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.
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?!
Same.
The hardest one to land was the first ‘proper’ job - and that was a technical interview in a self-taught discipline I’d been freelancing in for a few years at that point. Every subsequent role had a degree (or post-grad) as essential. I have zero academic qualifications for the job I’ve been doing for the last 20 or so years.
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).
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.
No problems yet in 5 years with my posh Toyota.
You don’t appear to be wrong.
No, I don’t fit the typical demographic around here except being vaguely techie. I’ve worked with Adobe products for years. The OP is spot on.
Welcome Chelsea. Will check out your album. If you like 80s alt, have you heard Electric Youth? Bit of a retro synth thing going on. My fave is The Best Thing.
