I really like the ring cables and the owl motif. Cabling makes some of the nicest patterns and I don’t do enough of it. I was wondering what made it “owl” at first; My initial impression was a pineapple with the seed(?) stitch in the body 😅 I do like how the beaded eyes pop in the reference, and I’m curious what some color work could do, but the single color does look more elegant I think.

Going with no pattern and just kind of “doing it” is honestly my favorite. It’s so rewarding to look at something and recreate it intuitively.

I lied, it’s either that or going “freehand” and sort of designing as you go. Or taking a unique/complex pattern and teasing it apart to adapt it or make variations. Now I can’t decide lol

I like vim and emacs, but I also agree so I’m not sure how to feel

Sometimes I need to re-pair, but generally it works for me as long as my phone is on wifi. Or bluetooth? I think I had that working alongside a VPN but it was touchy.

You know how you can read a word a hundred times and it loses all meaning? For some reason “turner” just did that for me in one read. Like, it’s a surname, not a word! Somebody has to have the handle @RealPaigeTurner for sure.

Loy in Heaven, what a discount!

I mean, show me the unprivileged, non-aristocratic, non-colonials who signed a single founding document. They wanted their own aristocracy off the backs of their fellow man and to tell the king to shove it.

Not a thing was “discovered”, only ravaged and stolen. Describing the 100% predatory and selfish inception of the country as the “first real nation” reaches incredible levels of American mythology. I don’t like the Catholic church, but there’s a reason the way the founders are revered is considered legitimate blasphemy.

I’ve been eyeing Guix for a while but haven’t jumped in yet. Honestly, I feel like I’m finally getting comfortable with nixos and flakes over the years. There’s quite a bit of un/relearning to do, and I can’t tell if the flow of Guix’s channels/inferiors would match the ease of composability that I like with flakes. The lock system really does it for me and I don’t like the idea of hunting down refs to pin manually or maintaining my own frankenstein repo (other than my config).

That said, I do use emacs and actually like lisp, so I’m torn right now.

Was about to bring up the pagers cause that’s literal state sanctioned terrorism any way you look at it. It’s still surprisingly unsurprising that we’re cool with it.

Idk about the laws in Europe, but an accidental trust violation with that bullshit is actually hilarious. Big tech stepping on their own toes.

Lol yeah, I meant I don’t have the AI junk in firefox’s ui using those settings. Even that chat selection ‘chrome’ page is essentially blank other than a model selector. I don’t know if it usually has anything else, but it’s as local/internal as about:config and the like.

about:config has all of these set for me. I don’t see anything AI related, but I also use sidebery for tabs/sidebar

Holy shit I didn’t realize roblox was nearly worth as much as nintendo

Or a kink!

Uhm, trick question cause nobody ever likes confessing to something.

Did I win?

Lmao I have and just forgot about it apparently

The epic store integration in Lutris never worked for me, so I end up using both lol

Cool part is an antifascist rager can look a lot like a “celebration of life”

I didn’t know lutris had that! I just wish it had an aggregate view of all libraries without games being installed. It seems to be the best for managing a diverse library, but I miss playnite sometimes.

There’s a lot of uncanny movement for sure. It looks almost like it’s stabilized sometimes.

I’d say it’s either AI or Disney animatronic.

That’s a good point. I’ve been thinking of it as a natural progression of the anti net neutrality/“protect the children” pushes we’ve been seeing in the states. Tbh I thought it seemed more in character for a government like the UK.
