When the law no longer pretends to serve the people, it loses a big part of it’s social power.

Many people in power today don’t seem to really understand the nature of power.

That was a surprisingly good sequel.

A woman once told me she worked in a club and when one of the regulars passed away, a bunch of them went to his funeral.

There’s certainly worse legacies one could leave, than having spread some wealth around while presumably having been respectful enough to be missed.

There’s a delightful DC Comics Elseworlds story that amounts to this. It was fun.

A third person is about to show up and express mild interest, then they will wander off for a drink, but then return and ask to have the rules explanation start over…

I dont have time to build and maintain a curated offline library like I used to.

I’m sorry for your loss. I’m sure the high seas legitimate DRM free music purchases will welcome you back when you have time again.

I tolerate continued existence out of a morbid sense of curiosity.

That’s beautiful, in it’s own way.

I felt that way at one point. It led me, eventually, to moments that I later decided mattered very much, to me.

If I hadn’t had that morbid curiosity, I’m not sure I would have made it to those moments I now cherish.

Here’s to morbid curiosity!

Hmm. That matches my recent napkin math guessing where they would land.

It’s a little short of what they probably need, but they can always raise prices in a few months.

Oh. Thanks.

So France is now openly pro-tifa. What’s that short for again? Oh. Right. Fascist.

Holy shit. I’m glad I don’t need anything in France.

You might try Wayfinder.

It feels like classic World of Warcraft without the grinding for levels or loot.

Yes. I assume it is the brains way of preventing wetting the bed when needing to pee while too tired to awaken.

But the dream where all our teeth fall out - I assume that is our brain trying reconcile how we only get two sets - which is some bullshit.

What’s up with the Rust hate?

The Rust community keeps trying to rewrite key pieces of Linux that aren’t broken.

They probably have the right idea, in the long run, but it’s still fun to give them a hard time about it.

Simon’s Puzzles is what i use when I’m trying to reduce my own doom scrolling.

Luanti (a very nice free Minecraft clone) is also great for a few minutes (…or hours) here and there.

Edit:

What the hey, here’s a few more!

Burger Party - Like that pizza game, but burgers

Breakout 71 - Breakout as a Rogue-lite

Endless Sky - Space Trader Simulator

Gridle (Crosswords-Like Wordle)

Gurgle (Wordle)

Mindustry - Mobile Factorio-like

Pixel Dungeon - Rogue revisited and constantly updated

Roboyard - Slide robots to their goals

Super Tux Kart

I don’t recall the doctor being green, though?

Thank you for your service.

And my axe!

Where do you get once every 2 years? Do you never reboot your machine?

I’m hearing you like to reboot your machine unusually often.

The reason I can think of where clicking would be a huge pain in the ass is an automatic task. I have some of those, but I put them on machines that I treat as servers, and the time between reboots is genuinely counted in years, for those machines.

At this point you must be missing the point on purpose.

I wasn’t before, but now I am.

I find your argument distasteful. If you want a server, use a server. But there’s no need to shout to the world that servers require command line use. That’s normal in 2025.

If you treat your laptop like a server, that’s okay. No one is judging. But my grandma isn’t doing that, and it rings hollow to complain so loudly about it in a thread about average users enjoying Linux Mint.

An average user will never even notice the issue you have been complaining about, while enjoying the product for free.

I don’t normally tell people to go open a pull request, but you should do so, if only to get a better understanding of what the community has already given you for free.

Yes. I guess that’s fair though. Most people don’t like change.
