“ROCK AND STONE!”

YES

Yup, in 2015, more or less, from what I remember reading the Wikipedia page. Got superceded by bunsenlabs, like notthebees said.

2 days ago my friend found an old SATA hard drive and gave it to me to check what’s on it, and me, not having a disk station or anything, and against all better judgment, I just swapped the disk in my laptop for my friend’s, and instead of my laptop being fried it turned out the disk was running something called Crunchbang Linux

A whole 100 pieces? What a deal!

Or “wyrewolwerowany rewolwer”

My classmates and I played around with that one a lot back in primary school – I think I once managed to say “wyrewolwerowany rewolwerowiec wyrewolwerowuje wyrewolwerowany rewolwer” without skipping a beat.

Yeah I thought I was seeing things but nope, actual E.Y.E meme. I still need to 100% it

Linux Mint install one of the hull it on the way do i dont trust them om

The only RGB I have is a tiny module in my mouse’s scroll wheel, and that’s it. I didnt realise the mouse had that module when I bought it and I was quite irritated because of that but I’ve grown to actually like it.

On another note, I’m using an old keyboard that’s basically at death’s door because it seems like it’s literally IMPOSSIBLE to find a good keyboard without RGB in it. It’s insane.

You see these in Poland every now and then, just with an actual central hole. I remember seeing these in my school, we used to call it srajtaśma (“shit tape” is the best translation I can think of), and it was just as bad as you described it. It also had a very particular smell to it.

Yep, that’s how they work on my T440. It’s quite convenient even if I don’t trust them to stay in at times (one managed to fall out already)

iirc it’s so that the text will appear correctly in the side mirrors of a car ahead of the ambulance but I’m sure there’s more to it than that

The polish side of the internet has a few hidden gems like that. This one’s from 16 years ago. krzyk pterodaktyla (pterodactyl’s scream)

Weird, the software manager (using LM 21.3) reports 1.1GB dl, 2.4GB installed (which is different from when i checked yesterday for some reason?). flatpak install reports around 2.1GB of dependencies and the package itself at just 1.3MB

EDIT: nvm im stupid, the other reply explains the discrepancy

It CAN get pretty wild sometimes, though. For example, Flameshot (screenshotting utility) is only ~560KB as a system package, while its flatpak version is ~1.4GB (almost 2.5k times as big)

For the past few years, I just install the latest stable version of anything I use and never bother touching or tweaking anything … never had a problem since.

And that’s exactly how I’m trying to approach everything after the reinstall. I like tinkering with my system, but after a couple months it really starts messing with everything.

It’s funny seeing this like literally a couple days after I decided it would be easier to reinstall my Mint sysyem than to fix the audio issues Pipewire was causing. I’m back on PulseAudio and haven’t had issues since.
