Age of Empires 2 DE is an addictive brainworm that eats up hours like nothing and turns your mind to mush

Yes, unfortunately you have to clean install (they have a guide for it). It's fine for me since it's based on Debian, which has a very long support cycle spanning two or more years generally.

No, I chose systemd for the familiarity.

MX Linux KDE appreciation post (lemmy.libertarianfellowship.org)

Longtime Mint stickler here, never developed a taste for any other distro schools (Arch, Fedora, other *buntus and Debians). But tried out MX after a long period of deferring and I am genuinely blown away. This distro has everything I could have ever ask for - Debian stability coupled with advanced hardware support (with more recent zen kernels and drivers), a solid opinionated Plasma DE setup that is both minimalist and all-encompassing at the same time, and a full stock of sensible and pragmatic utilities to cover the boring stuff.

Mint's relative lethargy at migrating to wayland has been increasingly becoming a sore point due to the sheer practical difference it makes (especially in terms of multi-monitor HiDPI and fractional scaling, in addition to security and performance). MX KDE has all that covered and then some. It's the first time I had to genuinely stretch to find any fault. The only complaint I have is that they aren't letting me post this testimonial in the MX forum because it doesn't accept anon-aliased emails for logins.

Why not just switch to systemd-boot?

Just upload ye olde tarballs onto your static raw-HTML-coded site like the classic programmers (like the legendary Monsieur Bellard) do.

Shit like that doesn't happen overnight, bub

The time scale for those changes to materialize is measured in decades. We might eventually see a dedollarized world if the US continues failing spectacularly for the next few years. Right now things are still in "anyone's game" territory.

One of my past flatmates literally self-diagnosed himself with diabetes out of nowhere and started extreme dieting - made all sugar and high-carb foods haram and even started mixing his own flour to make it "multigrain". Since we were sharing kitchen expenses all of our meals then started involving coarse bread and either chicken or tofu at all times. Made me constipated for a while.

I think all he really wanted was an excuse for that diet and it does seem to have worked well in him; shame it didn't do so on me and just made me eat outside more instead.

You don't need AI for headless apps; you can (and often should) just forego a dedicated UI if existing platforms are a simpler approach. E.g. in most Indian cities we book metro/subway tickets not through an app, but over a WhatsApp text with a simple bot.

The orange techbro forum site (news.ycombinator.com) is built on a Common Lisp backend (it used to be a Racket-based DSL before). IIRC Grammarly is (was?) also written in Common Lisp.

They're actually acknowledging this in their latest blogpost

Author likely isn't talking about generic chatbot use, but about agentic systems that are being pushed for automating everything to the point you don't have to touch your keyboard or move cursors anymore.
