If Carter was willing to give up his farm, you can muster up enough balls to stop trading stocks while you’re in office.

And if it discourages people running for office, that seems like a feature, not a bug.

As long as you don’t use a DE on it, a pi3 is great for experimenting with server software. I still use my 3b for plenty of things.

Not sure if it counts, but I loved the Lord of the Rings movies. Had high hopes for The Hobbit, but the way they portrayed Thorin completely broke it for me. Didn’t bother watching the other two.

Apparently cheetahs aren’t “big cats”, they’re just large versions of small cats. They share features like purring and meowing, and their temperaments are closer to housecats than a tiger or lion.

bad thing happens

Me: “aaaaaaaand whyshouldicare?”

My general policy is to buy stuff from GoG that I will likely want to replay in the future and prioritize Steam for anything that I primarily play with friends (as that’s the main advantage of Steam for me). If it’s neither, I’ll default to GoG.

There’s some controversy around him–he has a history of anger issues and it’s impacted his work. But his contributions to the open source community are practically unquantifiable.

Overall, I’m incredibly grateful for him and his work, but still hope that he continues to work on his personal issues and becomes his best self.

Ah, the danger blep

That doesn’t sound like it would work. Ben would continue to treat Beth poorly, and your relationship with him wouldn’t improve in any way. Don’t ditch your principles for the sake of revenge.

Either distance yourself from Ben, or try to have a serious talk with him. Be the adult in the room.

It’s nice when people get the support they need

Okay, realistically, if Mozilla continues to shit the bed with everything, what’s the future of Webkit browsers? How tied into Mozilla is it? I’m using Waterfox at the moment, will I need to be looking for a new browser in the next few years or is it decoupled enough that we can keep the forks and root out the bullshit?

I guess I would classify features like variable refresh rates and fractional scaling as “advanced”, but that’s fair. I moved from Cinnamon to Gnome because wayland was working better for me, so fair point. I imagine it won’t be too long before Cinnamon catches up, though.

For now, I’m just using a handful of extensions to make Gnome feel more like Cinnamon. Can’t say I’ve ever been a fan of KDE, but that’s just me.

My avatar is a picture of a large ceramic cow in northern Michigan. The cow is named Jillbert.

The name is largely self explanatory.

Fedora is a good option. I’m surprised to hear about hardware incompatibilities with Mint, though. Do you have obscure or bleeding-edge hardware?

I’ll +1 the Ventoy suggestion. Lets you try lots of things easily. Try at least Fedora KDE, Ubuntu, and Mint. Go with whichever feels good to you when you try them out.

Cachy user here. Nope.

Anyone who says Cachy is good for a newcomer is taking their knowledge for granted. Most people getting into Linux for the first time are climbing several learning curves all at once. There are simpler distros that allow you to learn at a more reasonable pace.

The only time I would recommend CachyOS to a newcomer is if they have bleeding-edge hardware and aren’t afraid of a challenge.

My parents got married at the same age (20 and 18). They had 5 kids and are still together over 50 years later.

They’ve also had a lot of things to work through. These days they coach younger couples–not because they have training, but because they can say, “well, what did we do when that happened to us?” Because they’ve had every fight. My parents are the outliers.

It’s not impossible, but it’s not easy either. If you are both emotionally mature and have strong communication skills, you have as good of a chance as anyone. Marriage is hard anyway.

If you want to get married and you have good support networks in place, go for it. But give yourself the best fighting chance you can–read up on how to make marriage work, do some premarital counseling, and most importantly, agree to wait to start having kids for at least 3 years (5 is better). Having kids pushes you to your physical limits and greatly reduces your ability to communicate effectively (did you know that 25% of new parents experience hallucinations at some point due to sleep deprivation?).

Department of War Crimes is at it again

So… just the P?

Thanks for posting this! I’ve been looking to switch away from Swiftkey since MS bought it, and I love the easily accessible symbols on this (I do a bit of terminalling on mobile).
