You mean, the wrapping paper doesn’t keep the cold in??

I think I did, but nothing that a resync didn’t fix.

Installed Mint last week. I already ported most of my personal stuff there ; as a user of FOSS software, it was a breeze. Still dual booting Windows because of work, but I’ll start trying to see if I can get the required tools to work on there too.

For now, my biggest issue was that connecting my Bluetooth headphones to both Linux and Windows was fucky but, lo and behold, there was a guide online that told me exactly how to make sure both OS had the same device ID.

It’s not a painless experience yet, but it’s way less painful than what it was running Win95 back then. And it feels so good to finally flip Microsoft the bird.

Thine story is similar to mine, except thou didst learn with Kings Quest, whereas I learned with Ultima VII.

Did my best to at least give you a digital sticker to use :

For some reason, that last panels really sends me.

I was wondering about the source for this figure. For the curious, it comes from a private report from an independent consulting firm in the UK called MacroStrategy Partnership. I found this article talking about it, dated 2025-10-3.

There is something humorous about the fact that they give this description

Notable public figures described as having the Mar-a-Lago face include First Lady Melania Trump, Matt Gaetz, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Kristi Noem, and Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump.

There is a good joke to be made about Matt Gaetz being the only “man” in it, but I fail to find the words that safely makes it feel acceptable, so I’ll just point it out and assume that lout probably had choice words about the importance of “masculinity” or some such.

Who cares about productivity. You’ve reclaimed your time, and napping is probably better for you than whatever you were getting from Reddit.

If you just asked without the gun, it would have been an enthusiastic yes. Trust your choices dammit.

yeah I don’t really think what I’ve written above is coming. I just expect nothing less from that class than to turn a solution into a new problem. Should have been more explicit about that.

Not just affiliated : gotta at least have had a relationship with Mystra at one point or another.

“So, I don’t get why you people keep complaining. This is a green technology! Why are you so mad we’ve been evaporating the oceans at a speed to keep up with the demand for sodium? As if this is what has been causing all these new hurricanes and flood!”

The current timeline made me into a grumpy pessimist. I need to get out of that mindset.

never noticed! will not recommend in the future. thanks for the heads up.

If you like having a postman like interface, I’ve been using Bruno, which is a local, de-enshittified clone of postman.

I’ve never thought about just using curl, but when I’ll finally migrate for good out of windows to Linux, I will try doing just that, see how that feels.

I decided to read this comic backwards and found it better. ymmv.

pretty sure that is the big crunch hypothesis

You might be confused because of the difference on names, but an executive order is rather close to a dictat.

But you can make it a new word if you need your orange man to be in a special category. Maybe “executiveordertator” so you won’t be confused anymore.

Animated for you to better understand

nice of you to assume only American eyes are here, not at all feeding into the American exceptionalism trope, nope, not at all.
