  • They fold and retract for less attack surface and enhanced mobility

  • Oh man we just convinced our boss to let us move out of the basement to a beautiful office with huge windows that wasn’t being used.

    I’m getting so many plants!

  • The whole point of neon is to showcase the DE, they say as much on the website. Unless you’re super passionate about KDE Development, it’s probably not going to be for you

  • You just powered off the Exchange server!

  • Born too late to die of consumption, born too early to be infused with microplastics, but born just in time to enjoy all the asbestos and cigarettes he could possibly want

  • You know what? Fuck it

    Bullpups your nuclear arsenal

  • I live in the upper midwest and we were hit by it too. Myself and a bunch of my co-workers were without service until about an hour ago. We're mostly AT&T and Verizon around here

  • Either Debian or Fedora + flatpak & KDE. I'm familiar with both and they just work for me. Distrohopping and messing around with my computer feels like a chore more than anything else these days.

  • I was about to recommend bigstackd to you just to click the link and see it was one of his videos. I could watch that guy melt stuff all day

  • Libreoffice will likely still work fine for you, especially now that you've got autosave turned on. Heck, I have faculty that refuse to use anything other than LibreOffice, so I have it installed in our computer labs. As long as you're saving and backing up reasonably often, you should be good to go. Though your school likely has a cloud suite that you could use too. Office365 and Google Workspaces are by far the most popular. It would be integrated with your daughter's student email which I can't imagine a modern school not having. If you're not sure, contact the school and they'd be able to help you.

    I'm sorry your kid lost her paper! It's always a bummer to take a call and it's a kid crying because their paper went up in smoke. If you haven't already, contact the teacher and let them know what happened. IME most teachers are reasonable and as long as "office ate my homework" isn't your go-to excuse, they'll give you an extension.

  • I support Office365 in an education environment and you wouldn't believe the number of documents lost to autosave. Autosave and document recovery are definitely nice and useful to have, but they're not infallible. Shit happens and when it does, it's when you're finishing up your midterm the night before it's due.

    You need to save, and save often. And if the project you're working on is "super important it's 50% of my grade" make backups. Even just saving a copy to a flash drive is better than nothing.

  • That implies that I’m interrupting my gaming session to go to the bathroom instead of just using my gaming diaper

  • lol yup! That’s the one

  • Would you rather fight one car sized duck or 1000 duck sized cars

  • IDK about other places, but the document we make our users sign make it clear that modifying the internal hardware is a fireable offense.

    The laptop isn’t yours, use a personal device for personal stuff, and work device for work only.

  • People will pay crazy money for old Pyrex stuff. I saw a bowl my grandma had growing up in a thrift store (it was brown and had mushrooms on it) and they wanted $75 for it

    So yeah, don’t throw away anything in grandma’s pantry. Sell it and blow the money on ketamine and plan b

  • I don’t think I’ve ever seen coal burn, but you can find pieces of it along the abandoned railways and beaches in my area. We have a coal dock that’s been abandoned for 50 years and the ground is still black with coal dust

    Edit: actually a scenic railroad in my area still has a coal fired steam locomotive so yes, I can say I’ve seen coal burn!
