I love this app, found it a bit ago on F-Droid. I'm moving to a very rural town up north and there's nearly nothing done there. Very excited to get up there and start working on it.
Krull is one that stays in all my libraries. It's so obscure yet has names like Liam Neeson, Robbie Coltrane, and David Battley. It was my dad's favorite movie.
Too late. Still not enough to keep me from going back to Linux. Especially now that I'm all excited to try NixOS with Hyprland. This was your last mistake, Microsoft. 🫤
Kind of bs, seeing as how I use my friend's account (with permission) to access the free Udemy courses that his career provides him and I've never seen this. Figures they'd nail legitimate users and completely miss people who abuse the system. Typical Microsoft.
Hope an alternative comes someday; I've always disliked LinkedIn.
My ex-fiancee and ex-girlfriend for 7 years was getting hit on by our boss. She used to brag to me about it. They started texting back and forth until suddenly she wanted to "just be friends" with me (which entitled "benefits").
This was all about a month before our wedding. So naturally I declined being "friends" and slept with her bride's maid. We decided the sex was good enough to try dating.
That was 12 years ago now.
Story time.
I learned Debian-based distros back in high school from a college tech class. After leaving school and getting my first job, I built my first computer (after two DOA boards and much gnashing of teeth). I sat happily in my Windows bubble for a long time.
Years later I had a catastrophic failure when trying to get clever and unlocking my system32 folder to do some tinkering. I'd had enough of Windows. Thought Pop! OS looked really nice.
But we sometimes have that one friend. Arch. Every time I talked about my OS or showed him my clean setup, Arch. If I had a problem with packages. Pacman. AUR. Arch.
I was going nuts. Did he care I was running Pop! OS with KDE Plasma using Kubuntu backports to jury rig a later version? No. Arch.
After a long and grueling battle, after slogging through mountains of unsolicited Arch memes in my DMs, after vehemently defending Debian, I will only say this:
I use Arch, btw.
You mean like feeling bad about stupid things you've done (that most likely weren't that stupid or embarrassing) and then feeling bad because you always feel bad about those things when normal people probably don't? Yuh.
None taken, friend. I understand that, but I still think about these things a lot. I'm still young enough where I could have a happy accident, even if we're not trying. My mind is always on how to be a good father if it did.
This is the way to go. I don't have kids, but it's how my sisters went about it. For the longest time if my nephew wanted to call and talk to me, the number would ring up as my sister's number, because not only was it a spare phone, but it was dually connected with her number (not sure how tbh, she worked for a carrier for a long time).
It's just hard to find that thin line between allowing them to have something or have them be behind all their friends who do have access to one.
My policy would probably be worse, tbh. I'd toss them an old Nokia and be like, "Legends say it'll take the force of an 18 wheeler and a flood and still work." For context, I had a friend who ran his over 3 times with his dad's mack truck, reducing it to just a screen and PCB which he used as his phone at school. Then I watched him accidentally drop and fully submerge said screen and PCB into a half foot deep puddle while we ran down a mountain in a thunderstorm and that sucker still worked.
It was his experiment, to keep trying to destroy it to the point where he couldn't use it but have to use it if it did. I think it died not too long after, though.
90's kid with smoker parents. You made do with the migraines. It was the absolute worst in winter car rides on bright days. Blinding snow plus second hand smoke migraine and no rolling down the window more than a tiny crack. Pure hell.
Absolutely. LinusTechTips had to issue a formal apology for dumb stuff someone had said about another reviewer, but in the unveiling of all their shit, it was revealed that they had mis-reviewed a gaming mouse.
The mouse was in prototype stages, and the LTT member that reviewed it did not take the plastic off the gliders and said that the mouse was horrible and dragged a lot. The company then floundered and had to sell the prototype and rights at auction at the next CES.
The worst part is that they assumed that a competent reviewer had the fucking common-ass sense to remove the plastic that... you know... comes on almost every gaming mouse, so they didn't even dispute the issue.
I miss watching the little moon spin with the shooting stars of Netscape Navigator. It's weirdly the most nostalgic thing for me. Maybe because my first full memory ever is the library computers and learning how to use Netscape in first grade. It's the first time I started really retaining information fully, aside from snippets of Oregon Trail for the Commodore 64 in my kindergarten class.
