Workers of the world, unite!

To be honest, the animalmaxxing theory was just to amuse myself, it’s not a real thing as far as I know. But you ever look at a cat just staring at a wall and think, how is the cat not bored?! It must be because it feels good

If I understand what you mean, I might have experienced something like it. I think I noticed it more when I was a kid, especially while sitting in my desk at school when I’m done with work, any time I could daydream a bit. It’s a nice connected feeling to my surroundings, almost feeling like the world is alive but not really.

That’s how I interpret this poem When Traveling I Used to See - someone who felt this kind of feeling and experiences/daydreams it as girls watching him. I take it like anthropomorphized version of the feeling you describe.

I suppose it’s some kind of mild meditative state, and probably also related to your body being relaxed in general.

Or, alternate theory, maybe you’re just animalmaxxing. I mean, you ever look at a goat or something and think how they’re so content to just stand there and do fucking nothing for hours? Maybe it feels really damn good to do that for goats. Humans are animals too, maybe you just got to that part of the brain.

For Linux I started with Wubi to install Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. It installed Linux as a program in Windows and added some kind of hacky boot entry to boot into Ubuntu from your windows partition. Pretty cool, and I’m still pretty nostalgic for the GNOME 2 aesthetic with compiz effects from that time.

Swedish says “varsågod” (literally something like “be so good”). Finnish developed social courtesies relatively late, and so translated the Swedish literally to “ole hyvä”. Russian on the other hand uses пожалуйста (pozhaluysta). Don’t know exactly where this last word came from, but nowadays it’s used the same way as “please” as in “please, no thanks needed”

Can I please (pozhaluysta) have this cake?

Yes, here you go.

Thank you!

Please (pozhaluysta)

How hard is it to put openwrt on any old commodity router if it’s on the compatible devices list? Is it basically just using the old router’s firmware update page and loading the openwrt firmware image?

Thinking about gifting a new wifi access point for one of my friends with a crap router that doesn’t even support 5ghz channels
