If the US doesn’t fuck up it’s own demise and just dies peacefully, I can see that being the case.

But I think China would use their new powers to help lift other countries up instead of continuing to use the global south as a giant slave plantation like the US is doing.

I still think it’s fucking hilarious that they tried to make him look like National Threat No. 1 but ended up creating one of the most badass photos of 2024 instead.

This meme sucks.

I was part of the reddit exodus over the 3rd party app bullshit. I saw a post from one of the bigger servers bitching about how you shouldn’t join lemmygrad or Hexbear because they are full of tankies so I made a Lemmygrad account. After Hexbear refederated I added a few of their comms and realized I jive more with their community than with Lemmygrad so I made a HB account and added a bunch of my old Lemmygrad comms to that.

I wish the hobby comms were more active. That’s really the only reason I still have my reddit account.

When I was doing the gym thing, I’d just take the first few weeks of the new year off lol.

That’s my secret, I’m always deeply depressed and cynical.

1. Mostly movies from yts . mx, and movies and tv shows from watchsomuch . to.
2. Mostly for convenience and I think information should be free. I cam back to the high seas after they decided to have 4,758 different streaming services and kind of hate exclusive as an excuse to get you to pay for one service over another.
3. I have a dedicated 6TB hard drive(wish I would have paid a bit extra for an 8 or 10 though). I also used it for rsync back ups but that’s it.
4. I switch back and forth between Jellyfin and Plex. Jellyfin is a bit fiddly but open, Plex “just work” but is closed source. I try to use free software as much as I can.
5. Both JF and Plex will keep track, but I’ve had issues with JF if a movie or show doesn’t want to run(I think it’s a transcoding issue) sometimes I lose progress of my most recent watched stuff. Kind of sucks. I’ve had more issues with JF than with Plex which sucks.

I just told some discord friends about it and now they are screeching about Tienanmen Square and such. Whoops.

I’m gonna be doing the impossible and try to set up a PSL branch deep in Christo-fascist Trumpland.

It’s gonna be pure American Fascism. Our leaders wrote the fucking book.

I have a 3d printed fidget slider and a custom-made worry stone I almost never leave the house with.

Candy

I drink trash wine and love carbs anyway so I’m going with Jesus.

I settled on Cinnamon after jumping around a bit. I do still like Gnome though even if both are fairly bulky DEs.

Well, that was a lie.

Lock screen and sleep. My gaming/programming computer is also our media server so it is basically always on.

A dik-dik. It’s a species of deer that is slightly larger than a house cat or maybe a medium size dog. It was super adorable but a bit uncanny feeling lol.

I’ve known about it for longer but just started using KDE Connect over the last year or so.

It’s got some bugs, at least for me. Like sometimes my phone won’t connect to my computer or like the SMS feature takes forever to load, but having something akin to Pushbullet but free from endhitification has been really great.
