My wife is still on Mac OSX, but my son has embraced Mint. I’m a bit cheesed off that there aren’t (obviously) many kid friendly programming tutorial resources, other than maybe getting a sub to codeacademy. Other than that, all good.

I used to love your card games before you got all political. Your mom used to love you before you got so fucking stupid.

lol

Tsar right to know if he’s compromised.

That puzzled me too.

Let’s maybe not call it the final solution.

Thoroughly enjoyed this post thanks. I have long wished for a FOSS OS that can truly become popular by considering these users and carving a mainstream path for them. Even - for people who don’t even know what terminal/shell is and don’t care.

She cancelled some concerts in Vienna recently following arrests and intel about ‘ISIS inspired’ threats.

I agree with you but UKR may not have the luxury of triaging a bunch of people into non combat roles, and with regard to reaction under fire, I don’t think anyone really knows how they’re going to react in that situation until they’re in it. Even volunteers.

I’m not and never have been military, just my £0.02.

Whatever they’re watching, it’s fucking funny.

Tiktok afterwards please.

You almost made me snort peas.

Same.

The hardest one to land was the first ‘proper’ job - and that was a technical interview in a self-taught discipline I’d been freelancing in for a few years at that point. Every subsequent role had a degree (or post-grad) as essential. I have zero academic qualifications for the job I’ve been doing for the last 20 or so years.

This is an exceptional write up, thanks!

I started with Mint and it was very simple to set up. I don’t really like the DE though (personal preference, I’ve used OSX for over 10 years). From your description it sounds like I can change Cinnamon to something else - is this fairly straightforward to do?

I’m looking to use the machine as a photo processing platform (from film and digital) and finding alternatives to Adobe products like Lightroom and Photoshop… with a view to ultimately having a NAS and cloud backup once I get to it.

Apologies for doubt. That’s absolutely bizarre.

Doubt. Which sites?

This is equal parts informative and hilarious. Ticketmaster sucks.

I know right. I wonder if there are any other words that are unexpectedly acronyms.

No worries. Thought it was a typo. Bizarre correction for it to make.

I third Mint. Very easy setup (just check your system is compatible before you try).

Also it’s ‘laser’ (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation).

Feature flags baby. This is how we do it.

Make it live but disabled, have an env prior to prod with them on, for any regressions.

Launching your already comprehensively tested and actually live feature? An easy deployment.

Can someone please tell me how to do this for the BE. Ta.
