I use windows at work, I have local admin which removed a lot of friction for a more technical user.

But the difference between my home machines (18 years Linux) and my work machine is friction. Windows makes things hard, it is always a few extra clicks or a stupid reg key change.

E.g. recently wanted my full right click menu back on win11, no nice setting option. Go edit this unnamed registry key, it seemed so janky in a modern os.

I’m a long time Mint user, jumped around a fair few distros but mint works well for me. It is so polished compared to windows, it seems crazy it is the free one.

My banking app works without use issue.

I really haven’t had any issues with graphene.

Hoping that the Motorola partnership will produce some great phones by the time I need to upgrade.

Windows, nothing I still dislike Microsoft products.

But seriously.
Peanut butter, good quality 100% peanut version changed my mind.

Bandit and Chilli Healer. Final answer.

18 years here, I didn’t get that memo either.

Funny thing is, I keep discovering awesome open source projects when a need arises. This week it was meshroom for photos to 3d models.

The way to eliminate the risk is a lot more complex tracking wise but worth it for the risk reduction.

Effectively using spread focus tracking; multiple lower powered lasers provide the power to destroy the mosquito but no single laser has enough energy to damage your eye.

It would require extremely accurate positioning and pointing of the lasers and most likely two cameras for the tracking to get accurate distance to target. I thought of this years ago…but never really cared enough, I live in an area with no mosquito issues.

Not TV, but I’ve told people to skip the first two books in the Discworld series, Sir Terry doesn’t really get into his stride till a little later, but book three is where his talent starts to shine.

It is election year…vote like it matters.

I vote “schlopp summoning”

You are amazing, all the self control of Donald Trump with the charismatic charm of Mark Zuckerburg.

no no no; since you are using zsh you will need to use ragedit not regedit.

NZ:

Doctor visit is fairly expensive, but very dependant on whichever government we have in. Between $0-45 per visit, kids are always free up to 18 years old. Kids meds are free.

ER is free, any meds prescribed from a hospital are free.

Dentistry is free up to 18 years old, excessively expensive after that.

Generally injuries are covered by ACC, so specialists related to an injury are also mostly covered.

I spent 28 days in hospital 3 years ago, including helicopter transfer on day 1 and two weeks later ambulance ride to a bigger hospital. Got surgery on my lung and various other procedures. Total cost $0.

From their FAQ:

Do you support WhatsApp, Messenger and Signal?

Yes we do! These also work with push notifications via MicroG or Google Play Services to ensure you get instant updates!

Kai Tangata by Alien Weaponry

Oh yes, we had this on our books… Then the current bunch of cunts (not the good kind); removed it to make more tax money. Absolute idiocy!

We had world leading legislation, but duck the future generations aye.

The hands of fate are kind today.

If I got an old kindle; how easy is it to jailbrake it and install a better system?

Notification history is off by default in GrapheneOS…so that is nice.
