as a young person who hates cigarettes and recently went to las vegas for the first time, it was wild walking around the casinos thinking “this is what everywhere used to smell like, its incredibly disgusting!” I’m glad we managed to stop smoking indoors, probably one of the greatest advances of society.

alvr is the way to go on linux, but it sadly has a long way to go before its as good as vr on windows. to be fair I play a lot of simulators in vr, which don’t have the same support as something like skyrim vr, but they have a small amount of visual issues with stuff like timewarp not seeming to work completely properly. for the time being though, alvr, steamvr, and a distro like bazzite or nobara (probably more, these are the main ones ive used) are the way to go. alvr’s discord is a good place to go if youre having any issues!

Yeah!

you can! (at least on googles android tv, not sure about amazon’s bastardized version) I use an app called button remaster, available from the play store, to switch my chromecasts youtube button to smart tube and netflix button to stremio

usually I get a lot of my info from youtube channels I like to watch; just seeing what they’re up to and if it’ll be relevant to me or just entertainment. some channels I enjoy are hardware haven, raid owl, techno tim, and christian lempa. I’m not super knowledgeable and also pretty new to self hosting but these guys have helped me a lot so I figure I pass em on and hope you gain from their knowledge as well!

good point, but I worry about a loop of the media giving attention, making people more aware that this party exists, ignorant people give them more support, repeat. seems like a similar strategy happened in the us with our media giving trump endless headlines.

I know right… the wings dont even flap!

I buy it. Kroger has some amazing artisan garlic bread.

it truly is a sad thing to view. I’m 100% sure if conservatives weren’t reaping the benefits of the left without giving anything in return in my union we’d be so much better off wage and benefits wise. I cannot comprehend how union members can support trump, who supports project 2025 and therefore the stripping of our rights we’ve fought for for over 100 years to get to the place they’re at now.

theres a local tea shop in seattle that I enjoy going to. they have a website for online orders too!

p.s. - if youre ever in the area, visit the location on king street. the sweetest old lady works there and shes super passionate about tea.

seconded for bazzite. I just came from cachyos (arch based) because it was missing a wayland component to make vr work. I had bazzite on my steam deck already so I figured I’d give it a shot on my pc. everything I wanna do works with minimal to no tinkering required, and I’m glad to know if I break something I can easily roll back in grub.

I have adhd and have tried it, didnt feel very much at all except the world looked… brighter? but ive also have heard similar experiences from folks who are also adhd and have tried it.

one morning I was headed to school and I witnessed this one car driving a little erratically while on the highway, I managed to get past them but kept an eye on my rear mirror, less than a minute later they slammed into another car causing a crash.

where are the fritos???

worst bank ive ever had the displeasure of using, they’d take a $12 “service fee” out of my account that I was using for savings for not having direct deposit set up for it, while I was struggling financially. way to kick someone while they’re down.

murica!!! everyone’s gotta have their guns!!!

that is kinda what I’m trying to do. truenas is nice and all but its also pretty advanced and not beginner friendly when it comes to a lot of things. I’ve heard a lot about casaos from a youtuber that I like to watch, but I never realized that it was more of a nas os than just a platform to run applications. I’ll give it a shot! thanks for the recommendation.

this seems to have worked, but whenever I go in in filebrowser everything is read only. any way to change this?
