Absolute legend. Thanks so much.

I would also appreciate this!

At least you haven’t been defeeted.

Also worked in multiple ISPs.

All have had people who care vs not. The smaller ones are where they can make the most end-customer impact and where c-sat metrics were generally higher.

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.

$124,111,680,000 if you’re curious (24x365x2024x7000).

That puzzled me too.

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.

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

Tiktok afterwards please.

I have my client (voyager) set to default to reader mode, so I didn’t even see any cookie options. Does this mean I accepted them all or none or what?!

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.

Just my take but:

Like them or not (and IMV they are a serious threat), China’s system enforces a strategic view, long term, more like a 100yr plan.

We don’t. It’s by election cycle or quarterly earnings report.

These things all make more sense if you see them impassionately, and without an ethical filter, from a long term POV.

China will do what’s best for China in the long term. Irrespective of ‘politics’ that are like ripples upon a rising tide.
