I use goodreads to read reviews since they are plenty and longer. But I give ratings and track my progress only on StoryGraph.

My experience from two of his works is that he is fascinated by the west in the same way some westerners are fascinated by Japan as in the meme:

Thing -> boring face

Japanese thing -> face full of awe

Might be wrong though.

Not a history book in the traditional sense, but Yu Hua’s China in ten words is great.

Jesus, that rustup folder is HUGE

My 2 cents. I started with Bazzite and switched to Fedora after some things broke. Fedora works for my use case and I don’t see any reason to switch further. Even upgrading from 40 to 41 worked without hickups.

Looks like a sad and overworked old guy

There’s some people in all of us

People are just overcompensating for their shortcomings :-/

Is there any write-up for the recent events around the kernel and Rust? Glancing over recent posts, it seems like new devs want to push Rust, but older maintainers don’t want to deal with it. Why do people love Rust so much? Is it just a loud minority or does it in fact offer substancial gains and safety over existing C code? Lqstly, can they simply fork the kernel and try their own thing? E.g. do a branch as a proof of concept and therefore convince them to migrate?

I am using stock Fedora for casual gaming. Most games I play have a native linux port. Just install Steam, enable Proton in the menu and you are good to go. Heroic should also come with its own Wine version preinstalled. I never had the need to setup Lutris, Bottles or a system-wide Wine install.

Depending on the games you play, using X11 over Wayland might be the biggest change needed. CS2 with AMD on Wayland stutters a lot, has mouse glitches and random crashes. With X11 the framerate is x2 higher and a lot smoother (though still a lot worse than Win10).

Yeah, I couldn’t set up a compiler :-/ The official discord server suggested using the built-in Arch container but that did nothigg and I simply switched to regular Fedora

That’s me atm! Only difference is that i wanna convert an old laptop into a tablet using a raspberry pi. Good luck to the both of us!

Cause it’s fun! I never feel such a rush of excitement when doing stuff I already know or am able to do wih ease. This has to be how adrenaline junkies feel like.

That should be a “long s”. From the wiki: The minuscule form ſ, called the long s, developed in the early medieval period, within the Visigothic and Carolingian hands, with predecessors in the half-uncial and cursive scripts of Late Antiquity. It remained standard in western writing throughout the medieval period and was adopted in early printing with movable types. It existed alongside minuscule “round” or “short” s, which were at the time only used at the end of words.

Yeah, sensory overloads and interuptions are a bitch to deal with. If I am deep into something and someone comes up to me to talk about anything not related to tge thing I am doing, I simply can’t focus on what they are saying. It takes a soling 2-3 mins to relax.

The third one is wrong because balls are colder than the rest of your body (around 34C). Might be some memes from the femcel community.

After seeing the priginal I was hoping someone would make this kind of shitpost!

Thanks for the honest response, I appreciate it. I did try to communicate it, but it didn’t quite get to her. All I can do is try again.

If it were just to solve this one, I would be happy. The other stuff I can live with, as I have all these years. I’m not happy about it, but it doesn’t hinder me too much.

This is exactly how I feel. Just a sudden and uncontrolable outburst. It’s a stark contrast to how I am usually. I conciously avoid getting into any situation which might cause such behavior just soother don’t percieve me as weird or dangerous.
