My stupid brain always associates the name Thirteen Ghosts with Venom (2005) and I only realized why just now, when I looked up the latter:

Summary: A group of teenagers fear for their lives in the swamps of Louisiana, chased by Mr. Jangles, a man possessed by 13 evil souls, and now relentless in his pursuit of new victims.

I only saw Venom once when I was way too young and it has its own neural pathway.

Bonus: I found Venom by searching “horror movie truck snake demon” because that’s the imagery that automatically pops into my head alongside Thirteen Ghosts. It’s the first result.

We could be living in utopia, but those damn youths had to go and break stuff

I’m still on bemenu since I used dmenu with dwm on X. I should probably check the others out.

Midi chlorines is my favorite chiptunes album

Well there ya go! I figured it was still too niche.

No distro is really based on a window manager or desktop environment. Some provide defaults and premade configs. I kind of doubt any include hyprland as an option at installation, but, Wayland compatibility notwithstanding, there’s nothing stopping you from throwing hyprland on whatever you would like. The best approach is to take a Wayland-ready setup, like Leaflet suggests, and just install hyprland.

Don’t you dare talk about Navi like that!

What I’m referring to is the Baldur’s Gate 3 fiasco. I don’t know how things panned out, but people were turning away from it at the time. Admins were aware/involved as far as I know remember.

Wonder how long that will stand. Also hasn’t 1337 been deemed unsafe, or is it back on good terms?

I’m actually sad that the state of AI deserves the hate it gets. Neural networks are so sick, just going through the example of detecting a diagonal on a 2x2 grid was like magic to me. And they made me second guess simulation theory for quite a while lmao

Tangentially, blockchain was a similar phenomenon for me. Or at least trust networks. One idea was to just throw away Certificate Authorities. Basically federate all the things, and this was before we knew about the fediverse. It gets all the hate because of crypto, but it’s cool tech. The CA thing would probably lead to a bad place too, though.

To the nth degree. It’s got a lot going on

This is literally the last thing I expected the thread to lead to. After last, even. I love it lmao

This is a great move! Facilitating a direct conversation between corporation and customer is great for all!

It clearly ingests and expels sand for rocket-like propulsion, but Neil can’t even get cool with it.

I went from Arch to NixOS and I’ve been loving it. I also had all the time on the world to dive in with several machines to fall back to.

There are a lot of layers to wade through especially when you need a specific tool like your UE5 case. As others are saying, there are ways to make everything work, nix or non-nix, it’s just more to work through after getting the bases covered.

Anecdotally, I had little trouble getting set up on my MSI laptop with an RTX2070, Primus and all. That was after learning the ropes on a Ryzen IdeaPad.

Rambling aside, I would definitely make sure to start in a non-mission-critical way, but do jump right in if you’re comfortable. Maybe if you can stomach the Asus a bit longer, or get the Framework set up and play around with the Asus. And ask plenty of questions! I know I’m not alone in jumping in on nix questions any way I can :)

To me that sounds an awful lot like TikTok being closer to good old American media than some Chinese psyop.

Well, I know what my next project will be

I, for one, only want domestic adversaries abusing my personal information. Actual rocks and fence posts are smarter than this.

If you like obsidian, synching works well to at least selfhost your data.

He’s been ashing right on the keys, the rat bastard
