What a pervert.

That's like buying a Ferrari and dropping in a Lada engine.

It took me a while to work out that the reason so much of Linux goes through the terminal is because that's what the people who build Linux are used to. They put little to no effort into UX, then grumble that more normies aren't adopting Linux.

I got my first Macbook in 2007, and honestly don't think I touched Terminal for maybe four years. It just wasn't at all necessary for day to day use. So having to wrap my head around terminal commands in order to do so much in Mint is quite a head fuck.

Being able to consistently install things by downloading an exe from a website and just double click it is lacking.

This is something I still have issues with. I've been running Mint on an old Mac mini for six or seven months now, and still have to think to remember what flavour of Linux it's based on when trying to install software.

Then there's the way it has software installed via the store, Flatpak, and the terminal, meaning I have multiple places that need software updates. And that doesn't necessarily cover OS updates.

Don't get me wrong, I like Mint, and I do enjoy the tinkering, but I kinda go by the "Could I put this on my mum's laptop without her having trouble?" rule, and the answer is no. It's close, but no.

I wonder if Michael Green or Corinne Stockheath will turn up to collect Shapps' award?

Does it incorporate Smart Pipe™ technology?

Detectorists is a masterpiece. Everything about that show is warm-hearted. Not even Lance and Andy's rivalry with Simon and Garfunkel ever turns truly nasty.

"Once I even called him [AIRHEAD] "

WHAT IS THE CHARGE? Shooting a RAPIST? A disgusting rapist?

Yeah, I’m in the process of shifting all of my workflows over to Linux/Android from all-Apple, but my Macs are a huge sticking point. My main computer is an M2 Macbook Air, which is ridiculously quick. I’m basically just waiting for Asahi to gain display port over USB, at which point I’ll ditch macOS. But until then…

I still miss Roger.

This ain't my first rodeo, Chief.

Cool. Lower prices at the pump in 5... 4... 3......

It’s as easy as using two three shells.

We’ve got one of those ones that attaches to a regular toilet, and I gotta say that it’s fucking wonderful.

However. The water pressure in our house can be kinda weird. Mostly it’s normal, but sometimes it’s like a jet washer for a few seconds. And those few seconds after you’ve first opened the bidet are like getting reamed out by a Karcher.

I switched over to GrapheneOS a few months ago. At this stage, the only Apple service I use on my phone is Apple Music. Oh, and my @me.com email address. If I could use iCloud Drive then I might, but as it stands I now use Proton instead.

I've stopped using a bunch of Apple stuff even on my Macs and iPad too, just so I can have some level of interoperability with my phone.

The providers like money and are able to keep asking us for more.

Mr Mobile talked about this in his review of Oppo's Find N5.

Essentially, while the product is great and folding phones are finding more utility, the price is still prohibitively high.

I upgraded to a Pixel 9 a few months ago because I specifically wanted to run GrapheneOS. I did considered a Pixel Fold, but really couldn't justify the extra cost. Maybe next time though...

Is the original image art? Who's to say.

But turn that image into a meme and it does become art. And that's wonderful.

This is why Miyazaki is so against AI. Man can't handle the junk in the trunk.
