What a gorgeous shot. Perfect.

Savage 😂

I’ve lived in London half my life and I’d still ask you if you’re ok and offer you a bro hug. Now, if you’re a lass that’s a different dynamic and I’d probably just ask if you’re ok.

Not born a Londoner, but also don’t give a toss about being perceived as weird for being friendly.

She doesn’t even let us brush her. Her fur is as soft as a chinchilla’s.

Well, I celebrate your lunacy and perseverance. Maybe go all out in a few comments. It’s like a puzzle.

Shavian, right?

Edit: while some might think it nuts (it’s not like GBS was universally received, he was deliberately inconsistent), the idea of rebaselining phonetics from scratch was impressive.

My wife is still on Mac OSX, but my son has embraced Mint. I’m a bit cheesed off that there aren’t (obviously) many kid friendly programming tutorial resources, other than maybe getting a sub to codeacademy. Other than that, all good.

Or:

It took me a while to realise what this was. I thought a bigger kitty was eating a smaller kitty’s head.

Beautiful.

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.

She cancelled some concerts in Vienna recently following arrests and intel about ‘ISIS inspired’ threats.

Er, this is mine.

Tiktok afterwards please.

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.

Look, I have no love for Trump, but I agree. Also wtf is with these reports that people in the crowd were alerting cops to someone climbing on the roof and they seemed slow to process? Do they not have protocols and a radio channel to the secret service - even if they’re confused could they not have alerted someone more professional?

This shouldn’t have been allowed to happen. It’s a disgrace.

Electric jets? Is that a thing? How do they work?

FYI you can text the police (or any emergency service) in the UK if you pre register. Took me less than a minute to do.

Royally handsome. Beautiful coat.
