  • I only update Arch before installing new software, or when there's a news item about something requiring manual intervention.
    So about once a month.
    Every update is basically a complete reinstall.

  • As a German, this is one of the few movies where the dubbed version is just as good as the original, in parts even better.
    Especially the part where they're speaking Jive, which is "translated" into a thick Bavarian dialect, including subtitles saying something completely different:

    And for some reason, they translated the movie's title to "Die unglaubliche Reise in einem verrückten Flugzeug" (The Incredible Journey on a Crazy Airplane).

  • It's not the app, it's the lack of volunteers mapping addresses in the US.
    Don't pull your hair out, install StreetComplete and take a walk around your neighborhood.

    And if you find that fun, editing Openstreetmap in the browser isn't all that hard, either.
    If you add addresses you are missing, you can increase the apps utility for yourself directly. Pretty fun seeing the stuff you entered appear in the map. And it doesn't require any coding skills.

    Something you can't do with missing info in Google Maps.

  • I walked 48km (30 miles) to win a bet with a friend.
    The wager was a case of beer.
    The counter-bet was that he could ride 240km (150 miles) in a day on an old single-speed bicycle.
    I won that bet too, cause his chain broke 20km before the finish line.

  • I know people will disagree, but the correct answer to "I'm new, what distro would you recommend" is Mint. No list required.
    It's a capable, easy to start with, general purpose distro that works like Debian, one of the Linux gold standards, under the hood.

    It has its flaws, but it gives you a fully functional system with everything an average user can expect from Linux, by clicking "Next" a couple of times. And it's never really the wrong option no matter what you want in a desktop system, freeing newcomers from the overwhelming options that are out there.

    So use Mint until you know which distro fits you better.

  • I have an idea:
    Drive the Euthanasia van to where billionaires live, let 4 armed guards show them how it works and politely suggest they donate 1% of their wealth.
    Then use that money to provide housing, free healthcare, mental help and job training to all homeless people.
