FUCK CONTENT, LET ALL THE MINDLESS DISTRACTION DIE, WE’D BE BETTER OFF IN THE STREETS, SPENDING TIME TOGETHER, BUILDING SOMETHING, ACTUALLY TALKING TO EACH OTHER!
Says a tiny edgelord in me. I would never write something like this, I’m an adult.

Just copy paste the smartfunny words. 99% of the time I’m not interested in the nickname of the person nor their avatar, so you source-link only because it’s nice. :)

Or you get to experience another big bang. That would be worth the wait.

I like the simplicity and that everything is up to date. Not sure about the weekly 11 GB of updates though.

Saw a documentary about a Chinese billionaire on TV a couple of years ago. He was born poor in some village and worked his way up, owning dozens of factories now. He was super busy, grumpy to the people around him and very torn. He asked the camera if he is part of the solution or part of the problem, he couldn’t tell. Told us he misses the sounds of frogs in the evening, when he was playing with his friend in the forests and fields that are now industrial parks. Made me cry, what are we doing?

Same, Timeshift let me down one time when I needed it. I still use it though, and I’m afraid to upgrade Mint because I don’t want to set my system again for of the upgrade fails to keep my configuration and Timeshift fails to take me back

No, we are not past that point. Stuff can happen fast. Christianity becoming a world religion after being some strange hippy cult for few generations, the collapse of communist eastern europe without a war, noone saw that coming. I agree it looks grim and I’m not optimistic, but I refuse to give up just a few years after grasping global warming. It is not too late and becoming a doomer is not helping.

This looks like it costs more than my old laptop, which I saved from becoming e-waste. But I tend to forget we’re already living in the future and hubs like this exists. So, thanks for reminding me, I’ll look into it. :)

Not sure if you got hypernormalisation right.
It’s when state, population and even opposition play along by their known roles in a common, simplified fake-reality, ignoring a looming collapse, pretending everything is fine because noone can imagine a life outside the predominant system.
Haha, how crazy would that be, right?

My phone doesn’t have HDMI, I don’t know how to share the screen with my TV. Plus I have an USB drive with a lot of movies attached to the computer.

I have an old laptop with Linux Mint hooked to my TV. Firefox with some bookmarks to different streaming services, Freetube with subscriptions, sunshine/moonlight to my gaming PC and emulators to play some retro adventures with my kids. I remote controll it with KDE Connect from my phone. Works great!
I used to fiddle with Kodi on a Raspberry Pi, but the laptop is so simple and easy to set up, I don’t see myself going back.

What is this meme template called? I always chuckle at the different topics but don’t know anything about where it comes from.

eSpeak is a damn good conversation starter. If I fire up my OsmAnd and some german robot with a dutch accent (or is it Kölsch?!) starts giving me directions noone ever not commented on it. Downloading Thorsten Medium right now.
