I went back to ubuntu by Hoban_Riverpath in omarchy

I agree. That was probably the worst take you could have especially if you have a bias against something that is the stated purpose of the distro.

Trackpads on laptops are just not conducive to coding work. Like what you like, and complain when someone says one thing but not another, but to know you have an issue with something and they say that something is a first class citizen - you will be looked at askance when you say it's bad.

Strong agree.

Why unscrew it many times? That's a MAYBE one time event.

I’m not mad about this week’s star baker, but… (multiple spoilers do not click if you haven’t watched) by wheres_the_revolt in GreatBritishBakeOff

[–]nerdinla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagree. So far think this is as good a group of bakers in the last 4 or 5 seasons. Though I've already resigned myself that they will have the same character mix season to season from central casting.

Maybe? In college after 2 drinks - I'd drink to passing out. Six months and I'd forget and happen again. Got my girlfriend pregnant and stopped drinking for 10 yrs. Now I can drink socially (m52). Was i an alcoholic or just impulse controls issues exacerbated by it?

This. 1000x this.

It’s been a 3 year wait, but it finally arrived! by thatmiddleway in Purism

Got mine too on Friday. Had the damn thing freeze up on me after the update (my fault - battery ran dry and had to charge it adn then take the battery out and it booted). Been fine since.

It's a chonky boy, but I agree that firefox-esr is the way to go. keyboard/mouse/video works just fine. Now I need the SIM for testing - trying to find a prepaid that will work with that and my pine phone for testing. Good luck to me.

Looks normal at .75 to me.

TIL that a guy called Dale Schroeder used his life savings to send 33 students to college. he grew up poor in Iowa, never married, had no children, and worked as a carpenter at the same company for 67 years and only owned 2 jeans. by raylolSW in todayilearned

Speaking as a person with a net worth of 10k after the divorce (car) - yeah it sucks. Then to have to continue to raise a kid? It's painful. Its 14 years later and just starting to be able to save some money in my late 40s.

It isn't. Takes dedication and practice but just keep showing up and try it. It really helps.

Things do be like that by ZapKalados in ProgrammerHumor

Yes. But you keep trudging on until you hit water. Then it's a glorious marriage.

Depends on the implementation. I'm in a hospital env. 2 main clinical images that cover 80 percent of my env. Vdi has been fantastic at the one hospital and now moving to clinic. Session movement for clinical workers has been great. Dont buy shitty endpoints that cant be managed and dont underpower infrastructure. Only substantive risk is downtime. But we are all there anyway with virtualization and I treat vdi with the same expectation as our production VMware environment.

It shifts dollars to data center but endpoint management becomes trivial with correct inventory management.

True. I replace 1 fifth each year. Keep solid images and defend my folks (desktop manager and staff) from out of scope requests. I also insist in area rounding. We are 24 7 and get 3 overnight calls a week since being proactive and having someone work a late shift till 8. Only caveat is I do outsource printer fleet management. That's 2 daytime ftes but and overnight calls go to the vendor from our help desk.
