When opening it I realized I had actually bought a 12-pack of bratwursts. Score.

Way back in like 2006 when I was in middle school, a friend of mine pulled me aside to tell me there's more than just Windows and Mac. His parents worked IT and they showed him a lot of stuff and he showed it to me. I installed Slackware on a laptop with him. I basically just did as he said.

In high school, I looked more into it and tried installing some other distros but landed on DSL as the laptop my parents got me was a piece of shit and it worked good enough. I moved onto Ubuntu later because DSL can only do so much and really struggled with it lol.

And then as the years went by and Ubuntu started to suck I moved onto a variety of other distros like Arch(which took me 2 days to install and I fucked it up), Void(which also took me 2 days to install), Mint, and when it finally came out I tried things like SteamOS, Bazzite, and Nobara.

This all as I was dualbooting with Windows. I never took any classes, I never read any books on it, I just figured it out by doing it, breaking my OS a bunch of times, chatting with friends and randos on forums and Reddit, and the man command, thank GOD for that. All that and I just come back to Mint which I adore for its ease of use.

So all my knowledge is muscle memory. What the actual fuck does a package manager do? Like I know generally, but there's more to them than just downloading shit? What is the difference between Systemd and OpenRC? WHAT THE FUCK IS HYPRLAND OR WAYLAND!? I DON'T UNDERSTAND! 20 YEARS AND I LEARNED FUCKING NOTHING!

ScreenGuard is not just a window monitoring application, it is also an app limit enforcer

I made ScreenGuard primarily for myself with one thing in mind: Make an application which will allow me to control my screen time and lock me out of an application if daily Quota is hit.

The application is currently limited to X11 and wayland on GNOME only however KDE and cinnamon are slated for development.

Some Key features

• Visual Dashboard with per application time tracking
• Graphical history of entire past month(30 days) kept into DB and used for average calculation as well
• Focus mode locks out applications not needed during work and serve as distraction
• Daily app limiter to control how much an application is used per day

AI Disclosure: Implementation: Manual, Debugging: Assisted, Documentation: Assisted, deployment: Assisted, Packaging: Generated (specifically Arch custom repository for Arch users for convenience)

Thank You🙏

I'm a big fan of throw builds, with giant barb + ice gear and a giant barb throw-all-the-enemies-at-each-other being maybe the most fun I've had.

But there's other throw options out there. I know eldritch knight throwers exist, though I've never tried it what with enjoying other EK play enough that I rarely experiment with them.

Never did rogue knife throw run either, for the same reason.

Figured I'd ask my fellow lemmizens and see what y'alls preferred throwers are, what builds you like, etc.

I run pretty heavily modded nowadays, so I'm interested in any opinions about those as well.

Elon Musk’s America PAC has dropped $100 million to support the GOP in critical races that could control the future of the Senate. It includes TV commercials, digital ads, and a social media blitz across platforms Musk owns and platforms he doesn’t. The eleventh-hour push is a brazen attempt to stoke the anti-trans moral panic and turn equal rights for transgender people into a make-or-break…
