Figure out what’s wrong with my car. Taking it to a shop is probably too expensive and figuring it out myself is too daunting of a task. It sometimes dies when I’m slowing to a stop, and I have to put it in park and restart it. Sometimes it’s hard to start and then the tachometer stays at zero even though the engine is running.
My username. If you enter urata as your name when you play Castlevania III for NES you start with the mage character (Sypha Belnades) available from the start.
Also iddqd for god mode and idkfa for all weapons in DOOM because that game was way too hard when I was a kid.

So you could say your full name is notspookypippithediddlydo or nspptdd. That looks like it could be a *nix daemon.
What about you pip? My first thought was the main character of Kid Icarus.
Mine is a cheat code for Castlevania III on NES. Which is, I believe, the name of one of the developers of the game.
I like nicknames that are short and have no real meaning that just kind of sound like they could be a name.
I like how the path curves behind the bench after the bench goes up like people are choosing not to walk in front of people sitting on the bench.
I do not. I don’t feel awkward necessarily just sitting there doing nothing but I also tend to avoid situations where I am like that because I do get bored and impatient fairly easily. I also just don’t like phones. I don’t do much with mine other than the things I find very useful like calls, text messaging and maps. I much prefer my PC whenever possible.
I’m American, and I’m 40. I didn’t have a mobile phone until I was like 19 and didn’t have a smartphone until I was probably about 28 or something.
I understand why people would feel awkward without their phones for sure. Especially if that’s what they are used to. I used to smoke cigarettes and I remember kinda feeling silly just standing there not smoking after I quit.
I’m not really sure how the upsides of immutable distros work. I’ve been using linux for a long time and I’m not an expert but I’ve learned bits of things here and there.
I recently bought a steamdeck and it’s running an immutable distro. I don’t really know how to use software that’s installed via flatpak because it’s weird.
I have a game installed that runs badly (unplayable for me) through proton. I can launch it through q4wine if I switch the steamdeck into “desktop mode” and it runs much better.
If it wasn’t an immutable distro I could pretty easily make a shell script that launches the game through wine. Then I could add that shell script as a non steam game and it would (I think) run well, and I’d be able to launch it from the non desktop side of steam OS that is a lot more streamlined.
There is something comforting to me about immutable distros though.
I feel like I don’t remember half the shit I have installed on my computers. If I wanted to start cutting things out I don’t know where I’d start. But with flatpaks I get the sense I could probably just wipe anything I don’t use out of the flatpak directory and I probably wouldn’t break anything.
I mean anything made of real materials that aren’t plastics and fiberboard is luxurious to me. So yes I would consider a floor or a countertop made of actual stone luxurious.
