I don’t think my kids have ever used a Windows machine. I have a couple of machines at home that both run Linux Mint and they use Chromebooks at school. There is not much software that they need that is not either a web page or also available natively.

Much of the time, the sites only put a small blurb and a link to the actual article in the feed, so you still have to click through to read it all.

I abhor those Temu YouTube ads.

TikTok is correct. Ban them all.

I still use Windows for work, but the last version I used on any of my personal computers was XP.

If AI is better than the existing voice-prompt systems, then I’ll take it, but I doubt it will be.

I remember running Slackware and having to recompile the kernel for just about any hardware you added. I configured a box to be used as a router before routers were something you could get commonly at Best Buy.

I see what you did there.

v1.105.1 is already out. Apparently there was a critical bug in v1.105.0 to do with external libraries.

If using open source projects and sharing my experience by helping others on forums and logging detailed bugs when I find them counts as contribution, then everyday.

I’m a software dev myself, but I have enough on my plate with my day job and two kids that have to be taken to all manner of activities. I don’t know how all these people find the time to work on free software, probably for little to no compensation, but my hat is off to all of you, wherever you are.

Doesn’t it bug you that the LMDE logo in neofetch has the top line messed up? I have all my local systems patches and there is a PR up on their repo for it.

I just use Navidrome’s web client. It does everything I need. DSub on Android.

Plot twist: they’re allergic to nuts and this was attempted murder.

Ha! I love “lappy-386”. I miss Strongbad emails. Especially the Halloween ones. And Trogdor.
