Just want to let you know because of this post I searched up the head and am watching the first episode now. Im loving it so far. Man they don’t make good old stoner shows like they used to. 90s MTV is a little before my time but early to mid 2000s adult swim shows were the shit.

Don’t ask TF2 player how they feel about this meme

Oh cool! Let me just spend three weeks crawling through wiki articles, setting flags in the config files, and patching out 15 different issues with various drivers then installing 20 dependencies compiling them all from source.

Hyperbole, but yeah no thanks I’ll take the L on some optimization and 2gb of storage space and some wierd file system locations for files to load a flatpak if old stable doesn’t cut it. you might want to be careful recommending gentoo to people they might not know better. Most Linux nerds don’t want to open that can of worms, but good for you if it works.

I use gimp for pixel art for game textures and to make memes. It has tons of features that nobody knows about becuase they’re fucked by horrendous UI. But theres never been anything I needed to to but couldnt after looking up a tutorial on the internet. Valid points against gimp but lets not pretend people used to photoshop arent also kind of stuck in their old workflow habits and unwilling to relearn new software UI.

Theres photogimp but it hasn’t been worked on in a while.

Also also, most people who use gimp on linux probably did so on a stable distro like Mint installing with default package manager. This means their experience with gimp is from a terribly old outdated version. Flatpaks have some issues but being able to easily install the most current version of software like gimp or kdenlive is night and day difference.

Oof bad guess. my daily driver is a used t460 made in 2015 running Mint. I said that used librebooted thinkpads are a great option to inexpensive preinstalled Linux machines. Are you sure you replied to the right person? Or are your reading comprehension skills fucked? Either way better luck next assumption

Except all those Linux specific privacy/modularbility orientated PCs are expensive as hell with base models starting close to 1k last I checked. They’re aimed at the demographic of cushy tech nerds making bank tapping at a keyboard who care about opsec or right to repair and can comfortably afford dropping 1k on a new laptop without thinking twice about if that money has better uses.

I and many others who don’t live in economic lah-lah land will NEVER be able to justify 1k spent on a laptop just because it has physical kill switches or modular parts and preloaded with a good Linux distro. These companies need to touch grass and come down a couple hundred dollars to the 400-500$ range then we can talk. Until that day comes, the guy selling librebooted thinkpads on eBay running popos or mint is the better option for those who live with the reality of not having a lot of money.

Glad I could share my pieces and help get your brain juices flowing Can :) The Orb is a great piece the multiple holes give give you options in a way that a regular beaker or straight doesn’t. I still have my straight but I only reach for it occasionally for variety the orb is the real daily driver.

For potential future reference: The glass bong is the orb v3 from vgoodiez.

The hookah hose is made by GooRoo for their 3 in one hookah.

I don’t know if you care about dry herb vaping at all but the vaporizers in the photos are the dynavap (m+), the portable arizer air max and the desktop arizer extremeq All this stuff goes on sale multiple times a year up to around 20% off so if you are interested but the price tags are too high just subscribe to the mailing list and keep an eye out during holidays especially 4/20 and christmas time.

The crayola bath color crayons were what we were playing with, they’re great. Thanks for the advice!

The other side of the family want nothing to do with him sadly so im left as the only uncle he knows and therefore favorite by default ( hey ill take it!) Thanks for the advice 👍

I didn’t think I was going to read a well written five paragraph essay deep dive on the nature of bathing slang across culture from an expert in the field today. Well, here we are. Thanks for the great response southsamurai!

There’s three holes, achthually 🤓 Theres a 14mm and a 8mm intake joint that connects with the perc, and one 14mm output where the mouthpiece is slotted in. The 8mm intake can take native 8mm inserts like dynavaps but it gets used as a simple carb cap most often for easy clearing of the milked up glass. the 14mm intake gets the most use its where my vaporizers connect most often with standard 14mm glass male inserts. You can hit two bowls at once using both intakes at the same time. With the 14mm outtake I can swap out the glass mouthpiece for a hoohah hose.

Heres a video of me hitting it waterless if you want to see.

Well… It wasn’t. Say hello to the other newly christened Uncle SmokeyDope

Farmers baths are when you wash up without running water or a shower. A pan, water, soap, washcloth and lye is all that most people had to work with before modern plumbing. For a toddler this means lots of baby wipes maybe a touch of soap around the stinky and dirty spots. For an adult it means baby wipes and definitely a touch of soap round the the stinky and dirty spots, followed by a spritzing of distilled white vinegar or alcohol for sanitizer, followed by another application of baby wipes and soap.

You always have the option of partitioning some free space on your hard drive and dual boot windows along side Linux Mint until you’re 100% confident in erasing windows from the drive. When I first got started with it years ago I had similar fears that something would go wrong with the process or there would be driver issues or I wouldn’t be able to start my favorite software. So I dual booted windows on my laptop for about a year until I realized I hadnt needed to use windows at all.

Hell yes! Scream it from rooftops with your menthol laced breath. The celestial calendar fortold that 2025 would truly be the year of the linux ™ the time is now!

As a tech nerd who understands the value of data and how it relates to companies in the modern day it personally concerns me to make sure my info isn’t easily collectable. I can list off moral argumants for foss and rant about how I’m fighting the good fight against corporate/government surveillance but really that’s just window dressing fluff. The core of it like many things is power, control, and dominance.

Data is money. Money is power. Therefore, data is power. The more of my data I let leak, the more power others have over me. I own my computer, I own my data. its mine so I need to fully control and enforce my power over it otherwise its not really mine and instead some companies who will eventually play power and control games with me over who really gets to control the bytes on the screen.

Fuck you and your forced candy crush ads in the start screen Microsoft, Get off my harddrive. Fuck you and your always listening nonesense FAANG and PRISM, your spyware riddled portable tappy computer gets put in a soundproof Faraday cage when I don’t need to use it. I’m not a stupid animal. You might rightfully get away with treating the general population like ones but I see through your bullshit and and know your games. You want to spy on me? Fine but it will cost you. Step up your game and get some fucking alphabet boys om a salary in a van across the street like the good old days when mass survailance 1984 style was a concern and not a fashion accessory.

What do you think so far?

F in chat for the invidious/newpipe bot that spammed every comment that dared to link a YouTube video directly. Still think of you sometimes, you were a real artificial one.

Qwen is super powerful but the CCP endorsed lobodomy to censor it make it useless for my needs. Mistral 22B > qwen 32B all day any day just because it won’t shriek at me in rejection when I ask the wrong question.
