The story I heard in a medeival history class about the origin of the handshake is that it’s a sign that you don’t mean to attack the other person because you’re not holding a weapon in your hand

Ironic!

Sure thing! I won’t pretend to be knowledgeable about the differences in hardware between like a Lenovo and a Framework. I actually intended to buy a Lenovo but I was shopping for a made-for-Linux laptop when Lenovo happened not to be selling them (they had been before and I guess they are again now). The appeal of the Framework was entirely the upgradability

I’m also making the slow transition from Apple to Linux, and I (relatively) recently bought a Framework 13. I went with kind of a minimum-specs loadout, figuring I didn’t really know what I was getting into and I could upgrade it later (the primary selling point of Framework). I’ve been satisfied with running Fedora/Gnome on it for several months. I get the impression that the distro is more important than the hardware in terms of having a comfortable MacOS-to-Linux experience. But because Framework explicitly supports Fedora, I felt like it was a smaller step away from the walled garden, “it just works” experience of being a Mac user team just going straight to a distro and manufacturer that was likely to require a lot more manual setup and knowledge.

I use it to wake my computer up when the display is off.

Very Tall Bart is one of my favorite YouTube channels. I recommend it if you’re into nonsensical potty humor generated by editing mostly the Simpsons and Prager U videos.

I hope the typo above doesn’t prevent anyone interested from discovering this excellent genre. It’s “Explosions in the Sky”.

This was what I thought the OP was talking about at first. It took me a minute to remember that urban legend from the 90s.

I travel with a couple of binder clips for exactly this reason. I never thought of using a hanger with clips though!

Bone apple tea!

Aww, bummer. I’m sure I could get a PS2 emulator up and running, but I don’t think it would be worth it just for Burnout 3

Classic! I should re-buy this on steam so I can play it again.

This is bat country!

I heard that story as part of the Behind the Bastards series on Vince McMahon. It was an excellent and very entertaining four- or five-episode series.

I noticed the same thing. It might be hidden due to anti-features. I found it on NeoStore.

ohhh. I see.

Is this header image a subliminal suggestion to use Orion browser?

I feel this. It’s exactly as condescending as “naive” and means basically the same thing.

Ah yes, Anubis, god of death. Exactly who I want to take safety advice from.

For me it feels like complete inability to focus on anything or to recall specific concepts (like not being able to think of a word).

This is a super interesting thread because I wonder if what I’m experiencing is even brain fog at all, or just ADHD. And I also wonder how other folks know when they’re feeling brain fog.

Like, do any of you have a test for yourself to know when you’re feeling brain fog (or inversely, a test to be sure you’re not)?
