touchpad in the center that works to control the mouse pointer out of the box. I'm quite happy with it!

TLDR: native speakers use idioms, abbreviations, and their broader vocabulary in conversation.

Learning these things is a part of learning a language, and this article also applies to native speakers of any language.

In all likelihood, it's rated for direct food contact on both sides, like the stickers on fresh fruit; you're meant to be able to safely eat them (although you may not want to).

I remember when anything from a chippy came wrapped in newspaper. I don't know why, but I really appreciated that as a kid.

EndeavourOS is moving to KDE Plasma for its live environment and offline installer from Xfce. You'll hear no complaints from me!

I once had a deduction from my deposit for a paintbrush and can of paint left on top of a kitchen cabinet; it had been left by their team when I moved in.

Why do people hate raisins? They're chewy little sugar bombs. What's not to like?

From 2020. Not much better, really.

Editing to add alt text here, as Lemmy still does not support alt text in image posts: A fake screenshot of the FreeBSD Foundation donation page showing Apple, Inc. under the $5-$24 donation category. The screenshot is next to a poorly drawn four-panel comic.

Panel One: Title: "Apple HQ." Two people sit at a large wooden table. Person one: "We used BSD code, now it's time to contribute back." Person two: "Hold on, it's BSD licensed, right? I have an idea.

Panel Two: Title: "FreeBSD donation pipeline" A zoomed in view of a map with a large green line connecting the USA to Europe.

Panel Three: Three people, surrounded in a cloud of filth, scramble beneath the end of a large green pipe, reaching towards it with their wiggly stick-figure arms. One person is leaping in from out of frame. The people have bags under their eyes, many missing teeth, and are wearing sack-like clothing crudely mended with patches of random fabrics.

Panel Four: The pale face of one of the three people beneath the end of the large green pipe, mouth open revealing their jagged yellow teeth as they attempt to catch a trickle of liquid seeping from the end of the pipe. The liquid is captioned: "$24."

Beyond innumerable rules at home (no sneaking out of windows, no making potions out of toiletries, no growing mold in the bathroom, no snakes in the house, etc.) once as a kid I had $5 of birthday money burning a hole in my pocket, so at lunch I asked for as many $0.25 cinnamon rolls as I could get with a $5 bill. Although the cafeteria workers tried to talk me out of it, I spent the rest of the day parading around with a huge sack of cinnamon rolls which I didn't share with my classmates, as I was determined to bring my catch home to impress / share with my family. The same day, an announcement was made over the intercom to the entire school announcing a new two-per-person limit for cinnamon rolls. Details may be off as this was years ago, but that's what I remember!

c/incense has been abandoned, and I'd like to make something of it / add a banner, etc.

I've been working on my boot time lately, but I realize I really don't have a good handle on what it should be. I am hoping some of you will share yours so we can all get a feel for it. I'm including some HW specs here also because I've heard it can be relevant:

64GB RAM, 2 x 2 TB NVME:

Startup finished in 9.922s (firmware) + 1.151s (loader) + 3.506s (kernel) + 4.006s (userspace) = 18.586s graphical.target reached after 4.003s in userspace.

Edited to add boot time detail
