Bonjour!

I can’t believe that nothing mainly concerning the Ankh Morpork Watch has ever been produced. If nothing else, they could be the source for a great TV show, but so far nothing has ever been made. It’s weird.

Are you a Batman villain, threatening to poison Gotham’s water supply.

I got an LG OLED a few weeks ago. Hands down the best TV screen I’ve ever owned.

Fuck knows what the stock OS does because I’ve only watched Apple TV through it.

Yeah, like several other people on the internet I’m not American, so I have no idea what this is about.

sigh

You post a message containing a demand for an opposition party, then when you’re reminded that they exist you say you won’t vote for them.

And people wonder why most countries have wandered centre-right over the past 40 years.

Drugs Are Really Excellent?

What a pervert.

That’s like buying a Ferrari and dropping in a Lada engine.

It took me a while to work out that the reason so much of Linux goes through the terminal is because that’s what the people who build Linux are used to. They put little to no effort into UX, then grumble that more normies aren’t adopting Linux.

I got my first Macbook in 2007, and honestly don’t think I touched Terminal for maybe four years. It just wasn’t at all necessary for day to day use. So having to wrap my head around terminal commands in order to do so much in Mint is quite a head fuck.

Being able to consistently install things by downloading an exe from a website and just double click it is lacking.

This is something I still have issues with. I’ve been running Mint on an old Mac mini for six or seven months now, and still have to think to remember what flavour of Linux it’s based on when trying to install software.

Then there’s the way it has software installed via the store, Flatpak, and the terminal, meaning I have multiple places that need software updates. And that doesn’t necessarily cover OS updates.

Don’t get me wrong, I like Mint, and I do enjoy the tinkering, but I kinda go by the “Could I put this on my mum’s laptop without her having trouble?” rule, and the answer is no. It’s close, but no.

Does it incorporate Smart Pipe™ technology?

Detectorists is a masterpiece. Everything about that show is warm-hearted. Not even Lance and Andy’s rivalry with Simon and Garfunkel ever turns truly nasty.

"Once I even called him [AIRHEAD] "

WHAT IS THE CHARGE? Shooting a RAPIST? A disgusting rapist?

Yeah, I’m in the process of shifting all of my workflows over to Linux/Android from all-Apple, but my Macs are a huge sticking point. My main computer is an M2 Macbook Air, which is ridiculously quick. I’m basically just waiting for Asahi to gain display port over USB, at which point I’ll ditch macOS. But until then…

I still miss Roger.

The inability to focus mixed with the forgetfulness is my Achilles heel.

Like, I’ll put the butter in the microwave for TEN SECONDS to softe it, then forget I’ve done so until it beeps and now my butter is a puddle. Ten fucking seconds.

What is Dubai style chocolate? I’d never heard of it before, but there’s been a sign in my local Lidl’s window for a week saying they’re sold out of it.

Reid Hoffman can wake up at 4:30am and begin the important work of eating my entire arsehole.

This ain’t my first rodeo, Chief.
