- Comment on AppManager makes AppImages easier to install and use on Ubuntu 1 day ago:
yeah and that is the thing with appman. its great but it itself is not an appimage. I honestly still have not tried this thing yet.
- Comment on AppManager makes AppImages easier to install and use on Ubuntu 2 days ago:
I have not used it yet but what im hoping is it will do updates like appman (which basically acts like a software distro manager ala yum, apt, etc) and a start menu for things in the directory. Basically this is how portable apps works with windows and I hope to replicate it in linux. Each level sorta helps. like appimages themselves are fine but then appman makes installation and update and removal more organized. having it install as an appimage and be a gui would be a bit upgrade and having it act as a gui start menu to all the apps would be further more of one. what I have now works alright but I would not mind it being a bit better.
- Comment on AppManager makes AppImages easier to install and use on Ubuntu 2 days ago:
I use appman which is more of a repo for appimages. I will try this for one important reason. “AppManager is open source and, naturally, distributed as an AppImage itself.” This is essentially what I have been looking for. maybe. I want something like appman that is a gui that is itself an appimage and further gives a gui start menu kind of thing. why? because then you can just move a folder to a new machine and boom you have all your software ready to go.

sto and no mans sky. these make a funny combo because no mans sky has what sto lacks. being able to configure your ship and walk around it.

so yeah you have a third option for folks you are unaware of since none of us pay to use the kernel?
- Comment on Why States Are Making It Harder to Save Money With Solar Panels | The changes are costing homeowners money. But they also reflect a changing grid — and the need for home batteries. 4 days ago:
Even when I thought I would have the means to do something I felt doing batteries would kind of be the better first step. Instead of thinking about lowering costs it is more about comfort during blackouts. would be interesting to see how much you could save by buying off peak power. Then figure solar or such later is gravy.

- Comment on Most slopcode projects are abandoned and deleted within months of release 2 weeks ago:
yeah I watch whats free. I don’t have any particular qualms at this point about pirating but I literally don’t see anything as worth the bother. im all enthused because I found some broadcast stations are playing star treks and mash and barney miller and such. they had a twilight zone marathon over the weekend.
- Comment on Most slopcode projects are abandoned and deleted within months of release 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I can’t even say that. There is more entertainment and its a lot more accessible. Better special effects are great but that is so low on quality of life things I don’t care to lose it. Education is kinda the same. Not really better but more access to information but less information is high quality as a percentage of what you have access to. Honestly cars themselves are another problematic technology to begin with.
- Comment on Most slopcode projects are abandoned and deleted within months of release 2 weeks ago:
I often wonder this. I love computers and the internet but when it comes to quality of life I don’t see much imporvement over when I was young and the world was still analog. I mean I would not want to live in a time before electricity and definately before plumbing and sewer. a nice metro line is great and well as geared bicycles. libraries to. can’t really say much from the computer age really is all that great.

I have to say I hate rewatching things but this is one I really have to do it with.

Does freiren cook? I mean I can’t remember from the show but the general feeling of her personality I feel like she doesn’t. At least not well.
- Comment on Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 | Official Teaser #2 | Fall 2026 3 weeks ago:
yeah im not actually sure if I saw more than one season. I saw the waterpark episode. Ill watch any anime if its free and I have gotten an appreciation for slice of life due to some good ones but man thats a lot of season for a mediocre thing when great ones get only one or two.
- Comment on If you could only play 10 games for the rest of your life, which would you choose? 3 weeks ago:
ok then. I have been contemplating and im afraid I will do to many rpgs but I like them so much. I should put in other things. So right off the bat I think I would do the cryptic mmos. champions, sto, and neverwinter. Im not even wild about neverwinter but the character customization is just to good. champions would be tough if the player base went away as the main thing is cosmics which has to have other players. Still there is plenty of content and actually im pretty confident the fen who play it would never leave if it never stopped being up. that leaves 7 more and I got to put in elden ring and cyberpunk. 5 left. gotta do baldurs gate 3 and no mans sky. woosh. 3 left. I would grab one of those suduko games with a large libraries of puzzles and clues by sam. that got me some non rpgs. one left. mmmmmm. Oh um domination the open source risk clone.

- Comment on I released v0.3.0 of my LCARS Star Trek theme/generator for Niagara Launcher 3 weeks ago:
sorry. it was from like the dawn of talbets. the nexus age and it was free and done by a guy but I think it got taken down due to ip things. it was actually called the tricorder app or such. Whats funny is that was pre 2010 and im almost sure post discovery cbs would not have given it grief. it was open source so it theoretically exists out there somewhere.
- Comment on I released v0.3.0 of my LCARS Star Trek theme/generator for Niagara Launcher 3 weeks ago:
man the tricorder app for tablets and phones was awesome.
- Comment on Every Homo naledi we know of is female, and the implications are fascinating 3 weeks ago:
man I have had these things where im like. if your over a certain age sex and gender where considered synonymous. I get that in modern times the view is changing but here if you have a scientific news article using the term gender for sex. I just think we went form consistancy to inconsistency with the terms.

- Comment on America’s Biggest Wind Farm Arrives Just as Industry Heads for Declines | The biggest reason [for the decline] is President Donald Trump’s assault on renewable energy, and wind in particular 3 weeks ago:
I mean its not so much free as an energy multiplier. As far as I know we have not achieved mining and manufacturing exclusively from renewables. What cracks me up is the fossil fuel resistance when it actually solves a problem they have. They used to be able to get dozens of barrels of oil from one oil input but now we have some that we only get a few out for each. Renewables nices puts that multiplier back up.

the plot should be around a hotshot star trek person looking to do a dangerous stunt like jumping a shark.
- Comment on How many of us are actually into football (and what teams)? 4 weeks ago:
So. I was never big sports fan. In college I had a roommate who was super into sports and he got me to be a bit of a home team guy. So not big into it but sorta get the appeal with the competition. Like the olympics. Sports have gotten so corpo though. I used to say I prefer to watch little league because its more exciting but these wierd companies are like buying up even kids leagues stuff. So its more an anti corporate thing which has me wanting nothing to do with sports now. Also it felt frendlier before but again in recent decades it feels more and more like nationalism.
