Everything has a neurological component to it, because you’re a brain thinking about it, right? At least that’s what I’m getting from that.

But vinyl is still inherently lossy, so the argument still applies.

Yeah I love these “free” (33.9€ optional) games

They’re almost as great as the free (20€/skin) games

“but you can just not buy the skins” sure and people can just not go to the casino and lose their life savings, but that’s not how some brains work.

Restarting can be a pain too.

Recently, I decided to install arch linux on an old laptop my sibling gave to me. I’m not new to Linux, I’ve been running a debian server for a year now and I have tried several VMs with different systems. But this was my first time installing arch without a script, and on bare metal.

Installing arch itself wasn’t that much of an issue, but there was a bigger problem: the PC didn’t recognize the pendrive for boot in UEFI mode. It seemed to work in the regular boot mode, but I didn’t want to use that. I made sure to deactivate safe mode and all the jazz. Sure enough, I could get UEFI boot working.

I install arch, works fine, I reboot. Oops! I didn’t install dhcpcd and I don’t know how to use network manager! No internet, great!

In my infinite wisdom, instead of trying to get NM to work, I decided to instead chroot back into the system and install dhcpcd. But my surprise when… The boot menu didn’t recognize the USB again. I tried switching between UEFI and normal boot modes on the bios and trying again, after all it appeared last time after changing it, right?

“Oh it doesn’t appear… Wait, what’s this? No boot partition found? Oh crap…”

Turns out, by changing the setting on the BIOS I probably deleted the nvram and with it the boot table settings or whatever they’re called. I deleted GRUB.

Alas, as if to repent for my sins, God gave me a nugget of inspiration. I swap the USB drive from the 3.0 port to one of the 2.0 ports on the other side and… It works, first try. The 3.0 port was just old and the connection bad. And I just deleted GRUB for no reason.

Usually, I would’ve installed everything from scratch again, but with newfound confidence, I managed to chroot into the system and regenerate the boot table or whatever (and install dhcpcd). And it worked! I had a working, bootable system, and an internet connection to download more packages.

I don’t know what the moral of the story is I just wanted to share it :)

ChatGPT?

Btw, something that really confused me when I was younger: “98% effectiveness” doesn’t mean a condom works 98% of the time, and 2% of the time you can get pregnant.

It actually means that 98% of people that use a condom never get pregnant, and 2% do (over some amount of time I’m guessing? I’m not sure).

qtile or something idk I use hyprland

Well, the point of this is a lot of suckers forget about cancelling and it makes Adobe a lot of money.

I don’t know where, but I read that subscription services make a lot of money from people that are paying for it but not using it, or barely using it. I guess the “free trial” is the tasty carrot dangling at the end of the stick to attract new “customers” to this fair and honorable practice of “product as a service”.

Are you trying to install in a drive you don’t have connected or something? That I/O error is definitely suspicious.

Yeah I also think it’s dumb. I’m not gonna change my gender, I’m going to change my dick into a clit/pussy. That’s literally reassigning my primary sex characteristics. Hormones also changed my sex, do people think my boobs are a gender thing?

It was invented to kill in a “more humane manner”, not to get rid of kings. That’s just a nice side bonus.

And that’s why we say “porque sí” and not just “porque”. It’d be so confusing! :P

It’s confusing enough, we actually have 4 different forms:

• Porque (because)

• Por qué? (why?)

• (el) porqué: the reason why

• Por (el/la/lo) que: I don’t think this is used anymore without the article, but some linguist correct me please.

Most people don’t know how to use the latter two, even I am still confused about the last one.

What’s demented is guys scratching their crotch and wanting to give me a high five afterwards

Por qué means why. Porque means because ;)

Curious, I’ve never seen ntp, but I’ve heard and used “ntr” (no te rayes), which means the same.

by the same logic I should go kiss a fish

tax protest

Yeah give the money directly to the big companies instead. That’s much better.

In Spanish there’s some things like “xq” instead of “por qué/porque” but it was only used in SMS messaging to use less characters. If someone talks to me like that I won’t reply, it just doesn’t have the same vibes as in English.

…which makes me kind of a hypocrite for using “obv” for obviously (obviamente).

I build my own jokes!
