ah, you've asked AI to do it. now you have two problems
@skotchygut 😍 well done that’s lovely. with the correct speedo sweep angle and everything —not that they used a standard one across models, but many seem to orient 55ish to 12 o’clock
out for an evening paddle and some neighborhood friends have been following me around the lake. I guess they have accepted me as friend ☺️. Normally shoot them with a zoom lens on an old DSLR but they came right up to me
@skotchygut oh neat! saab obviously another good one. I attended a swedish car event a couple weekends ago, so many good clusters from sonnet to 900 turbo
live from the Apple Event where we’re installing Debian 13 on a 2013 macbook pro 13” (and a custom immutable Arch image at the same time on the 2018 behind it) #distrohopping
some day I’ll assemble my thoughts and write the most unhinged Microsoft BOB story. You all have it so wrong. Come fight me bring your CD keys

in today’s episode of slow computing with Kansei: windows xp refresh on an AMD Sempron with a 2006 OS install date (and WD rust).

Then, we put @elementary on a 4th gen i5 MacBook Pro to see how well this decade old system works as a “slow compute” focused workstation for singletasking. Hands down the easiest and most complete installer experience I’ve seen from a distro, including getting the notorious broadcom wifi working without requiring an ethernet dongle. All the little design details show care is put into making it an inclusive distro. While normally I’d pass on anything Ubuntu LTS-based, this opinionated stance is lovely.

Just checked the markdown where I keep track of my distro hopping of my desktop, primary laptop, and even work computers over the years. It goes back to 1999 with truly the most shameful distro I've ever used, Corel Linux 1.x. #distrohopping
is Tuesday evening when everyone distro-hops? My Linux ISO seedboxes are so busy tonight 😍. Checking grafana looks like 'gamer' distros in the lead tonight, CachyOS and Bazzite at the top. Now I'm kinda tempted to do a "lite" distro. hop myself, aka a lil 'bootc switch' to a different custom Fedora bootable container image.
not me distrohopping my main workstation back to Fedora because I.. miss the community? Never imagined myself using Fedora at all nevermind saying something like that.
