Very true, good point. I’m looking at it from my own selfish point of view. 😁

Personally I have zero interest in influencers and I’d rather use a platform that isn’t designed to amplify their content. That’s just me.

I didn’t realise (or more likely I forgot) that Fossify forked the Simple Mobile apps.

I never understood the need to display multiple US flags in your yard. We get it, you live in america. You love America. We get that too. Are you afraid someone will think you no longer wish to be American if you took your flags down?

Thanks, good to know!

I tried organic maps once and it told me to do a u turn as the last instruction in the route, when I actually needed to turn right into my destination. I rarely drive these days but I’ll definitely try it again to see how well it does.

Darwin, where are you?! We need you to dole out more awards!

I added a second SSD to my windows laptop and installed Linux on it. I configured the BIOS to boot from this second SSD. Painless!

Based on your post I wouldn’t touch this distro with a 3 mile long bargepole.

So the ceo admitted he screwed up and is quitting without a golden handshake? No? Ok then.

350,000 servers? Jesus, what a waste of resources.

Be somewhere you want to be, doing something you want to do.

Do you have room for 2 SSDs in the case? If so, install windows on one and Linux on the other. Then set the BIOS to boot from the Linux disk and grub will let you decide which OS to boot from. This way, windows won’t interfere with Linux.

I’ve been using this for months and it works well. Except when I hit a Debian bug that configured grub to not look for OSes on other drives! But that was fixed.

That’s typical of today; executives screw up and the workers get fired.

Maybe the theme is just broken? Perhaps it’s abandoned and old? I don’t know, I’m just guessing.

Hurricane Irene in the Caribbean in, what, 2011? Luckily we were tucked up safely in a hotel with a concrete structure but it still scared the crap out of us.

We thought our windows and patio door were going to blow out and we used all the bedding and towels to stop water coming in under the door. It soaked up so much water that we couldn’t lift them in the morning.

Thankfully I think it dropped to a cat 2 (?) as it hit land, so damage wasn’t as bad as expected. Still, our hearts broke when we saw the damage to the island and homes as we returned to the airport a few days later. I don’t know how the locals deal with it every year.

I can see how decades of working at Microsoft can turn someone into a goose farmer. I’ve been using their products for decades and some days I never want to see their products again.

Because the software we write has to run on windows and only windows. No Linux or wine or any other platform. It’s a fixed requirement from our client and unfortunately I don’t see that changing.

Not at work, I can’t.

Phone? Probably an old flip phone. Motorola perhaps? I can’t remember. Computer was a Tandy TRS-80 I think, or something like that.
