You’re making me want to reread all of the books. GNU, Terry Pratchett.
Just want to clarify, as an Jewish American clergyman, the Israeli government is not our government. To say otherwise is to play into the Israeli propaganda which states “To be Jewish is to be Israeli, and to be Israeli is to be Jewish.” The fact that the Israeli government has twisted religion to serve its fascist goals is nauseating.
"Shortly before the Patrician came to power there was a terrible plague of rats. The city council countered it by offering twenty pence for every rat tail. This did, for a week or two, reduce the number of rats—and then people were suddenly queueing up with tails, the city treasury was being drained, and no one seemed to be doing much work. And there still seemed to be a lot of rats around. Lord Vetinari had listened carefully while the problem was explained, and had solved the thing with one memorable phrase which said a lot about him, about the folly of bounty offers, and about the natural instinct of Ankh-Morporkians in any situation involving money: “Tax the rat farms.”
-from “Soul Music” by Terry Pratchett
I can hear both of these quotes so clearly. I’m sad about what Blizzard has become.
To be fair, the plague in Hebrew (Egyptian?) is צפרדע /tz’fardei’ah, which looks like a singular and not a plural. I totally see where he’s coming from. But also, I thought it was in Midrash Tanchuma.
חג פסח שמח!
What the hell, calculators with color screens? Back in my day our graphing calculators were black and gray and we were told to be happy, damn it.
EndeavorOS might also be a good option, from what I’ve heard. It’s Arch based, but easier to install and use. I recently switched to Garuda, also Arch based, but focused more on the gaming community.
I did select a number of programs to install during setup so I had everything I needed. Spot on!
That’s really cool! Didn’t know that. Thanks for sharing, since I’ve just subscribed to the community.
Sorry about that. I’ll keep that in mind if this gets taken down. Thanks!
I’ve been using those on my Fedora install without a hitch. I think I’m gonna go for the Garuda install today after I finish backing things up. Excited!
Woah, you were involved in the project! That’s really cool. I’ve had Garuda on my mind for a while, and earlier today I was able to boot it off the live USB with NVIDIA proprietary drivers. That’s a really good sign for me, so I think I’m gonna go for it once I’ve backed things up.
I have an ASUS ROG laptop running Fedora 39 right now. The reason Fedora is popular with these laptops is that the controller that switches between the two graphics cards is native to Fedora. It’s explicitly recommended on the site.
EDIT: It looks like there are more distros that work on ROG laptops since I did it. Pretty cool!
It’s part of the training. People are happier when they have food in their mouths, so that’s why waitstaff wait until your mouth is full before asking. That way, they can avoid complaints.
Bee running Fedora for months. Love it on my gaming laptop.
Haha, this is perfect. You encapsulated Shadowrun combat perfectly. How does the Darkness fair in the matrix is my question.
The “live, laugh, love” pillow is a nice touch. I wouldn’t mind this kind of poltergeist in my house…as long as they make good design choices.
Sailor moon, you ain’t got no hands!
I remember the first time I soloed Lavos with Chrono. Helluva great feeling.
