I've read everything he's ever written. A real genius, who was able to look beyond many of our modern, pointless issues and understand the real long term threat of modernization.

RIP to a real one.

I may hate Joe, but I love that he's making the Limeys mad.

Happiness comes from goals, love, and expression. I strive to do as much of all three as possible.

Huh. I've been doing this without realizing it since high school after drinking tea.

Live a happy life with people that I love.

Can an animal create sugar from sunlight and carbon dioxide?

Because there are more people in the center & north of the state. And those areas are bleeding heart conservative.

Charlotte County water has had problems for a while. Most of the coastal areas are fine, but the more inland you go, the more polluted the water supply gets. The Northern areas of North Port are especially bad.

As a Floridian, it's hard to put into words how much of a disaster Ron Desantis is. Most people here in the south of the state bar some snowbird cities hate the guy, and he's gotten away with far too many blatantly unconstitutional laws.

Manatee's are pretty cool.

Agreed. Siberian winds have been hitting us really hard lately. 30-50 years ago in SouthWest FL, it would stay at a steady 50-65 degrees during the winter. Now, we're getting 65-80 during half of the Winter, and 35-50 the rest of the time. It really gets on my nerves when people in temperate climates talk about climate change as if it's this faraway thing that won't affect us for a long time, when those of us near the equator are already feeling the effects.

Especially crazy down here in Florida. The temperature jumped from mid 70's to low 40's just last week. Where I live, there's plenty of people without heat in their homes that are trying everything to stay warm. It's a sad predicament.

"Man, I was really feeling shitty about this useless war. But now that I heard a Russian propaganda song from the Drum & Bugle Corp, I'm feeling a lot better. Thanks Putin."

No problem. Totally see how you could've gotten that impression.

I should've worded it better. I'm trying to imply that America's going to do what they always do and instate authoritarian dictators anywhere that tries to do anything that goes against their interests.

I fucking love Toki Pona. I'm not fluent yet, but I've already had so many great conversations online with people all around the world, that don't speak English or Spanish, just using Toki Pona. Really think it should be taught in schools.

1 year later.

"Huh, South America's been getting real authoritarian lately. Wonder why that is?"

Writing, listening to music, learning Stenogrophy, and practicing Euphonium.

Nice. I currently don't use it, but I oughta start. It seems pretty great.

It's fucking scary as a writer too. Who needs a freelancer when you can just ask GPT3 to write a whole fucking news article for you. Freaky shit.

I've been using a P2P sharing application called Nicotine+, and it's been working wonders for me so far in terms of music.

I hate them. They're conniving, evil, hate-fueled beasts sent straight from hell to cause us pain.

They're slow, and I don't need them.

There never was a utopia. There never will me. Humans are so flawed, greedy, and hateful that we will never have anything close to a utopia.

Pixel. Yeah, they're made by Google, but they are amazing for installing custom ROMs.

I'm gonna be honest, I may know how to manage Linux, servers, and the like, but I don't know shit about coding actual applications. But that doesn't mean I still don't benefit from Linux's open source nature. When an application doesn't work, or I feel the need to change something, there's always someone smarter than me who has a patch or a change that I can use.

Nice. I use Teeline, but I've always wanted to learn a phonetic shorthand system.

I play baritone too! I'm actually in the process of auditioning for all state with Euphonium right now.

Alright. Working on so many things lately. Studying Stenography, writing, playing Euphonium, and getting all A's is not an easy task, but so far I seem to be doing pretty well.

From what I can tell, LibreWolf would rather distance itself from Mozilla services. There's no pocket or sync by default already. I think they're going to eventually allow the option to enable it in the future under the 'LibreWolf' settings in the about:preferences page.

Because governments & companies intervene to push all communication about the same vapid pop culture bullshit.

Using it right now. No complaints at all.

I'm gay, but it seems like all you've got to do is treat them like a regular human instead of chasing them like prey.

The EU already burns 42% of its waste to generate power.

If you want some more flatpaks, try Flathub.

Fedora Silverblue. I really like the stability of having a base image that you slap a bunch of Flatpaks on to.

"Remembering You". It's the closing theme of the TV show, "All In The Family".

Ubuntu is not bad, but there are better options. It's unstable, a little slow, and I don't much like their take on GNOME. Plus, they are attempting to replace many of the system apps with Snap packages, which are slower and worse in general.

PopOS is pretty great. The Cosmic desktop is super nice, and it seems to be pretty stable. It's got a lot of hardware support and is very beginner friendly.

Linux Mint is probably your best bet. It's extremely stable, simple, and functional. Cinnamon is an amazing desktop environment, and their takes on XFCE & Mate are good too. Plus, they've got a version based directly on Debian.

Why does England suck so much?
