Just a guy's meh level config.

I feel like releasing a distro based around Niri and calling it Omarcomin

and we never even saw it coming... sigh.
Careful now, YC will get added to the terror watch list for being... "statistically lacking in support for dear leader and his current executive actions/~~corruption~~ interests, (subject to change with the wind)"

My key take away from this is that one of my favorite graphic art styles from the 90/00s is now referred to by some as "VectorHeart" and afaik it never had a defacto name

so...

Long live *VectorHeart Style™*

When you have all that going for you and a comfortably filled diaper, what on earth could go wrong!?
