  • Also…

    The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.






  • Unfortunately no. I mean for the most part it works pretty well (Plasma 6) but I do have a couple consistent issues.

    1. On my AMD gaming laptop it has some weird video static artifacts occasionally when running on the laptop screen that don’t exist on external screens. But I know that it it isn’t a problem with the screen, because it happens on two different laptops with the same CPU/ GPU combination.

    2. A slightly more serious issue on my work laptop which uses an old Nvidia MX-series GPU, and if I’m using an external screen, Wayland crashes if the screen goes to sleep.

    But other than those issues, it’s been pretty good.










  • When someone else has the hiccups, cup your hands together (like you’re about to pour water in them), hold them in front of them and excitedly tell them repeatedly (in a loud-ish, hurried voice like you’re about to miss out on the chance of a lifetime):

    " Quick! Hiccup in my hands! Hurry up! Do it! Hiccup in my hands!"

    Gotta do it quickly and unexpectedly enough to surprise them. They’ll either be so surprised that they forget the hiccup, or they will actually try to do it but be so focused on it that they won’t be able to.

    It’s got a pretty high success rate for when I’ve tried it.
