But the entire industry is built around frequent updates and outmoding older models. I had a phone that was no older than 2 Y/O when my cell carrier did some kind of tower update that rendered it completely unusable.

I hate that we’re conditioned to treat these powerful computers like throwaway technology just because a marginally improved model is made available.

That garbage tablet gave me lasting resentment for ARM processors.

Nintype (AKA keyboard 69) is the only double-swipe keyboard I’ve ever used that works worth a damn. Android development was abandoned a while ago, so you’ve gotta find the APK yourself. Someone on the subreddit made a hackjob update called keyboard 71 which fixes some random bugs and introduces some new ones, that’s what I’m currently using. I wanna say I average around 85 wpm typing casually.

It’s also got the smartest autocorrect I’ve ever fucked with, learning dictionary, all that jazz. Damn shame it was abandoned. If it ever stops working on android I reckon I’ll just have to buy an iphone :/

If your hair is neither thick nor fine and you’re not having any problems with buildup or dryness, you’re totally fine to just keep doing what you’re doing. Also if you’ve got straight and/or short hair you can probably ignore the no-sulfates/silicones stuff.

Most hair care products are designed for a specific kind of hair, usually straight and pretty flat. I started using black hair care products and my hair went from wavy and frizzy to natural ringlets and only sorta frizzy! SheaMoisture is my personal favorite brand.

This is only really beneficial for certain types of hair, and definitely don’t do it with conditioners containing sulfates, parafinss, or silicones. This site has a comprehensive list of products that aren’t filled with garbage what’ll leave your hair drier than it started.

If you’re using CG approved products this isn’t necessarily true. Highly recommend for anyone with even a tiny bit of natural curl, you might actually have some beautiful ringlets in there if you care for em properly.

Indoctrination at a young age.

My artist friends were actually the ones to introduce me to bluesky! Some of those circles jumped ship pretty early.

“I’m not, and also I don’t want it to be socially acceptable” gives massive “it’s okay to be gay as long as you don’t do it in public” energy.

I also expect the japan one to be lackluster at this point, which sucks because it was the only setting I’ve actually been excited about for an AC game.

every month i send off $10k for “the benefit and continued development of rickyrigatoni” and you’re telling me you work for FREE?

who’s been cashing the checks, ricky?

I also struggled to get photoshop up and running on my linux machine, I was even going for cs6 too funnily enough. Purely out of exasperation I ended up trying photogimp, and I haven’t looked back since.

I think the look they’re going for is like, current gen photoshop essentials? I don’t really care, it’s close enough to cs6 that it doesn’t feel like I’ve had to relearn anything.

I started making whacky artistic progress after I started sketching shitty little project plans. Weird improvements too, like now I can imagne taking something apart and picture all the individual bits fitting together. Learning by doing rather than practicing just to practice is like night and day for me.

petition to just call it a birthday and let it be confusing

Would it be possible to clone the snipping tool from windows?

don’t remind me of better days

As worse and worse win11 features are unveiled it’s so funny to see these posts slowly filled with more “yeah i just switched to linux” comments.

ayyyy that’s been my go to! sometimes when the normal hosts don’t resolve it’ll start auto-playing russian dubs, it’s so silly.

Fucken William H. Macy is all like “вот что ты пропустил на прошлой неделе в сериале Shameless” and I just lose it.

too much libsodium

To me bloat is anything using resources when I didn’t ask it to. Someday I’ll have more than 16 gigs of ram to throw around, maybe then I won’t be such a memory miser. One of the biggest things that pushed me into linux was the myriad of live service-esque background processes windows was forcing on me.

If I was a little less dyslexic I’d have a CLI for everything, now THAT’S efficiency!
