Why not just make a good enough laptop for a cheap price ?

You can have a good laptop or a cheap one, not both.

This is my Linux Mint Cinnamon dressed up as Windows XP. How much more Windowsy would you like it ;-)

I run Linux Mint Cinnamon, latest version, on a GPD Pocket 2 with absolutely no issues. The touch screen, although it is a small one, works perfectly.

You are a fair bitch. People working the carnival / fair scene don’t have the best of reputation. In Belgium we had a song about this phenomenon and the real fair people were all kinds of angry about the stereotype. The thing is about stereotypes: it really has a base in reality.

No matter how much you invest you’re time and effort for your job: You are expendable, and the only people who will know you were absent from home because of work 20 years later, will be your kids.

It should have fallen on her manager to handle, and she should have put her foot down on that.

Head of HR is Linus’ wife. Yes, it is that bad. Even telling her manager, would have netted zero result.

Tip? It is just a means to an end.

Just bought the Suzuki Ignis, a mild hybrid. Have to wait until December, but it will be my favorite car real quick.

Who said they’re aliens?

Duvel, Belgium’s premium beer. Duvel translates to Devil, the beer most preferred by Joe Cocker and the reason he wouldn’t return to Belgium because it would be the end of him. Looking back he had a point. (1944-2014)

My main OS since Linux Mint 17.3, and still very happy with it. Switched from MacOS after a 10 year Apple stint and haven’t regretted it for even a second. My hardware needs were much cheaper if anything.

After whining for a long time my mom let me see Carrie on a Wednesday afternoon, the Sissy Spacek version. After watching it pretty unscathed to the end the scene came where they show her grave and the hand rises up from the grave…My first official jump scare and since I still remember it today, it has left quite the impression.

And the kicker: the config files show 99% were extracted from Debian Linux. Own Chinese distro, my ass.

Proof the bald dude did something right in his life.

Didn’t the EU do the same shortly after Space Karen bought Twitter? I believe I saw an article around the time I started my Mastodon account.

My smelling sense went away around 2005, so I’m happy to report this question is not applicable to me. Sadly it took away some percentage of my taste too.

Pay the new car I just signed for, buy a teardrop trailer and go camping out in Europe.

Similar things happened when Twitter screwed the pooch and you’d mention Mastodon to people.

Depends on your usage. I used it many times to get support for various services I paid for and didn’t get help using the regular channels. A public tweet to the company’s Twitter handle about an issue did wonders. Besides that I used it to follow like minded people in the same hobbies as me. I did nuke my account when Space Karen took over.
