Bolognese and chilli are awesome. They usually taste better the next day since the sauce had time to soak in all the flavours from the spices we use.

Soups are also really good and full of flavour. Our current favourite is a coconut milk rice noodle soup with lemongrass and curry paste in it. Tastes really fresh, a little spicy, and the rice noodles add a nice consistency to the meal. Top it off with some fried, marinated tofu and you’re golden

It’s sad that people have gotten used to just throwing away stuff instead of repairing it. Sure, some repairs really aren’t worth it - like the screen I’d gotten replaced of my LG G3 that was prone to have this defect with its screen regardless of screen swaps and whatnot - but most of the time, it’s just minor things that can actually be fixed by non-tech savvy person.

I think it should be of paramount importance that more companies are held accountable as to the amount of waste they’re producing and how much they’re contributing to pollution and waste around the globe. Unfortunately, capitalism is a thing, so that’s not gonna happen.

Having repairable options for those that do care is awesome, though. If I could afford, I’d gladly go for a Fairphone if I ever need to replace my current phone (still going strong after 5 years of use). Until their mass appeal, they’ll likely remain out of my pockets.

Amazing, thank you. I have uninstalled this bs twice now and have so far been spared by another force install. I hope this works

Nothing I could find immediately. I found an Arch Wiki entry which shows that most features work out of the box. Not sure if that’s your exact model and can’t comment on how reliable the information presented is too.

It’s a Surface Go 2, 8GB RAM, I think - maybe 4 - and a couple years old now. Haven’t tried, actually, since I rarely if ever need the cameras. However, I read that getting the cameras to work is a bit of a hassle. Not impossible but annoying

Finally, I can proudly proclaim that I’m no longer bound Microsoft’s bullshit. Been a rocky start, but I’ve been happily using Kubuntu on my Surface for a while now, and it’s going awesome

Dude, this is so me. I desperately yearn for a four-day work week. 2 days off isn’t enough.

Fridays are only half a day off, essentially. On Saturdays, I get to sleep in sorta but have to go grocery shopping, cooking food, maybe meeting friends if I feel like it. Sundays I vacuum the flat, load the dishwasher or washing machine, go to the gym, leaving me basically with a couple hours to myself at most.

But hey, I got to play a little Lies of P yesterday and smoke some weed which was cool. A welcome change from the usual

Thanks for your input. Maybe things have changed for the better? I doubt a github page with a detailed wiki and guide on how to setup the device for Linux would exist if the performance were as bad as you describe it. Then again, maybe there is a big difference between Go 1 and 2. I’ll give it a go and see if it works

According to the github page I’ve linked to, I shouldn’t need to install linux-kernel. Which Surface were you trying to install Linux onto? Thanks for the help :)

Hell yea

For sure! Just putting it out there, that’s all

Not to be that guy, but be the change you want to see in the world.

I’ve had some troubles getting soulslikes communities going on here and have gone from three separate communities at most cracking around 100 monthly users, I think, to more than a 1000. It takes some time and effort, but you’ll get there if you’re consistent and passionate about it. Plus there might already be existing communities that you can build off of.

Just some unsolicited “advice”, I guess

I’ve got bad news, buddy

First off, it’s ok to be in this mental state - it’s nothing to be ashamed of or angry at, as uncomfortable as it is. Because ultimately, thinking about each and everyone’s “purpose” is is not a bad thing per se. It’s what helped me branch out and starting an apprenticeship in something I wasn’t sure I’d be fit for after stumbling around in university and not knowing what to do with my life.

That said, I think life is about creating heaven on earth as far and much as possible. All your good deeds don’t go unnoticed and don’t go away if you die. It’s about making something meaningful and special, be it to you or to others.

Who cares if there even is an afterlife. You can just exist in the here and now and make the best of it. Granted, a lot of things are going south right now, but it’s the thought that counts.

Re-unite with family with whom you’ve not been in touch for a while, meet new friends, experience new things, be a good friend. All of these things generate value either for you or for others and these are the things that count in the long term.

But also don’t feel bad if you don’t live up to your expectations every single day. It’s ok to take time off, to focus on yourself and not sacrifice your well-being for others all the time.

Not sure if any of this helps, but it’s what’s helping/helped me and these were my thoughts in regards to this subject. Lots of love - get better soon 💜

There’s an untold story here

I used to hate Sundays the most out of all. Not because work is starting again but mostly because you can’t really do anything on Sundays: can’t go shopping, can’t go to the city for random activities. Sunday has the potential to be as good as Saturday but only if I actually have something to do. It’s gotten better recently, tho

I remember stealing small toys from dentists and pediatricians when I was little. Like, you were allowed to pick one toy after the appointment and I took two or something?

Unfortunately, I’ve also stolen from friends of mine. I was around 7 or 8 and wanted a Tamagotchi real bad but couldn’t afford one because I didn’t have/get any allowance and my parents couldn’t just buy me one since we were tight on money growing up. Ff to us visiting friends and I notice 15€ on my friend’s night desk which I just stashed.

Same day, I go to my mother, all proud, and proclaim “Look, I only need another 5€ to get a Tamagotchi!” When she asked where I’d gotten the money from, I confessed, realised what I did was stupid, and apologised to his mother over the phone. I remember crying real bad and promising I’d never do something like that ever again; she was really cool about it and wasn’t angry at all which was nice. Felt awful regardless.

I did end up getting a Tamagotchi for my birthday so yay?

You fuck

Some controversies don’t even affect them all too much when looking at movies like love-action Mulan. The general public just doesn’t know of these things
