So some guy sends you a particular emoji and gets to live rent-free in your head for an hour?

I saw my retirement fund .

I’ll probably be in the ground and STILL working.

A book isn’t a till.

Novelty?

“Simpsons did it!” – South Park

I know specifically what I need information about, so I need to be in control of the experience.

EXACTLY this.

But I get the 30-min-movie thing too. I’ll catch something as I munch the lunch, or hit play on the backgrounded window if I win a problem fast. It could be a little dopamine back-pat there. I’m pleased that I can go back to it, too, most of the time. I’m enjoying the new Noah Wyle doctor show, for instance.

I fled curse forge during the troubles, but I get you.

And that’s great news. I have so few vices and I love popping in as a stinking casual when I have a half-hour.

Feta, capicola, sliced black olives. Perfection.

There’s enough work without them going all social.

I thought it was naive as well, but because they based it on a mayfly distro that has really great validation and reliability but it’s gone in a fortnight.

Wither Almalinix or Cloudlinux or PCLinuxOS or Mandriva? Three of them have really solid support structures and at least one of them has amazing compatibility options with libraries for services.

There are options. A few of them could be better than fedora while fedora is still owned by redhat as redhat dies from suffocation – hell, its all just fucking ancillary bull (Ansible) they sell now, as its metastatic cancer (Systemd) eats it alive.

Having seen SuSE destroy collaborators like OL, CNC and probably Turbo, I’m okay never even working with them as a customer. I intend to avoid them until death.

I am one of these people.

Last I used the desktop was 1996: modelines, xfree86 errors, etc. Not since. I’ve used Linux every day of the last 30 years, 28 as a pro. It’s fed me, housed me, delighted me and frustrated me.

But even when I worked at a distro that shipped two Unix variants and an Enterprise Linux distro of its own, everyone at the shop was on windows 98se and vandyke for ssh. It was simply more reliable for the tiny use case and the time : we didn’t want Devel upended because the team had a crashing wm, and our use case was Mozilla, VanDyke, WinAMP. Really-really.

Do I understand it’s improved since then? Of course. Do I want to support my mom running Linux desktop or run it myself? The thought frightens me to my core. I don’t have time in my day for the added hassle when we just need SeaMonkey, zoom, and (for me) putty and WoW.

But win10 is dying, and ImTiredBoss.jpg of learning the shit of a new MS desktop every goddamned time so I can coach them over the phone as their eyesight and hearing declines like my patience. This year stands a good chance of seeing my return to a Linux desktop and theirs too.

Wow works, right?

My old boss used to say: “there is never a good time. Do it anyway”

This was often about taking your holidays, visiting your parents, testing a theory, building a PoC, etc. Analysis paralysis kills success.

The latter two are on-line, but the brain wants what the brain wants.

As they have a job and are likely over the age of 22, are dick pics by adults really that common; or just a sign of some flavour of mental illness?

Those batteries are gonna be (sorry) LIT.

Like, on fire. Like, from the massive charging rate.

Asking the crucial question.

You poor sod.
