The intro to Space Oddity is Fmaj7 (easiest best chord) to Em (very easy chord) and with some C and Am. Tab here: https://www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/david-bowie-space-oddity-tab-s365
Strumming pattern is tricky, but it’s my favourite thing to casually strum if I’m sad.
Oooh I had an Intel Atom Vaio Netbook as my first ever computer I actually owned, given to me as a gift by parents for school. I asked for a gaming laptop, so I was real bamboozled by it.
Somehow though I managed to grief my friends’ Minecraft server with /set 0 and enderdragon spawn spam while talking to them on Skype, but it was painful, opening a web page took literal minutes sometimes and my internet wasn’t the fastest back then but it wasn’t too bad either like 5-10mbps easily. But it wasn’t the worst.
That honor goes to an MSI gaming laptop. It was actually really powerful, quad core, 16GB RAM, 8GB VRAM, MSATA SSD and a 1TB HDD that is still alive and in a JBOD setup with mergerfs in my server today serving me shows to watch thru Jellyfin.
In 2014 it was nothing to scoff at, the 880m ran GTA V on almost the highest settings at 1080p and it had tons of storage.
But as a computer it was just fucking terrible, the screen is the dimmest, most TN LCD blue filter shit you’ve ever seen, it was all I had so I watched things on it, and it just always made me depressed that I was watching beautiful films and shows and playing games through this awful blue filter that had no warmth, everything looked like some movie dementia flashback.
USB port melted itself and made some random parts of the case have an electric surprise for you sometimes, keys popped off if you breathed on em but not like you would want those keycaps to stay on because they were disgusting, speakers sucked in dust and vibrated it inside, making all audio feel like earrape at any volume, headphones jack flew out, touchpad was off to the side because of the dumbass numpad, ethernet port fried entire cables, DVD drive wouldn’t read disks, dumbass UEFI firmware locked down to shit, took forever to disable secureboot and the setting would get lost randomly.
About 3 years later, the AC port fried itself and would work like a pair of dodgy earbuds and I had to sit there rotating it like I was finding a radio signal in class, battery was long gone by then so it would shut off at random, which made android app dev I was doing at the time on it somehow even worse of an experience.
Still have many fond memories of my times with it but man did I not miss it at the time.
I replaced it with a 2010 ThinkPad X201 I got for 50 bucks and loved it, I proudly used and abused it and showed it to everyone like it was my first dress with pockets until I eventually blacked out on xanax and procedurally took the entire thing apart and flashed ??? onto the firmware chip and couldn’t put it back together ever again.
I will never understand how neurotypicals have sleep schedules like do you just…go to sleep the same time every day? Like literally to the second, or is there some give to that? And if you don’t you feel bad?
That’s a lot of work. Thanks though.
Is there a way to do reverse tunnels, or something like it, so not opening any ports at all on the network, without cloudflare?
Closest to that XP I got was generating VPN keys and distributing them to close friends, running DDNS (no-ip) on my Pi with a pivpn server and then accessing JellyFin that way.
Do you maybe mean snap?

This is why I moved to Telegram. Idk if it’s actually native, but often feels much more so, and less phone-centric than Signal which requires weird auth rituals involving the phone.
Why do devs do this shit??? Fucking yikes
Yes you can play tennis in bubble jackets rifling through snow but it’s not exactly pleasant, you can put skis on your skateboard but it ain’t the same.
Idk summers are pretty sweet! Only time of the year it’s warm enough to wear anything nice. No need to worry about heating, and the beach is a nice place to just chill, the sand is nice and soft and the sun warms the skin in ways nothing else does, ice cold beers, nights warm enough to not wear a jacket, flowers blooming and bees buzzing around gardens filling them with life, loud music and partying around the clock!
For sweat I’d suggest deodorant and at least a shower every few days along with fresh clothing.
“Taiwan’s strongest earthquake” sounds like a variation of those “strongest soldier” memes
Transitioning. Turned me from an empty husk of a person suffering from depression with a nothing life who was just going through the motions into someone happy, with a million hobbies and endless thirst for life.
Even when I understood what GD was and how it was affecting me, I never expected just how much there would be to me once that dark cloud has been lifted, especially how much changed once I started passing well enough I’d be gendered correctly all the time. It was rough to DIY hormones as a teen, but 10 years later, I feel truly blessed.
No profit in that, though, so doubt any corpos will do it.
But in theory it should not be hard to do, there has to be a way to extract YT’s subtitles by scraping the page in something like Selenium (might be some trouble if they are really generated at runtime or in batches rather than once per video at upload and sent from backend during beginning of playback and simply made invisible in the source), then simply run a summarize prompt on the text to a local Mistral or w/e and have a result. If using 'Open’AI’s API, could even have it be a Firefox extension with mobile support.
Chrome Remote Desktop just werks
Oh I just thought if this change to Wayland is being pushed so hard by peeps here then that would mean at least the basics work on it haha, well that makes sense.
Not sure why
Don’t really know what the technical differences are as I’m not a Linux expert by any means especially not when it comes to the relationship between the kernel and the display server, (Def gonna try to learn more with LFS soon tho!) or why Wayland hasn’t added support for window managers yet.
Gonna have to stick with Xorg until the Wayland folks make Xorg software compatible
Wayland doesn’t even support i3? Jesus
crunchy roll
Ye if it’s a website it’ll auto-refresh sometimes and start playback as the cached buffered chunks age
Or they could develop the API in such a way it doesn’t break every app for no reason. See the situation with PulseAudio for example.
Either way, hard to believe Wayland is still useless all these years later, can’t even run Plank :(
Writing in short form where a lengthier reply would work better and when confronted with such a reply some form of “not reading all that” or other thought terminating clichés.
I’ve found that as arbitrary as it is - the ability to read a lot of information works pretty well as a mark of mental maturity. Also links to Twitter or Tiktok as discussion points. No one over the age of 19 browses TikTok lol.
