#operating system version

[soup-mother]

i do wish people would offer more coherent reasons for people to switch to Linux other than "Hurr durr AI scary bad" or some vague security thing that isn't relevant to 90% of people who use a computer.

"Windows is literally malware" it is a kind of to moderately invasive operating system that you don't like. incidentally it's also what the vast majority of people use!

have you maybe considered more grounded approaches like "if your pc is below windows 11 specs try Linux instead of throwing it out!" or "linux is fun!" or "lots of things run on linux so getting familiar with it can be useful" or "it can really speed up an old computer"

anyway shout-out to every time a Tumblr panic campaign "windows is EVIL and is going to steal ALL your data you need to delete it RIGHT NOW because AI and MALWARE" post goes around and then nothing happens except windows gets a little more invasive in a way that people don't really care about or notice

As chosen by my beloved followers: ChellDOS

GLaDOS decides to get more personally involved in the testing. For purely rational Science Reasons. And maybe some security reasons. And no other reasons whatsoever. None. At all.

Chell is intrigued. And also deeply concerned. But mostly intrigued.

Like what I do? Consider supporting me in doing more of it via my ko-fi or patreon!

I DIDNT KNOW YOU PLAYED WARFRAME OMFG

Dfgjkl hi yes I've been. Playing. A lot. Lately. 8);;

But I started uh around the time Sevagoth came out, Holly @'d me bc jesus fucking christ Sevagoth was made in a lab for me. Then that summer I hit a big depressive down and lost interest in Every Game I Was Fucking Playing (rip my Yakuza 0 playthrough), but in the past month several friends have been getting into it! So I've had more people to play with and more drive to work on grinds and quests. :) recently finished The New War and trying to finish my side and frame quests before continuing story but I also keep getting distracted by like mod or relic grinds.

Anyways I farmed my own necramech jesus fucking christ I normally enjoy mining but I still spent hours and had to use a mid tier laser so I could actually get the right minerals

FINALLY DONE WITH THE ISAT OC! SOLEIL!!!

The creature... So first things first is some info about them pre- disappearance of The Country. They're a loyal follower and avid worshipper of The Country. They love the Universe sooo much that they made a wish to be able to read the stars, and the Universe answered. I like to think that the stars are talkative, some can predict what will happen in the near future, some are just "chatting" to each other about the stuff happening in the world they overlook. It's a somewhat useful ability that Soleil used to use to be able to either predict someone's future (rarely though, the stars hold many different futures and it's hard to figure out which is whose) or use it during funeral rites to have a more reassuring experience to the ones mourning that their loved one arrived safely among the stars.

And then they found out about The Cursing of Chateau Castle-- they kiiiinda got Really obsessed with the book series that they wanted to know more about it but there wasn't any more copies of it in the Country's language so what better way to deal with that but teaching itself how to understand the Vaugardian language, and by doing that they got to learn more about the Vaugardian culture and was really amazed by it (considering that they spent most of their life with the Country's culture instead, learning about a different culture is a great feeling). One thing led to the other and it also led Soleil to travelling to Vaugarde (something that their family wasn't all that happy with but they stay silly).

And so we're back at the present time! Now to talk about some details on its appearance.

Its Craft type is Scissors! The eye on the center of its chest and the eye by its nape are in fact EYES and not just accessories (although they did try to make the eye on its chest appear to be like a mix between a star shape and the Change Symbol).

After spending some time in Vaugarde, they learned about Body Craft in which case they decided to experiment with it in regards to its eyes.

Since being in Vaugarde, there wasn't much use to its star sight and there also isn't a way to "turn it off." So instead, they decided to separate its Normal sight from the Star sight by adding another pair of eyes on its body.

The eyes on its face are blind. They can't see through it anymore but they Can still see the stars (they can't read it anymore however cuz of the Country's disappearance).

If they focus on the stars using those eyes, they'd get a REALLY bad headache and a star sign appears on its eyes. Nothing to be afraid of probably, its head just Really hurts.

The glass covering the eye on its nape is a one way mirror. You won't be able to see the eye but the eye can still see you.

With its vision split, it actually took them awhile to get used to that. It takes a lot of concentration and focus to see both from behind and from the front. When Soleil gets tired from doing that, they either close the eye on its nape (if the place is safe enough) or unfocus it enough to the point that most of its vision becomes blurry with only being able to see blobs of shapes and shadows which helps them be alert enough in case something comes running at them from behind.

All the round objects you see on its body are Bombs. They found out about Bomb Craft in Jouvente and was so fascinated by it that their inventor brain (inventing, crafting, and repairing stuff is a special interest of theirs). They now like making bombs and inventing new ones (only they have the recipe of those).

The bombs they invented only detonates via a Craft spell, it's basically as safe as an ordinary ball to handle unless detonated. Also the scissors at the top of their head has a cover on its tip. It's Very Sharp. They mainly use that (either the tip or the scissor blades itself) to cut the bombs dangling on its body.

Despite the multitude of bombs they carry, they aren't actually much of a fighter (they just like bombs). Most of its Craft spells are basic/beginner level. The one and only Powerful Craft spell they have is a shield/defense spell that they practiced several times. It's capable of negating all damage for 2 turns with a 5 turn cooldown, they wanted to master that spell to make it so that bombs won't hurt them no matter the close proximity.

Its hand signs are "broken." They used to mimic the hand signs that the Universe (I'm mainly referring to my design of the Universe) makes. But after forgetting about everything in regards to it, they can't remember what hand signs they used to make but the familiar feeling was still there.

A huge fan of The Cursing of Chateau Castle, to the point of practically making it part of its identity now that a HUGE chunk of its memory is missing. Its outfit is a modified version of what they think Lady Irene-Janine-Karine wears.

Its personality is a mixture of Lord Josephandre, Pierre-Jacques-Erneste, and Lady Irene-Janine-Karine (aka the Chateau Trio!!! Love those three...).

Its name, "Soleil" is just something they found in a book and decided to use for itself. They don't remember its name anymore.

dixon dallas as my number one artist on spotify is so unserious

[a-wild-torterra]

I use a loophole for Spotify which is using the pc/tablet version so the only premium feature I don’t have is ads since you can customize your queue and turn off shuffle on the versions that aren’t the phone version

you know the drill, op disabled reblogs etc etc etc

Linux is Interesting~~ And A Rant~~

kinda glad linux mint debian edition exists~~ cause I'm a bit worried I'd be too out of my element to run pure debian... idk why tho....

but at the same time as a teenager/younger adult messing around with linux, I'd ran fedora for a while (and miss GNOME), and tried to run freeBSD for some reason without success on an old tower computer.... I even dual booted windows 7 and Mageia back then~~

now I just kinda stick to the easy to use stuff~~ why?? especially when I first discovered linux I just used what seemed cool.

I think isn't debian more stable than ubuntu anyway? linux mint debian was initially an experiment to try another version as a code base in case ubuntu went down, right? so they could keep building without the canonical base?

glad debian edition exists too cause I've decided to boycott what canonical was doing cause I didn't like how corporate it was, or they did something else too but it's been so long idr.....

so what happened to my experimentation? or did windows make it much harder to toy around w linux since I was that young?

someone in a youtube video explaining the differences between both versions of linux mint (right at the beginning, I hadn't watched the entire thing yet, called it redundant cause "they're basically the same" and I don't buy it...) different code bases (canonical/debian) and idk what else.....

one's a fork of stable ubuntu (i think) and one's a fork of stable debian... and isn't debian easier to run on older hardware and new hardware alike? and more stable in general?

the video calling it redundant and bugged me so I had to rant about it... now to go finish the video~~

idk why cause despite being around linux and being interested in it for forever it seems (ever since high school like a while ago) I'm still a metaphorical baby in the linux os scene I feel... so bet most of this is incorrect and I'd be surprised if it isn't wrong, lol

Going to put all this in its own post too by popular request: here's how you make your own website with no understanding of HTML code at all, no software, no backend, absolutely nothing but a text file and image files! First get website server space of your own, like at NEOCITIES. The free version has enough room to host a whole fan page, your art, a simple comic series, whatever! The link I've provided goes to a silly comic that will tell you how to save the page as an html file and make it into a page for your own site. The bare minimum of all you need to do with it is JUST THIS:

Change the titles, text, and image url's to whatever you want them to be, upload your image files and the html file together to your free website (or the same subfolder in that website), and now you have a webpage with those pictures on it. That's it!!!!! .....But if you want to change some more super basic things about it, here's additional tips from the same terrible little guy:

That last code by itself is: <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=001.html"> Change "001.html" to wherever you want that link to take people. THIS IS THE REASON WHY when you go to bogleech.com/pokemon/ you are taken instantly to the newest Pokemon review, because the /pokemon/ directory of my website has an "index.html" page with this single line of code. Every pokemon review has its own permanent link, but I change that single line in the index file so it points to the newest page whenever I need it to! While I catered these instructions to updating a webcomic, you can use the same template to make blog type posts, articles or just image galleries. Anything you want! You can delete the navigational links entirely, you can make your site's index.html into a simple list of text links OR fun little image links to your different content, whatever! Your website can be nothing but a big ugly deep fried JPEG of goku with a recipe for potato salad on it, no other content ever, who cares! We did that kind of nonsense all the time in the 1990's and thought it was the pinnacle of comedy!! Maybe it still can be?!?! Or maybe you just want a place to put some artwork and thoughts of yours that doesn't come with the same baggage as big social media? Make a webpage this way and it will look the same in any browser, any operating system for years and years to come, because it's the same kind of basic raw code most of the internet depends upon!

All the other economic forms also require the state and economic forms are independent of governing style (i.e the fact that capitalism isn't democratic isn't relevant to a critique of it).

Capitalism needs the state, the state does not need Capitalism.
