I love that show, my son does too!

My nickname in junior school was "stinky" which probably tells you all you need to know. Grew up poor, primary caregiver had mental health issues and financial troubles meant electricity for hot water was not a regular thing..

I don't remember exactly but my mom who actually worked and did her best those days to support us would have made sure I was bathed on the weekends at least. So one week tops.

I'm still paying for the lack of regular teeth cleaning in my youth. Nowadays I'm pretty fastidious about hygiene, and showering regularly!

Was still thinking that until I read this comment. Tiktok is unwatchable (I mean more than before even) because of this. Luckily longer videos are still hard to produce with AI

Gummy Bears!

Just looked it up now and am pleasantly surprised it still rates a 7.5 on IMDB so I wasn't necessarily watching complete tat 😁 https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0088528/

And it doesn't rain

Personally the greatest satisfaction for me is the things I only achieved through years of hard work that no-one can take away from me. I learned a ton of circus skills that I use to earn a living and that makes me happy because actually it was fun learning anyway. I guess I'm saying do what you love even if you have to live in a tent for years it's worth it in the end

My son plays Fortnite in addition to the other two. I don't know of any other games that offer the wide choice and peer interaction that Minecraft, Fortnite and Roblox offer.

He mainly watches streamers who play those games

This meme made me feel better about myself. Been copy pasting from Stack overflow for more than a decade, vibe coding was a real step up for me.

Not quite there yet, still waiting on the holographic AI hardware design. Coming soon I hear.

Always making friends on the bus..

I have one in my wallet - just in case someone wants to steal my phone and I somehow have time to remove my SIM and SD before they take it.. optimistic I know

Don't tell my wife! I've been looking for an excuse to move her onto Linux for years. I'm the IT guy for our company and frankly if something goes wrong with Windows I'm stuck.

Her laptop "won't work" with Windows after October, ok?

If you don't open external files there is no problem? We paid for it and it does the mail merge so that's what we use. Been looking for Linux alternative with the same functionality and no luck so far, LibreOffice is almost but not quite good enough. Nobody else does mail merge from spreadsheet?

Also I'm guessing it will be more secure on wine

I looked it up there was an issue with btrfs just after they started Linux version which was why I stopped using it. That was a long time ago you are right, seems to be resolved now.

If it's anything like Linux desktop the apps you really need (for me, WhatsApp) are going to be available in 10 years. After that it's a short slide to "if you don't have Linux (why not?) by the way here's how to install on android/iOS if you must."

At least that's my experience as an early Linux on desktop adopter. Yes Linux is a niche thing in mobile at the moment but the truth is the developers are the ones who make it happen and they are already there.

This is actually a big comedy moment in South Africa - look up "Die Groot Tsek" on social media!

I have this exact situation with my wife's work laptop, which can't upgrade to windows 11. The requirements are pretty simple, something that runs Chrome and Dropbox as well as Microsoft Office 2007.

I'm going with Mint Cinnamon for her (I use arch & kde btw) - was pleasantly surprised to see Dropbox now has Linux support actually, haven't looked at it for years!

Almost everything she uses her computer for runs in Chrome.

Which Minecraft mod pack is that from?

As a professional juggler I say go for it! That's where I practise and never had any bad experiences in public parks.

True story: I used to worry so much about what people thought. One day I did an experiment, dyed my hair lime green and went around to the shops, library etc. Nobody batted an eyelid and I realised it was just me.

Nowadays I do "weird" things in public every weekend, and people usually pay in advance!

Spaghetti with tomato and avocado. Add some olive oil, sunflower seeds and a bit of cheese if you are feeling rich. *Avocado is really cheap where I live, you can literally get them for free
