If Jeff Goldblum told me to be late for work, I would 110% be late for work

Last year I left town for Christmas. Family is always rushing to church, then to photos, then to lunch/dinner.

Rush rush rush.

Apparently its tradition. (I thought family time is more important, no matter if its 8am in a church, or 11am at the beach)

Go by myself to the Big City. Got to sleep in on Christmas day. Peace. Quiet. Best Christmas ever.

Is it true that the centaur from movie 1 had more lines than all the black characters in all 7 books?

And then modern fans get mad at black Snape in the TV show (if that gets to finish. My bets is it will patter out like the fantastic beasts movies)

Tiny phones are fun. Plan to make this a dedicated MP3 player

I know 4 people who play DnD, and 2 of them have swords.

So 50/50 odds they have a sword handy

I hate that I can't tell of this is real or AI.

This guy can't be a sitting president of a country. Like, imagine if the president of France/india/ANY other country was doing this? They would be the laughing stock of the internet. Bye in the US of A, fans buy his merch* and pray for him. (*hell, even YouTubers don't push their merch this much anymore)

I removed any shopping apps from my phone for this preces reason.

Didn't stop me from going to my PC though... :(

Seeing this RIGHT after watching the latest South Park episode...

Guess I need to do some fact checking before I get my hopes up

I don't need it... I don't need it... I don't need it...

But.......

Back in the covid lock downs, I went down a rabbit hole with alternative operating systems. I found TheHatedOnes video on GrapheneOS, got the cheapest pixel from a pawn shop, and started experimenting on the mobile side of things

As for my PC, I'm not sure if this video exists, or it did and its gone, or I was just dreaming, but I'm sure there was a SomeOrdinary Gamer video about how windows 10 wanted a 1080p webcam.

That was the final straw for me, and I started duel booting to get used to Linux. I knew back then I would never go to windows 11, so I knew the sooner I start switching, the more comfortable I would be when windows 10 reaches EOL.

Cheers. Id drink to that. (Am slightly concerned that I'm going to town for after work drinks 3-4 times a week, but its better than the alternative)

 

I watched House of Dynamite over the weekend, but found no reviews/discussion about the movie and it's ending. So I'm opening the discussion here.

The whole movie builds up to the bomb hitting the country, but didn't show what happens next, or what was the next actions done by POTUS.

I know that there is possibly no right answer to what happens next (I can't think of another more satisfying way to end the movie) but it was still annoying. Building up all that tension to just cut to title.

I still loved the movie. Saw about half trailer in front of One Battle After Another, saw Kathryn Bigelow name, and kinda zoned out, excited by another movie by her. Didn't watch any more trailers before going in.

 

i opened reddit again today because silksong is finally out. went to see how the subreddit is going. (sadly, the silksong communities here are rather sane. r/silksong is still about 40-50% insane, but more sane posts are coming in)

front page is r/nextfuckinglevel. guy chopping wood uses a tire to keep the log upright to chop the wood easier.

i remember making a reddit acount because r/fiftyfifty and r/watchpeopledie. now its just advertiser friendly r/mildlyinteresting at best making the front page.

 

Curious if anyone has tried to stitch all the episodes, (cutting out opening and closing credits) into one ~15 hour long video. Might be impractical to watch that way but still an interesting idea.

 

It appears to be a serious video too. Lost brain cells watching it, so I don't reccomend

 

Cant wait for the day I can delete Discord and never look back.

 

1hr+ for a general update* (following the guide. Pre-kernel)

On a more serious note, gentoo is fun... On competent hardware. This is a 4 core Celeron N2940 with 4gb of RAM.

*emerge --ask --verbose --update --deep --changed-use @world is too long to type...

 

Im following the handbook, and I'm up to configuring the kernel. (In a vm. Skipping the optional installing firmware/microcode for now)

Trying for an OpenRC system, but it looks like all the steps need systemd.

All the videos I watched seems to skip this step and just go to Kernel configuration and compilation, but I dont want to a) mix old videos and up-to-date handbook, and b) blindly copy commands. I understood mostly everything untill now. Just this kernel step where I got lost the first time I tried to install gentoo.

 

On a more serious note, how does updating apps on gentoo work? I understand that everything is built on your system, but then if the app is updated, do you need to re-compile every time?
