time to actually use mastodon again!

I really haven't been active much recently, have I?

currently theresa may is drinking from a poisoned chalice and eating with morton's fork. There's no 'better' way, only a set of 'worse' ways with varying badness.

@gemlog @trevdev @MutoShack @xmanmonk there's a reason that comparing emacs to a lisp machine isn't terribly inaccurate. Consider that there are mail/IRC/RSS clients for emacs among other things.

@er1n how is that even possible? I've had Android Studio cause Enlightenment (when I used it) to flip out and eventually crash, but how it break i3?

an example of how horribly off the rails this #heartsofiron road-to-56 game has gotten: I loaded it to see what happens next...and the first dialog is a notification that the netherlands have joined MERCOSUL (A South American faction led by Brazil) in 1945.

@jorty the existence of such a thing actually makes some sense as a in-universe handwave.

@catoutofbed https://github.com/proot-me/PRoot/blob/master/doc/proot/manual.txt basically 'what if chroot but userspace'

@catoutofbed is proot's pseudo-chroot even more magic?

@aeonofdiscord I'm not sure that's what it is but the blogpost made it sound like that.

apparently #nodejs is looking into reducing the need for node_modules.
Oh, and apparently npm made a thing that automagically downloads, validates and installs things on require() or something?

not tooting much on #mastodon because i'm somewhere else for a week with a laptop that isn't conducive for tooting

@jsdtweets you are pudding

so today i went out shopping and got a significant amount of steam credit and a 3-in-volume of #manga

@shellkr i think i'll try fixing it tomorrow.

@shellkr It's' not a kernel thing, it's happened on multiple versions (Plus the laptop kernel is actually *newer* atm because I haven't built 4.18 on the desktop yet).

I'm currently away from my desktop for a week. The weird thing is that my laptop has never worked properly with my headphones, despite them working perfectly fine on my desktop. It's not even an OS thing, as they both run (different) Linux distros and audio config shouldn't vary that much.

So I just obtained a shady-as-fuck apk when I was trying to look at an image in higher res. I bet it's from one of the shady-as-fuck sites and is malware. To VirusTotal!
