Anything by William S Burroughs
Last exit to Brooklyn by Hubert Selby Jr
Anything by Charles Bukowski

On a lighter note, the Dancers at the end of times by Michael Moorcock, and any other tome involving Jerry Cornelius, its multiple avatars, or Karl Glogauer.

My bad (seriously). What’s the slang now to “spend hours years fiddling with a zillion parameters so my desktop is exactly like I want it for the next 5 minutes”?

Oops, probably shows (again) my age. Is because “ricing” was ethnic something ?

Tuning / ricing is overrated. I used to spend hours years ricing my desktop (enlightenment DR16 anyone?). Screw that, Gnome it is: simple, elegant, functional.

I do add 2 very useful plugins tho: Wobbly Windows and the Spinning Cube. Shows my age I guess.

I have a cheat code: I work for others. My work helps performances happen, which in turn do bring entertainment and/or depth to audiences. Also I love my office

VLC for local, Murglar for streaming because it allows me to save music locally.

Dad here. I’d fall flat on my ass if some boyfriend came to me asking permission - pretty sure it won’t happen given the way we rose our daughters.

Fun unrelated to marriage fact: I once had my SO check the front window of a jewelry shop to “pick her favourite” - the stated game was that if we both silently picked the same I’d buy it for her. Some 30+ years later she still wears it on her ring finger. No stone, a ladder of white gold encasing gold stars.

Many imaginative solutions around :)

Bah, I’m too old. Had a commodore 64 at home tho.

It’s straight out of Hexbear so indeed Hell Yeah

Ice hockey

Ping-pong

Yeah, let’s go classic : Casablanca, Singing in the rain, Vertigo

Igorrr - can’t understand no one around me have ever heard about them.

French fries (from Belgium with mayonnaise)

I follow Hashtags, first. Sometimes someone says something I find striking, I check their post history & follow if really interesting. But mostly, hashtags.

The #Iran tag on mastodon is pretty active right now.

Help others achieve theirs

Not my idea, my SO : we all shared what we’d like to do in the future, so that everybody is aware of it and may find opportunities to help or support.

Thinkpads. I’m not sure one can ever have enough of them tho.

Uh? What outage? When?
