Isn’t there maybe a way to keep the factory os and selectively disable google services. Sort of no-script style? Not too familiar with the android ecosystem tbh, other than google is on top of the food chain, haha.

Speaking of testis… should I worry I only have two?

Yet, for some unknown reason some treat it as a rite of passage.

I have been using a t450 for the past 5 years as my only pc. For about 4 years I used Arch without any major issues, but my “optimizations” became too much to maintan. For the past year I’ve been using Kinoite and it’s brilliant.

Everything runs good enough out of the box and in my daily use I haven’t noticed that I’m running a 9 year old machine. I even play games that should have no business running on that crusty old thing. Also, the stability is divine.

Seen quite a few of those in the ttrpg community lately.

I got the idea thinking about how gymnospers’ seeds are not properly enclosed. Like the “cone” of a yew is bit like a pouch that you can look into.

Yeah! Prove to us that there is no door!

Not exactly sure if I understand it right, but I do have some habits connected to price gouged goods. I always try to shop in a way that the price I pay for an item is as close as possible to the price to manufacture it (get good deals basically).

For new clothing I only shop at outlets where I can get good quality from name brands for a 50%-90% discount. Shopping “behind the season” helps a lot. I usually buy warm clothes in the spring and summer clothes in the fall/winter when they try to clear out surplus, or just buy last year’s models. A few weeks ago I bought 70 euro shirts for 10 euros because they were from last year.

For food I buy stuff in bulk when I can, but I also go for sell by date discounts. Close to me there is a shop that always orders a huge inventory of premium groceries that they can never move in time. So once or twice a week I walk in and check whats on sale and what is likely to be on sale soon. That’s how I end up eating the occasional lobster dinner or go on a premium chocolate binge for pennies. A few times I ran into some discounts where the item was sold at a loss.

So yeah, just look for good deals and try to reduce the profit margin of the company selling it as much as you possible. Then, take all the money you saved and support local businesses.

Kaiser Suse

Or one of Bob Mortimer’s childhood friends.

Or in modern times videogenic maybe.

Can’t beleive that Uwuntu didn’t come up…

More like yeetcode, amIwrong?

Windows equivalent of 80s nostalgia music genres. :)

Can’t really go wrong with a Thinkpad. Well, not sure of the situation right now, since my most recent machine is a t450.
