Wait, really? Why is it in such a state‽

I got it for free. It used to be my Gran's.

Possibly, but for the sake of sideloading I'd may as well just buy an Android.

Wasn't my choice. I was 10.

Something Android has had since version 1.0: the ability to install apps from places other than the App Store.

Time to get an Android, I guess.

I use master because I'm nostalgic. If it matters that much, though, I'll start using trunk (like we used to back in the days of SVN).

Ha! Yeah, I remember that phase. I was planning to install LXDE as my first distro, simply because I thought the wallpaper looked cool.

Of course it can. Man, technology just keeps getting better and better! /s

I use Reddit via one of three frontends (kddit, Eddrit, and Remini).

Some of my known haunts include:

• r/pifsandpsas
• r/Weirdcore
• r/scarysigns
• r/HoldMyRedBull
• r/BSDmemes

Since Old Reddit will be dead soon, have a look at kddit and Eddrit. They're like Libreddit, but not blocked (yet). However, you should try to avoid using them, as they get ratelimited quite easily.

Yeah, I think they go into discovery mode until they find a previously-paired device when you turn them on.

I'll double-check the manual.

NoScript generally helps this. No JS means no uBo detection.

Try changing your user agent to a Chrome one (e.g. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.36). Works a treat!

Yeah, they're having some trouble with Pictrs. I'll relink.

What's the problem with running an older OSX? https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacy

I am running 10.6. Chromium Legacy is for 10.7 and above, and the same is true of a lot of software. Meanwhile, on my Linux partition, I can have Firefox Nightly if I want. It'll run heavily, but it's possible.

As it happens, I do have a somewhat recent browser installed in OSX, but it's not great.

Also, running an older OS like that isn't a good idea, as it won't have received security patches or microcode updates.

That's the thing, you can run a 64-bit distro as long as you've a 32 bit grub starting it :)

I hadn't quite considered that somebody had implemented this. Thanks for the info!

There was also another user who gave me a link to some software that modifies mixed-mode ISOs so that they will boot on my potato laptop.

Whoa! Thank you!

Well, that explains the memes.

A-Levels are a British standardised exam, at the same level as the American SATs. However, they are much harder.

An enhancement subject is (AFAIK) a way of getting more UCAS points, which increases your chances of being accepted at some universities.

If I messed up, my representative should return the form in due course.
