Slackware, Gentoo, the Mandriva family (OpenMandriva, Mageia, PCLinuxOS, ROSA, ALT Linux), Void, Alpine, Chimera, Venom, CRUX, Exherbo, Paldo, the PiSi family (PiSi Linux, old versions of Pardus), and Solus (eopkg is a fork of PiSi).

And then there’s also sndio, ported from OpenBSD. This does basically the same thing as OSS/ALSA.

Ohh, Easter. Not sure how I didn’t join the dots there.

What makes today the Day of Brian?

Can’t believe we got tyrannosaur-skin handbags before GTA VI.

20NB here. Possibly in a similar boat to you at my age. I consider myself abrosexual, but I have not been able to experiment as of yet.

As for how I figured things out, it’s quite simple. I am panromantic and demiromantic, and I have only loved three people in my life. All three are fellow enbies, but between them they cover the three main areas of the gender spectrum.

I also see a fair amount of (generally non-spicy) fanart on Tumblr and Pinterest, which has strengthened my convictions.

Because of my demiromanticism, as well as depression (self-Dx; 99.999% certainty) and autism (awaiting formal Dx; the NHS is shit), I have not started dating yet and I have not been in any relationships; so this is entirely instinctual and has not been tested.

• Tea
  • 🇳🇱 PG Tips is popular here in the UK.
  • 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Ringtons (a personal favourite) is popular in and around Newcastle, where the company is based.
  • 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Yorkshire Tea (also exceedingly popular in the north as well as the midlands) is owned by Betty’s & Taylors.
  • 🇬🇧 Tetley is a popular brand owned by 🇮🇳 Tata, though personally I can’t drink the stuff.
• Coffee
  • 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Black Sheep Coffee is a chain of coffee shops in the UK, but they also sell beans and grounds.
  • 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Pilgrims Coffee is a small roastery on Holy Island.
  • While their instant coffee is never great, supermarket own-brand beans and grounds are better than you would expect. 🇬🇧 Tesco and 🇬🇧 Waitrose both sell fairly nice coffee.
  • 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Pumphrey’s is another small coffee roaster, from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. Many independent cafés and shops in the north-east sell their coffee, but I believe you have to buy beans and grounds directly.
• 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Red Box Coffee is based in Edinburgh and they sell tea and coffee, both of which are quite nice.

Linux Mint with either Cinnamon or Xfce.

Cinnamon is fancy, Xfce is light.

Yeah, I’d really like to go back in time and tell Solderpunk to name it something else.

Fedigemini is already a thing, thanks to things like tootik; but what we really need is mesh networking that the government can’t fuck around with.
