Ahahaha benis :DDD

And I’m a fish. But that’s not very helpful.

The body is round, the short legs aren’t made for distance.

No, This is PATRICK

The body is round

Base model squirrel is very cute as well imo

C’est une expression utilisée en Suisse romande pour dire “je suis stupide”. “Pive” seul se traduit par “pinecone” en anglais; mais encore une fois, je crois que c’est uniquement en Suisse.

Tu as raison, je suis une pive; j’ai écrit mon commentaire trop vite et sans vérifier ><

Tout à fait! Tu peux même écrire “même scientifique” avec un accent.

Edit: “mème”, avec un accent grave pas un accent circonflexe.

Alpine works great for the desktop and I’m using it myself for my lower end machine.

Working without glibc and with some strangly named packages is sometimes tricky, but so far I have been able to do anything I’d wanted!

If it can help you in your journey, here is my personal configuration for Alpine, with WMs and DEs on their own branches. Only the ‘suckless’ (DWM) and ‘xfce’ are working properly so far: https://gitlab.com/sunoc/als/-/tree/suckless?ref_type=heads

Aeon Desktops it is

Strangest political compas

Make it purely functional, lisp based with reversed Polish notation and APL symboles, I dare you mf

Love the light on that shot! I hope you’ll keep going with the hobby!

Here are a few things:

• “Kit lens” such as this 18-55 of yours are typically not that great. It really depends what you plan to shoot, but going with a prime lens (50mm f/1.8), if you can afford it, or something vintage (Helios) can be a great experience; also for “forcing” you to shoot manual, as other advised.
• Great to see you are on Linux! I have no idea about the webcam stuff. I also didn’t had luck trying to use a Sony camera myself, but I’m guessing if the proprietary software doesn’t work, the only option is to get a capture card for your PC.
• For editing, I strongly recommend Darktable, also as advised before!
• Shooting manual is rewarding; shooting “blind” (idk if there is a specific word for that), where you estimate the exposure “by hand” is a lot of fun imo, and very forgivable on digital camera! If you can, give a shot at the “Sunny 16 rule” technique. To me, it makes shooting outside very relaxing since I don’t have to care about the camera settings that much once it’s figured out.

Have fun, but beware! It’s a deep, deep rabbit hole.

Always love to see article of non programmer people using Linux or Emacs!

I would like to know too! Never saw that writing system before.

pfetch anyone ?

Take a look at that snout!

As pointed out by @themoonisacheese, immutable distros are getting some traction recently and they are good for making a system reproductible, allowing easy rollbacks, but this should not make a big difference, privacy-wise. It also add some work for configuration / learning. Here are two levels I’m thinking of from what you presented:

• You go with any stable (big fan of Debian here too) so to avoid data breaches from brand new packages (xz…), then you can compartimentize your application with Flathub and manage the rights with Flatseal. If you go with software with less telemetry (Firefox), this should be a reasonable and easy to use setup. The rest of the privacy will depend on what is going on inside of your web browser, probably.

• The next step would be something like Qudes-OS + Tor. If your workflow / usecase allows it, this should be a good step up for privacy. Your laptop seems beefy enough to handle the many VMs, and the install is easy enough imo.
