I'm also black (but not American) and I felt the same way reading this lol

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who noticed... it's disheartening and frustrating.

Use any you want. I've been mounting my internal secondary hard drive on /mnt for well over a year now and haven't had any problems. Previously, I mounted it on ~/Storage and it also worked fine (though only because I'm the only user in my computer; dual-user systems would result in the other user being unable to access the hard drive).

I get what you mean. I see a decent chunk of often more tech-proficient Linux users putting down Linux Mint, and it saddens me because even though I don't use Mint anymore, it was still the first distro I properly daily-drove and I still consider it an amazing system for people who are new to Linux.

I'm very glad you've been having a good experience with Mint!

My beloved childhood game Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 is much better on the PS2 compared to PC, due to being developed by a different team; having grown up with the PC version, the first time I played the PS2 version it felt like I was playing a remake because it's almost a completely different game.

I'm the one on the left and need my own punk girlfriend like the one on the right 🥺

It's simple: they never stopped being racist, they just try to not say it out loud anymore.

It makes me really sad that the space station is going to be destroyed since I always really liked it, but the sheer amount of fuel needed to move it to a stable position makes me (begrudgingly) understand why they're going to do it...

Honestly, you don't have to worry about what others say, you should use what works best for you. Personally I find them to be nice and comfortable to use, myself 😅

How did you make it usable? I personally love restoring and making use out of severely-underpowered hardware and still have an old netbook lying around, so I'm curious to hear what you did with yours :o

I follow some meme accounts, if you'd be interested:

These aren't meme accounts per se, but their " of the day" posts are still neat to me:

I hope this can be of use to help lighten up your Mastodon experience. 😅
