I’m looking forward to the Pop! team getting this out so they can focus on getting the rest of their distro up to date.

Separate to idiotic moves to make standalone software phone home, we do need to have updated laws that deal with products and services that depends on third party infrastructure to exist.

For example, many cloud dependent “smart” home products have been crippled or bricked by their vendors disabling or limiting cloud services. In those cases, consumers deserve a remedy if the change happens soon enough after purchase.

And should vendors be required to open their hardware once it exits support?

The separate counter for 10,000 does my head in

Look who’s the NPC now

There are some gaps in this video owing to the guy not knowing some different keyboard shortcuts in macOS and just assuming they don’t exist.

I’d say macOS is still more consistent than Linux but it certainly peaked in Snow Leopard.

Really interesting to learn about all the little sidings and spurs I was always interested about.

Wtf did I just read

So is this Oracle’s fault for over promising, council’s fault for not communicating its needs, or a lack of training/induction?

Things would be so much better if even the current laws and rules were enforced correctly.

I’ve been to a couple of the Ballarat ones. I’ll make an effort to go if I can.

I miss the Melbourne ones. The atmosphere was electric and staying up all night still wasn’t enough time to see everything.

The radio station that plays the old hits has started playing newer hits. Spoiler: they’re not new.

Memories 🥲

In my own case I’d put it down to Flatpak etc. finally resolving the software installation problem.

Installing most Linux OSes has been easy enough for decades, but a program not in your distro’s repos could be a nightmare to get working.

More than real estate ownership: real estate speculation as an investment strategy

One way I do TeX now is a few templates (letter, memo, etc) and circulate files in PDF.

If you must use Word to circulate files, consider Pandoc as a way to get them out.

My default is to respect all people. It’s on you to lose my respect.

You’re entitled to your opinion and I’m entitled to eviscerate your opinion if it is my opinion that it’s shit.

Though I try to debate ideas with logic and evidence.

Remember that your beliefs and values should inform your political affiliation, not the other way around.

Don’t let others tell you what you “should” believe, because political views can be nuanced and contextual.

Adding another. Children of Men. Brilliantly made, disturbing premise, very plausible sci-fi. Quite violent, though.
