those are awesome and they definitely count as programming socks 11/10

what about striped ankle socks 😂

ok but have you tried the long socks? they’re comfortable. also you can get manly hockey player style ones

tbh hadn’t heard of steam and always assumed arch was difficult to learn. but i had been considering trying arch just to see what the hype was about

any computer I need to be stable enough for work/school: KDE

any computer whose primary purpose is for goofing off and gaming: LXQt (and I will spend the entire time configuring LXQt instead of gaming…)

if you have a 3D printer it denies saves you a trip to the hardware store

plus you could print fun… novelty keys. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

you could even print them from dissolvable filament so that if your idiot guests lose them outside they’re likely to dissolve in the rain

or maybe there is such a thing as self destructing filament that doesn’t require water? like some kind of heat activated depolymerizer that takes a few days to break down after printing. that could be really useful for like an AirBnB

duh, we all use grub2 obvs

me and the rest of the ADHD gang keeping the alarm clock market on life support because a phone alarm is too easy to turn off in your sleep:

Isn’t the first series involving cash? (the second is gold IIRC)

me, who never cleans my floor: it would not be

me who uses Debian at home but SUSE at work: why is the work computer cooler? :[

(tbf the work computer is objectively cooler because it controls a really sciencey machine but still)

that… seems like it would have lasting implications for the self esteem of the kids depending on whether they were branded “smartest” or not 💀

You wear your glasses to bed…?

Have it your* way.

*your way may involve several hours of configuration

haha I’m glad I’m not the only one that thought it 😅

Found it when reading the Wikipedia article on pomegranate, because I had a pomegranate. :]
