Wow, so you put your blanket it a bag. I guess what I use are basically quilts. Yours look much more fluffy, and also, the bag itself is much more light than my quilt-like blankets.

I don’t put anything around a blanket. Can you find a picture?

Blanket is how I get to sleep. I need it. I wish there was a cold blanket for these stupid hot summers. Edit: and yet I can nap fully clothes, on top the blankets, in the afternoon (if I’m super exhausted). So maybe I could condition myself out of this? But I’m not willing to risk my sleep on experiments).

Interesting solution. (Kkitted means knitted, right?)

violence as a means to an end, pragmatically, has enormous costs,

The people I’m talking about (the worst ones) don’t even have an “end.” No plan at all. The violence is the end. It’s pure stupidity. I see it as the lust for violence, coming up with some politics to justify itself.

I honestly think self-righteousness pushes people away. It’s why I can barely stand bluesky. During the big exodus from reddit, all these so-called far-lefties (who I think were just reddit goons doing infiltration) were all screaming for everybody to defederate. Even now, I keep arguing against idiots posting “kill a cop” or “kill fascists” memes, like this is literally an “advocate violence” platform. I don’t expect to pull big numbers with that kind of shit.

Social media is kinda washed up. A lot of people are on substack, too. The internet as a place is just less popular, I think. We’re all getting sick of it.

In theory the fediverse is not a monolith. We actually want for this to not work.

Debian. You’ll have the same (amazing) package manager without the extra ubuntu stuff. Find a desktop manager that supports the stylus (I assume Gnome and KDE Plasma both will support it).

Just make sure to enable non-free packages.

Don’t they have a web app too?

Books about history, philosophy, and science.

Neither. I say either.

I still write my code in calligraphy.

Okay, Newfoundland.

Strictly speaking, DEI absolutely does NOT cover all “minority” hires. DEI is when we say, “We need more people of group X regardless of all other factors.” I really doubt they married their wives for the sake of diversity. So they’re nit DEI.

This is the answer.

Hire Steve Bannon as a marketer?

They already disappeared around 2017 when Steve Bannon’s racist troll armies flooded every single social media site or app. The auto-immune reaction killed the host, which I suspect was the point.

Why am I the unemployed one?

I’m very happy with my EndeavourOS installation. It’s arch-based, but with easier installation and some apps to help maintain the system. I’ve had it on my T16 for more than 2 years now.

Fedora is probably the most obvious choice though, since you’ve already used it.
