unless you've got actual pressure on the memory (ex. low amount of RAM or a lot of programs running) it's generally a good thing for RAM to be near-full. RAM exists to hold whatever your computer might need soon, so it saves time (thus your computer runs faster) to have a ton of useful stuff in RAM

debian TESTING i meant TESTING

i always fuck up that difference. sid is probably *fine* all things considered but testing is what i meant to say. fuck me

also mint is pretty good as a starter distro, i've been running it fairly happily for years now. the only real sore spot with it is developers (looking at YOU, spotify and discord) that build for latest libraries regardless of what mint stable has. my new rec is debian unstable, but mint is great

krita is a pretty damn solid art program, i know a ton of people use it so you'd be in good hands with tutorials. photoshop or photoshop-likes on linux have been a sore spot for a while, but it looks like things are pretty okay now unless you're using the absolutely most recent version

what programs? games are in a pretty great spot now with proton, but i'm curious what stuff you'd be missing if wine doesn't pan out

like, $90 CAD will get you a fancy-ass 120Hz IPS monitor with pretty solid colors. and this is basically the cheapest thing i can find that isn't an open box deal! monitors have gotten pretty damn cheap in recent years

nowadays, almost any 24 inch (do they measure screens in inches outside of the US?) IPS monitor is gonna be basically identical to another as far as colors go. if you're super concerned, you can try and shop for monitors with a specific color gamut (ex. 99% sRGB for digital art)

hope you're doing alright, the holiday season can be brutal. take care of yourself 🫂

i had some shit like this show up when i was looking at smut one time and i just had my math nerd gf solve it lmao

seriously tho you kinda need to lean on either computer stuff or kink to make robot sex work. either they've got a data connection and are having crazy sex in their virtual mind palace or they're doing some insane kink shit for the love of the game

That's part of it, sure. I think open licensing and visible source code also make it vastly easier for people to contribute bugfixes and improvements.

Plus, I think code being free is good! Everything I've made references existing stuff, so I want to let others do that with my stuff, too.

IMO, unless you're a lawyer, just doing something to the effect of code MIT, assets ARR is the way to go. Modding is an honor system, and using a license that isn't commonly used makes it way more likely somebody misinterprets it.

It's pretty common practice to have the code and data of a project be a permissive license (MIT, CC, etc.), but have the assets be ARR or the like.

Some mods (like Supplementaries) have custom licenses that permit code re-use but prohibit doing anything with the assets (sounds, art, models).

i need to have the sole method of interaction possible on any of my posts be the ability to make my computer play the bruh sound effect
