For those asking, I found the wallpaper at wallhaven.cc. After some searching, was able to find a link...

My starting point was an old set of JaKoolit dot files. I think the latest can be had here.

Maybe I'll post the style.css later if it's not too big...

Well, here's the Waybar config (some things are commented out as I'm endlessly tweaking it...)

{
//
// Reminder: The last statement in a module block cannot
// be commented out or waybar won't launch.
//
"include": "~/.config/hypr/waybar/modules",
"layer": "top",

"exclusive": true,
"passthrough": false,
"position": "top",

"fixed-center": true,
"ipc": true,
"margin-left": 0,
"margin-right": 0,

"modules-left": [
"custom/menu",
"hyprland/workspaces",
"hyprland/window",
],

"modules-center": [
"clock",
//"custom/weather",
"custom/task-phone",

"modules-right": [

}

It's borrows from "Matrial-Black-Cherry, Kora Grey Icons, and "Derp" for the Foot Terminal theme. Also, you can use hyprpicker to sample colors as needed from the wallpaper or wherever.

The thing next to the clock is my own module that launches Gnome-Endeavour task manager on a click and Valent (implementation of KDE Connect) on a right click.

Some of the other custom modules I originally got from JaKoolit but, I may have tweaked some of them a bit as I just kinda used him as a "startiing point". (I've also completely hacked-up the way the clock module works).

Maybe he'll be staying there? They could call it "Mar-a-Uh-Ohh"?

Probably wouldn't want anything to do with a homeowner either...

Nah, it's Genesis, she's holding it upside down....

Seems to be working OK for me on FF with Ublock and Privacy Badger running.

I believe LMDE includes the proprietary stuff you might need and, as others have said, Debian 12 is starting to as well.

For a new user who just wants a good OS to start with, Pop_OS is a fine choice. A little surprised you had trouble with Mint identifying your WiFi card but, I see others have posted on it. Mint is typically my go-to recommendation for new Linux users.

Obligatory I suppose....

Holy crap, how depraved do you have to be for PornHub to block you?

As I understand it, so far, the courts aren't disputing that Trump incited an insurrection, they're disputing if the 14th Amendment applies to the office of the President.

Well, should a Liberal incite an insurrection against the United States, that precedent should be used against them.

cyberspace vs meat-space

I feel this one.... This is why I flex some of my time to Sunday morning to work of the stuff the required focused concentration.

Maybe he hasn't found his face yet? , or all of his donors?

Great.....and what exactly does that have to do with people working overtime and not getting paid for it?

...although, to be fair, a lot of distro's just kinda sort it out for you.

The thing is, there's "iwd" and "wpa_supplicant". You use either one or the other, but not both. Sources like the Gentoo handbook will tell you that but, not all Wiki's do as good a job of pointing that out <...looking directly at you Arch...>.

"Man got so stuck in glory hole firefighters had to pull him until he was free"

This would have to be the opposite of a click bait headline....

bullshit

...That's OK dad....I think you misunderstood too. I was just trying to learn more about this cool game on Steam...

No, son....ya got it all wrong! I was wanted to repaint the stucco walls in the basement and wanted to be sure the latex paint would work.....that's why I Googled "Latex Bondage"....

Can we compromise and sacrifice Nazis?

No....find your tribe....be you

Wait....I'm using Firefox right now.......no wonder I never saw this post.....

I looked at LBRY for a while, but it kinda looked like the "trashy tabloid" section of the internet.

If Jordan becomes speaker, he'll try to use the authority to paralyze the House in a bid to get charges dropped against Trump.

They are, indeed, irony immune....

There should be a horror spin off with Willie Wonka long gone, the Chocolate factory abandoned, and Oompa Loompas going feral. A group of young adults exploring the abandoned factory come to realize that, every time they hear the "Oopa Loompa Song", one in their group is doomed. They lyrics of the verse provide clues as to who it's going to be.

I checked the wrong box on my birth certificate

Palia is brand new (still in open Beta) It's more focused on low-key crafting/farming and community, but opportunities to socialize are there.

Guild Wars 2 is my favorite "no subscription required" MMORPG that could work for you (but you have that one).
.
ESO Online is my favorite "subscription" MMO and I've met people there.
.
FFXIV is decent for socializing but, the hard-core gamers can stress you out. Works best if you join a low key guild that doesn't want to speed-run all the duties and crap on you for not being as good as they are.
.
General rule for MMORPGs in general is, find a guild you like and hang with them.

Wow, and they only have the one God....

"Plutocracy" is the term for "Financial Oligarchy" BTW. Worth knowing the term if you live in the U.S. since that's kinda what we have here these days :/

As others have said, U-lock through frame and rear wheel if possible. Otherwise not bad. I've also taken to using a motion detector alarm on my last bike packing trip.

If he's going to dress like the, he's just asking for it.
