I don’t want to crush people’s optimism (I’m also envious of your viewpoint), but what makes you think any of this will pop and return to normalcy?

It isn’t.

$1130 CAD for the 512gb model.

I built my gaming desktop for that price and it has a 4070 super.

Next word generating companies have literally made personal computing unaffordable for the next decade (at least).

Here in my garage…

No don’t do this. Own it. It’s cool and normal to buy dinosaur toys in your mid to late thirties and beyond. It’s excellent to buy those little sponge capsules that expand in the bath. Nothing is more sensual than a candle-lit bath with a fresh pack of expandable bath dinos. I’m willing to cage fight someone over this.

I remember the HTC Facebook phone. It was a raving success.

Ya the Blackhawk game I played once and it was super cool. I wasn’t good at it though haha.

Would you recommend the new one?

I’ve been burnt out by Star Wars and was in the search for more sci-fi lore so I’ve been getting into Warhammer 40k games.

Currently playing Space Marine and Mechanicus. Mechanicus is the first turn based tactics game I’ve played and I’m loving it. Very straightforward without a big learning curve, big and non-complicated UI, fun mechanics.

Lovely for a casual session.

Delta force as in the Novalogic game??? If so I had the demo as a kid and played the crap out of the pyramid level where you get flown in on a Blackhawk and go into a burial tomb.

Shadow or Mordor is so good. I put like 80 hours into it and have been toying with the idea of starting again.

Pretty strong and judgemental opinions. Also incorrect 😀

Immutable distros are great for the overwhelming majority of all computer users. Most people want a computer that lets them web browser, game, consume media, and do application based productivity like editing (documents, photos, illustrations, video, etc.). In fact, that was too generous of a description because most people just consume content.

If your distro requires cli for regular usage and requires manual maintenance, it’s only suitable for computer adepts, which is a small minority of all computer users. You are not the average computer user. No one on this site is. If you can’t see that then you aren’t in touch with reality.

Yes but who actually cares? If society tolerates no actual real physical transfer of goods and leaves it all speculative, it doesn’t matter. The deals are made, financial institutions accept this, realistically it doesn’t matter that none of this is “real”. If society decides that it’s real, it’s real. Just like how paper money has zero real tangible worth. It’s all an agreed upon concept. The same is happening here.

The economy we had for the last handful of decades is gone. Speculative economy where only the top percentage trades with itself is where we are at and where we will stay.

It’s mask off time for capitalism. Business to person sales are no longer lucrative. All the money is in company to company now. See AI companies buying out entire present and future stock of PC parts until 2030. Regular people are no longer needed in this form of society. That’s why the market goes up while job numbers and employment go down. The economy can now support itself without anyone else.

You’re one of my favourite terpenes

I second this. Am idiot

People like you are miserable. Someone puts time and effort into making their own software, share it for free with other people, give them a very easy way to set it up themselves, and then you come in and complain? Loser behaviour.

It’s all part of learning 😎

I’ve grown oyster mushrooms from the grocery store on used coffee grounds and I mixed things with my hands in open air. Take the cakes out of the jar. Put them in your fruiting chamber (or plastic bag draped over it). The mycelium is a little plant animal and it breathes oxygen. You’ve stuffed it in an airless room with a tiny little hole. The whole body needs to be able to breathe. Not just the elbow. Oysters aren’t enoki.

The long fruiting bodies that just abort are because it’s starving for oxygen. Remove them from the glass jars and put them in a box that’s kept humid (like a plastic container). Look up “shotgun fruiting chamber”. Or you can crumble your entire cake into a bin with some coco coir (contamination resistant) and the mycelium will spread and quickly start forming hyphal nodes and then fruit properly.

You got this!
