This will my first time really trying to customise linux a bi. Themes are a bit mix and matched rn but I'm mostly going for a Neon Noir/synthwave Aesthetic.

I personally pronounce it in raw audio data myself.

Tue Nov 18, 2025 2:05 am What is your favorite Anime EDs? Tue Nov 18, 2025 2:05 am What is your favorite Anime EDs?
I usually ask this question because people like to talk about their favorite anime OPs but I find that there isn't much talk about people's favorite EDs so here we are.

For me, even though I've only seen season 1 of Reincarnated as a Slime, its first ED has to be my favorite because I love how the song has that "look how far we've come" feeling. I also like how a lot more energetic it is compared to most anime EDs.

I also like Azumanga Daioh's ED because of peacefully concluding the song feels

Lastly, I like Iruma's second ED cuz the song is just a freaking bop

I did a lot of weird shit as a kid, especially with my toys.

I remember once, when I was 7 years old, giving some of my Barbie dolls some tattoos on their legs and faces with a black pen one evening because I thought tattoos were the coolest thing after noticing the ones my mom has on her shoulders and near the back of her neck.

I also remember pretending I was a Winx fairy at recess and at the play area of one of my childhood malls at that age (I so badly wished I were a fairy that could shoot out powerful bursts of energy from my hands, not to mention fly, because of that show).

Fri Nov 28, 2025 8:52 pm Re: explaining what is frutiger aero time! Fri Nov 28, 2025 8:52 pm Re: explaining what is frutiger aero time!
Frutiger Aero is an aesthetic which is used by corporations during mid 2000s-early 2010s. It's prominent features are skeuo-morphism, glossy textures and natural imagery. It's a futurist trend which is about combination of technology and nature, it's about a future we were promised...

As different from Y2K Futurism, Frutiger Aero doesn't contain metallic imagery and isn't from 90s/early 2000s.

Thu Dec 25, 2025 2:02 pm Re: Why do you like Frutiger Aero? Thu Dec 25, 2025 2:02 pm Re: Why do you like Frutiger Aero?
I like Frutiger Aero because it mixes skeuomorphism and nature which looks very pleasing to the eyes in a comforting way. I prefer looking at images of nature or auroras surrounded by a glossy interface than a white background with everything being flat, it feels more futuristic.
Nostalgia also plays a role because I grew up with Windows Vista and Windows 7 and the consoles of that era.

edit: damn, i forgot abour dual boot! thank you for reminding me about it! :sign_thankyoublue: not sure how smooth it would work for me, considering that i'm not really into tinkering the system...


There's one big thing you'll need to keep in mind: you need two physical disks now to do dual booting. Before 11, you could install Linux and Windows on the same disk, but you'd have to do a little trickery to make sure your Linux boot loader wasn't overwritten with Windows updates. These days Windows will just outright blow up the Linux boot loader, so AFAIK it's not possible to have both installed on the same disk. I'm sure there's some way to still do it, but I bet it would require some weird technical stuff like changing the location of your Linux boot partition, or something similarly exotic.

I think the idea of using a USB linux distro is a great idea. A lot of distros have "Live" images which means you can use Rufus ( https://rufus.ie/en/ ) in Windows to put the image on a USB drive and give Linux a test drive before committing to a particular distribution.

I'm thinking of getting a flip-phone for daily life as touchscreens and constant updates are annoying, I'm considering getting an aquos phone but i'm not sure. What are your thoughts or what do you think i should get? (not for work)

you mean the PS4 doesn’t have backwards compatibility by default? that’s a shame

anyway, not much of a playstation gamer, but i bet you can’t go wrong with crash bandicoot, spyro, nights into dreams, or kingdom hearts

I "obtained" the MikuMikuDance (MMD) software, and made this short little animation to learn it.


feels like if you watch this, you'll either be enlightened with 30+ years to live or die a week later depending on the Frutiger Aero prophecy :devil_laugh:
