PSA: Now is a good time to make sure you've got a box fan and furnace filter if you live somewhere where smoke season has become a regular occurrence like the #PNWExposure to wildfire smoke can cause cancer and cardiovascular problems like heart attack and strokeDespite looking janky, these things are highly effective due to having an extremely large area through which air can pass. They're also cheap and abundant. I can confirm MERV 12 works with my particulate meter#Seattle

Good article from my man Jeremiah Johnson about MAGA online influencersThis is the core of Trumpism. A strongman rose in America and told weak men that they had been cheated. And they believed him.https://thedispatch.com/article/weak-men-twitter-mob-trump-maga-elon/?utm_campaign=95087435-9260-42a1-80ca-7688593fb255&utm_source=S1t2U-3v4W5-x6Y7z-8A9B0#USPol

Feels like everything I care about or enjoy is facing popular backlash right now. We're probably months away from Super Mario 64 and cats being declared national security threats

#Linux hot take. "Customizability" is a footgun and people should stop advertising it as a feature. I've seen new usersInstall KDE on Mint CinnamonFill their bashrc with aliases that make no senseInstall a dozen vim packages that replace built-in features with worse versions of those featuresIf you're frustrated using FOSS, your first thought should be "am I using it wrong?" not "how do I fix it?". You can't differentiate between "different" and "bad" without experience

One of the things that makes #Linux great is that it's something you can get good at. There's a paradigm and if you learn it, those skills are transferable between distros and decadesIt's not like Windows where settings mosey between 4 different versions of the control panel. The tools you add to your toolbox will be useful in the futureIf your first step is to create a frankensystem then you're probably just making it worse and you're certainly making it impossible to debug

Noise cancelling headphones have to be one of the most underrated inventions of my lifetime. Being able to listen to music at a volume lower than the ambient noise around me has probably delayed my inevitable deafness by a decade

If you mash the audio example buttons on the wikipedia page for the IPA vowel sounds you can create a choir of mildly disgusted men

This is how I spent my Friday evening alongside calculating how close you could get to the center of a black hole without dying or getting sucked inWhat makes that interesting is smaller black holes produce gamma radiation so you have to balance shrinking the point of no return with radiation poisoningBy my estimate a black hole with a mass in kilograms between 1E14 and 1E15 (mid sized asteroid) are the sweet spot where you could get within 50ish meters if you don't mind a tiny bit of cancer

To take something not serious seriously for a moment, what's your personal criteria for saying "the year of the #Linux desktop" has happened? Some percent of marketshare? Support for competitive online games? A native Adobe Suite build?
