    Rolling releases for issues with newer hardware and the AUR. That’s really all there is to it. There are plenty of ways to be “unique”, but at the the of the day, nobody else is ever really going to care.

    If I bought myself a 6 year old Thinkpad, I’d put Mint over Arch on it in a heartbeat. For the desktop that’s constantly upgrading, it gets Arch because it has the fastest releases and biggest community to troubleshoot stuff.




  • I see this come up all the time, but I feel like it misses the mark in describing the average dumbass.

    The people that propagate the mindset want to hurt women. The people that follow them just want to be part of an exclusive club. It’s the same logic that religion uses. People like to feel included, and they like to know that there are others who aren’t. They won’t ever admit to the latter, but there’s a reason they do this shit instead of being reasonable and joining a fucking club or going to hang out with friends.

    The women protesting in that group don’t wake up in the morning wondering how they can hurt other women. They wake up happy that they’re part of the cool club and ready to fuck over anyone not in it with them.

    It’s a stupid distinction, but I feel like it has to be made… for whatever reason. They’re still terrible people.

    These things were NEVER fucking left open at the park near me. Could wait there the entire day and the same fucking kid would be using it the entire time, completely oblivious to your attempts to get him to move.

    I swear, I probably only touched the thing once when i was a child. I came back with my daughter a few years ago and nobody was giving it a second glance. Used my kid as an excuse to finally get to play with the thing…

    So it’s entirely possible that this person does real work, but this image in particular is AI generated. I’ve created almost the exact same thing in Midjourney with generic “create a lightning wizard” prompts when I was trying to create an image for a D&D character. The little lantern-like object near his head, and the horn-shaped thing on his chest don’t completely fit the image.

    And then if you look at the deviantart page, check out the hands on the Infernal Conjurer…

    It’s still cool, but I distinctly remember that face. Unless this specific image was what trained my results, I’m just a bit skeptical.

    EDIT: Published in 2012… this is literally what trained my AI results then. I take it all back

    I mean… I’ll regularly go to the grocery store and see soda prices vary by 200-300% week-to-week. Sure, it’s all based around “sale” value, but it amounts to the same thing. If it’s $9 for 2 12-packs one week and then $11 for a 12-pack the next week, it isn’t an invalid markup because you had to buy 2 to get the first price.
