People are commenting ‘fates worse than death’ and ‘being made into a labrat by the 1%’, but really, if you have infinite time to just do stuff and you can’t be killed – And you don’t somehow squirrel your way into a position of power then what are you even doing with your time and immortality, oomfie?

The loneliness part is also questionable. I know OP said it’s overly done, but I also think it’s just wrong. If you’re an adult you’ve had people in your life die before. It sucks. You miss them. But then you move on. And you meet other people. You’ll still go “:(” when you think about the person and such… But life goes on.

And that’s just life. It doesn’t get any worse if you extend it longer – If anything it gets better. You might have lost your beloved today, but you have another dozen lifetimes to heal your wounds and meet someone else and fall in love again and (…)

So here’s some lower-stakes, frustrating inconveniences of being immortal:

• Your favourite fashion? It’s not just out of fashion. It’s so out of fashion it is now considered ‘historical costuming’. You can no longer find any articles like it at all. Because the only people even trying to recreate the techniques are costuming nerds and theater people who always exaggerate stuff
• You got a song stuck in your head. It is either from before recording was invented, or any recordings of it that existed are too old to be reliably listenable. You have a song stuck in your head.
• You used to really enjoy a job you did. That entire career path is now obsolete. As per the first paragraph of my post, if you’re immortal you have probably snuck your way into the upper echelons of society at some point during your infinite time… But like. You’re bored. You loved being a Court Jester, now there are no Court Jesters.
• Actually tedium just in general. Sooner or later you’ll run out of new things to try, because you’ll have done everything that even remotely caught your eye already. So what the fuck will you do with your time? You’ll eventually just get depressed and not do anything.

There’s a book I heard about where the main character is immortal. Nevertheless at one point he pisses off some mafia dudes, and they nail him inside a barrel full of urine and throw him in the sea.

Or push it to a file, just in general. That way if something goes tits up you can still check it later.

Which distro

Kardecist Spiritsm

It’s popular in Brazil for some reason.

If my mother’s weird religion is to be believed (it’s not), we chose the earth out of a list of planets. And we’ll get to choose again when we die.

Also Jesus is an alien now. Doing Jesus things in the Andromeda galaxy or some shit.

I once sent a whole thing meant for a pony RP to a buyer on OLX

It wasn’t anything improper, just nerdy as hell as it was the character philosophizing about the history of the fantasy horse kingdom he lived in.

Do you do AI stuff?

I’ve heard NVidia is better for AI

For gaming, you’ll probably not notice a difference. If anything, you’ll be happy due to not having to wrestle NVidia Linux Drivers :P

I think you might have the latest. The flatpak version that is currently on my machine is 1.1.1397 – But the source I just grabbed and didn’t build is more recent.

EDIT: The flathub build is still up – For now. I pulled the latest update from there. It was 1.1.1403

In the meantime, anyone got a backup of the sourcecode & the binaries for win/linux?

When it was clear Yuzu was on its way out, I took out a backup and saved it in my personal server to share around with friends who asked, but Ryujinx disappeared without an announcement, so I didn’t get a chance to do that.

EDIT: Managed to find a backup of the source from just a few hours ago and save it to my own server. Guess I’ll have to compile it on my own if I want to share binaries with people who ask :P

• Paramour

It sounds fancy, but means a casual lover. A fuck buddy. A friend with benefits. Though it can also carry the implication of being an out-of-wedlock lover, as it dates back to a time where having a fuck buddy was almost certainly a sign of married infidelity.

• Kith

Means one’s friends and other people they are close to that aren’t family. Often paired with “kin”. Kith and kin. Friends and family.

SuSE Slowroll. Not rolling release. Also not super-conservative like Debian is.

minor spelling mistake

I think climate denial will look pretty funny in hindsight after agriculture has broadly collapsed leading to mass famines, and a bunch of coastal cities are several meters under toxified saltwater.

Like, that thing I just described is the optimistic scenario, where humanity/society survives despite things turning way shittier. It could be much worse.

Counterpoint: A lot of things that are aggressively “of their time” end up as iconic period pieces after some twenty years.

I am fully aware

I fear every person from any of those cultures. Those who sleep on hard surfaces are not to be trifled with, for they are stronger than all of us.

Pots, pans, and knowledge of cooking.

Oh, and enough garlic to fucking nuke Transylvania.

See memory foam is cool and all

But my point is that even the simplest pillow consisting of a linen sack with some animal nonsense inside it is still an exponential improvement over not that, or worse, those wooden head-supports that they still use in some eastern cultures.

Also: People use way too few pillows. I use five for the average night.

I’m biased, I just sorta… Like all animals. All of them. So this reply is just my mood for today:

Mammal: Raccoon. The grabby hands, the masks, they’re just cool little guys

Bird: Crows. Clever and playful caw caw boys. Capable of incredible feats of animal intelligence.

Reptile: Tegu. The cats of the lizard world.

Amphibian: Poison dart frogs. Danger bois. Don’t touch. But they look so cool.

Fish: fish are not valid

Crustacean: Coconut crabs! They are big and cool.

Insect: Ants. Eusocial insects are really cool.

Mollusk: those really big snails that look like slime bunnies

Worm: Leeches. They’re cool to look at.

Arachnid: Jumping spider. They are smols.

You got any idea how easy it is for those with power to convince a few thousand suckers to defend their evil interests, WHILE genuinely believing they’re doing the right thing? That’s like 90% of content on social media.
