2024 will finally be the year of TempleOS on the desktop
That’s… incredible. If people who write code like that can get programming jobs, maybe I shouldn’t be quite so worried about my own skills.
Ooh, what’s the code?
When I’m commenting on a post I tend to use very high-register vocabulary, to the point of sounding archaic or academic. I think it’s primarily a hold-over from writing essays in school, but it doesn’t hurt that the places on the Internet where I hang out tend to be extremely nerdy.
I also frequently leave my sentences unfinished when talking IRL. I’ll just sort of trail off once I can see that I’ve gotten my point across instead of bothering with a complete sentence.
Computers are an endless source of these. Someone else already mentioned daemons and killing orphans; I submit “I only ever ssh into that box, so I keep it headless.” (“I only ever access that computer via the terminal, so I don’t install any software that uses graphics.”)
Conlanging (constructing languages) inherits all the jargon of linguistics, and then adds a bunch of slang on top for good measure. “I was worried that glomming tense markers to subjects in my analytic clong was unnaturalistic, but it turns out ANADEW” is the kind of thing I might say in a casual conversation with another conlanger.
Wow, a solution? I would’ve been satisfied with a colloid, or even a suspension
W-shaped pupils likely also help cuttlefish see color and polarization of light, despite not having any cone cells in their retinas!

What’s not to like? Sechyal rslytsre is a perfectly respectable name.
Coupling is my favorite. It’s like docking for machines
When I first heard Money Machine by 100 gecs I thought that the intro was funny, but the song was ultimately unlistenable. I’m now a die-hard hyperpop fan.
Wow, your guide may have just made my decision for me. Thank you so much for all the info, it’s incredibly helpful for a novice like myself!
Huh, I was under the impression that Nobara was more of a change. Good to know! Steam support is definitely a plus too.
Thanks for all the info! My only experience so far has been with Ubuntu, so I’m cautiously branching out. Experimenting with WMs is definitely something I’m going to do later; I don’t think I’m quite there yet :P
Note to self: avoid Wayland
I was considering trying out Hyprland as a first foray into tiling WMs, since it seemed relatively GUI-friendly, but I guess I’ll just go with i3
Cache poisoning
Firefox wasn’t around during the time of the ancient greeks, silly. They used Netscape Navigator
Huh, TIL about big theta
Now do a real Italian man with Mario eyes
