Hey, Nanami Madobe made me switch to Windows 8 from Mac OS X — best mascot ever! 😍

Intelligence — information concerning an enemy or possible enemy or an area, also an agency engaged in obtaining such information.
I always think of it as intelligence in this sense not as in "the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations" — and laugh about it every time 😅
The #Fediverse is not just posts from people who can confidently install Linux. It's full of posts on art, politics, cats, photography, activism, history, gaming, humor, cartoons, creativity and community from people who can confidently install Linux.

Здесь важно найти «свою тусовку», сделать это по сравнению с другими сетями может быть непросто — рекомендаций-то нет.
Но потом становится тепло и уютно — в сравнении с этим «алгоритмическая» лента в других сетях начинает казаться синтетикой: поставишь лайки двум котам — и после этого начинают сыпаться одни кошки, при чём от людей, который ты не знаешь, а некоторых может и знать не хочешь😸
Тут же сам выбираешь людей — по интересам, либо с которыми просто кайфово общаться.
@admitsWrongIfProven
Good stuff!
@admitsWrongIfProven
Defining yourself with few words always makes you uncomfortable — at times it's even scary, we always like to think of ourselves being more… sophisticated than we really are. I'll think about it!
Good night!
@admitsWrongIfProven
Hah, about the same!
TBH, one of the things that don't come easy to me when interacting online is figuring out person's age — sometimes you meet someone who doesn't seem like a bad person and yet for some reason you don't "vibe" well together — then you figure out they are much younger. Not a bad thing of course and I'm not prejudiced against people much younger or much older than me, but I suppose growing up with different things around you still shows at times.
@admitsWrongIfProven
I guess that's exactly what I'm doing — playing around.
I was always too paranoid to enjoy social media, but I got less so with years and Fedi offers way more in matters of privacy, so this hit the sweet spot for me — I suppose right now I'm doing what everyone was doing in the late 2000s and 2010s, at times only figuring out for myself what people already have — Fedi definitely seems not the worst place to hang about🤷
@admitsWrongIfProven
I'm not taking it as one — these were my exact thoughts on my first spin of this record!
I think even the band won't get offended — being compared to Black Sabbath? Oh, come on! 😁
@admitsWrongIfProven
Ha-ha-ha-ha! The influence — at least on the vocal style is simply undeniable, and on my first listen I was also like: "Oh, hello, Ozzy" 🤣
But then it started growing on me — I think they have things to offer in their own right.
@admitsWrongIfProven
I mean, yeah… I enjoy heavy guitars — who doesn't, right? But I like it with a little bit of psychedelia and "progginess" thrown in. Speaking of Tiamat: Clouds is an amazing album, but Edlund's experimentations took it even further, Wildhoney is top-notch stuff. His later output is so-so though.
@admitsWrongIfProven
This is one of the bands that I enjoy immensely for the past 2-3 years: https://elephanttreeband.bandcamp.com/album/elephant-tree
They have lots of classic heavier rock vibes, but sound modern at the same time.
Again, probably no the stuff "proper" metalhead would enjoy, but these guys are cool too: https://re-stoned.bandcamp.com/album/orange-session
I've had a couple of records of theirs, but I was still very much surprised to learn that they are in fact a Russian band — I have to see them live, I think they are amazing!
@admitsWrongIfProven
From that era, some Judas Priest maybe… I do like early Tiamat, I like heavier prog stuff: third incarnation of King Crimson (circa 2000s), Tool and all that, I do like stoner, sludge… Neurosis — again, that would be post- probably.
But I won't call myself a metalhead per se, I like some heavier stuff in my "diet", but I like it diverse — not limiting myself to it.

I'm not such a hardcore snow fan, but I'm even less of a fan of when it's there and in a few hours it's no longer there. The snow has to act more decisively instead of this on-again off-again shit 😅
@admitsWrongIfProven
Apart from the inconsistent sleep schedule… Not bad!
I still hope that the snow will settle in in a few days — this will make me, a Winter person, feel better 😁
@yurnidiot
It's 1994 and you have a CD drive?! Not biblically accurate! 🤓
That installer even has percentage per disk and total — it was supposed to come on floppies!
Okay, I'm nitpicking 😩
@admitsWrongIfProven
Nothing's new under the sun!
@admitsWrongIfProven
Gang of Four? 🤔
Ehm… No, that's post-punk…
@munir
I can't imagine it being the case with desktop, but if it's a PCI-e mini-card — replace it with something properly supported by the kernel, if not — get a compatible USB dongle. That MediaTek chip in Linux is to be avoided at all costs! 😅

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
