Hello there!
I boost a lot of posts, but I have a few things to say every now and then.
I am largely fine with boosting posts from people I disagree with even on significant, dividing issues. I usually don't, however, if they actively advocate for these ideas... so it goes :/

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 #System76 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.)
Probably #Nvidia / #Nouveau , as usual (Nvidia sucks >:( ). Gonna try some different Nvidia drivers, I guess. I'm a diehard #Wayland 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"

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.

Anyone know what this model of monitor is? Amazing industrial design that goes way harder than it has to.

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.

Have you heard of the band 1023MB?
Switched from #Firefox to the Zen browser #ZenBrowser 👀
Realizing just how bad the Gnome Software app is. Memory leaks in the background to multi-GiB usage, only closes the window when you do Ctrl+Q (Ctrl+Q is supposed to stop it in the background too), randomly says that it is loading application details when you are viewing an application whose details are already onscreen (I think this has to do with checking for updates in the background), and browsing a category overloads Gnome Software instead of loading them one by one.

I've posted this before, but in light of political goings-on in the USA, I'm going to re-post.
“The way to God lies through love of people. At the Last Judgment I shall not be asked whether I was successful in my ascetic exercises, nor how many bows and prostrations I made. Instead I shall be asked did I feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the sick and the prisoners. That is all I shall be asked. About every poor, hungry and imprisoned person the Savior says 'I': 'I was hungry and thirsty, I was sick and in prison.' To think that he puts an equal sign between himself and anyone in need... I always knew it, but now it has somehow penetrated to my sinews. It fills me with awe.”

[This is as close to politics as I am likely to allow myself to be on Fedi.]
