Still rocking a salvaged IBM X61 here! Got me through high school and it’s getting me through college. Makes an excellent no-distractions writing machine, sometimes I also use it as a second display for reference images when I’m doing art
Absolutely splendid, this is going in my art reference folder
Damn that’s very poetic, instead of bringing the rover home we eventually brought home to it
Me with my friend group of two genderfluid friends—one pan one ace—also a cis transmasc, and also a bi girl (I am a “straight” ally)
Oh god as a vintage camera collector spanner screws are the bane of my existence
Blowing up fossil fuel infrastructure would only create more environmental damage. Instead the best course of action is to murder the executives and politicians that allow/subsidize them
Oh damn I’m sorry to hear about that, hoping things get better for you
idk if this helps but when there’s too much noise outside or too much stress inside I like to put on the radio quietly to drown it out, there’s something about being tuned into static-laden local broadcasts that makes me feel less lonely and more connected, not caught in the crazy buzz of the global internet but also not wallowing away by myself. It’s very comforting for me.
nah cmon get some more sleep, trust me you’re gonna constantly feel like shit otherwise
This kinda resonates with me, but I also know some people who are genuinely really nice but also believe in crackpot theories, like there’s this thrift store owner in my town who donates a ton of his earnings to a disability charity and runs a food bank in his store and everything, but he’s also been convinced by the internet that the moon landings were fake and a bunch of protests were staged by the government
MPD + Cantata
For the most part I just lump all my music into one playlist regardless of album or genre, but day to day I also use several different computers, and I find MPD to be the best for syncing configurations across all of them. Cantata also allows me to see album artwork and track information really easily and has good touchscreen support compared to terminal-based MPD clients.
