- Comment on God did not intend for us to fold fitted sheets, and if you can it's witchcraft. 2 weeks ago:
Been folding double and queen fitted sheets for a few decades, it is not really that hard.
- Pick a side (long or short)
- put the corners into each other, by folding in half (I like to put the “body” side of the sheets inside)
- put the 2 corners together (here you can put the sheet down to make the sides “nice” so they are square)
- fold in half until you can’t I usually get 3 folds (should be about as big as a towel folded in half 3 times on the shelf but taller)
Takes a few moments once you are proficient. All my sheets have had elastic on all sides

I have cds that would fit in that small a space, they were a thing to give out like business cards and were the same foot print, just cd thick

ff+ubo+privacy badger (ff on my distro suggested privacy badger, can’t remember exact number but when ubo blocks over ~1k privacy badger has like 2 - 4 on it, surprising me a little there are not more trackers) on pc, my phone has no adblocking atm and I know their info on me is wrong because all I do see are gambling ads and I have never gone to a gambling site, I don’t even get the scam game ads my gf does on her phone. One day I may try out one of the “delete my dam info” places just to see how much they really have on me

- Comment on Informative review 2 months ago:
Personally not a fan (don’t like the taste of teas), but many I know are. Order a basic one the first time however it says on the board, ask for a suggestion saying you never tried this before, ask any other questions you have they will generally answer, like “What do other people do with/put in this” you will either love it or feel you wasted money. Either way it will be a new experience. Oh, don’t worry about what others think of your choices (so long as you are not hurting anyone that is) you do you and enjoy, purists will just bring you down

- Comment on 7 years later, Valve's Proton has been an incredible game-changer for Linux 2 months ago:
The Foss drivers work for most things, you need the official drivers as they have the DRM (or whatever it is that gives screen priority to the headset) set correctly for VR, from what I read about setting up VR but that info could be out of date now. My next card will be amd least I’m running a ryzen 7
- Comment on 7 years later, Valve's Proton has been an incredible game-changer for Linux 2 months ago:
I don’t know about the upstream stuff but to get certain games running you had to contact them to make the game work for you, nothing like Proton today. I did support them for about a year or so as I wanted to encourage more gaming compatibility.
I never ran Arch, but did run a gauntlet of distros like RHEL5, Fedora, Fedora Core, Mandrake, Mandriva, Debian, Ubuntu, and prolly a few more I’ve forgotten. At the time, yeah, video drivers were a mess for gaming, most of the time the drivers did install for both ATI and Nvidia on my machines but they were never bleeding edge so they had a lot of time to get well working instruction sets, Nvidia is still a pain(cause the smart people can’t fix the issues Nvidia won’t) and thats the vid card I have atm 4070ti super, shoulda gone AMD instead. My only issue with linux now is the VR part of it(thankfully Proton are still working on it and there is a better desktop access program that actually lets you control the desktop), the games do not run as well as under windows so I will most likely have to retain a windows partition for the games that do not work well under linux(all of the flat games I have installed work as well as under windows and if I don’t look at the task bar I forget which os I am using), but all that glorious storage will be moving under linux by end of 10.
