Absolutely. And when bored (which is likely to happen), I'd visit Moorcock's "Dancers at the end of times" universe, for the same carefree attitude, but in a much more spicy flavour

Currently in France No OS is -€60 and with Fedora or Ubuntu it's -€30

Don't ask. Different markets, pricing irrelevant to actual costs

HAHAHAHA what the eff? Where does that come from? (I know it's semi-old because of the vertical toolbar)

Gnome is the best UI there is IMO. Anything else is cluttered, or privacy-invasive, or both.

I am a sucker for indirect, coloured washes aiming at the ceiling

You didn't specify a context, did you?

I mean, this is "ambient lighting" amrite?

Hm. I use it for anything, looping stuff, streams, entire album play, playlists, even audio books before I found maBooks

My only current bug is that I used to have my music on an SD card, which failed & I removed, but VLC still thinks it's right there and fills my library with it

VLC is the goat here, no?

To push it a bit more contemporary: Peter Cawdron and his "First Contact " series, which is infinite variations (about 30 as of now) of making first contact with an alien sentience of any type.

It's excellent, and despite being excellent only available on kindle / kindle unlimited because as an independent author, that's the only way for him to publish & make a buck out if it.

Peter Cawdron is on Mastodon btw

I work them, so I never just go and attend them - the experience is so much better when you're "in". I love the interaction, quite love the babysitting part of it even.

Also when I enjoy it, I will tell them & and it always work because artists know that if the local tech found them good, that same dude who see so much stuff day-in, day-out, it (probably) means something.

You meet jerks, of course. You learn to provide them with minimal service, but clean and decent for the public. You meet fantastic people who fail to make it through to the audience, and that's heartbreaking. You learn to put 200% of yourself into a musical style you don't enjoy because the dudes on stage are killing it and the audience is loving it - who cares if Jazz Manouche is the most boring, written down and set in stone style ever.

My most stupid interaction was, at the end of a programme that included both Chopin and Steve Reich, to tell the Reich' piece clarinetist "sometimes, Chopin is boring. Especially in regard to Reich". The Guy was in agreement lol.

Went to wake up my daughter like every morning, bed is empty, covers thrown to the side. Check around the house, nothing.

Everybody else is asleep, house is silent. Check the back, the swings, the rear deck, nothing.

Check bedroom again.

She was rolled up tight in her blanket, against the wall, from head to toe, making it look like the bed was empty.

Well, when you aren't shackled to your new keyboard, be sure to enjoy our beers, french fries and chocolates, they are truly unmatched anywhere!

Belgian AZERTY has the @ on a different key than the French one. No, don't ask.

Some magnificent pieces can be had for "only" used cars prices.

Lego's (I can't have enough, too expensive)
A full-sized bath (flat is pretty old, they did come with baths then, I love it)

It's a memorial.

It is important to remember it, to engrave it in stone, for future generations not to forget, before it disappears for ever.

In all the conversation, the one thing I didn't read about was how good it is to have a laid-back, "nonthreatening" logo. People talk about history, brand, happenstance whatever but not on the positive aspects of having a cartoonish emblem that doesn't scream "I'm serious" or "I'm valid".

What's that app? I see data is from Météo France, but I don't remember their app being so detailed
