Yes, 'romance novel' is a hard item to define, but I know it when I end up reading it.

I like to get audio books from Libby for the drive to work. I just did a search and there are 2k romance books and 536 science fiction. Now I know from personnel experience that some of these SiFi books are really romance with some futuristic element (I am using my own evaluation of what constitutes a romance novel here, some books may be listed under multiple categories).
It gets much worst if you check written books (7k to 980).
I don't like romance novels, so read more means buy more books.

Middle Kingdom Egypt has a number of examples of fiction. If you count the religious texts under fiction there is a lot.

Cuneiform tables are usually palm sized, so big biscuit sized.

I took a NRI learn to computer mail order class back in the 80's. You got to build your own computer as part of the class and you had to manually enter the boot sequence in 8 bit binary to write to the eprom (couple hundred instructions). You could then attach a cassette player to the computer and boot into an OS they sent you. An amazing learning experience.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Now that I think about it, that adage is really dated, since most people don't use analog clocks anymore. Oh well, here's a dime, call someone who cares.

Everybody hates Nixon but until trump came along, regan was the worst thing ever. Pissing on regans grave was a key phrase.

Are we responsible for the sins of the fathers? For how many generations? No thank you. And if the state has to use force to prevent someone from taking my property by force, does that really count?

Seeing her reflection in a mirror is safe, so I would think the blind would be safe.

Gnome needs your support with a donate button.

How is this any different then the shit that Microsoft is pulling?

This was on Fedora 43, BTW.

 
 

Especially gas powered ones. If you are going to blow refuse in the street, can’t you at least do it quietly?

 

I want to replace Win10 on the desktop system I mostly use for gaming. It is an older system with an Nvidia GeForce 1050ti gpu in it, which from what I found, should not be a problem. I was thinking about going with Ubuntu since it is well supported. I was interested if anyone has any opinions about this. I am also going to try and dual boot it with the Win10 for now. I purchased a new SSD drive just for Linux.

 

I was looking into buying a used or refurbished laptop and installing a Linux distro on it. Mostly want to use it for surfing the web, but I am sure it will have a lot of other uses. What are some good sites to buy a laptop? What should I consider as far as the type of hardware goes (Gpu, WiFi, etc)? What would be good distros to consider? I have been working with Linux for a long time, so I would not consider myself a beginner. Thanks for any advice.

 

I am going through the Godot tutorial and am in the 3D part. I clicked the perspective button and changed to top view. I now have no idea how to return the editor camera to where it was before and the tutorial seems to expect you to be in this default view. I tried searching, but I don’t think I am using the correct words to describe what I want.
