I was thinking about this. JKR is really a terrible writer. All of the later ret-conning to fix the plot holes is worse than just letting the plot holes lie. (like breaking all the time turners so they don’t get used again).

But it is amazing how captivating these books are inspite of the fact of how poor they are. It’s an imaginative world with exceptionally clear flaws, but one I want to revisit regularly.

But fuck JKR and her shitty politics.

Edit: maybe it’s not technically ret-conning. But the whole two book gap or whatever is just so lazy.

Is RDJ really a good casting for Doom? I like RDJ, but, this doesn’t seem like a good role for imhis usual schtick. But I am willing to admit I am wrong.

Oh! I didn’t know about this! Thanks for posting it

Pine64’s laptops are ARM, but not not RISC-V. they do sell a RISC-V soc (the Star64), but the Rockpro64 chip is ARM.

I want an ARM laptop, but the PinebookPro was a little underpowered for me to use. Some day.

Same. Same. I know some people use their phones, or GPS devices, but when I’m backpacking, I want a paper map and a compass. I bought two a few months back for planning a trips this summer.

The lack of advertising is a big one, that’s for sure. And Dell isn’t spending any of their advertisement budget to brag about Linux.

Maybe that’s what canonical should spend it’s money on rather than snaps :-) (half joking…maybe )

On the one hand, I think you are right, people who know can find a Linux computer if they know where to look. And they should be easier to find. On the other hand, I don’t think many people by laptops at Best Buy any more. Maybe if BestBuy had one people would try it and see, but I feel like best buy is the place you go to buy a TV or a charging chord for your phone.

HP sold he DevOne, it had PopOS on it. Dell sells an XPS developer machine that has Ubuntu pre installed. System76, Entroware, and Tuxedo computers have all been selling Linux hardware for a long time. So there are viable commercial options. I wish the DevOne were going to get refreshed, it looks like a nice machine but alas, I don’t think it will.

This album, An Oath to the Void is fucking amazing! I really like it. This is awesome, and I’m still a sucker for those long intros. Bring 'em back I say! This is definitely going into the cart for the next bandcamp friday.

Any chance you will re-release any physical media? (and I am eagerly looking forward to any new music!)

I wanna hear about your metal project! Atmospheric, progressive black metal? Send links!

I think it might be more the fact that he is a workaholic and expects everyone else to be. But yeah, I don’t think he is quite as progressive as he thinks he is.
