Facts, though. http://www.threepanelsoul.com/comics/1564982827-651.png

I got a badge on my #GitHub profile for contributing source code to their Arctic Code Vault.

I'm assuming some version of SwashRL was archived. I couldn't find a way to browse what code repositories are actually being stored or what version of the source code has been recorded, and I'm pretty small fish compared to most of the other people who got archived, so I don't know for sure. Still, it's pretty cool to know that five years of off-and-on work will be preserved, even if it's unfinished.

I love how #xfce allows me to find simple solutions to common display problems.

I have a second monitor that I plug into my laptop for Discord chats and gaming, but it's not always plugged in and the system isn't great about saving configurations, so occasionally adjusting it causes windows to migrate outside of my screen slightly.

On Windows this would require I restart the programs for those windows, but on an xfce interface I just right-click in the taskbar and press "move" and it works.

Speaking as a homosexual, please stop trying to make me fear straight people. It's insulting. Stop trying to correct homophobia by generating a culture of fear. You're not helping anyone.

Furthermore, stop trying to make straight people feel guilty for shit they didn't do. These people are my friends and they have done nothing to me; they've gone to great pains already to make me feel welcome, unlike the people who want to make us afraid to live in this world.

I tried three goddamn times to compile a fresh copy of #Godot and it failed at the last hurdle every time. Apparently it can't find a certain OpenGL library or something. If I try with the #LLVM compiler instead it says it can't find clang++, a program I've never heard of and which apt apparently can't find.

I could use the Steam version, I suppose, but I lose a lot of convenience if I can't compile my own versions without any of the modules I don't need, so this is really frustrating.

Today I tried installing #VoidLinux with #xfce on a computer I got for free from work.

Had a bunch of problems figuring out what partitions I needed. The installed system booted, but for some reason I couldn't run any applications.

Eventually I gave up and installed #Xubuntu instead just to make sure the system was at least compatible with Linux, and that worked. #Ubuntu is reliable if nothing else.

I'll try again later. I'm pretty sure I can get Void working, I just need to do more research.
