there’s no point. I tried the free trial of youtube premium cause i’m on Qutebrowser and the adblocking isn’t the greatest. even with Premium i’d still randomly get ads every now and then. IF i were paying for it I’d be pissed.

Now I circumvent this by just opening all the videos in MPV.

where? I’ve lived in Dryden Ontario, Toronto, Kitchener, etc and I’ve NEVER met or known a single person that said they loved curling and watched it.

Don’t go to bars in Canada on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon in winter then cause…god damn it’s all they’ll show. OH and if you’re lucky, Friday Nights too.

in my 40+ years being Canadian i’ve YET to meet another fellow canuck that enjoys or watches curling. never. and yet they’ll show the absolute shit out of it on TV here. I don’t get it. We even have god damn curling clubs everywhere and I STILL have yet to meet anyone that loves it and plays it.

It’s just so bizarre. finding a hockey fan or simply someone who has played hockey? sure no prob, we all played as kids. But curling? never. I don’t get it. I think it’s some Canadian conspiracy or something. Like for decades the Canadian government has been trying to push curling on us to make it popular or something and no one plays it. no one watches it. but you see it all the god damn time.

KDE is good but please, for the love of god KDE devs, you need to realize that some people…a lot of people actually…use more than one monitor.

Whenever I use Plasma I feel like I spend more time getting my windows arranged correctly across both my monitors with different workspaces. if each monitor had it’s own set of virtual desktops then it would be the perfect DE.

As someone who lives in Toronto they’re a god damn corrupt force that does jack all. it’s a damn weekly thing where you’ll read in the news ANOTHER Toronto cop on paid suspension for something. AND then it’s a yearly thing when the city budget comes up and surprise, surprise TPS asks for more money. And the beauty of it all is that city council isn’t even allowed to debate the amount. they can either say yes or no.

TPS is pretty much the mob.

Kid in high school already wants in on the right wing grift. annnnnnnd he’s done it. the other Nazi’s will hold him in high regard like that fat dough pissy boy rottonhouse. He’ll be getting calls from Erika asking him what he thinks of her new leather pants cause we know she likes em young.

good jorb.

I’m not a lawyer nor am I by any means anything remotely close to a legal expert but I’m pretty sure in order for things to be illegal you actually have to enforce them. Seems like the US has forgotten how to do this…oh who am I kidding they’ve never enforced punishment on any illegal acts for the wealthy or those in power.

We know this. we have known this. If you’re rich and/or powerful enough the laws just don’t apply to you. No one is going to enforce laws on the DHS for fear or repercussions. that’s it. And no one is willing to even try it. Just look at that whole Bondi fiasco from this past week.

“What they did was illegal, what she said should be contempt!”

“ok, so lock them up then”

“wha? me? I don’t want to die…”

dumb reasons really. I like having an animated avatar but don’t want to pay for it. It’s stupid I know.

wait for the free trial, sign up with it using like a gift card that has a few cents on it or an empty paypal account. trial lasts like 2 weeks but you’ll get more than a month as they email you daily “we can’t charge your account, you’ll lose nitro in 3 weeks”

Repeat this every time they offer you a trial, which they will, without verifying that you’ve already had a free trial. I’ve had Nitro for months doing this and have never paid them a dime.

it’s just a wrapper for nix shell. so say you want to use firefox or neovim you’d just do “, firefox” and “, neovim” https://github.com/nix-community/comma

I loved the original Black & White way back in the day but I never really clicked with his other games, even Fable.

I just remember the mini documentary that Tech TV had on him that they would repeat over and over. and even way back then he was getting called out on his over promising for his games. like the original Fable was a fraction of what he promised it would be.

before I made the switch to Linux I never used a terminal. never. hell on Windows I even used a GUI for Git. I used sublime text as my IDE. if it wasn’t a GUI I was lost.

Then I switched to Linux and it forced me to actually sit down and learn the terminal and now…now I have a hard time using GUI’s. If something has a CLI or TUI option then I go for that over a GUI. like everything even my music player and video player. my IDE of choice now is DOOM Emacs. my file manager is Yazi. for Git I either use lazygit or just straight up the command line. but for everything else it’s just so much faster and in the long run easier to just use the terminal.

All that being said if you like GUI’s then hey more power to you and that’s fine. that’s the beauty of Linux. you run your system how you want to and don’t let others tell you otherwise. Hell I know a guy that uses NixOS and doesn’t have anything installed other than git and comma. he runs everything via comma. literally everything.

wait you have to verify your grades…from high school!?

shit I’d turn it around on them and say “I could verify my grades from high school for you but first I’d like you to verify how you believe every update you release won’t some how break a majority of users Ubuntu installs”

shit at this point Bondi could walk into a committee hearing, hold up a puppy, douse it in gasoline, light it on fire, and the Democrats would just ask her to stop then say “I think she did something illegal just now, I think so.”

Where were those charges that Ro Khanna was “drafting” up in December against her? Where’s the impeachment? why wasn’t she held in contempt yesterday?

She lashed out at them yesterday simply because she knew she could and there would be zero repercussions. and then AFTER the whole dog and pony show several democrat politicians were damn ready to make sure they got their soundbites in about it.

it’s embarrassing. Bondi should be behind bars right now and I’m damn tired of Democrats telling me, daily, that these people are breaking the law and they’re doing jack shit all against them.

so basically King is losing this weekend and we’re not going to see him for a very long time OR he’s going to be regulated to RoH. great. thanks WBD.

Honestly the best thing that could happen to AEW at this point is getting off of TNT/TBS. I mean we had the whole Jay Brisco, The Rascalz, and Now this.

I use DOOM Emacs. is it potentially a bit of overkill? sure. but it’s got all the plugins I need, built in terminal, built in git tui, built in file manager, and depending on what i’m writing web dev stuff in it automatically sets up a sort of basic bootstrap for me.

Yes there is a bit of a learning curve but honestly I just don’t bother using anything else now.

Kate is also great.

it’s how they’re trained (or how little rather). They’re essentially told that basically every interaction could potentially result in them being attacked and to stay vigilant.

with ChatGPT you can tell it to behave in certain ways. With Claude it’ll just start mimicking you.

welp there ya go! problem solved.
