On the contrary, I think the protest would escalate

This exact thing just happened to me. It wasn’t just me, it was the whole team.

I’ll see how it goes

Steven Segal?

Just wish I never did this when my wife spoke, thankfully she will repeat her self

If I despute if you are a human, instead of s bot, then isn’t my despute a bit of a stretch?

Saying Ukraine is disputed territory is a bit of a stretch, it’s just imperial ambitions by Putin. Ukraine is older than the USSR and Russia.

Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons to get security guarantees from Russia.

Why don’t we let them split them selves? They already did it once before

With patience, something ADHDers have in a abundance for the weirdest thing at the wrong time

He tried, but he colflated a person on the leaderboard of a video game with a likeable personality

(No offense to likeable people on leaderboards)

Its funny to me how both sides are equally bad to you, when one side is working to literally establish a fascist dictatorship, while the other side is trying to give people health care

Stepping stone

That’s what you get with a two party system, you will always have to pick between the lesser if two evils, and right now the greater of the two evils is salivating at the thought of turning US into north korea.

Better vote Democrat, and protest genocide, than to not go out and vote, because the other side is also approving genocide

As for NATO membership in particular, all NATO members need to accept new members…

But the EU has a similar clause to help with military invasions, so the US support isn’t strictly needed for security.

Oh cool!

Seeing your affinity for nix, I’d go with nixos, either it is on the raspberry or a laptop, and then boot into sway, then have it open the terminal on boot, kitty, or another similar terminal.

Id probably hyper focus on making the perfect nixos config, I’m unsure if I would want to have it part of my main flake or a separate flake

Did you make that TUI? Why? What does the TUI do? I’ve written TUIs using that framework before (assuming it is dialog) and the file browser I don’t like, so I always end up making my own file pickers for it.

What I would do if I needed a typewriter like device, to not be detracted by, pooh shiny thing.

I would want a bigger screen, the pi400 looks like a great choice, I agree that a mechanical keyboard would be better but what is more important, having everything in one unit, or having better parts?

What about just using an older laptop, if you have one. Install Linux, any flavor, I see you are comfortable with raspbian, so Debian, Ubuntu, mint etc should make you feel right at home. Most any other option is also fine, like fedora, or arch Linux if you want a little bit torture, or nixos if you want more pleasure and torture.

Any hardware you ended up with, any distro you ended up with. Just delete all apps that are not for your one specific need. Including the web browser!

Any desktop environment should be okay, as long as you remove all apps not for let’s say writing and file management. Optionally switch to a window manager, like i3wm, sway, or hyprland (hyprland is the first thing I’ve recommended thus far I haven’t used extensively), to make it feel more like a focused machine!

Optionally, if your text editor is terminal based (like mine, I use vim or neovim), if it helps you focus even more, just disable the display manager (the login program) so you log right into the tty. The main drawback over using a window manager like sway and a nice terminal emulator like kitty or Ghostty, is that you can’t view images or all nice effects in let’s say neovim. But this might be a plus in the end. If you don’t need emojis.

A bonus tip! If you continue with your setup like you do right now, or if you chose a window manager, or just straight tty. Use udisks / udiskie to auto mount USB drives, similar to how KDE or gnome does it.

Also for file manager i now use yazi, it’s in the terminal, will work in tty or a terminal in a desktop or window manager. There are just a couple of things I miss from my old file manager I used before called ranger, but yazi is much faster and light weight.

Also maybe use ssh to copy over your files? If you want to have network access, maybe network access is a bad idea

Wife has started to expect oversharing, she corrects me when it’s just us two, and then I am not sharing enough. When going into social situations, she reminds me of thinking about what is okay to share before I share.

I need to fidget when I have to sit and listen to things. It can seam like I don’t care about the topic, but if I am using all my focus on not fidgeting I sometimes can’t focus on what the other person is saying.

Don’t get into keyboards, I have multiple keyboards, most expensive one I spent $300 to build, the one I am using now is $150, and I have a few others in that price range, and one that is half built

I almost picked up a $60 keyboard impulse buy for my wife today. Then I thought that she is using the $300 one, but she wishes the key caps were pink, maybe $60 is reasonable just for the key caps? No stop it

Similar things like fighting sticks, I don’t want to talk about it

For paid hobbies, 3d printing isn’t that awful, as long as you learn 3d modeling while your at it. It’s a bit of a cost, after that the consumables isn’t horrible, and I can leave it for a while and come back a few times per year, and it can mix with other hobbies.

I enjoy programming! It’s free, and I can hyper focus on a programming project, and if I move on I can move on to another programming project.

I usually try to get at least a few YouTube videos in before going to bed after programming. Because if I hyper focus on programming and then go to bed, I will wake up in the middle of the night with a solution to a problem I had. While that is great fun, I have enough issues getting enough sleep as it is, don’t need to wake up at 3AM and having to get over to the computer to write down an algorithm or something, then test it, then post about it online because I am so happy and proud and can’t get back to sleep

My brother will get into expensive stuff, and then he can’t finish what he starts, and his hp proliant server is still collecting dust in his spare bedroom.

My father would have projects that he needed to take up additional mortgages for, like buying a fish selling truck (why not ice cream ffs), or a boat, or shit. Or buying farming equipment even though he has a lawn sized lawn and not a field sized lawn, or a boat or shit.

It is both, until you observe it, only then does the wave function collapse
