Being single can be massively freeing, especially where work is concerned - you have many fewer ties geographically as to where you can go to find work. If you can travel (car, train, whatever) then you have a great blank slate to work from.
It can be daunting starting again but you just need to handle your shit one step at a time, and you have the luxury of being totally independent.
Ditto, I used it on my eepc 701 way back when. I miss that sort of computing experience!
Bunsenlabs is the successor to crunchbang.
Crunchbang was amazing, but it’s sadly no more. Development stopped on it some time in 2015 I think.
Bunsenlabs is a direct successor to it, and should be good on OP’s system.
I love open worlds. I hate crafting. Just let me buy what I need; it feels more immersive to me. Same with games like the Assassin’s Creed series - there’s no way some fake Irish pirate is making leather holsters in his ships bedroom out of rabbit hide and bearskins.
And why does where you swipe down on the notification bar change what’s shown?!
I have to use an iPhone for work and I don’t understand a vast amount of the UI choices - and that’s before data fuckery.
It’s not a government body, so it can’t be official. The closest it gets is unofficial mouthpiece for the British Establishment™.
The BBC isn’t a government body and isn’t funded by taxes, it’s primarily funded by the license fee (and selling broadcasting rights overseas).
The internet has royally fucked the funding model - as everyone and their mum has equipment capable of receiving live broadcast tv, but unless it becomes an official government mouthpiece it’s unlikely to become something we pay for out of taxes.
The ideal scenario is that we get good old Gay Space Communism™ but until then it’s probably going to be mutual aid and community organisation that keep the rest of us semi-functioning.
I feel this way about most love recordings of podcasts (or anything for that matter, with the exception of standup comedy) - if I wanted live episodes I’d go see them live.
My phone service provider used to do daily roulette type giveaways.
I won a free return flight to basically anywhere in Europe.
I actually never did anything with it, because at the time I couldn’t afford to pay for someone else to go with me (I would have gone with my partner).
I regret not just flying on my own, but them’s the rubs - I was, and am, a bit of an idiot.
I also once won a game key by making a funny YouTube comment on a Unit Lost video once too - but I never used that either; it wasn’t a game I was interested in, I just liked to watch the vids for a bit of a laugh.
I don’t win much, but when I do I squander my wins.
I’m 35. The older I’ve got the more I’ve understood about the world and the more left wing I’ve become.
The best part is it all started because as a religious child I got into red letter stuff, and took “love thy neighbour” to heart.
This is true. But in my experience most places selling plant based burgers have gone for the “fake meat” option which, frankly, is unbelievably annoying - at least in the UK (where I am).
If the food is highly processed (like PLNT’s burgers) then it makes sense that it would be more expensive than animal products as the infrastructure to produce it doesn’t exist on nearly the same scale.
I’m lacto-ovo veggie and the number of people who can’t fathom that I don’t eat meat (in the UK where it’s really quite common) is mind boggling.
“What, not even fish?” 🙄 No, mate, if it has a face I won’t eat it, but thanks.
People also tie flavours to specific foods. I have a friend who has a north African partner and they tell me often they’d go veggie if it weren’t for their partners chicken “which is so much better than ours”. No shit, he uses a fuck ton of spice and lemons. If you threw that on some veggies it would be a pretty close flavour experience. I get missing a texture (slow cooked beef? I miss that) but the flavour thing just doesn’t add up to me.
The right answer is “yes”. Some cash in the moment is a nice thing to do, and will alleviate an immediate want or need potentially.
Donation to an organisation that will help the problem long term is a worthwhile thing to fund.
Why not give a man a fish to eat while you’re teaching them to fish for themselves, if you’re in a position to do so?
You could have asked him what he wanted first, if anything at all?
It smacks of elitism, that’s all.
The OS is simply a means to an end. If Linux offers a way to do what they want in a way that is less hassle, and it meets their needs, then that’s a good thing.
What restrictions do you have? I understand that nobody is an island, rather that it can sometimes be helpful to reframe things in your mind.
Obviously there are immovable restrictions (you are a carer to family, or can’t leave an area for any number of reasons), but sometimes it can be helpful to view things from a different angle.
