One day after half my office was in tears about Dolly, I played this and was the one in tears. Most of my office is younger, and they were all like, “Tim who?”

If we had a decent high speed rail system and shotengai style downtowns… But we don’t. I spent Christmas in Sapporo once, and it was cold, wet, blizzardy, and we were able to get everywhere without freezing.

Also, (at least for now), it gets really cold here! I’ve wiped out trying to bike on ice.

I had it forever, but it doesn’t work on later Android versions. I bought the paid version too.

I miss the Awoo videos. Puppies howling, Huskies going mental.

I am writing this on my Bluefox NX1… Android 15, 8gb ram, 128 GB storage. 4" on the diagonal, about three days battery. Crappy sound, crappy camera, finicky keyboard but autocorrect is a thing. Bluetooth earbuds and I don’t care about the camera most days. Dual SIM, 135$. Been using it exclusively for almost a year now.

My ThinkPad lives in Fedora and sits between 75%-80%, all day, every day.

In my case, I use a locally hosted stable diffusion setup, so it’s not even running 99.9% of the time. Turn it on, ask for the thing, turn it off again. Fans are spinning for a minute. A single session of any AAA game is worse.

Isn’t this really the only valid reason for any AI image generation? Things I’ve AI image generated: 1) Godzilla riding a Unicycle B) Godzilla taking a math test #) Godzilla fixing a printer iv) Godzilla roasting a marshmallow with his breath V) My corporate logo with Godzilla attacking superimposed. None of the above is a joke.

Every day, make one thing better.

I’m a card-carrying member, lifetime, of MMGFN, but they are Making More Godzilla Films Now, so…

What loopy’s saying. I find it easier to be like “Disk A: Linux, Disk B: Windows” and use separate EFI partitions, so I generally do that on computers where I can stuff two separate disks, but I have machines with only one hard drive, and then I just go “First half of disk: Windows, second half: Linux.” I agree that install Windows then Linux is the way to go. True story: quadruple booted an old MacBook Pro: supported Mac OS, OCLP Mac OS, Windows 11, Ubuntu. Did it for a friend, spent forever getting it all to work, then he set it down in a coffee shop and walked away. Never saw it again.

This is how I explained Matrix to my mom: its like an email address, but for chat. You can chat at me, even if we aren’t using the same server, like someone can send an email from Gmail to Hotmail. She got set up and promptly went back to texting me every dang time.

I’m following this. I also can’t. It’s not the pain, as soon as I see the needle, stars, woozy, out cold. Hell, even if someone else is doing it and I know it’s happening…

The big one is no Snaps. You can get them, but I prefer flatpaks which I use on LMDE.

I’ve been enjoying LMDE. Mint without Ubuntu.

Didn’t I see something about someone bringing it back? They should call it Miley CyrOS.

I have been on Fedora since 33 or 34, and quite like it. I will say that I have had upgrade woes twice though. I set up Nextcloud on Ubuntu using snaps about 10 years ago, and it’s still kicking, although it goes down every time it decides it’s going to update itself. Win 11 at work: Randomly, half our fleet stopped loading Teams chats last week, and six machines lost their UEFI boot entries today. Big fan.

I did a tailscale to a VPS for a while, but then the VPS host got bought by Microslop…

When I was 10, I did this. Except, I used a lot of electrical tape to take a step ladder to the tubes of the forklift, then climbed the ladder to change the bulbs. It’s okay, my dad was driving the forklift, and I climbed down to the bottom run of the ladder everytime he moved it.
