  • Reading on my e-reader (e-ink) or print books. Short periods - eg waiting for a kid to do something - are good for poetry. Meditating. Listening to music. Listening to podcasts. Sometimes I’ve taken out some paper and doodled while listening to something - which is really gratifying (even though I’m no Picasso). I also cook, which is wonderful. Or I go for a long walk. I’m also actively trying to fill my time with offline human engagement - volunteering twice a week and participating in a men’s group (a safe space for men to share their experiences).

  • Fair point - bureaucrats aren't always good at nuance. :/

    Although I still hold out hope that with Linux, there's room for the open/volunteer approach + a for-profit model that results in investments/profits going back into the volunteer community. After all, Linux isn't controlled by a corporation for proprietary purposes, like Windows is by Microsoft. We'll see...or we won't, if Linux never reaches any kind of mainstream status. :)

  • I agree. It’s not constructive to call non-techies “dumb.” Nor is it helpful to demand they”just” spend 30 min searching for solutions online. If you love tech, this is worthwhile - if you’re, say, a rights activist you’d rather spend that time reading an important report or meeting with people to advance your work; if you’re a retiree with limited means, then it might be overwhelming to “just go online”; and if you’re a musician working on an album, why should you need to spend time on tech when you could be spending that time mixing? I see examples of Linux becoming pretty user friendly compared to days of yore (eg Mint, Ubuntu), but has that improvement somehow compromised the techie side of Linux?

  • I see - but given that Linux isn’t one thing, couldn’t we instead see regulation of for-profit distros (or distros managed by for-profits), while volunteer-based, open-source remains largely unregulated?

  • I don’t see them as mutually exclusive - can’t Linux be user friendly for the non-techie while also offering a techie lots of flexibility and command-line joy? 🤷‍♂️

  • How do you see Linux being regulated if it grows? I imagine that Windows and MacOS are regulated because they’re for profits that e.g. harvest our data, create proprietary limitations on apps, and so on. Genuinely curious how regulating Linux would look similar - or how it might differ.

  • These guys give me the creeps. I've canceled my Spotify account - I'd rather not support a platform that promotes this kind of garbage (de-googling and de-FBing, too). Don't worry, I'm not telling you what to do - just sharing what I've done. 😉

  • Det lyder lækkert ☺️

  • Wow, smukke billeder - det giver ro i sindet bare at se på det. Jeg gik i skole med Ryder og synes det er så fedt at han har udviklet noget som har hjulpet så mange. Jeg er lige rykket over til en fysisk notesbog igen efter mange år, men jeg arbejder stadig på at skabe rutine omkring det, så jeg ikke ender på bærbar eller smartphone hver gang…WIP! 😊

  • Altså vegetar chili? Elsker chili 😋

  • Have fun - and invite your friends and relatives and colleagues 😎

  • Agree - love Mullvad!

  • I like the prices! And europaweit lieferung - that works for me. :)

  • That's super helpful - I didn't realize how big a difference there is between models. Thanks for clarifying. And yeah, by now I get the sense that LinuxPusher.dk is not for me. :)

  • Nice to hear - and yeah, their focus on hardware for Linux is really appealing. Also, supporting a company that offers an alternative to the big players in the Windows market...

  • Thanks for the link - and good tip about the timing!

  • Thanks! :)

  • Thanks - I’ll check it out!

  • Well, I don't want to have a bad time, that's for sure...thanks for the warning. I'll be cautious about Lenovo.
