You summed this up perfectly. Absolutely spot on.

I thought we all agreed upon Phoney Stark? Were you not at that meeting?

My wife is still on Mac OSX, but my son has embraced Mint. I’m a bit cheesed off that there aren’t (obviously) many kid friendly programming tutorial resources, other than maybe getting a sub to codeacademy. Other than that, all good.

$124,111,680,000 if you’re curious (24x365x2024x7000).

It took me a while to realise what this was. I thought a bigger kitty was eating a smaller kitty’s head.

What the hell man. Get out a bit more. Where do you live?

Tsar right to know if he’s compromised.

That puzzled me too.

Let’s maybe not call it the final solution.

Thoroughly enjoyed this post thanks. I have long wished for a FOSS OS that can truly become popular by considering these users and carving a mainstream path for them. Even - for people who don’t even know what terminal/shell is and don’t care.

I agree with you but UKR may not have the luxury of triaging a bunch of people into non combat roles, and with regard to reaction under fire, I don’t think anyone really knows how they’re going to react in that situation until they’re in it. Even volunteers.

I’m not and never have been military, just my £0.02.

Whatever they’re watching, it’s fucking funny.

Tiktok afterwards please.

You almost made me snort peas.

Same.

The hardest one to land was the first ‘proper’ job - and that was a technical interview in a self-taught discipline I’d been freelancing in for a few years at that point. Every subsequent role had a degree (or post-grad) as essential. I have zero academic qualifications for the job I’ve been doing for the last 20 or so years.

This is an exceptional write up, thanks!

I started with Mint and it was very simple to set up. I don’t really like the DE though (personal preference, I’ve used OSX for over 10 years). From your description it sounds like I can change Cinnamon to something else - is this fairly straightforward to do?

I’m looking to use the machine as a photo processing platform (from film and digital) and finding alternatives to Adobe products like Lightroom and Photoshop… with a view to ultimately having a NAS and cloud backup once I get to it.

Completely agree. It’s not about one person. It’s about confidence. Assurance.

Look, I have no love for Trump, but I agree. Also wtf is with these reports that people in the crowd were alerting cops to someone climbing on the roof and they seemed slow to process? Do they not have protocols and a radio channel to the secret service - even if they’re confused could they not have alerted someone more professional?

This shouldn’t have been allowed to happen. It’s a disgrace.

Apologies for doubt. That’s absolutely bizarre.
