Place’s lots cleaner now from gettin rid of so many stuff no longer need . Not every thing yet , but gettin there !
Going alright. Going camping with my dad this weekend, which I am very excited about. I haven’t gone camping at all this year, which is super unusual for me. Had a very frustrating conversation with my landlord regarding what he wants to do if I end up buying a house (very unlikely). His response basically boils down to this meme
He seriously expects me to call and discuss every potential purchase with him to ensure the move-out timeline would be “acceptable” to him, like he has some right to fuck about with my personal business.
No, fuck you, I just want a normal clause in my lease that says I can give you 30 days notice and pay a penalty of 1 month’s rent like every other lease I have ever signed. You’ve consistently hiked my rent above the average for the area, done no maintenance to your shithole, and have been basically absent and refused to deal with several issues. I’ve been your tenant for 4 years without complaint and have just resorted to fixing everything myself because you can’t be bothered to pay attention and maintain your property. Fuck you. I’m definitely not renewing my lease when it comes back up, good luck getting the amount you’re charging me.Sorry I am going to be heated about this for a long time.
I plan on trying to talk to a housing lawyer or something to understand exactly what my rights are, because I’m pretty sure I could just fuck off whenever, and although I would be responsible for the rent until the unit is re-rented, the landlord has a legal requirement to mitigate losses and provide a good-faith effort to re-rent the property at a reasonable market rate, and I want to understand how those grey-areas are quantified, because I would LOVE to hound him and have him required to report how many showings and applications he’s processed and how he is justifying charging the inflated rate for his dump.Also, I am curious why the number of replies shows 2 more than I can actually see. I don’t have anybody blocked, I wonder if it is a Piefed compatibility thing somehow.
Can’t complain I guess. Like a true Lemmy user, I finally decided to go to Linux rather than use Win11 for my home PC. I was able to set up the stuff I commonly use and find alternatives that I’m happy with for stuff that doesn’t support Linux.
I’ve been thinking about Linux, too. I’ve always resisted because a) games, b) Solidworks, and c) lazy. At this point, every game I play seems to be compatible, and I’ve seen a few Wine configs that supposedly work fine with SW, so I might as well just get off my butt and do the thing. My desktop is still on Windows 10, and it’s kind of a comfort thing. I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s hesitant to switch OS’s after 10 years of getting extremely comfortable with one thing. It seems like Linux is more “mainstream” and accessible than ever, so no better time like the present.
What distro did you go with?
I’m using MX Linux with Plasma.
