Try $30 and fuck painting. Old car better.

Sure but if they break, it’s a more expensive repair, one that I may be able to do myself whereas replacing a mirror or mirror housing isn’t that hard.

I want less computerization of cars, personally. Or at least a repairable, customizable, and FOSS system, if I have to have computers in my car.

Yeah I’m sure I would do the full build, but also I’m definitely a weirdo and there’s no way any of the shit I use comes stock lol so it has been mainly the “additional software” and dependencies bit, and to be honest I had no clue how you guys did it but this post helped a lot, thanks!

I’m still kind of a linux noob is also the thing, I started my journey years ago, but only by booting into tails every so often, then eventually ~4y ago I installed Fedora, eventually got tired of gnome and when the framework 16s dropped I grabbed one and switched to FedoraKDE, and that’s it, I haven’t made the jump to a big boy distro that “isn’t recommended for beginners” but Slackware will be the one I try, because I was a SubGenius before I even installed linux.

Thanks! The “having to figure out dependency management” thing has been the largest roadblock in me trying out Slackware so far, but I really do want to try it.

I need to try Slackware soon, by Dobbs.

What are the names of the projects in the steps? Slackware itself I think is the minnie basement, but then I’m at a loss.

Eh, I’m not gonna switch whole OSes to the most invasive spyware I can readily find just for the once every 3y I need to spin up PKhex, wine will do.

In my day TLC was Tender Loving Care, then it was T-Boz, Left Eye, and Chilli warning about the dangers of chasing waterfalls.

The '50s-'80s mind you where until 1968 you didn’t have to get a background check, until 1986 you could get a fully automatic machine gun.

In 1967 any kid who could get enough money could get a fully automatic tommy gun delivered to his door paid for in cash with no ID check or anything. And they still had way less mass shootings.

Personally I think it’s the wealth inequality and general hopelessness combined with a 24hr ragebait cycle between news and social media, and a sprinkle of “too many cameras to serial kill now, guess spree killing it is” on top, but what do I know.

Read to the tune of “five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes.”

Well I do at least want to try it out, the creator is a SubGenius (thus the name "Slack"ware) as am I, so that’s reason number one, and SW is less likely to have a canonical moment (like ubuntu ykwim) than Fedora.

That is good to know that you don’t have to hunt for the dependencies though because that’s definitely one of the biggest things holding me back from trying it yet!

Praise “Bob”!

I want to run Slackware for religious reasons but the “no package management” thing has me prioritizing my Slack over learning how to Slackware (just as Dobbs intended.) For now Fedora will do I suppose.

Tbf I want to watch this more than any “real” movie.

*Johhny Depp bites sandwich, suddenly he starts a transformation, much like your typical Dr. Jekyll situation with the screams and the contorting the body, then when the smoke clears the only difference is he has Don King’s hair and voice/affectations.*

I mean at least for fedora apparently yes. You guys spying on me wtf?

One would get you ~2-3 bags of heroin but black tar heroines haven’t been sold since the 1860s in the US thankfully, so I couldn’t quote you a price on that.

Ok but hear me out:

AI Battlebots. Would be fucking hilarious.

How exactly does “seeing a man wearing shorts and hoodie” affect your “nice evening?” Seems weird to let something so small that is completely unrelated to you affect you so much that you feel disrespected. Honestly I’d argue your projection is more a reflection on you here.

Good to know, thanks!

Huh, neat! Never seen this, how is it?
