Would be nice if there was a middle ground between rolling vs standard distros. I use arch and like the rolling distro but I'm busy and lazy and don't bother reading the diffs and notes and instead just cry when it breaks. Don't come at me like you never do that yourself

Tired of fighting sway + wlroots on Nvidia. Uninstalled them and installed hyprland. It works. Shame, sway worked nicely when it worked

Bought a jasmine plant last spring. It didn't flower first year which I understand is normal, but it climbed well up the kitchen wall on the balcony. Noticed the first flowers yesterday!

I'm about 1/3 through Royal Assassin, Robin Hobb's second RotE book. It's so good. She's a master.

Since getting a PS5 a few months ago my son and I have been playing Astro's Playroom together; he loves it. Lots of quality game for free. Then we finished it and it's pushing the next one to us, which is not free (£60). Managed to hold out a few weeks. Astro Bot is also very good.

i have the brain cells & masters in compsci to handle a nuanced discussion on the broad topic of artificial intelligence, but not the character count allotment on here. i will say, the “you’ll be left behind if you don’t use it” crowd is very goofy just like the “have fun being poor” web3 folks were

At some point in your career you write a test framework in bash and have far too much fun doing so. Right? Right??? 😬
