This is going up on the office door at work.

Needs to be Linux? Xps. Unix? MacBook of choice.

Wouldn’t change it for the world. Crazy guy finally coming around.

When you notice a cat in profound meditation

The reason, I tell you, is always the same

His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation

Of the thought,

of the thought,

of the thought of his name

I had used computers back since I was a kid in the 90s with my families 95 then 98 machine, and finally XP. But MY first computer and introduction to tinkering with software was an EEE pc 1005HAB. Atom processor, 2gb ram, and WiFi. I loved the thing. Best of all, I discovered it had compatibility (but not power) to run TF2 on it, which was so much better on PC than console. I spent hours finding ways to overclock it, mod the game to be as lightweight as possible, and eventually was able to play a game at a solid 30 fps so long as I played on the smallest map and used models that were only 50 polygons each. I installed Linux for the first time too, and so of course the next logical step was building my own pc. The rest is history I suppose…

As someone literally leaving Paris today after spending a week there, this post was not fun to read… I guess so far we don’t itch?

Back in my college days, I first used a T60 (not ultrabook) then moved to an x220 (nearing ultrabook). The X220 was perfect, removable battery, all day battery, good build quality, perfect for linux. I rocked mint with DWM for the 2nd half of my uni days.

I have noticed that, at least in Mastodon, the fediverse seems to be significantly more pro active transport. I’d gander this is because this really has expanded to the “masses” yet, but it is really nice to see our favorite orange youtuber and other like minded individuals actively posting frequently.

she is quite the floofy chonker.

I’ve been on Mastadon for a while, and have liked it for content that was less mainstream on Twitter. Gave a better way to get more frequent content from folks I wanted to follow over Reddit. Glad to see Lemmy finally gain momentum due to the Reddit drama.
