We like thigh high socks and programming :3
Never thought I'd seriously contemplate wearing thigh highs while programming, but here I am.
It's very comfy and very cute!
They don't look as cute with hair poking through :(
What hair?
My feet get too warm to be comfortable like that, but I'm with you on the programming. The coming winter might change that though <3
I like your plant, maybe I should print one :D
Thank you! I got it as a gift, also got a huge real plant but it's outside the framing
I bet I can do that too
Fails to install arch.
Installs mint instead.
Browses socks online
it's okie! have you tried archinstall? it is a script built in in the iso that helps you install it!
I don't program so I follow online tutorials and it's hard to install without the need to troubleshoot the problems.
Try EndeavourOS.
Manjaro has been my first entry into Arch and I've been nothing but happy with it a month or so of use later. 10 minute install, worked perfect out of the box and has done so ever since.
Almost 20 years of Linux on the desktop and I'd never thought to dare try an Arch based system until now.
Monitor desk mount on a glass table? You sure got balls
Everyone is telling me this but why should I be scared?
That's a lot of weight for a pane of glass. Additionally, if it's tempered (which I suspect it must be), then when it fails, it'll fail catastrophically. It'll literally explode, sending glass bits everywhere. Now, it's actually not as dangerous as it sounds, the pieces of glass will be "dull" and won't cut to the bone, but can still cause nicks and scratches. You also risk breathing in glass dust. The reason why tempered glass can explode is because it's been cooled in such a way so that the exterior is putting the interior under pressure, and the interior is pushing out and giving the exterior strength. However, microfractures can form over time, especially when the glass flexes (like heavy weight being unsupported by a non-glass structure). As these microfractures occur, the pane gets weaker and weaker until the exterior can no longer keep the interior under pressure, at which point the entire thing explodes.
Tempered glass desks are pretty safe so long as you aren't putting too much weight on them, but a monitor mount, especially one that tall, is going to exert a ton of torque on the glass.
Thank you for the complete explanation, the desk itself is quite thick and Ive had it for 3 years so I wasnt too concerned. Are those microfractures usually visible?
Not usually. I don't know if you have any instructions still laying around, or if you know who the desk was made by, but you might wanna double check if it's tempered glass or not. If it's tempered glass then you might wanna consider moving the mount off the glass if possible. If it's not tempered glass then it might actually be fine despite technically being weaker, however I can't tell how thick the glass is (you could also consider taking measurements and seeing approximately how much weight it can withstand using a calculator like this; the glass may be thick enough either way).
Thank you, I am definetly gonna look this up once i'm home
Glass cracks easily.
I am so sorry you play League too 😞
havent played in a while actually! but I used to play indeed
Where'd you get that Arizona iced tea from?
my local supermarkets have them
Dope socks! How's the OS?
Arch linux is just amazing, I tried others but I always come back to it. It's just better for how I use my computer: tinkering, programming and gaming
I been wanting to dip into Linux again but the last time I tried, games didn't run great on it. Maybe it's time to try again
Browse proton db for your games
Will look into it, thx
is that the vertigoaway+purityfilter album as you pfp? nice
Indeed :D I discovered them and fell in love with this album! I was considering having a window with it on the desktop but I forgot it when taking the picture
どこに至って、人は繋がっているのよ
I was always wondering what she was saying in that scene, thank you!
I listened to a song that samples this phrase BEFORE I knew of Lain and when I watched that scene the first time, I legit got goosebumps. Since then, some days the sentence just loops around in my head for hours, cursed.
I don't even speak Japanese 😭
Cyberia lyr3 by any chance? Cuz exactly same, I was already a huge breakcore fan before watching lain
Yeah lmao
Is that an Outer Wilds desk mat?? You have a link to that by chance?? I'm really hoping you don't tell me it's from a GB from like 3 years ago or something lol.
Also what kb you rocking? I like the keycap color scheme.
It's this one! https://fangamer.eu/collections/outer-wilds/products/outer-wilds-desk-mat
Outer wilds is my favorite game ever, I had to get it
My kb is a Keychron K2 no backlight, and this is the stock keycaps colour, they look awesome!

Ooh your socks look so fluffy and comfy! Love them.
Thank youuu
