I love xkcd and all, but I won’t stand for great lake erasure

Makes me wonder if it could be treated in some way to make it not-so-inhalable. Though maybe we have better synthetic alternatives by now.

We say poo butt… What an odd thing to have in common with a stranger on the internet lmao

The many tools around this are interesting. “Web clipping” I think is the generic phrase for it. I got kind of deep into it from of a desire to wrangle ADHD, and a bit of datahoarding and knowledge mapping. Omnivore is one I liked for text articles, and there’s super niche applications like Zotero.

Oh, I like this. Put the second rail right on top of the cars for the real express line.

Yeah, I saw that synopsis under the knowyourmeme result lol. There’s always that one friend/relative. Kind of funny there’s never really been a phrase for it before.

Still, I like the thought of it meaning everyone has that one food they really like and will steal a bite if anyone gets it.

I think I’ve always equated them with the horrendous water shoes I remember as a kid. That, and the look just never said comfort to me. But I’ve felt some fomo in recent years lol

Every now and then I get the feeling there might be something about them. Are they like supremely comfortable? Everyone I see wearing them nowadays seems chill and makes it look like they’re comfy.

Either that or the country has fully devolved into Walmart as Idiocracy foretold.

“Call me Daddy”

I was wondering if “fanatic” ironically could have come from the French language. Looking at the etymology I’m now wondering if “fanum tax” stems from Latin.

Is this the genesis of British “humour”? Thomas, a Becket, even got the name in the time of Shakespeare.

Waiting for somebody to eviscerate me over British history, cause all I know is Monty Python.

I don’t know if blocking all interaction is possible or not. It can be confusing with federation. As far as I understand, instance blocking pertains to posts and not users. You won’t see posts from the instance, but other mutually federated posts can still have comments from the instance’s users.

I’m less clear on how user blocking works, but I imagine you wouldn’t see comments the comments at all in that case. They can still see and interact with your comments/posts (I think), you just won’t see it yourself. You’d probably have to block each user individually since I don’t think Lemmy has that functionality.

Wait, for real? I really thought kagi had its own thing going on, and that was why people would pay for it. Not like a fully bespoke index, but I assumed it was more than that. I guess the “quality control” is what I had heard about.

Yeah, I’m more worried about the output of AI getting involved than anything regarding the input, at least as far as a public forums go.

There’s a larger cone man out of frame trying to coax the hatchlings across the street

Generally I agree. It feels kind of shoehorned in when desktop is your goal, like more of an afterthought or side effect of the overall focus.

The main thing I hang on to is the code-specified configuration. I never got into managing dotfiles with arch, but that could be a better solution for many people. Especially along with btrfs, numerous containerization options, and whatnot.

I went from Arch to NixOS, so I can offer a bit there.

You definitely won’t want to rely on it until you know a good amount and get comfortable. Things can be made to work, but knowing how to get it done is the main thing most of the time.

Regarding package availability, it’s just a matter of a few oddly esoteric incantations and version controlled code, usually. Binaries are another story but still possible, and python is a special case of that.

It has been an annoyance for me, but I’ve also learned a lot by getting things to work. If you use any niche python stuff you’re bound to run into something. A bunch is already packaged and works fine, though. Either way there’s a bit of extra nuance, which is more to learn.

You don’t have to start with NixOS and can feel it out using nix on any distro. It can be hard to tell if someone will vibe with it. All that said, it could be more than you’re looking to get into, but you can ease into it if you’re interested.

He can’t ult again for a while, so it’s safe for now.

Nichijou was the first thing I thought of. It’s just so carefree and cute, but unexpectedly wild. I love absurdist humor, too.

On top of that it’s the first time I really “got” anime, so it’s sentimental. I clicked with it hardcore, and was embarrassed about it for a while.

Just imagine anime night with the bros, watching sword art, and you’re the only one who just needs to fit in another episode of Nichijou lol

Being the change you want to see in the world. I like it.
