I am Lattrommi. Yes, that one. You’ve never heard of me? I’m not surprised. It is often said that anything you put on the internet will live there forever. It becomes immortal. I do everything backwards and wrong. I do not live forever, I am always dying. ¿|√∞²|?
Yeah this is important to know as installing two DE’s can and will cause a lot of problems.
I’ve read, but have not tried, that installing each DE under it’s own user can prevent the majority of these problems. This also prevents using apps from different DE’s simultaneously, you have to switch users to do so. Session saving makes it faster than restarting constantly but it can still interrupt workflow. Again, I have not tried this myself but have considered trying it.
I’m proud of the fact I don’t know who that is and even more proud that I don’t care if anyone thinks that is not impressive. I hate that I learned who poodiepie is and have yet to meet any fans that weren’t mentally challenged. It is a waste of space in my brain and I would happily live under a rock if it meant I didn’t have to know about the existance of vapid, self-centered, so-called “youtube celebrities”. They add nothing to this world of any value and wouldn’t be missed.
Who is “we”? You got a mouse in your pocket or something? I absolutely would make that sacrifice. I hate smartphones. I didn’t own one until 2020 and only ended up with it because some scumbag salesman tricked my aging mom into buying it and adding a new number on her account under contract. So she gave it to me. I wish smartphones would go away. They are as “smart” as AI is “intelligent”. I’ve gone without a car most of my life, i’ve never had netflix/instagram/amazon/twitter/etc accounts, I didn’t have internet for the first 15 years as an adult and I am ready to give these things I have now that I don’t want, which are somehow mandatory to participate in life these days. The prospect of getting rid of it all and trying my hand at hermit life or as a hobo grow stronger every day.
It reverses time for just the toast, so that it becomes regular bread again. unfortunately, a side effect is that it is also sent backwards through time at an exponentially larger rate, so you end up with a long wait for the dinosaur to deliver it to you. dinosaurs are notoriously bad at being on time. you’d be better off untoasting it by dipping it in water and microwaving it for a minute or so to dry.
I fed the cable through a hole in the wall, not that it matters since the door doesn’t shut all the way. The building is old and the frame doesn’t match the door shape anymore.
It was easy to feed the line because, well, the monitor is in the hole too. It’s a big hole. Honestly, it’s kind of embarrassing. A mouse infestation took out the supports and drywall around an exhaust vent/air conditioner wall-unit thing and it fell out of the wall. Plus the landlord is a slum lord.
I can’t really do a current picture for complicated phone reasons/problems. Just imagine a monitor in this hole, instead of the portal to Narnia which I lovingly crafted in GIMP: https://i.imgur.com/BLHhUF0.gif
The monitor is in that, mostly held in with spray foam and duct tape. My rent is $325 a month, no contract, no late fees up to 3 months. My landlord is a slumlord. IDK, I feel that might help explain things around here.

they are seriously underestimating my capabilities, as well as the efficacy of my laundromat and determination of the drunken hobos who live there.
They measure the angular degree of the appliance but I’ll wager a testicle they still have not tackled the more critical issue of the degree in temperature of cold porcelain. As I’m sure most men living anywhere with a latitude bigger than 45° can relate, there is nothing worse than having to chip onesself free on a cold night in the dead of winter.
The specs on the website don’t have the number one statistic I care about: Can I, a 6’3" (190cm) man, fit comfortably inside without being forced to drive with my knees? It says it is 69" (175cm) tall which is not a promising sign. The website does not have warranty information yet either, the next most important thing for me. The fact it is mostly made in America, implies that it will probably break within a year which makes the price irrelevant. The lack of infotainment is a huge plus, I don’t understand how those things are even legal. A laptop dock would be much more beneficial in my opinion. One which can easily slide out of sight, like when I’m actually driving and not just watching porn while stuck in a traffic jam. The option for hand crank windows pretty cool, so I can re-enact that one scene from the movie The Game if I want.
After really taking a deep look at the customization options I can’t help but wonder, Am I dressing a Barbie or looking for a vehicle? Can I get the icon in cornflower blue? Is there an option to make the entire vehicle look like a 90’s geocities page, including gifs? I spent who knows how long looking at the options and went to see what the price would be. Well guess what? I can’t! Not without reserving one for $50. Even then I have no indication I’ll be told the price. Sorry but I don’t care what options there are, I’m not gonna pay one dollar, let alone fifty, if I can’t see what the final price will be, even just an estimate would be nice. Am I supposed to trust the word of random news articles that it’s actually under $20k with an asterisk? I don’t care if the $50 is refundable. Any company that requires I speak to someone for the price of their product, is a company that is lying about the price of their product.
Great idea and almost a step in the right direction for cars (in my opinion). However, I can all but guarantee this would be a bad car for me to buy, because car salepeople and car engineers simply can’t help but take any good idea and load it up with as much enshittification as they possibly can stuff in and then try to get the customer to pay more for heaps of shit on top, which they call icing but is really just shit, all while lying about every possible thing they can.
I do the same with “we”. Someone will say something like “How did we get so casual about conspiracy theories?” and my first thought is “Who is ‘we’? Do you have a mouse in your pocket?” because I personally don’t feel like I am casual about conspiracy theories. It doesn’t matter if that’s accurate or not. When someone uses “we” like that, they are speaking for others in a way that might not be true and in my opinion that’s a manipulative way to trick some people to think incorrectly and excludes the possibility that other people might think in a different way. I don’t like when others speak on my behalf, I am not part of their “we” world.
The first one gave me some hope in humanity. The second one took some away. I think I’m more cautious now with people but at the same time I try to be forgiving more, just in case. I don’t like to brag about my good deeds I’ve done, since I believe some people see that as a form of weakness and will target people who appear nice. Sometimes it can be hard to be uncaring however. Overall I’d say they didn’t change much about me, they were simply a form of building experience.
I’ve had it happen to me twice surprisingly enough.
The first one was genuinely sorry and apologized to the point it was almost annoying. He actually had tears in his eyes welling up, which shocked me, as he was 6’6" (203cm) and probably 300 pounds with very little body fat, full beard, just a terrifying looking massive man. Hargid from Harry Potter. I learned later that he regularly volunteered at a local food pantry among other things and really seemed to have turned around since high school.
The other one was a guy who was friends with the first one, back in high school. He didn’t know the other guy had apologized and turned his life around. He gave a half assed apology but was only there as a friend of one of my friends and didn’t know who i was at first, not until i mentioned where i went to school casually. i could tell he didn’t really care. later that week he waited outside my apartment for me to leave for work, broke in, stole a guitar and an amp, then pawned them for heroin money. i only learned who it was that broke in after my friend who brought the guy, found out and apologized for bringing him over.
It’s a weird world sometimes. never know how people will turn out.
My eeepc sadly died last year, it was a single core laptop i had running hannah montana linux in my bathroom as a music player.
My Precision M6400, a dual core made in 2008, is still going strong and sure, it’s slow, but it still works and has replaced the eeepc in the bathroom so now I can listen to music OR watch videos (not streaming) during my extra long showers. i don’t keep it in the bathroom, it’s on a dock in another room connected to a monitor with a really long dvi-i cable.
I recommend against searching for people to ‘make amends’ for a few reasons.
They might not remember it. Your attempt could trigger forgotten old memories, causing them stress you don’t intend.
They might not forgive you. Are you prepared to handle that? You make a gesture of good faith and they reject it, how to you react? That’s a rhetorical question, don’t actually answer it because no one knows exactly how they will react, it’s just something to consider and reflect on.
Trying to make amends would be you, trying to seek resolution to a conflict created by you, hoping for someone else to forgive you. Notice a pattern there? It would be you making things about you, which might be seen as a selfish humble brag or some may think it is part of a scam of some kind and trust you less.
It might turn out that the people you seek out have turned as bad as you once were, or perhaps they always were and you never noticed. Your efforts would be wasted on them.
That brings me to my suggestion. Move forward. Learn from your past mistakes to prepare for a better tomorrow. Do good things now, try to find ways to do it without getting any attention for it.
Don’t make your good deeds a badge to wear because then it loses its significance. An anonymous kind stranger is better than a politician donating to a fake charity, if that makes sense.
If you happen to run into someone you once bullied, apologize sincerely. If they seem down on their luck, ask if you can help in any way but don’t put pressure on them. You wouldn’t want them to feel ashamed for receiving help, right?
From now on, try to be a positive force. Do what you can to ensure the future has less people like you once were and more people like how you hope to be.
There is a bug that is open right now which sounds like it might be one you were experiencing or possibly explains part of the issues.
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=501073
Like the web browsing might have been from middle clicking, which causes a lengthy hang and resuming from suspend and powerdevil are a prime suspect for it.
The login wait might be an issue I vaguely recall about the splash screen and that disabling it removed the startup hang.
I’ve been exclusively using Manjaro KDE since September of 2021 and the linked issue I started getting a couple months ago and it’s gotten bad enough to make me want to start hopping again.
Like day-duhh, day-tuhh, day-tahh, d8-ahh, d8-uhh, d@-uhh or d@-ahh?
To clarify, that’s ether, eyethur, kneethur, nyetheir, kneethur ether, respectively.
I use either either and neither neither nor neither either.
If you can offer advice without her becoming defensive or taking offense to it, suggest exercising more and taking supplements for B and D vitamins. An alternative way to suggest it, would be to ask if she wants to join you for a walk outside. It would be a great time to talk about life in general as well. Of course, that’s only a good suggestion if it is convenient and possible, not if you live separately and/or over a long distance.
Exercise, even something as simple as casually walking for 30 minutes a day, has been shown to improve symptoms for a huge variety of mental and physical health problems. Her issues might be coming from something physical health related that hasn’t been caught yet or possibly even discovered yet. A doctor might attribute symptoms to a mental disorder when it could actually be caused by a treatable physical malady, like rickets or scurvy.
A chronic issue many people face today, especially younger people, is a lack of sunlight. The body uses sunlight to create vitamin D. With winter making it difficult to get outdoors, it can be easy for some to become deficient. The sunlight can’t come from a window for vitamin D, the glass blocks the necessary UVB rays.
Having been diagnosed with many disorders in my life (OCD, ADHD {actually ADD but that’s not a thing anymore}, Bipolar type III, Schizoaffective, antisocial personality disorder and GAD to name a few. I do not believe I have all of those but ADHD and OCD seem accurate enough to me), I can say that walking outside has improved my mental health and overall health tremendously. I’m less angry, have more energy and can focus on things slightly longer than I could before.
Reducing my screen time I think also helps possibly. I have a theory about screens, that since they don’t produce the full spectrum of light that the sun does, spending too much time staring at a screen increases the chance of vitamin deficiencies and might cause some of the mental disorders that aren’t fully understood (so like, most of them in my opinion) or others that haven’t been defined.
I’ve read that it is recommended to walk outdoors, preferably away from motor vehicle traffic, for about 3 hours a week for the body to create an appropriate amount of vitamin D. I can’t quote a source on that, I simply recall reading it and I believe it is true. It might not be true. On that note, this obviously isn’t a cure and I am not a doctor or a professional of any kind. I simply think it might help and I truly hope it does.
if esc or alt+f4 don’t do what you want, try going to window management in settings and making a window rule. you can click the detect window properties button then click the offending window and set the window type to match. then you can try using rules like forcing the titlebar on just that window or ignoring global shortcuts or one called ‘closable’. i’ve never used any of these but it’s a thought.
How are you delivering it? That’s a lot of pennies.
I’m asking the wrong question, does it have to be the same 1 million dollars you gave me? Can it be something which is valued (by you) at 1 million dollars?
How does inflation effect this? A million dollars today might not be worth a million dollars in a year.
If I buried a million dollars worth pennies in my backyard, well actually, I probably wouldn’t be done digging the hole after a year. Also, I don’t actually have a backyard. If I did have a yard and it already had a large pit dug, which could contain a million bucks worth of pennies, after a year would I need to haul them out for you or does your OP magic also allow for easy transportation?
Is your OP magic for sale? Must be less than 1 million dollars or I can’t afford it.
I believe there is value in it. By not knowing about some negative role model like these youtube personalities, when my nephews are talking about them I can be more believably disinterested if I don’t know who they are. When they attempt to explain the person my continued disinterest helps them realize the person they follow isn’t that great, since they rarely do great things and my nephews might realize that as they search for reasons why they watch them. If I use my time to learn about more positive role models and activities instead, it’s easier to shift their opinions to something better. I can’t just say “X person sucks, don’t watch them” since that usually only further entrenches them in watching the drivel.
an example is when I pulled out my raspberry pi, plugged it into their tv and started playing retrogames, ignoring them while they were talking about some LTT video because i thought it was boring. it wasn’t long before they dropped their conversation and were focused on what i was doing, as I played various games on it. now they seem more interested in learning how to do that, instead of mindlessly watching some idiot.
i know that is a weak argument. i know i can also come up with examples of times my ignorance has been detrimental. like regarding idiotic political figures whom i should have learned more about, to help inform people of why they are bad, instead of sticking my head in the sand until things got a lot worse.
so i see and understand your point that it’s better to not be ignorant about internet celebrities and awful people. i still feel it is better to spend time focusing on better things, hoping that my chosen interests can outweigh my choice to ignore idiots. in the long run it all comes down to opinions i suppose.
