Yeah I just don’t want to come off as crapping on an art style for no reason.

More often than not Brutalism is nowadays used as an excuse for minimizing cost here. While some of the pictures shown here can look appealing, the style just doesn’t sit well with me considering how it is (mis)used here.

Living in Germany I can’t stand any more brutalism. It has become the “standard” because it’s just the cheapest to leave the raw concrete exposed.

This feels like an “I would switch to Linux if I didn’t need Windows for work” comment from another universe.

I’ll do you one better. Do you know what a windows update killed on my multi boot system? It killed the windows bootloader. I’m working on a permanent solution to fixing this bootloader fudgery.

Did your bootloader ever fail you? Now how do you debug that?

Just had to nuke my arch that I hadn’t booted in in a year. This distro has an expiry date I swear. I could no longer update for the life of me because every package on my system was conflicting somehow. Don’t get me started on the keyrings when you don’t update for a while.

You’d be surprised

I pay for the whole VPS, I use the whole VPS.

VSCode is not even a true IDE like, for example, VS itself.

It sometimes will still decide to murder your boot manager.

Figured out how to automate pushing out videos with to content and plagiarized stackoverflow responses every few minutes. YouTube doesn’t care. I am filled with deep hatred whenever I see that face.

Super super user.

Have you ever tried Linux on photosynthesis?

I use Debian for any of my servers. Its stability is unparalleled.

My personal computers are a playground though.

Subscription for Internet access is the one that’s always baffled me. What a stupid business model. I guess devices not belonging to their buyers is not a new thing.

How close to vim’s functionality is evil mode? I’ve been toying with the idea of learning Emacs but I rely on Vim’s langmap and that is rarely implemented in Vim emulations / bindings.

You can learn Emacs in one day. Every day.

Even if you use arrows, you still have to reposition your hand.

One week later and I’ve since looked into, ordered, and received a few pebblebee trackers. I’m very pleased with them so far. I might check how they track by leaving one at my partner’s place and checking if I can find it on the map.
