Glifted

Check out a band called Pelican, especially their early stuff. It’s not exactly what you’re looking for but it might scratch that itch a little

Ubuntu because I’m old, uncool, and tired

This could easily be a joke too

My lucky ass bought a house in late 2019. I’m happy I’m making money on it but this doesn’t seem healthy

I’m talking about puts-ketchup-on-popcorn Jamie Loftus

Ahhh yes history’s greatest monster Jamie Loftus

“WRRREEEEEE!” 👋💥💨🗽

I don’t know why but there’s something about this I find really unsettling

Like I have seen horrible imagery of people being droned and disemboweled and that time a Russian T-72 fired on a Ukrainian squad point blank. All that will be with me forever.

Somehow I feel this will be too. There’s a sick symbolism to seeing a war machine uncontrollably digging itself into the ground. Helpless to stop its own spiral downward

I laughed pretty hard at the Manjaro one

I really enjoyed it when it came out. I wonder why reviews are “mixed” now

Edit: Just looked it up. Apparently it’s developed a lot of bugs since launch

I just switched back to Linux a week ago (Ubuntu Studio 24.04) from windows. I used to use Linux 15 years ago and I tried a lot of distros at that time. Eventually I landed on Crunchbang which I loved dearly.

Since it’s been awhile I wanted something fairly vanilla so Ubuntu Studio felt like a good start. I was planning on switching to something else (I hear we have Crunchbang++ now) after getting used to Linux again but I have kind of settled in to Ubuntu now. It feels a little sloppy but comfortable somehow.

The problem is what you’re looking for is far less common than it used to be.

The bottom has dropped out of the market. Cars under a certain value are usually scrapped and/or parted out. You will find them occasionally but it’s getting rare. In my local area I find that Craigslist has the best selection of beaters, but it’s still difficult to find anything worthwhile under $4000.

Might be time to consider a motorcycle, scooter, or e-bike of you can make it work

Edit: one more thing. There are ways to browse FB marketplace without an account.

I recommend autotempest as it searches multiple sites.

Like most polish dishes it sounds like it would be disgusting, looks disgusting, and probably tastes surprisingly good

DCA broke me because I know about 90% of those buttons and switches

I used to be acquainted with a guy who would buy billboard time and put fake joke ads on them. This seems like something he’d put up

Discs are asexual. It’s why they can make offspring without a partner.

I want to be optimistic that the industry will learn from these failures but they only ever seem to learn the wrong lessons

Primarily I just think the difference is overall good design between the OS and the phone itself. There are a lot of little thoughtful details that improve the experience.

The ‘glyph’ lights are a good example. When I was researching the phone I thought they were just a gimmick. Like sure they’re neat and all but I didn’t really see much value added. However, in practice you start realizing how valuable they are.

The notifications lights can be customized so important ones turn on a light until the phone is checked. This makes ignoring your phone so much easier. The Glyph Timer is really useful, especially if you need a silent timer. There’s also a Glyph flashlight. This seems redundant at first because there’s already an LED flashlight on the back of the phone, like every other phone. However, the Glyph flashlight is much softer which is perfect for navigating a dark room where someone is sleeping.

People will point out that most of Nothing’s features can be replicated in some capacity on any Android phone. This is absolutely true, but I think they’re discounting how thoughtfully these details are implemented by Nothing on their phones.

…and just so it’s perfectly clear: I am VERY happy with Nothing OS and the 2a. Like, happy enough that my next phone will likely be a Nothing phone as well. It’s been the best out-of-box user experience I’ve ever had with a phone
