Nice. Too bad Slashdot doesn’t show the date an account was created. I would like to what year I made mine, Around 30,000 so I know it’s pretty early, but would that be '98, '99,or '00?Don’t know. My Fark profile was created 2002.

What about my 5 digit Slashdot uid number? Does anyone remember Slashdot?

I get this is an endurance test, but this sounds miserable. Not being able to lie down for 3 months would be awful.

I first encountered kidz bop about 2010ish when my wife’s sister was playing it for her kids at a family gathering. I’m still scarred from the experience. That day I vowed if I ever had kids that travesty would never be allowed in my house. Since having a daughter I’ve endured Frozen, Taylor Swift, and Kpop demon hunters. But the evil that is Kidz Bop has never graced a speaker in our house!

That’s exactly how I like it. Terminal, white text on black background. Browser, etc in light mode.

I find that not doing something is relatively easy (like don’t eat meat or stop alcohol, both of which I succeeded in), but starting something or gaining a new “habit” is damn near impossible. Basically it’s the OP’s scenario. Get super excited and way into whatever thing (go to the gym, study, get up early) then 2 weeks later it falls apart.

thanks for the tip, I’ll check out krohnkite

Been a KDE user for many years. I recently started using Niri with DankMaterialShell, and it’s pretty awesome. I suspect at some point I’ll drift back to my beloved KDE. But I’m loving the new shiny thing at the moment.

I keep a win10 VM around that I fire up on the rare instance I need to do something in windows. I agree with forgetting about dual boot.

All my airport signs run Arch, BTW.

Right, the thing that caught my eye was running a full desktop OS for a sign board.

I love getting the questions (not necessarily from old people) like “how do I do X in Y app?”.

I watch them stare and click random things then give up.

I’ve never used Y app so google “how to do X in Y app”. Click first result “how to do X in Y app”

me: I googled it. here’s how to do X.

them: amazed at my tech skills

Kid Rock is country? I thought he was shitty rap rock. Or is any MAGA artist now deemed “country”?

It’s the English way

That sounds fun. Now I want one, too.

Why do you need a Geiger counter? It looks like a cool device, but why is it EDC?

The food culture of Mexico is amazing, and if you’re eating at the right places there is usually no option but to speak Spanish! I’ve had to request “más picante” before, though generally that is at restaurants used to serving gringos. At tianguis or taco guys on the street there’s usually no problem getting the spice.

One of my proudest moments as a white dude who likes spicy stuff was when a buddy and I were hanging out with some local guys while on a trip to Mexico. I was just chowing down on some super hot salsa and one of the Mexican guys gets real excited and starts calling me “the blond Mexican”. I’m sure my wife is tired of that story, but I will continue to tell it to her for the rest of my days.
