Linux. Runit. SwayWM. Colemak-CAWS. Espresso. Cycling. The list goes on; stop using so many god-damn periods!
Honestly every Denzel Washington movie is perfect. Even the really bad ones. My personal favorite is The Equalizer. I haven't watched it thirty times, god damn, but likely five times by now.
But that one isn't little or shitty. It's a fucking classic!
Boot times. I am the kind of person who shuts my computer (may it be a laptop or desktop) down, whenever I'm not using it. With systemD, boot times are generally kind of annoying; runit, however, completely changes this. It really feels amazing to turn a Void Linux system on, and have it boot in seconds, with just one screen of logs. On top of that, if you're doing a arch-style install (like the Void Linux minimal install), runit is just much nicer and more ergonomic. The main point is really boot time though, which I think is improved due to adhering to the Unix philosophy and having much less bloat. Using a runit system reminds you of how bloated and slow (and kinda convoluted) systemD is.
I'm also the kinda guy who spends hours optimizing my neovim config (~80 plugins, including LSP) for 20 millisecond start-up times. In the end, I still use Tumbleweed though.
I've been using openSuSe Tumbleweed on one device or another for quite a while now. Recently I switched my last device, so I'm officially 100% Tumbleweed. NGL, feels pretty good. I would, however, switch under a few circumstances:
- openSuSe releases Tumbleweed clone with systemD alternative (like runit). I've tried Void repeatedly, but unfortunately never really fell in live with it.
- openSuSe releases NixOS style immutable distro (not the current aeon or kalpa) based on Tumbleweed.
Honestly, Tumbleweed is nearly perfect for me. It's just that I've tasted what life without systemD can be like, and I goddamn miss it... I'm totally hooked on openSuSe products though.
Lol, I had the same Nobara issue recently. Had to completely reinstall 😭... Installed openSuSe Tumbleweed instead, which I can highly recommend though.
"Masturbating Formula with Vitamin M"
See, the version without Vitamin M is less effective...
Holy shit, thank you! I had no idea overleaf was open source; you have cleared my conscience. Typst seems interesting, but I am a bit of a typesetting nerd and quite used to latex anyway. Transition now would be difficult. I'll check it out though, it might be nice for drafts and such. Thanks again!
I'm definitely going to share Typst with non-tex-addicts though, it does seem really cool.
Apostrophe for offline use, and, unfortunately not FOSS, overleaf (latex) for online use. I really need to find a FOSS replacement...
Links (FYI, clap is always easier than VST, so prefer it; you may have to enable it in settings or something though):
- https://tal-software.com/products/tal-noisemaker (great presets too)
- https://lsp-plug.in/ (also often included in repos)
- https://www.airwindows.com/ (download the consolidated plugin, and then order by "quality (Dave)" to get recommendations and such).
You can of course also use external stuff like Pure Data and Orca through MIDI, OSC, UDP, or even loopback.
There is a free VST (or clap, etc) synth called TAL Noise Maker (I think) that has Linux support. Good for getting started. Then there is the LSP plugging suite, which is designed for Linux. Lastly, airwindows is native to Linux as well, and is literally one of the best — and 100% free! — plugin suites ever. All of there can be moved (just copy paste) in ~/.vst, ~/.vst3, or ~/.clap.
Back then CS:GO used to run better on Linux! That was why I switched (apart from a borked windows system I put Linux on just for shits and giggles): to get more frames, lol. Now I couldn't live without Linux, even though I don't even play CS:GO anymore.
I've tried Ardour, but compared to Reaper, I unfortunately just can't use it. Pd is fantastic though!! It's what got me interested in music stuffs in college, man those are memories... making a drum kit in Pd was my first assignment, I remember suffering over the cymbal for hours and hours. Now I'm getting all nostalgic lol
I didn't even know people do this wtf... The only explanation I could fathom would be some kind of over use of the OED's fourth definition:
- (1797) – (A body of) non-fictional books and writings published on a particular subject.
The key is "on a particular subject." When referring to literature in general, it refers to literally any written work (including letters, advertising, etc.). I very much sympathize with your frustration...
A nice alternative for Linux on Wayland might be swww: https://github.com/LGFae/swww

PS: also me and a whole lot of other people; just pointing out of pointless your question/statement was.
+1, it is much worse than even proof-of-work crypto though. I think AI is the bigger enemy, since at least in crypto, there are ways of developing and using it that aren't as bad (or even at all) for the climate.
If you are from a western country there is a certain risk in going to North Korea.
Interesting question! The issue of white genocide in South Africa is particularly relevant here.....
Yep, this is exactly what I read... still a cool project though. Anything that at least tries to make neurodivergent people more accepted gets my approval.
I don't know about the comic font, but OpenDyslexic is a great typeface for dyslexics (as the name would suggest). It mostly has to do with the weight of the letters being towards the bottom as I understand it. I personally (dyslexic here) have gotten so used to Computer Modern Serif and JetBrainsMono that they're easier for me to read, but that comes from hours of monkeytype with JetBrainsMono and hours of reading books and PDFs with Computer Modern. I think OpenDyslexic, while cool, is probably only truly helpful for people not already used to a different typeface.
