The pharmacist at my local Tesco once told me I was buying paramol too often. It had been at least a year since I last bought it.

This told me that:

A. They’re using facial recognition to track purchases

B. There’s either not enough info provided by it or enough training on it’s use

Just like me. I’m a fat bald guy with a huge beard which I always thought I was the Linux stereotype. But yea, I enjoy seeing cute socks with Neofetches in my feed.

Certainly gets me going.

As much as I like electric cars this could be done with pretty much any petrol or diesel car with an inverter.

First experience was trying to dual boot Slackware and Windows ME on the family computer in 2003 after getting a magazine with the install disc on. Nuked the Windows install and got banned from the family PC for a while.

Then I got my own laptop with Windows 98 on it at 18. I’d just found dyne:bolic which was one of the first Linux live CDs if I recall correctly and was designed to work on older hardware (this was mid 00s). That machine served me well for 2 or 3 years.

A few years of bouncing between various distros and Windows followed. Eventually I made the full switch in about 2012 first to Ubuntu then Debian which I’ve been using for the last 5 years or so.

But not as much as the high seas me heartie…

I don’t want to sound arrogant but is reading a few paragraphs then copying and pasting 3 different commands into a terminal really that difficult?

It will make life easier in the long run as having a repo added will update the software with sudo apt upgrade in the future.

Another way to say this is the master race are about to upgrade their hardware

I’ve always kept a 32 bit Debian ISO on my Ventoy drive just in case.

Would be a shame if they stopped supporting it but I’d put dyne:bolic on my drive which was the first distro I ever used.

Mine used to do this, now he’ll try to eat pretty much anything

Set up a bunch of self hosted apps on my pi 4 (Nextcloud is erm, next) to completely end my reliance on public cloud.

Use the Grocy instance I already have on that pi to plan recipes and eat healthy (after gorging myself like a drunken pig between now and new year’s day.)

This weekend’s job though, set up a quick ‘n’ dirty torrent box/ NAS with an old laptop for festive movie watching before building a better solution out of an old desktop once I have the cash sometime around summer.

One more reason for me to invest in an ergo mech keyboard.

He doesn’t know how to use the three seashells!

Yea and coming with Visual Studio pre installed? No thanks

“Please agree to our terms of service.”

“Read it all!”

I’m genuinely worried I’ll be watching TV and Clippy will appear: “It looks like your entire species is about to be vaporised by a coordinated drone strike. Would you like some help? Well, you gotta beg for it now, bitch!”

I’d say meth would give a more accurate experience.

Yup, I get out of bed and stumble to the kitchen to pour myself a cup of ambition that’s already pre-made for me.

Is it the best tasting coffee in the world? No. Does it wake me the hell up super fast and clean out the pipes? Oh you bet it does.

Damn, got me. Debian user, been using a basic Cuisinart bean to cup for years.

The heating element broke in my original machine earlier this year. Bought a used one of the exact same model with a broken water reservoir cover and carafe lid then transplanted those parts from my old machine.

Plan to use Debian unless it stops being developed or I die. Plan to use my Thinkpad until it dies. Also plan to use that same model of bean to cup machine unless I can’t find replacements when they inevitably die.
