I've known about it for longer but just started using KDE Connect over the last year or so.

It's got some bugs, at least for me. Like sometimes my phone won't connect to my computer or like the SMS feature takes forever to load, but having something akin to Pushbullet but free from enshitification has been really great.

Try not eating taco bell.

But on the real, anything with a chalupa shell(deep fried gordita/flatbread) just elevates stuff there. Neither their gordita or chalupa are traditional in any sense of the word but fried bread is so good imo.

If you can get their potatoes when they are absolutely fresh, they are fire but if they've been sitting for any amount of time, the just taste like breaded cardboard.

I'm on a mailing list for Claudia and got this today. Kind of funny since last week the Democrats tried kicking de la Cruz off of the Georgia ballot.

My friend told me about Bitcoin when it was about $8 per coin. I was young and making some extra cash from working and not really buying too much stuff so I could have easily tossed down $100 on some crypto and let it ride.

The very next time I even bothered paying attention to crypto was when Bitcoin shot up to 78k from like 60k.

So yeah, I feel this lol.

Idk how well this would actually sell but years ago in my early 20s, I came up with the idea for a beer coozie for 40oz bottles.

40s are great if you are poor and want just enough of a buzz but unless you chug them, they get warm halfway through. Which is also why 12oz cans/bottles are probably also more appealing.

Just a big ass coozie to keep your Bud Ice cold in a Sunday afternoon of porch drinking.

I used to use Sublime for notes and then VSCode and those types of text editors work just fine for non code stuff imo. VSCode even has syntax highlighting for Markdown so could be a plus for OP.

Sky Valley makes a pretty solid one.

It can be hit and miss from my experience as well. We have a bar and grill place that has a black bean burger and the fucking patty is 1/2 lb and an inch thick. The burger tastes good but it's way too much bean and it ends up being a chore to eat. We have a fast food place that has a black bean burger that is pretty thin but you get a lot of veggies on it and it is all pretty balanced. We have a local hipstery joint similar to the meme posted that has amazing food all around but they have a beyond burger and a black bean burger and it's actually nice to have that option but they also always have like 3 other vegan options.

I can understand that tbh.

One thing I do miss is the larger modding commuinity. Like R2ModManager works on Linux so a lot of Unity-based games have mod support and it all works with Proton basically out of the box. There is a Linux build for the Satisfactory Mod Manager too which I thought was kind of weird lol.

Honestly I couldn't give less of a shit of most triple A games or esports games not running on Linux because of EAC. I'll gladly keep throwing money at indy devs that make games that don't suck.

Thanks from me as well. I'm on a huge philosophy kick and did a dialectics dive on my last big socialist theory reading binge so this seems like a good way to bridge the gap a bit.

I was super lucky apparently because my degree's curriculum required C# and ASP.NET, on top of our CTO having a big bug up his ass and hitting the switch that disallowed Linux computers to connect to the wifi. Even connecting Macbooks was a huge headache I guess. Dude didn't fucking care and would just jerk himself off about how hardened the school's network was.

My laptop was really shitty too but I ended up running Windows 7 in a VM just to get by. But had to do a lot of bullshit between OSes and in the end, it would have just been way better if I had just bit the bullet and used Windows for the time I was there.

I'm probably an outlier and today it's probably better but if your school gets kickbacks from M$ and you are going for programming just expect it I guess.

LIbreOffice's .docx formatting sucks when going between it and M$ Word too but someone else already mentioned that.

Not gonna lie, I thought elementaryOS was gonna take off and I guess it never did. I used it on my school laptop when I was in college for most of the time there. It was fine but mostly just a sleaker looking Mint basically.
