Cool, no more need for American military bases in our countries then. Or sharing intelligence with them. Or propping up their arms industry.

Pretty interesting after Robin Wright’s role in The Congress.

I am drunk. I wish you hadn’t suggested that.

So anyway, what are the pros and cons?

Why did that happen?

New linux user goes online to find out how to list installed packages in the terminal. Starts removing the ones they don’t recognise.

Blobby Volley

Shit, I’ve done that!

bypassing the package manager (especially installing with curl | sudo sh

I’ll admit that I’ve done this with a few things that I wanted to install but weren’t in my repo…

It’s pretty amazing isn’t it?! There’s no way that I would have had the time and patience set up a server without it.

Check out Ardour for music production. You should be able to get older versions for free on most distributions or get the current version for a donation via their website.

Interesting, I didn’t know that. Is that controlled by the operating system or something else? I’m curious about whether my Debian laptop does the same.

Do you know if hugo blogs can federate?

Bitcoin is NOT based on thin air.

It’s based on wasting loads of electricity.

Is Coreboot not fully open source?

Yeah, I’m still getting updates on my 2017 Dell Latitude!

I am honoured.

If either of my parents could use a computer it would run linux.

But then I have to do all of their online tasks anyway, so technically they are using linux.

I find it great and in fact I prefer some things to photoshop, like the default keyboard shortcuts, saves as a project file, better filters, amazing plugins, full control over preferences and scriptability. I also prefer the foreground select tool and unified transform tool. There are a few things that PS does better though, like its warp tool and custom print settings, plus obviously nondestructive editing (coming in next GIMP release). People shit on GIMP way more than it deserves. I put it down to a) sunk costs in learning Photoshop b) slow development in the past and c) groupthink/fashionable.
