Venutian Spring

I was almost sent to the gulag yesterday for having the audacity to ask my teen son to take some ground turkey out of the freezer to defrost. Worst 34 seconds of his life I’m sure.

He did manage it. Managed to turn it into a pile of shit bigger than the one on Jurassic Park

Man those Ioniqs look so good in person too. I’m considering buying one for my wife next year, if I can convince her to get ride of her beloved Prius

I was never cool enough to have them, but I always thought they were neat lol

I think that’s a bit harsh. I have Jerboa liftoff and connect installed and they are all good. Are they as good as apps that had a decade to polish up? No, but they’re pretty damn good for some new apps and they’re certainly nowhere near broken.

Have we forgotten the cryogenically treated cables?

True. I just have a bunch of idiots that believe that kind of shit around here, so I guess I reflexively get angry about this crap. Just found out one of my employees is a Flat-earther. Knew she was an anti-vaxxer, but that’s a whole new level of dumb

That’s a pretty similar story to mine. Used Linux pretty exclusively over a decade ago, then switched back for my gaming PC. Now that I’m back on Linux though, I don’t see any reason to use windows on anything but my company PC, Linux is just better IMO now.

Not sure what Adobe products you’re using, or in what application, but I do photography as a hobby and do my editing on my linux machines. Rawtherapee and DarkTable are good alternatives to lightroom, with Gimp being a very good alternative to Photoshop. Gimp is getting better all the time, but Darktable already is a stronger editor than Lightroom.

Haven’t tried any video editing alternatives (not my thing), but these programs have the added benefit of being free.

Never understood the point of this meme. Even if the beams don’t melt, you still need to account for the material becoming weakened and mailable, which happens at a much lower temp than it’s melting point, and then it loses all structural integrity.

A version of linux (distro). I’m running Fedora and it’s fantastic

Give Linux Mint a try. It is very similar to Windows and will make the transition very smooth. Pretty much any windows programs that you want to run you can run in a shell like Wine.

Or trying to do any work on the go? This whole idea is just idiotic to me.

The situation has never been better for comfortably abandoning Windows. Come to Linux, we have penguins

They just sped up their return to the circle of life by providing the ecosystem with a nutrient-rich smoothie

Whoops

I just bought a T480 Thinkpad off of eBay a few weeks ago for around $150 USD and put fedora 38 on it. Purchased a larger battery for $45 and an extra 8gb ram for like $20 and honestly couldn’t be happier with it.

This. They had no way to be sure that the sound they detected was from the sun imploding. From the standpoint of the search crew, it makes much more sense to continue until you can verify without a doubt that you detected the failure.

I’m on fedora and it’s been fantastic
