I’m nostalgic for Ubuntu when it still had Unity as default, and Linux mint around 2014. That’s when I began coding, and that’s the time I liked the look of them more than the current modern offerings. Plus there was more ease of customization it felt like

I’m totally joining this tonight. Between this and programming.dev I can finally leave generic Lemmy.world

Omg i just tried 24.04 in a vm for testing. I really hate the direction they’re taking gnome. I know they’re trying this minimalist thing, but it’s horrendous. I’ve been gone for a few releases, and this is the first time I’ve used Ubuntu and thought “this is garbage”. Like it’s become so dumbed down.

Maybe my tastes have changed, I dunno

Yeah I feel the same. Have you played possum country?

The Machine is better than a lot of that stuff lol

Thank you. I’m only just starting rebuilding my local music collection. I’m tired of Apple Music dropping music or playing with versions. I’m hoping to build my own streaming server

I’ve always wanted a game that I could pilot from the planet to space and we’re here

I prefer launch no man sky to what it is now. Sometimes you don’t need a hundred features and multiplayer in a game. Sometimes you just want to calmly explore the universe and feel alone for a bit. Not have a million things to do and pop ups . I have enough of that in my life and other games

I like just good old gnome terminal. Theming scripts work well with it, like the gruvbox one that has like a hundred color themes. it’s got all the right features. just works

Currently, I have 3 DEs installed that I use regularly. Cinnamon, i3, and Unity. Cinnamon is for retro themes, and Unity is for a modern mac look after tweaks. and i3 is just nerd porn

Spotify joins the chat

Replace the screen or upgrade it with an lcd

That sounds like a nightmare. I would only discord for conversational communication at most. How does that even work?

So far, yes!

Nvm I’m an idiot

I joined the room but I don’t have permission to post

Welcome! Have you checked out the aspiefreinds discord server? It’s a pretty relaxed, friendly place

Dirt 5, dirt rally 2.0. I must hate myself because it’s snowing and I drive a forklift outside

I was 34 when I first got it March 2020. I have no other health issues. I am not overweight. Covid fucked me up. My lungs were messed up for six months. I had long Covid for a year. My lungs are still not the same. I couldn’t smoke weed again if I wanted to (I was not a smoker at the time, but I did when I was younger). Then I got it two more times before vaccines were widely available. I’m a shell of the energy I had before, and I really feel like it did something to my brain

eh, I don’t mess for fandoms unless you count tech, then in that case, IRC and Matrix are super busy. same with general chats usually.
