I’d love to answer OP, but that description somehow made me forget everything I’ve ever eaten.

We say poo butt… What an odd thing to have in common with a stranger on the internet lmao

The many tools around this are interesting. “Web clipping” I think is the generic phrase for it. I got kind of deep into it from of a desire to wrangle ADHD, and a bit of datahoarding and knowledge mapping. Omnivore is one I liked for text articles, and there’s super niche applications like Zotero.

Wait, for real? I really thought kagi had its own thing going on, and that was why people would pay for it. Not like a fully bespoke index, but I assumed it was more than that. I guess the “quality control” is what I had heard about.

Generally I agree. It feels kind of shoehorned in when desktop is your goal, like more of an afterthought or side effect of the overall focus.

The main thing I hang on to is the code-specified configuration. I never got into managing dotfiles with arch, but that could be a better solution for many people. Especially along with btrfs, numerous containerization options, and whatnot.

I went from Arch to NixOS, so I can offer a bit there.

You definitely won’t want to rely on it until you know a good amount and get comfortable. Things can be made to work, but knowing how to get it done is the main thing most of the time.

Regarding package availability, it’s just a matter of a few oddly esoteric incantations and version controlled code, usually. Binaries are another story but still possible, and python is a special case of that.

It has been an annoyance for me, but I’ve also learned a lot by getting things to work. If you use any niche python stuff you’re bound to run into something. A bunch is already packaged and works fine, though. Either way there’s a bit of extra nuance, which is more to learn.

You don’t have to start with NixOS and can feel it out using nix on any distro. It can be hard to tell if someone will vibe with it. All that said, it could be more than you’re looking to get into, but you can ease into it if you’re interested.

I wouldn’t say “the cloud” is exactly in the same realm. It’s broad and definitely had its heyday being thrown around in marketing, but it’s a very real facet in modern software. More specialized and actually useful AI will probably end up in a similar place eventually.

I think I’m talking myself out of my original point though lol. Kind of conflated LLMs and AI at first. I just wish LLMs weren’t the only things with money behind them.

“I know you’re sick of it, but I’m gonna need you to get the chicken Parm again. Trust the process!”

But babe, we have to go out tonight. It’s for science!

Plot twist, Marx and Lenin are men. And she really put together that sick outfit without a word??

Hell yeah, Jurrother (I’m sorry)

I was going to make a joke that you didn’t even mention the tubes, but TIL that’s anti-net-neutrality idiot propaganda :( Idk why I thought it was, like, Tim Burners Lee or someone trying to explain things to non-nerds.

Mad Men was hard for me to keep up with because I just hated everyone and it made me angry

There are a few moments that nod straight to Breaking Bad though, like Tuco’s entry. It had me fanboying and hyped for the directing/writing especially across shows. I also feel like you can really get a sense of the writers’ personal development coming off of Breaking Bad, like they refined so much that was already some of the best TV. And the contrast between Walt’s unreal saga and how Saul is so humanized; he’s deeply flawed but just a guy trying to make it.

I really need to finish Better Call Saul.

I can’t believe I forgot about Letterkenny. The riffing is just so good, it doesn’t get old, and every character is perfect. And the music, especially season one’s display is exactly my taste. The whole show is top notch, but season one is something special.

Schitt’s Creek, too. Both are Canadian gems. I love how like half of the cast is Eugene Levy’s family, and Dan Levy is bae. It’s one of the few comedies to bring me to tears, I’m pretty sure more than once.

So many shows have to be tied for number one for me lmao. Every time I look back at this thread the list gets longer.

I was recently watching Archer again, so I’ll have to see how the later seasons hit this time around. It’s one of those shows I’ve watched multiple times over (all the shows I mentioned are, honestly) and it seemed to fall off, but I might have just been finally burnt out lol.

And that’s a good point about Bob’s Burgers. It’s always pretty wholesome. I almost forgot about all the songs, too. They’re so good!

It’s Always Sunny and Bob’s Burgers are standouts for me, along with a lot of this thread.

I guess I’d categorize them both as shows where every character, however minor, contributes perfectly to the hilarity and overall vibe of the show. Really, any show with great chemistry/cohesion and ownership of the characters, where you couldn’t change a single thing to make it better. Psych and Futurama are a couple mentioned that fit the bill. Others are on the tip of my tongue but not coming to me. Oh, King of the Hill!

The best thing about IASIP and Bob’s Burgers is there isn’t a single off/bad episode in the first like 12 and 5 seasons, respectively. I stopped keeping up with both at some point when I was up to date and waiting. There’s not really a bad episode in any of those shows.

What I really like about Bob’s Burgers is how they record all together and have a lot of fast quipping and reactive energy.

Oh, and Archer! At least until things really switched up.

I’m still on bemenu since I used dmenu with dwm on X. I should probably check the others out.

This, logseq, and PKM in general for me. I guess it’s not really “can’t live without” because I hardly know where to start, but the possibilities for organizing my mess of a brain are enticing.

It would probably help to have a project to work on and actually use the things rather than diving too deep into PKM conceptually… Really wish I knew about them in school, though.

It’s also important to note that a lot of that scarcity is artificial. Sure, we’re far from post scarcity, but strife is exacerbated by capitalist systems in all but the most privileged.
