I originally used linux because I could only get my hands on ancient or broken tech.

Then I switched to Windows again because I was able to buy a modern laptop and started university which more or less required Microsoft services.

Two years ago I started using Linux on my dual booted machines more frequently. Last year I realized I mostly didn’t need Windows so I decided to find a daily driver distro.

I forgot how easy it is to get caught up in distro hopping lol. I started with Debian because I remembered apps with Linux support typically only provide .deb packages.

Then the new KDE came out and I couldn’t wait to use it so I moved to fedora. Then, in looking into visual aesthetics, I decided I wanted to give hyprland a try and honestly just try Arch and make everything my own.

That was a mistake. Too many options to the point I was only using my computer for messing with the visuals.

I moved to fedora because it would just work, used it for a semester, and then moved back to arch (w/ xfce) and have been using it ever since.

I’d say around the switch from Arch to Fedora was when I became a Linux nerd because I realized that there isn’t really a best distro for every circumstance. My nerdiness has reached enlightenment lol

If you didn’t want me to bite it why did you bring it to my domain?

No no no

Snack the keeps, booze the purge

That’s what they meant

Free Media Heck Yeah. They lost their ml domains but do still have their main site FMHY.net which you should definitely avoid if you don’t want to accidentally pirate anything…

I’ve had to migrate from two instances getting shut down: fmhy.ml and lemm.ee.

Now it looks like I’m a new account but I swear I’ve been on lemmy for at least two years now lol

First time using the internet was probably playing poptropica with my siblings.

First time really using the internet was trying to get the ancient windows XP computer in our basement to be less slow and connect to the internet secretly. Ended up going down rabbit holes leading me to learn to write simple viruses, learn what Linux was, and learn to hop on tor for anonymous chat rooms with random strangers across the world.

Sure I was super afraid of viruses and pedos, but it was a nice escape from the small religious town I was being raised in at the time. It was nice being able to talk about philosophy and my own opinions without an adult hitting me for “defying god” or saying “homeopathic medicine is pseudoscience” etc.

It’s kind of odd how nostalgic I am for basic html websites and old looking IRC clients. I’m pretty young for someone who misses “the old internet” but that was the only kind of internet interaction I could really access (without parental supervision) for a long time.

I like vocaloid music, but many of the songs are in Japanese which I don’t speak

Feel like the steps typically go the other way

1. Firefox
2. Linux
3. Blåhaj

Technically, yes, you are correct because I don’t inhale at all lol

I have bad lungs, so I’ve only had edibles and shit like that. The first one I tried was 15mg…? I know one of my stoner friends only took a half because a full one was “too much for right now” idk what that means since we basically just sat around and watched movies.

Tbf, that time I think it might have made me slightly more likely to laugh at stupid shit, but it was also the first time I’d been with my old friends in a while, so maybe I was just in a more relaxed mood already. Didn’t really feel any other affects.

All other times have been unremarkable. Also I really am not a fan of being able to faintly smell/taste THC for days afterwards.

Idk if I’ve completely missed the joke here, but seriously this is me with alcohol and weed and even stimulants.

The only affect I get from alcohol is a headache or slight dizziness if I drink a significant amount. THC doesn’t seem to do anything at all, and stimulants typically just make me sleepy or anxious or nothing at all (I’m ADHD)
