I guess?

I’m all for voting reform, promoting easy access to voting for everyone, breaking the grip of the 2 party system, and dismantling junk like the electoral college.

But we’re a little more than 2 months from a major election. It’s unlikely that these ideas are going to be picked up and championed as campaign promise. So it makes me wonder why they’re being parroted now. I suspect it’s to highlight that our system isn’t always great and discourage people from voting.

They’re not saying “my vote doesn’t matter”, but that’s kind of the vibe it gives off, while suggesting an unrealistic, idealistic solution. 🤷‍♂️

I’m one that finds the GNU/Linux naming annoying. I think calling it that is mostly silly, and am mostly annoyed at people who militantly argue it’s the only way to describe a Linux OS (which aren’t as common as they used to be).

To me, it’s just overly verbose and pointless. For the most part, the GNU part has been implied for pretty much any mainstream form of Linux for decades. And even if it wasn’t, who cares? Like, you wouldn’t say that you run KDE/X11/wpasupplicant/neovim/docker/pacman/paru/systemd/GNU/Linux… Just saying KDE on Arch Linux is simpler and far more informative.

I think it makes more sense to read that it’s a “Windows Subsystem for (running) Linux (applications/programs)”.

Our butter stick wrappers have volume measurements on them. I’ve never melted butter to measure it.

He often presents populist ideas, even when they aren’t in line with his normal rhetoric.

I think he does it to grab attention or appeal to people with that idea. He then spews a ton of well-polished half-truths and straight lies to make whatever point he was after in the first place.

It’s not uncommon for anyone to agree with a sentence or two from him out of context, but in context, it’s all garbage.

I know everyone is different, but I’ve been sleeping better while Vyvanse is still in my system. I have a much harder time getting to sleep super late or trying to get back to sleep after getting woken up.

The interface on the Miyoo Mini (with OnionOS) is a lot smoother and more streamlined than anything with Android. I definitely like how easily you can switch between all your recently played games so quickly, regardless of system.

Android devices tend to be a bit more flexible/powerful with more emulator options, but the interface isn’t as complete and more tweaking is needed. It’s not perfect, but I’m enjoying Diajisho.

It seems pretty common to use a different Google account on your device than your main one. I only use it to access the Play store, then I disable all Google services until I need it again.

But there’s really no right or wrong approach here, as long as you’re playing games and enjoying it.

Retroid makes some good stuff too.

I have a bunch of devices. Steam Deck, Miyoo Mini, Retroid Pocket 3+, Analogue Pocket, modded 3DS, and various modded Gameboys.

For most retro games, I find myself reaching for the RP3+ the most. Don’t get me wrong, all the other devices are great too, but it’s a great size and works without fuss up through PSP.

And for value/$, it’s hard to go wrong with any of the trending emulation devices, be it from Anbernic, Miyoo, or Retroid.

I like to send the HTML, CSS, and JS to my laser printer personally.
