Greetings from Madame Sosostris.

I guess I should finally read Snow Crash, but other books keep getting in the way. I just finished Neuromancer which surprised me with how well written it was. No idea why, but I expected the classics to be more … exhausting.

I’m mainly using Fedora these days, but for some games I still have to dualboot Windows, which I can’t say I’m enjoying. Just over an hour ago the Nvidia drivers crashed. On Windows. Repeatetly.

Anyway, I’m quite happy with Fedora but I haven’t tried many OS to be honest. I prefer stability over the slight advantages other OS might have

Never ever. I don’t know why, but I just can’t stand the idea of writing in my books. I don’t care if its spine is broken or the book is otherwise damaged, the inside must be clean and untouched.

But I tolerate you all, as long as you don’t underline stuff in mine when I lend them to you

I guess most non-technical people are always fighting their computer. It is really hard to watch my grandma do anything on any device, but she’s managing windows pretty well compared to her android phone (with accessibility settings), because she has used it the longest. Even the tech-savvy Windows users are probably used to some windows quirks and work around them, just like GNU/Linux users open a terminal as a reflex. And if anything is different, it will always feel like fighting your OS. I think the problem is the change, not the OS

When I first switched to linux, the only reason I didn’t give up was because I couldn’t figure out how to burn windows onto a flash drive from a Linux machine.

Okay, that is hilarious

Duckduckgo. I stpped using google for the privacy stuff but I stayed because of the language switch.

I don’t know if I tweaked a setting to achieve it, but I have a language switch below the search bar. Google always showed me german results when searching for something english and the other wy around, so I love this feature. Search results are good enough for me, so duckduckgo it is.
