That's why I stopped using it at home (apart from stuff like like NAS, routers, etc).

This was a few years ago so perhaps it's been addressed now. I installed Ubuntu and downloaded Steam to install. It wouldn't. I can't remember exactly why but I had to find answers online and quickly gave up.

I turned that laptop on over a year later and Ubuntu was out of date and needed upgrading. It couldn't install the latest version because it needed to upgrade to versions in between, some of which have been moved to archive. I installed Windows 10 instead.

I'm responsible for a couple of Linux servers at work so I'm sure I could have addressed these issues at home, but I really couldn't be bothered when I have better things to spend my time on. I just wanted a working Laptop that gets used occasionally.

I always thought it was due to clearing the lungs out or to regulate them but then I saw a turtle yawn under water. I then thought it's ancestors wouldn't have been swimmers so maybe it's instinctive still, but then it would need a mechanism to prevent water inhalation. So why retain the yawn.

Perhaps as you say it's more about visual communication to others around you.

I went to a restaurant when they started re-opening. We were speaking to one of the waiters about it. He said he has autism and makes involuntary mouth movements. He said the mask helps customers as much as him about getting awkward when his twitch goes off.

Yeah for sure. I honestly think electric scooters and electric bikes are the way forward (not wasting energy on 1-2 tonnes of metal while going round town). But until they are better regulated and enforced it's just mayhem.

Same here. And in recent years the amount of drivers are pushing their luck more. Like driving clearly illegal bikes, driving on grass parks and footpaths and even through underpasses. I saw three teenagers break into a bike shed to stash their stolen scooter in. The Police didn't seem to care much even though I called with a crime in progress. Nothing like this happened where I live a few years prior.

Imagine how bad this would be if we weren't an island.

It is due to nobs, and also the bikes. The power output classes them as road vehicles and therefore should be taxed, mot'ed and insured like any other motorbike.

I don't often see this happening with 125cc bikes or anything like that. The ease of buying a full electric bike or converting one is so easily done which is why nobs are doing it.

I'm all in support for lightweight electric vehicles. It just has to be done within the law, and to be honest the law does need changing to accommodate technology changes like this.

Somehow reminds me of the old cluedo characters... But with boobs.

It's for angling with it's back more towards the door in case the Mrs walks in. It buys a few more seconds of safety.

Middle child syndrome. Me and my oldest sister used to taunt my middle sister with that term when she started acting up. Wasn't a good idea because when it was only me and her in the house she would bully me a lot and this added to that rage. Venting I guess.

Thank you. I've always used Firefox and when Brave came out I thought I'd give it a go, been using it about 50/50 with Firefox. After reading this I'll be getting rid of Brave!

It's a shame. I like what Brave was at the beginning.

A few years ago I installed Ubuntu on a laptop, used it a bunch of times then it got put away for a year or so. When I booted it back up it told me the OS was out of date and needed to be updated. When I tried it gave me some errors. I searched online and basically I couldn't update because it was too old. I needed to update in stages but the next release was also out of support.

I realised I don't use it enough to care. I installed windows on it.

I do use Linux at work and on things at home like routers, retro gaming, etc. They're not really comparable though.

I think they are referring to the schools view on the cut and not aimed at you.

I've never thought about that. Could it be because :) became the shortcut for emoji?

Why do I get the feeling it either won't get finished or take 5 times longer than it should with 5 times budgeted cost.

I've lost count of the amount of times my terminal has been referenced as being the matrix. Hasn't happened much since WFH though.
