At work, when I did desktop support, the number of people who would just hit their power bar when they left every day…

Ever watch Red Dwarf? That was Lister and Rimmer’s job.

I find a good shovel adequate defense against a cow. And don’t be in a situation where there’s an angry bull. Shockingly easy to avoid that.

aaaaaaaand whyshouldIcare?

No… no, I haven’t

It goes to show that people are complex, and contain multitudes. Cherrypicking isn’t a bad thing. The older I get, the harder I find it to get along with strangers, because I’ll have some point of contention with them. :/

I can’t speak for the others but Dawkins has fallen into an anti-trans rabbithole lately and has said some pretty hateful stuff. :(

Linux has had a long history of worms and viruses, fortunately (sorta) thanks to its server legacy. Dumb and lazy server admins have given it pretty good ‘secure by default’ behaviours and cultures.

Desktop users though: whole different set of challenges.

Aluminum cans are great but still use a plastic lining, so I’m not sure overall whether it comes out better. You still get microplastics.

Among my friends it’s more like 30%

Could hand-crank it.

Clever! An actual legit medical use for essential oils!

These things should absolutely scream on Linux. Looking forward to playing with it. Windows hasn’t historically done all that well with non-x86 chipsets out of the gate.

Russia can end this in a day by withdrawing their aggressive seizure of sovereign Ukrainian territory.

It’s good to get some sealed containers and immediately empty the bag into multiple smaller airtight ones. I think oxidation is the main problem. I surmise that you could purge the containers with dry ice or something before closing it, too.

This is not important to many people, but “actively hostile to Linux users”. Like, vocally nasty about it. They’re not only publicly dicks about it, their launcher software self-immolates regularly.

Eeeeeevery sperm is saaaaacred…

This was 2001 at a shoestring dialup ISP that also did consulting and had a couple small software products. So no.

Plugged a serial cable into a UPS that was not expecting RS232. Took down the entire server room. Beyoop.

Manual save made sense when a disk write froze the program for seconds and engaged the disk drive with sounds (which I miss a little; very reassuring) but today autosave ought to be fully expected. LibreOffice really should’ve had it on by default.
