  • My first distro was Bazzite, and I switched to Garuda to get away from immutability.

    Maybe it’s silly, but it pissed me off to not be able to change my login screen background.

    I have never had problems with Nvidia drivers with these distros, and Arch on Garuda has been easy. Honestly, I don’t know what all the fuss is about over these. Maybe I just got lucky with my choices.

    Also I use xfce, it just looked straightforward. It has some quirks regarding the application bar, but had otherwise been pretty straightforward.





  • When I lived in LA it started a week early and on the 4th itself it was a fireworks show finale amount of fireworks for 8 hours straight.

    But just turn on the radio… right.

    Maybe it’s time to realize different places are different and there may be values to other people’s perspectives even if they don’t reflect your particular worldview.


  • I didn’t get a Bambu printer because of the price or design, I got it because of its “just works” reputation, which it does.

    Unless Qidi matches that ease, it isn’t equivalent, and that’s important to mention. Maybe it does?

    And yeah, I don’t love the recent changes, but that’s only ideologically. Practically speaking it is still amazing.








  • Look, I’m a man, I’m not feeling insulted by this at all. If you are, maybe it’s time to ask why.

    I have no problem being a man while also acknowledging that sexual assault by men is a problem that is big enough that it has created a “caution culture” where people teach their daughters to be vigilant and women will cross the street if someone is walking behind them to stay safe. It isn’t like this is overblown, studies vary but all agree it’s somewhere more than one in ten women are victims of sexual violence in their lifetime. That’s a non-dismissible statistic.

    Sure sexual assault by women is a thing too, but men tend to handle it differently than women do. All we are doing here is acknowledging that in our culture “male stranger danger” is a thing that exists and is pervasive and strong enough that many women would be willing to risk the bear because at least it won’t rape them.

    Why would you be taking that personally?
