The witching hour (usually around 3AM).

I love these aged up depictions of them! 😍

I don’t blame people for running, but personally I’ve always found that Fighting Fascism is a Fine Hill to Die On.

Wow…I’m actually a bit scared by this one, lol.

I’ve used espanso for about 4, maybe 5 years and haven’t encountered this issue. I even have to compile it myself because it’s daemon mode uses systemd on Linux and I dont run a distro that uses systemd and had to modify the source code slightly. I do run it in managed mode, essentially invoking it from a startup script when my window manager starts up.

Long story short, what you encountered might have been related to how it integrates with the init system and you might try and run it directly from a startup script. Simple test is to just try and install the latest version and see if you have the same issue.

Espanso Text Expander. Its not Linux specific but its got so many uses. You can even use it with bash scripts to have essentially alises/text shortcuts for short or massive amounts of text. I use it for so many code snippets and template texts in Neovim and other applications that involve typing.

Artix has the most amount of alternative init systems available.

I would recommend Devuan, but it just wraps SysV in runit as a service manager rather than just using runit as init.

Gentoo has options for systemd or openrc. You can get runit or s6 to work on it if you’re pretty familiar with how /sbin/init works,or so I’ve ascertained from researching, but have not done this yet.

Void is very interesting as it uses runit and also uses musl instead of glibc. I don’t think it has quite as many packages as Artix though due to lack of AUR, and I can only estimate that the use of musl instead of glibc necessitates the need for some interesting workarounds from time to time.

I use Artix with runit. Have been daily driving this for around 6 years now and have been very happy with it.

If I were to use anything else I’d go through the trouble of installing Gentoo and configure it to use s6 init. Just to get more granular control.

I like Tubular and/or Seal(a yt-dlp wrapper) on Android and don’t use a TV, but yeah, anything but the actual YouTube app is probably better.

Ublock Origin on Firefox With Sponsorblock is the answer.

Edit: Mispelling, fuck autocorrection

Maybe. Who knows how people will interpret this on an individual basis. Cowards will take it as a sign not to fuck with Trump. Pragmatists might do as you say, and avoid having anything to do with him. Narcissists will think they can do better than Musk and avoid his missteps. And Bullies will smile and say this is why they love and identify with Trump even more.

Its a nice thick Toxic Soup that the American people are being force fed.

If there isn’t a literal fire and brimstone Hell, we should make one for ICE personnel.

Perhaps the not actually AGI we create will be able to tell us how to solve the Climate Crisis we exacerbated by attempting to create AGI.

I am not calling for the deaths of all Tech Billionaires, but I wonder what I am calling for then.

The OP’s what if scenario is already well outside the realm of potential reality, might as well go hard into the imagination space.

Definitively? Like everyone agrees I won the argument and it causes anyone who witnessed it to rethink their stance on the topic and actually fucking change the way they think and behave? An occurrence so rare I’d might as well play the lottery?

If that were true… I guess I’d argue Donald Trump about addressing and curbing Climate Change…and second choice would be arguing Elon Musk on the merits of developing actual empathy.

Genie wishes…pipe dreams in a lamp, lol. Anyways, thanks for inducing a small indulgence in some fantasy.

From South Park: Episode 608: Red Hot Catholic Love

Priest Maxi: Uh-yes, uh, I’m afraid if things keep going the way they are, we could lose our entire religion.

Elderly priest: Yes, we’ve gotta stop these boys from goin’ to the public!

Fat priest: They’ve gotta know to keep their mouths shut!

Other priests: That’s right, yeah.

Priest Maxi: Right, and so… wa- wait a minute. What?

Priest: Yes, but we’ve got to find out why these children are suddenly finding it necessary to report that they’re being molested. Stop the problem at its source.

Priest 2: Yes, but how?

Priest 3: [amid discussion] Something has to be done.

Priest 4: We’ve got to stop this-

Priest Maxi: [rising] Whoa, whoa, hold on a second! The problem is that children are being molested, not that they’re reporting it! [all fall silent]

Elderly priest: How do you mean?

Priest Maxi: Well, I mean, obviously, what we need to put a stop to is all the sexual misconduct that is allowed to take place in our churches, and not just tell the children not to tell anybody about it. I mean, right?

Priest 1: Well did any of the children you’ve molested come forward?

Priest Maxi: No.

Priest 1: Well, that’s good.

Priest Maxi: No, I mean! I’ve never molested any of the children in my church!

Elderly priest: Hih-it’s okay, Father Maxi. We’re all priests here; the doors are closed.

Priest Maxi: Oh for the love of God! Are you all saying that you’ve engaged in inappropriate relations with your altar boys? We are here to bring the light of God, not harm the innocent! [the other priests look at him and laugh] I’m serious!

Priest 2: Father, uh, having sex with boys is part of the Catholic priest’s way of life.

I’ve been using Artix Linux for 5 years. Its great, minimal, and does everything I need for my day to day tasks.

If I were to ever change, it’d probably be because the devs could no longer maintain it. In which case I’d probably just hop to Gentoo.

Do whatever you can to take care of your mental health. That said, if you’re not depressed, you haven’t been paying attention.

I like to think the only way tos tay sane is taking some kind of action either to better yourself or your community. Hopefully if enough people do this unselfishly, the good actions of enough people change the world for the better. And even if it doesn’t, you can at least say you lived according to your own values.

But yeah, depression is kind of a given these days. Be as well as you can.

The implication is that inebriation is a positive attribute of alcoholic beverages.

And heck, I suppose if I were given two choices between a poison that causes pain during the entire poisoning process, and a poison that only causes pain towards the end…I’d take the latter.

FFS people! YES, YOU VOTED EXACTLY FOR THIS!!

Admit that this is what you voted for and just say you regret it, you were wrong, and then do whatever you can to salvage what little is left of your community.

Jesus Fucking Christ, I just can’t with these fucking people, it’s as if their intestines have started to excrete feces into their skulls.
