Oh yeah, hz and fps are the same thing here! I mostly said 24fps because you can display a 24fps movie on a higher refresh rate display and it’ll still be 24fps (hz is more usual when talking about what the display itself does, fps for the content it’s showing).

And yeah, I’m more targeting “minimum to look like motion” than I am “perfectly smooth looks”, heh. :3

To be fair, movies are 24fps!

So movies might be too low framerate for a chicken, but 60+ fps game footage’d probably be alright.

Debian.

It’s pretty great for desktop stuff these days. Basically Ubuntu minus the shit. Any desktop you want, it’s got live installers now (several different ones with different desktops), it’s got nonfree firmware on the disc, they’ve really upped their game.

(And if the recent systemd stuff skeeves you out, you can toss out systemd, even. It’s not for the faint of heart though.)

Timezones, probably!

Zelda Ocarina of Time is probably a solid contender.

Played it on our 3DS and it just felt like a worse Twilight Princess.

yes please! We’re using OpenRC on Debian right now, it’s very nice. Way less annoying than systemd.

Funnily enough, Gajim from Flatpak (1.9.5) does drag and drop just fine!

I can’t remember what version we’ve got on our laptop– [can’t we just check packages.debian.org?] right! It’s 2.1.1-2, apparently. Good to hear that 2.2.0 is non-adwaitified, that sounds like a good place to fork from.

We were homeschooled.

Not the “religious nut” kind of homeschooling though. I wasn’t even aware that was a thing growing up. Our parents actually raised us totally atheist, so almost the opposite!

Personally I’m glad we were homeschooled, our parents actually did teach us well and we learned all the academic stuff you’d expect us to learn. (The state we grew up in also has a system of “you take yearly state-run standardized tests to make sure you’re actually being taught stuff”, which probably helps. But like, I don’t think that was the only reason our parents taught us well, I’m pretty sure they actually cared, too.)

The downside of all that is that it helped our parents keep us isolated. But honestly, I’ll take that over the bullying (and indoctrination) we’ve heard of public school having. Public school sounds like hell.

This is why we run Gajim 1.9.5 in flatpak.

Which. Got removed from flathub, so to install it on our laptop, we had to do some kind of weird flatpak sideloading thing.

On our laptop we’ve been using Gajim 2.something from Debian 13 (our desktop runs testing so we can’t do that there). It’s not Full Gnomified. It also locks up whenever we try dragging a picture into the chat window to send. So… yeah.

Someone should fork Gajim pre-2.

Yeah, it’s not at all an optimal waffle. It’s more a cool math meme waffle. ;3
