Ah, sweet, manmade horrors beyond my comprehension.

Manjaro here. It's essentially Arch with a pleasant installer, reasonable defaults, and a nice desktop theme. I recently had to switch from the KDE build to the Gnome build because KDE does NOT seem to get along with Nvidia GPU drivers right now. Now it's butter. Use Lutris to manage your windows games in their own little sandboxes, 9/10 games you'd swear they're native software. Some actually run better under linux than under Windows 11. Cities Skylines 2 was the most dramatic example. Like 20 extra fps.

There are effectively zero commercial VPN services that will permit P2P traffic on their free servers, because they would be instantly swamped if they did. The few that do permit it for free, you have to ask yourself how they're paying for that bandwidth.

Oh that's not the moon, that's Yonus, The Infinite Architect. Easy mistake to make.

It's AI yeah. Look at all the tech on the table in the middle, it all just dissolves into sludge. Also, it's hard to articulate, but there's something about the way current image generation models generate transparent materials, such as that squat little water bottle in the foreground, that always jumps out to me. I suspect because it's primarily learned what drink container should look like from overlit advertisements.

"lets you" Was forced to let you, never forget it.

Drugs, BDSM, and the smug satisfaction that I was always right.

Utterly based.

It's better than Half Life: Alyx.

No one can tell me I'm wrong, because no one who posts here can afford to play Half Life: Alyx, including me.

Ha, no, we don't have the kind of political system which would make such small parties useful. Anyone who isn't in one of the big two is essentially disenfranchised.

On Android I highly recommend Retro Music, it's free and open source, available on the FDroid store. It's fast, has a great interface, and supports _{gapless flac playback}

If your city or region has an active antifascist group, inform them. My hometown used to have regular nazi gatherings, now they've all been doxxed and had their lives ruined. They are ruthlessly effective.

Lots of people have already recommended secondhand compact PCs, like the kind most public libraries use to provide public computer access. As an alternative, if those are hard to come by in your area, I would recommend finding an old Lenovo Thinkpad. Even thinkpads as much as 10 years old remain very serviceable, significantly more powerful than most single-board project computers, and their power supplies only draw about 65 watts maximum, much less than the average desktop power supply. I have a few I've collected, and one sits under my router permanently as my personal server. In fact, I'm sending this message from one right now!

So that's like. That's the receiver from some dinky varmint rifle, and I'm just guessing like a homemade cast aluminum frame? Am I understanding this correctly? Honestly got to respect the effort.

As always, deeply grateful to live in a place powered by combustion-free power plants.

Well we won, obviously.

The Marx household was the original punk house.

Looks good now. Try clearing cache if the issue persists.
