I appreciates that about you.

I don't know if I've actually seen one of your posts, but thank you nonetheless.

The cycle continues

Similar : my spouse was complaining about how slow her laptop was and that she'd probably have to buy a new one. I popped a bootable Mint USB in and she was impressed that it was "like new".

I left her on the bootable for a week as a trial then installed it to the HD. 99% of what she does is browser based anyway.

Don't mind me, I'm just going to keep up voting these posts because they're so well done.

Yeah... I should expand. The penguins are just my favorite part of those movies and it matches the Linux motif that I started with yet falls apart, you know, when I name a windows laptop rico-w : P

1901-01-01? Me too!

Good to meet you birthday buddy

Mine are named after the penguins from the Madagascar movie : Skipper, Private, Kowalski, and Rico.

Unfortunately there's only four so I often supplement with a suffix. For example, I've got an old windows laptop kicking around that is "rico-w"

... I should really commit to a naming scheme with a wider array of options.

Second this. Think I heard about it on lemmy, been using it ever since. Built in editing, copy to clipboard, save to file, all the stuff I need.

I don't have kids, so yeah.

Edit: now that I scroll through the comments, I see this is a common theme.

The last one is now a governor.

... So apparently it pays to vomit lies that align with whatever he says. Seems the people love it.

Differs by company, of course, but the one I used to work for would wipe, reimage, and sell them to employees for $50.

I was going to post this but Lemmy told me your post was already here... nice.

I've been using Linux everyday for around 25 years and I'd never heard of the column command somehow!

I'd believe this in a heartbeat.

Especially when vi is better

Fight me🤺

(I kid, I kid, but not entirely ;)

It's fine.

The occasional complaint I see is not enough that I've considered moving and I don't even remember what those were. But the great thing about the fediverse is that you can move if you want!

Now there's too many gay people in the population to keep them down.

Well if we made more gay people, let's just make more trans people. Problem solved!

But I should procrastinate paying my taxes until the last minute, yes? I have 1099 income that doesn't have taxes pre deducted from it, there's I always have to pay in (which is fine, I budget for it)

I'll find something else to screw up and cause it to break, don't worry.

You're not my supervisor!

Makes sense; people are stupid. Me included at least half of the time.

I remember a backpacking buddy talking about a tool for puncturing the (empty) fuel cans for "jet boil" camping stoves because they couldn't be recycled without very clearly being empty.
