I would not be surprised if my old coworker-friends started a separate group chat without me after the nth, “Maybe you should come to one of these protests” and “Please at least read the wikipedia summary on this historical topic before you start going off about it” message from me.
They’re fine people but they’re also kind of very… apolitical.
Just one dish and one fork, typically. Sometimes the rice cooker.
I pretty much wash as needed.
Need a fork? Take out of sink, wash it.
Need a bowl? Take out of sink, wash it.
Need more room in sink? Take stuff out of sink and wash until there’s room
Works pretty well. Never really have a big stack up in the sink. Throws me off when guests come over and just grab stuff out of the cabinets and drawers like normal people, though.
I’ve enjoyed bandcamp’s writeups. They seem to be written by real people.
I also sometimes peruse the “who else bought my favorite album this month?” listing. Find some gems and wild cards there.
I just assume big businesses are run by idiots.
If Microsoft had their shit together, they could’ve made something like Steam. That’s just printing money.
None of the guys at my old job liked lae’zel. I think because she’s kind of mean. I’m like that’s what I’m here for. I don’t want some pushover passive aggression like shadow heart, and karlach is fine I guess, but lae’zel making people lick her boots is the shit. I’m not even into being dominated but I do like women with agency.
Pop!_os worked fine for me out of the box. The UI is a little mac-like (dock on bottom, spotlight like search when you hit the super key) by default.
Steam just works. Heroic launcher just works. It’s simple.
I’ve also used mint, but had slightly less luck with its install working out of the box. All issues fixed eventually but there was some head scratching.
Linux nerds tend to have opinions and it’s easy to lose sight of what it’s like as a beginner.
But ultimately it’s pretty easy to switch distributions. They’re all free.
