Oh yeah that wasn’t very much even though it was so fucking good. I’ve been hearing rumors for years that they were going to bring that back and I think with BioShock success it should happen!

IntelliJ products my dude! If you go on there education side you can find the packages for free to compile yourself. There’s tons of guides online to do it.

Just got through my last chemo Friday! I haven’t been declared cancer free yet but August 20th should be the day!

What the fuck are they talking about? Bioshock is one of the most popular games ever played.

L Vue scan pro is a must if you’re into analog photography. The software that usually comes with scanners and printers generally doesn’t work on Linux and if it does it’s terrible.

I am aggressively pro isopod. Thanks for the content!

I strongly suspect long COVID is a neuropathy issue. I suffered from it in a horrible way in 2020 and didn’t really get better until 2022 after treating myself with high levels of vitamin B9 and medicines for neuropathy such as cymbalta, or even better, Lyrica.

I am now undergoing cancer treatment and I have fatigue and weakness for sure but NOTHING COMPARES TO LONG COVID.

Yes. I have literal cancer and long COVID was worse. I am taking cymbalta because of how traumatic the fatigue and brain fog long COVID was and maybe that’s just really helping.

Either way, I really hope you get better ASAP, please don’t give up!!!

Yes! Absolutely yes! But, those people do exist. They’re just a bit harder to find. This might help

Eventually you can build a massive bubble if you find the right places to be. That includes your job, your friends, your acquaintances, your grocery store and more. When I interact with full on normies it is so deeply jarring, because I do it so rarely.

But honestly you can still get lonely in that situation because you found your people and you still can’t connect. So I’d say it’s most important to be able to address loneliness in the self. Become someone you want to hang out with. Do interesting things and pay attention to non human things for a bit, like birds or interesting plants on walks, or volunteer with a community garden. Go full DIY, start biking, get a dog. If you’re single and not tied down you could go woofing for a bit, travel the world for free. Volunteer at hostiles and go solo backpacking until you either fall in love with yourself or some random person or two or three. Dang but also remind yourself that it’s ok and normal to be lonely. You can give yourself that space, but you will always be lonely if you cannot love to be around yourself.

Wow my edible kicked in while I was writing that and it’s either insane or helpful, but my sentiment is, I hope you never feel lonely for too long. Reach out anytime. Love ya, friend.

Yes this was my experience with some websites as well until I set up an account with two factor authentication so that I could authenticate my IP properly. Some of these web servers are set up to deny certain IP ranges that can’t be cached.

Other trackers may require a set IP for VPNs to work but mullvad doesn’t allow static IPs if I recall. The way around this (from my experience with other trackers) is to set up 2 factor auth. I haven’t used audiobookbay, but this was my solution for 3 other sites.

Guess they should give up and shut down.

I struggle to believe anything at face value the western media reports about China.

I’ve slowly been adapting to this! I love having all my jars, it’s like living in a lab with specimens

I used to spend my lunches watching videos on reddit’s /r/videos and for yeeeeeeeears they would just post videos of influencers talking about how they’re getting fucked by youtube. I rarely go to YouTube, I rarely use most social media I just wanted to waste my 5 to 10 minutes of eating a sandwich and watching a silly video or something, But I suddenly was very knowledgeable about all the stupid YouTube drama and it felt to me like the solution was to go somewhere else, in fact I got so fucking annoyed by these constant bitching about a garbage website that I stopped this lunch tradition entirely (But not before posting a long rant like an old man yelling at a cloud). However if there was an exodus that would also be admitting that these influencers would have to basically start over or hope their followers would follow them. They’re tied to their income I guess. I find it pretty despicable but I think that’s the reason. These people make a wild amount of money and it’s hard to walk away from it out of principle (for them, cause they scared lil b-holes).

Omg I didn’t even notice that. It’s like the more you look at this the worse it gets.

My thinking cap finally revealed it to be capitalism.

I cannot think of any other word that starts with c and ends with m. What is wrong with me

Lol ok I’m sorry, is it cum?

This was pre-linux for me but something you can still do in most distros so I think it’s a valid story.

In 1999 I was using Napster on computer running MS-DOS. I was 12 years old and an aspiring open media enthusiast/stupid script kiddie. I was using the file explorer interface in Napster and accidentally gave access to my entire C drive. I also had opened ports to share certain media and to fuck with my friends using daemon tools (back then you could do stupid stuff like control a friend’s desktop with certain versions of daemon tools). Immediately I started receiving packages called things like “sleep.tight.tiny.mite” and I knew I was fucked so I clicked in the Napster interface and clicked “delete” and deleted my entire active drive.

I panicked and installed the only operating system we had which was a random copy of Red Hat. When my dad came home I pretended like it had always had Linux on it. I do think he was more impressed than mad.
