Shrooms have nothing to do with mass delusions. In fact, they may help cure them.

Are we really complaining about gendered pronouns in source code notes for a web browser?

Is that what we are doing?

There are mountains of bigger fish to fry, y’all. Social change doesn’t happen overnight. It can take decades or longer.

Widespread language changes have historically taken decades or even centuries to occur.

Ask any woman or person of color over the age of 50 about the CONSTANT slights or worse endured every day for most of their lives for some perspective.

Fight the good fight, absolutely, but this isn’t worth getting angry over - at least not from what I’ve read so far.

Fuck him and fuck Israel.

Fuck Israel right in the ass with a 2x4.

They have become the very genocidal monster that they were once the victims of.

Fuck Israel.

I am of the opinion that if we keep waiting for the “perfect” Linux tablet, it will never exist. The specs of this unit are head and shoulders above any other Linux-dedicated tablet thus far.

I plan on buying one once I see a product review, and if it’s as good as I hope it will be, I hope that Linux users will support it with their wallets so we get more and better devices like this.

I’ve been doing IT for over 25 years. The only printer brand I will buy or recommend for the past 15 years running is Brother.

All of that war and they are right back to where they were before we invaded.

I’m a huge fan of Joplin. It runs on everything and syncs to either your or their cloud. Been using it for a few years now.

Israel can fuck right off, and so can Juliana Marguiles, says this member of the “Entire Black Community.”

Inkscape isn’t necessary. Any app that can open SVG files should work.

It IS accessible. SVG is a standard format that can be opened by any number of different programs across multiple operating systems.

Just because you chose not to install one of those programs is not my problem.

I don’t get mad when I need to open a pdf but I don’t have a pdf reader. I install a fucking pdf reader.

Get off of your horse, dude.

I suppose that I’m just too lazy after spending tens of hours locating 71 different high resolution logo files, a bunch of different word marks, researching and installing various typefaces, creating layers, groups, precisely aligning and resizing stuff 71 different times, converting all the text into outlines, hiding all the layers, creating a repository, uploading to GitHub, and then offering it to anyone for free.

I got tired of fooling around with mine and just plugged in a Panda USB Wi-Fi adapter. It’s ugly, but reliable.

And after you spend 14 hours filling it with data, it falls out of your shirt pocket when you lean over to tie your shoe, gets caught by a gust of wind, and is gone forever.

How random. My 2014 MBA with Intel HD Graphics 5000 runs Linux beautifully. What a difference a year makes.

I feel like this is a product looking for a market. Why would anyone ever trust that much data to something so fragile and easy to lose?

I feel safer already. /s

Friends don’t let friends buy HP printers. I’ve been in IT for 25 years. The only printer brand I use or recommend for the past 15 years is Brother.

Clearly, we need more space tourism.

No, you didn't miss anything. the EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) files are also vector files. Inkscape just doesn't like to to open them, so I had to use a program on my Mac to convert them to SVG

I believe that I used Graphic to convert them to SVG, if I remember correctly. I was a Mac user before switching to Linux, so I had already purchased the software.

Now updated to 75 distros.

Find me a logo big enough to print! 🌭

You would need to print them on waterproof sticker paper for them to be reasonably durable. I print with a color laser, so I don’t know if the waterproof paper is inkjet compatible.

Done! Welcome, distro #71.

Do yourself a favor and skip the USB drive - they are ridiculously slow compared to a compact external SSD. I found a cheap m.2 enclosure on Amazon and put an old SSD in it and the speed difference is breathtaking.

My SSD has a bunch of Linux distros grouped into folders along with Windows 10 & 11, every macOS from 10.13 to present, along with Rescuezilla, Hiren’s and a few others I can’t remember at the moment.

Rescuezilla was my #1 go-to during my days of distro hopping. Makes it super easy to try out a distro on bare metal instead of a VM.

Tux is included

Added Tuxedo OS!

I am not the maintainer of that folder. I only release the SVG file. You will have to ask ludwig234.
