Tom Scott has been in my life for the best part of 7 years and it didn't hit me how much I would miss him until that montage at the end of his last video, where I was reminded of so much stuff. It really made me smile, laugh and then feel quite emotional because the weight of that chapter ending suddenly hit me.

Sometimes you can only really appreciate something when it's too late. Tom put so much effort into all of his content. Far more than the average YouTuber.

That's not to say he's gone forever, which he clearly stated but I would love to buy him a drink and thank him in person for being in my life and entertaining me for all that time.

Who else immediately blinked after the title?

I didn't know this! Thanks.

Are there any as glossy as the default? I had a look at F Launcher and Wolf screenshots but they didn't wow me that much

Sorry this doesn't help the issue but can someone tell me what the cat animated icon is because I think I need it immediately, thanks.

I'm in Wayland but that's because I'm Intel Integrated. If it was Nvidia I might have leaned more towards X111

He's a cardiologist, so no. I'd say it's the unhinged antiquated homophobia that did it

I've been really struggling to unplug my brain after a heavy week at work and I always overthink my free time, to the point where I don't know what I'd prefer to do.

What's your 'go to' way to relax or disconnect from real life?

Thanks!

The second hand market for Lenovo laptops is usually pretty good. Lots of corporations have hardware cycles and recycle the things in huge waves. I've picked up an X230 and X270 for fractions of what they were worth new. Accessories too.

Yep I thought the same after seeing 3 Tesla bashing posts one after the other in my feed. I don't care for the brand but I also don't want to hear about every single defect with them in individual posts.

I think the 'technology' topic is too broad and allows for this sort of shit slinging to happen too easily.

Did the same on my ThinkPad X270 last week. Went for Arch and everything worked out of the box. KDE Plasma + Wayland was a doddle too. Very happy!

It's dual boot with Windows 10 for now but I think I'm ready to delete the Windows partitions already

I'm too tired and thought that sign said "Life is Rob Lowe"

I hope he does well. It's been really weird watching him go from Red Bull, Renault, McLaren and not really look that comfortable. I think he'd be good with Yuki

I'm really happy here.

Like many, I left Reddit after seeing so many great developers get shafted by one arrogant figure with a bunch of investors pulling the strings

Once I wrapped my head around finding an instance, I realised how interconnected the whole platform is and how much variety of content there is already. There's a few smaller communities missing but I'm sure they will be here in time. I may even start one or two to get it going.

I don't know how backups and longevity comes into it. Is that down to site owners? I worry we may lose a block of content one day with a server going offline.

It may be alarming having a whole bunch of people rock up from a sinking ship but I hope the majority of users dropping Reddit can bring even more great content to this platform.

Anyway, short version: thanks for having me, it's great!
