Man, I may have grown up with 64-bit PCs and Arduinos, but the ol' Apple II is still surprisingly usable (though obviously don't expect it to be able to run Crysis).

I have a friend IRL called Kit, who also happens to use they/them pronouns.

Nobody sees me getting up every morning, eating well, doing my coursework, applying for placements; because I do none of those things. Not yet, anyway.

As soon as I conquer the depression, sleep disorder, financial trouble, and generalised anxiety, it's over for you hoes.

Please get a life. If you're a chav/ned/roadman, we honestly don't care; nor do we give a fuck if you like them.

I, a member of the working class from the north-east, have both close friends and sworn enemies across this demographic. Do I want to be a part of it myself? Not really. Do I care if other people do/are? Also no. You do you.

Alternatively, if this is a hyperfixation, there are friendlier ways to approach it than accusing the Fediverse of classism.

Nile should totally try this. For science.

(Kinda joking, but I would also honsetly find this really interesting)

Way to just say the same thing a bunch of times.

Well, yes; after all, I have been able to modify even proprietary software to fit my own preferences; but it's clear (and also explicitly stated) that it's supposed to be used mostly as-it-comes.

I can't say I've tried Niri or PaperWM before, but if they're based on GNOME then maybe I'm being a little harsh.

Thanks for the complements!

I know this is very similar to the setup on my Raspberry Pi (different account). So shoot me. /s

EDIT: Ignore what Conky says my CPU is. For some reason, this was hard-coded.

 

Actually managed to install CRUX with full disk encryption, using a combination of the CRUX handbook and the Artix installation on another laptop.

Shame the WiFi doesn't work.
