my first ‘distro’ was slackware, on floppy disks. then debian or a flavour of, mainly, ever since. i’ve never really strayed too far from debian and apt over the years but i have tried most everything.

you’re gonna need to go two-tone. even tossing just an empty tp tube into either runs the risk of the bag breaking.

‘once you go black…’

ddg isn’t really any better with that exact search query. all ‘fashion’ related items on the first page.

you get the expected top result (imdb page for the film ‘heat’, which you have to scroll through to determine your ‘answer’) by using simply: angelina jolie heat

to infinity and beyond.

the new app-flavoured notepad sucks.

go into its settings, turn off everything.

rar has recovery records. i know it’s a somewhat niche feature, one far more popular in the ‘olden days’ especially in certain uh… ‘venues’… but it’s something i’ve always used when making backups with it.

one summer back in ‘the day’ i was staying at a house that had a snes. guess what the one and only game we played all that summer was.

i dunno which it cycled through last…

“party of your lifetime” in my ass

or

“the great despair” in my ass.

both from wf1999 ost

“just a friendly reminder–if my mission time extends past 40 days, you must register me or quit using me.”

your notice was submitted april third. if they require ‘two months’ notice, the month of april may not ‘count’ towards that.

i think it comes with the territory; the kinds of users that lemmy attracts–and doesn’t.

and then there’s a few films like robert rodriguez’ we can be heroes, which has only his studio card at the very beginning and a title card two and a half minutes in. that’s it. no opening theme, no opening credits at all, nothing. just movie. i kinda like it, actually.

it’s probably gonna be plasma6 by a hair over cinnamon on a rolling distribution. as much as people shit on manjaro here and on that other site, it has never broke on me–whether i update constantly or let it go 2-3 months between them.

but if the de and the underlying os are magically compatible, and those and programs kept up to date, never obsolete, and new ones appear for it as needed or desired… then sorry, it won’t be linux… i’m going back to something like 95osr2, 98se or w2k.

friends don’t let friends microwave pizza rolls.

i cast BSOD

drivesavers, gillware, and ontrack. those are the ones i refer people to. expect a cost of $700-1000 or higher.

democrats are simply the ‘lesser evil’, and have been since the 1960s, at least… and we’ve needed a viable third party left of the mainstream for longer.

republican administrations drag us down and undo gains made. democrats repair some of the damage–but never quite enough, never push progress enough. they lose. it gets undone again and the cycle repeats.

but now it’s all getting destroyed. there may not be a continuation of the cycle. it’s hell from here on until ‘trumpism’ and maga are what is completely destroyed.

just a lame-ass excuse for not finding whatever evidence they were looking for.

elsewhere, some seeding was done.

now they’ll do the ‘full’ data grab and ‘find’ what they were looking for.

i find ddg sufficient for nearly everything. occasionally i will go to startpage or ecosia or mojeek for a different ‘perspective’, but that is not very often at all. i also use wolframalpha almost daily for some sort of calculation or conversion.

i haven’t used google or bing except by accident when using someone else’s browser or device (that is, when i forget to go to duck.com first).
