@bryceac It's my go-to TUI texteditor nowadays. I like how it uses modern-day keyboard shortcuts instead of what Nano uses.
And hey, Micro is written in , my favorite ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

OK, so I tried a few other Nvidia drivers. Not working. Actually briefly considered switching to a much cheaper laptop I have on hand, just to get away from Nvidia. But it's Lenovo (I try to avoid Chinese tech, for obvious reasons); might be worth it though.
I had just assumed that by buying a I could avoid compatibility issues, but... here we are. (To System76's credit, though, they're very up-front about their laptops using Nvidia GPUs.)

@royal I didn't think about storage. That makes sense.

@royal I do wish, however, that they said what to do to actually *fix* the screen locker, or gave an error code so you could look it up on a forum, or in a manpage/documentation.

@royal Huh, I think I've seen that before.
I love it when programmers put help instructions in an error message instead of just saying "something went wrong".

Probably / , as usual (Nvidia sucks >:( ). Gonna try some different Nvidia drivers, I guess. I'm a diehard fan, though, so I'm sticking with Nouveau even if it means my session occasionally degrades and falls apart (and the inconsistent framerate... oof!) [if Nouveau is the only one that works, I mean.].
Usually when I use an official Nvidia driver, lots of stuff turns black and won't come back when I resume from suspend.

OK, something's wrong with my computer. I'm at a TTY (not PTS!) right now (i.e. Linux "fullscreen" console). Weird graphical things. My Sway Wayland compositor crashed, Zen browser is freezing and displayed garbled visuals, part of my mouse cursor turned pink for some reason, and this TTY keeps on getting weird small white lines on it (like 3x already).

Please stop referring to the parts of the previous century that I was alive in as "The late 1900s"

@btp I liked Signal stories as a way of giving people light updates on my life without making it look demanding (stories don't cause notifications).

Jackpot: Man Asked What He's Thinking About Whilst Actually Thinking About Something Interesting

Sneak peek into something I've been working on for a while.
I'm not *quite* ready to try to publicize it, but here's a little bit. It's written in a custom programming language for a custom CPU ISA, running in an emulator I made. The game is currently about 15KiB.

@Gargron

Yea, it should be an option burred some place. But I got over it. I'm bothered that sometimes I cut&paste the URL and it get the `https://` though it wasn't highlighted when I cut it.

I'm ready for the weekend.

It took me 3 tries at importing a PGP key to realize the customer sent me their Private SSH key instead of a public PGP key.

I'm not ready for this conversation.

I heard there was a new store called Moderation. 

I find it funny. I'm not active in either Fosstodon or There's Life, but I feel like I interact with users from those servers a lot. I love how the Fediverse can make you have a sense of location, where some servers feel like local neighborhoods.
