latex
(v0181 (XSTM (ST
I should get a latex suit but, like, IDK where to get one and I don't trust my measuring skills when it comes to tight-fitting clothing )
(ST I also hate tight clothing in general, but maybe it's better if it's flexible )))

horse hyperloop )))
(v0181 (SPON (QUERY
what if, in a parallel world, we got wealthy a bit too early and somehow had horse dependent infrastructure

(v0181 (XSTM (CT
I brought my desktop over and it's currently on a very cursed windows install
I'm upgrading my SSD so I might as well reinstall windows )
(QUERY ... or I could install linux but I'm not sure which distro I'd use:
- debian, arch, KDE neon, linux mint: boring
- fedora, openSUSE: I've never tried it before, but why should I
- ubuntu: how dare you
- gentoo, nix: I want to actually use my computer, thank you very much
- void: I'm too familiar with systemd and its package repo is quite small iirc
- BSDs: I'd like to game on this thing, sorry
for context I'm using debian on my server and it's... fine? but boring, and I'm familiar everything in the boring list
also I need desktop environment recommendations:
- GNOME: I mean, it has a... unique aesthetic
- KDE: boring
- LXDE, XFCE: They look old
- Tiling WMs: pretty cool when they work, confusing as hell when they don't; also they rarely come with task bars and stuff I expect
- EXWM: I actually did use it for a while but no thanks
)))
(v0181 (SPON (ST
if I ever get my robot body I'd probably be as stiff as a rock most of the time and I won't have idle animations or anything
I wanna minimize wear and tear and power consumption )))
(v0181 (EXTN (ST
yes I know that's just a debugger )))
(v0181 (SPON (ST
the existence of real time corruptor implies the existence of turn based corruptor )))

(v0181 (XSTM (QUERY
why does my instance's CDN (or whatever gets it to show images) not work on my university's wifi specifically )))
advertisement (not mine)
(v0181 (XSTM (QUERY
why does [payment processor] have a "[pay] canadian" campaign )

(v0180 (SPON (ST
fun fact: instead of saying you have 1 of something, you can say that you have approximately 1.66039067 yoctomoles of something )))
@ielenia @vi (v0180 (INTE (ST
seems like even CBC doesn't make that distinction (despite canada's 3rd largest city being right next to the "wrong" washington )
(ST there's a headline calling the southeastern part of DC "southeast washington" )))
(v0180 (XSTM (ST
it's funny how the orange juice vending machine at the skytrain station advertises "oranges from 36° N" )
(ST I suspect it used to say "US oranges" )
(CT and no I didn't know where 36°N is either, I had to look up a map )))
