It took me awhile to find the info. I looked through their documentation pages hoping they would give me a clue, nada. I googled it and had to reword it 3x and then go through a couple articles. Would have been nice if they’d just put it on the about page.

Serpent OS is an independent distribution written from scratch by Ikey Doherty, which means that it’s not based on an existing GNU/Linux distribution.

From this 9to5Linux article.

Instead of Debian, why not tinyCore?

Eh, don’t let it get to you buddy, things will either get better, orrrrr… we’ll all be dead and it won’t matter anyway.
Not saying: don’t be aware, don’t try for a better more just and fair tomorrow.
Just… don’t let the machine grind you down. Anxiety, desperation and despair make people compliant. Be happy and keep fighting for whatever you want for tomorrow. 🍻

🍻 no worries bud, they can keep spazzing out, and I’ll keep trying for liberation of the workers and calling fascists fascists. Hope you have a better day than BraindeadInABox, they seem like they’re coasting on towards an aneurysm 👍

Right? I figured I’d just let them keep winding themselves up. Never even said I was pro-Biden. Honestly, imho, he’s not great, didn’t do much I liked during his tenure and a bunch I didn’t. The stuff he did before was mostly anti-labour which I very much disagree with. BraindeadInABox is frothing at the mouth so hard that they should probably be checked for rabies. The Sartre quote was delectable in it’s blind use as some kinda gotcha. The bozo’s reping a fucking Cheeto, who’s a known rapist, insurrectionist(not even in the respectable way,) and undoubted racist, and if he believes in anything at all further than his own personal power and wealth… he’s certainly an anti-Semite. It’s been interesting watching the masks come off these tankies. Marxist-Leninists my fucking foot. They’re rabid fascist neckbeards, simping over Putin, Xi, and now Herr Trumpf.
Which is a bit sad, they were so close to actually getting it.

Anyway, fully expecting this post to be removed. Probably too close to the truth for these soft bootlicking snowflakes.

One, I’m Canadian, two I’m firmly left, well past “liberal”. Two, you’re not really worth talking to. Have fun screaming into the void buddy.

Edit: heh, I’m just going to leave the poorly numberedness.

Righto 👍

Cease fire was negotiated and secured by the Biden administration. Try again.

Edit: or am I misunderstanding what you’re saying?

Not me, but a good friend of mine. He has a film production/editing side hustle. He was doing a promotional video for a night club, high end place …like if you’re not a good looking girl, if you’re inside you’re somebody or know somebody and they’ve got you in. So the owner of the establishment had hired a guy with a semi decent reputation to do all the filming and stills of the club while open and when it’s closed to hire out for events. So buddy’s going through footage with the camera guy and the owner, flicking through, everything looks good, then a bunch of stills and videos of actual porn. Not like amateur shit, like a full set, lights, crew, the lot. Buddy just skips through, apparently it’s not all that uncommon. After they’ve got through the footage, the owner says to the camera guy:
Thanks, I think we have enough to put something together. I’ll call if {buddy} needs more to work with.

So camera guy is away, and owner turns to buddy and says:
Did you fucking see that?!

Buddy explains it’s not that uncommon to find sex pics and video on the same drive as professional shots.

Owner replied:
THAT’S MY FUCKING CLUB! AS A FUCKING PORN SET!!

Probably feels like that in the States right now, but it’s really a case of voter apathy and a vocal minority. In all politics, but especially in the States, the people who yell the loudest and longest hit the public awareness the most. And sadly, the more deranged and unlikely the things the nutjobs say the more it seems to strike a chord with people who are feeling disenfranchised by the government.

For some of the last really stubborn pieces of software that kept me locked it to at least dual booting windows, I’ve found running them in bottles is working really well. Bottles has a community preset for Fruity loops Studio, but it wasn’t really working. Oh it would run, but with massive input and audio lag, most VSTs just wouldn’t work with FL in that install. What does work, is creating a bottle for gaming, and then just installing everything through the “run exe” at the bottle prefix page. After 8 years of dual booting, I finally nuked my windows installs.

…damn you…this is also true.

I have issues with pessimism and negative thoughts…loops? Definitely doesn’t solve it, but I find when I’m starting to find myself getting really negative I try to stop and think of one moderately good thing about what I’m stuck thinking negatively about.

The only thing I can think is that OP is considering getting everything cut off/out and not taking hormone replacements, but is concerned that no longer having “normal” levels of hormones for either gender might negatively affect their crippling addiction to RomComs and RomCom accessories.

…sunovabetch…I literally just facepalmed. Feel dumb for not having even considered looking into if I could do that. Well…guess papa has a weekend project…

This would be me, except the wife says it’s “wasting energy.” And rather than argue with her I’ve decided that in an effort for the dream of “happy wife, happy life” I’ll just deal with sub 1min boot time

Ehhhh…I guess? I’m still a smoker, so maybe that says something about the addictiveness of nicotine…

Didn’t really have a choice. I had started to attract the attention of the law, and I could see myself spiraling out. Didn’t want that, I’m too soft for a life of crime. So… shear force of will? Stubbornness?
