It looks like not even the small web is safe from the tech giants: gopher://gopher.linkerror.com:70/0/phlog/2023/20230705
Last night I managed to fix my laptop. It's the first successful repair I've ever done in which I knew what I was doing. The screen works again, and I also managed to figure out what was wrong with the USB ports (just another loose cable).
The whole 14-year-old notebook is now fully functional and ready to accept an OS. I think I'll go for either Rhino Linux, openmamba GNU/Linux, or siduction with Qtile.
JUST BOUGHT MY FIRST PRIDE FLAG!!!!
Ight, imma start using interrobangs (‽)
It's currently 4:32 in the morning, here in the UK. Not sure if I'll be sleeping at all.
Today, I was in a meeting with a member of the Sixth Form team at school, and I brought up that my preferred pronouns are they/them. I was just expecting the lady I was talking to to start using them, but she went one step further and actually put them into the school's register system! Feeling great!
UPDATE: Framebuffer is working now. Currently watching YouTube with yt-dlp and MPlayer.
Is it bad that I'm drinking two entire cans of Monster Energy a day?
Just got a CLI-only system running. I tried to write a Station post, but it ended up pretty long, so here it is on my Gemini capsule:

I've just obtained a new CD, a chilli plant, and a bowl I made myself. Today has been good.
Europeans and Oceanians of Station, what are the pros and cons of living in your country?
I (17NB) am thinking of emigrating from the UK when I’m older, but I’m unsure of where I would want to go.
If you live in Europe or Oceania (Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, etc.), what are the good and bad things about life in your country?
Here's an article I think everyone on the internet (and Gemini/Gopher/Spartan) needs to read:

It'll be shorts weather in no time.
Just started watching The Owl House. It's amazing! Would highly recommend!
Okay, I like Mastodon, but I feel like it makes up a little too much of the Fediverse. We need to add more servers for PeerTube, Pixelfed, and smaller services; and we need to use them more.
Finally decided to abandon my #Reddit account. With all the bots, the trolls, the tracking, and the imbeciles, it's more trouble than it's worth, in my opinion. I've replaced it with #Libreddit for now.
How long will this last? I guess I'll have to wait and see.
