I'm kinda surprised very few people do this, it's really cool and in a lot of cases not that hard — most of my laptops have custom boot logos, and some phones too.
I have to admit though that with my Android phone positioning was kinda tricky because I wanted the firmware logo to match the boot animation and be in exact same place as it is in the wallpaper in running OS — took me the whole evening to make it perfect 😅

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.

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.

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🤷

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.

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@qoto.org
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.

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.
