Nobody ever gives the cow any credit…

I misread you as saying “Thanks late stage filesystem.” 🤣

its five founding companies (AWS, Huawei, Google, Microsoft, and Mozilla).

In the darkened boardroom of ShittyStreamingService, the presentation continues:

“…and so we’ve set our price at $15 per month. This is a reasonable price that everyone in our target demographics can afford.”

What the numpties at ShittyStreamingService haven’t considered is that yes, maybe I can afford $15 per month. But I can’t afford it for each of the 7,836 different streaming/music/gaming services!!

Couple of things that might be useful:

• Setup remote desktop access using VNC/RDP. It can be useful to access your PC etc while using your phone or other devices. Or accessing a raspberry pi on your main PC
• Setup a virtual machine and install Windows in it. It might be a good way to think about migrating to linux as your main OS
• Steam. See how performance on Linux compares to Windows for your games.

THERE IS ONLY 8.3 AND THERE IS ONLY UPPERCASE

Anything original is regarded as sacrilege.

Anything referencing the past is boring and repetitive.

For mine, I found this closer to the first Alien movies, and enjoyed it as a break from feeling like the story had to take centre stage. Alien is all about the vibes, creeps and feels. That’s what I enjoyed about this one.

The sound/score was great, though I found some of the score a little delayed and over the top in emphasizing when something had happened “DUM-DUM-DUUUUMMMMMM”

I wasn’t much of the fan of the fast growing baby creature that some have referred to as baby Zuckerberg. Some of that reminded me of Species. Mind you, I’d watch Alien v Species. Or Alien v Thing. Or any combination v Predator.

The callbacks are starting to come across to me as lazy writing. Just repeating stuff from previous movies that ends up filling in time. Good for those that haven’t seen any of the previous movies I guess. I’m OK watching what’s basically a repeat movie once, but don’t do it again.

Seems obvious to me that now we’ve had Alien: Romulus the next is the Alien: Remus prequel.

Enjoyable return to original films:7/10

I’m certifiably insane, have a doctorate in frustration, and many studies published of “Oh, fuck, what is this? I don’t have time for this now, I have shit to get done”.

Good luck.

Without a VPN, your ISP will have some level of meta data. It may be as little as you did a DNS lookup of a pirate site and downloaded 2.14GB of data from that site.

Is that illegal? Depends on what country/state you are in.

One shop I was at had a manual process going with cash only purchases.

That blew up when I ordered 3 things and the ‘cashier’ didn’t know how to add them together. They didn’t have calculator on Windows available🤣

I told them the total and change to give me, but lent them the calculator on my phone so they could verify for themselves 🤣

• Excitedly get new machine. Install Debian.

• Not so excitedly search error messages.

• Dejectedly find need kernel/drivers that’s 18 months later than the Debian versions

• boot sysrescuecd to find next distro to write to USB drive …

• kick self for buying shiny, latest hardware without checking for linux support. Again…😡

The simple way is to dual boot or even simpler, set up a Linux distro in a Windows VM.

Let’s you play/see if the distro works for you.

TBH, I’ve got 1 machine where Windows is more problematic than the Ubuntu that is setup to dual boot… Can’t bring myself to do a fresh install of Windows lol…

Yeah, I realised that, but couldn’t resist it for the lols.

I think it could score a perfect zero by both not correctly comprehending and being offensive to whoever had the misfortune of marking it.

Artificial satellites? Just for fun, I’m interpreting that as fake communication satellites, so:

'Unlike traditional communication satellites, artificial communication satellites are not launched into space via costly rockets using environmentally unfriendly propellents.

Instead, Artificial Satellite Systems (or ASS) make use of artificial intelligence to communicate via Frequency Adjusted Radio Tower Systems (known as FARTS).

FARTS allow for rapid, ASS to ASS communication. Additionally, Multiplexed Over/Under The Horizon’ allows for increased speeds if ASS to MOUTH is enabled.’

Yeah, but did you include any biobs?

Offtopic, but what do you use for music?

Jesus Christ.

I use the calculator in Ubuntu tor very simple purposes. It was crashing on me every time I opened it.

I tracked down why.

It was trying to get a foreign currency exchange rate file - which I was horrified that you’d think about even having in a calculator.

The reason that was failing? Because I had a VPN enabled.

And it wouldn’t even fail gracefully. Nope it would poof, disappear.

The fix is to disable vpn, and disable foreign currency in the preferences.

I was so pissed off. And on the next upgrade the same thing happened, which I’d forgotten all about, so went through it AGAIN!
