Well yeah, it’s a Linux variant!

Well, if everything ran Linux…

I’d really like to go this year, but probably won’t make it sadly. I was lucky enough to go last year, and I would say it’s the best tech conference, despite it being my first.

In any case I’m excited to watch the talks when they get uploaded!

The thing that really bothers me about grilled cheese is that they aren’t actually cooked on a grill (most of the time).

Yeah this is THE best interface for git. Worth getting into Emacs just to use it id say.

I know it’s been a joke for as long as I can remember, but I really think this year (or last) was the year of the Linux desktop. All the work done on proton has seemed to bring lots of gamers over who were tired of Windows bs.

I was trying to lookup stuff about mechanical keyboards on ddg earlier today, and several results on the first page were reddit threads. So it can definitely happen with some other hobbies/topics I imagine.

Same, I could never really get into mastodon as I never liked Twitter much, so I’m pretty happy I found out about Lemmy. I know everyone on this site has been saying this, but it feels fresh, and the fact that it’s all open source and community owned is great.

I’d add Baldurs Gate 1 & 2 to this as well, may be the best crpgs ever imo! Planescape and Baldurs Gate both use the infinity game engine if I recall correctly.

If you’re looking for something a little more modern but with a very similar feel to those, I really like Pillars of Eternity.

I personally like duck duck go, the results are generally pretty good, and if they aren’t, it’s easy to search on other engines using DDG’s bangs. You just type “!g search term” and you can search on Google, and there’s a bunch more, like !w for Wikipedia, !aur for the arch user repo etc etc

Oh wow I knew modest mouse was still active, didn’t know built to spill was still around! I was actually just listening to the plan last night, I’m gonna need to check out their new album.

Yup, this is why I’m here at least.

I wouldn’t say these are any newer than the 90s bands in the OP but they are definitely less well known and awesome.
