@maddiefuzz Bonus points if you can avoid subtooting about Reddit comments.

Specific ones, not the general practice you’re describing. I often fail the test of not posting “WTF is this” about a Reddit comment or LinkedIn post.

about to reboot into Hyprland and / or spend the next couple hours cursing my hyperfocus and its “pick a card any card” approach to attention choices.

ok so good thing I had a backup plan

(mutters profanities)

@lmorchard yep very same

very much “this thing looks shiny and i bet if i try hard i can accidentally fry my hardware with it”

hackers.town: 2023-09-20 Wed 14:28

@lmorchard I got Hyprland working a while back, but did not take great notes. I’m trying a little harder this time.

@mc @lmorchard (sigh) nope I’d missed that.

hackers.town: 2023-09-20 Wed 14:38

@mc @lmorchard I’ll give River a shot.

hackers.town: 2023-09-20 Wed 14:39

@AFresh1 Ah well, that’s roughly what I figured. That Codility thing is annoying as heck.

Thanks for providing a shot!

@mc @lmorchard I’ll take whatever I can get working. With an NVidia card and a Steam habit, Wayland’s a big “maybe” for me anyways.

When the restaurant packs the food sideways and the Dasher delivers it right side up.

Five stars, fuck Door Dash.

Hyperfocus for hours to get my Linux desktop config just so. Fourth test run, there’s an error somewhere that the window manager doesn’t log or report.

(faint sound like dry twigs snapping in my head)

Reboot into Windows.

Drinking tea, which has pretty consistently been my body’s “check engine” warning light. Probably fighting a bug.

hackers.town: 2023-09-20 Wed 23:03

@onelson given family history, I use my urge to drink alcohol as a handy correlation metric for how far away I should stay away from alcohol that day.

I’m cool either way tonight, but it doesn’t really matter because I don’t have the budget for booze at the moment.

hackers.town: 2023-09-20 Wed 23:06

oh disclaimer for the purists: I’m drinking a licorice root herbal tea.

hackers.town: 2023-09-20 Wed 23:13

@genehack yep I forgot the name but I knew it wasn’t tea.

Then again when I drink actual tea leaves, they’re in a tea bag so I keep a candy dish of clutching pearls ready for visitors.

And all I’m feeling right now is a certain level of gloominess and the aforementioned urge for not-coffee. Here’s hoping that’s as bad as it gets!
