I used to run Ubuntu, but started liking it less and less.

After jumping around for a while, I settled on Mint. It is really nice, stable and easy to use for beginners, but everything is there for advanced users also.

What are people doing with their laptops, mine never break, except one time when I knocked a cup of water into one in 2005.

My latest one, Asus Zenbook is already 3 years old and no issues. Has a dent in the top cover where a nurse kicked my bag when I was in hospital.

My previous one, a dell Inspiron which my 9yo has had for 2 years, is 6 years old, he is not gentle.

Previous to that, I had a work supplied Alienware that lasted 7 years, I traveled internationally with that one quite a few times.

Not sure if I’m lucky, or more careful than average. But I hear about “build quality” issues a lot in internet posts. I’ve just never seen it in the wild…

Note: all ran/run various flavours of Linux.

I didn’t know who he was, so had a quick read of his Wikipedia page

Robinson was drafted for service during World War II but was court-martialed for refusing to sit at the back of a segregated Army bus, eventually being honorably discharged.

What a legend.

So ramp up tension with either Canada or Mexico; then manufacture some incident and invade to “protect democracy” or some shit…bada bing bada boom, a nice little war and the ability to declare martial law.

U+0088 = HTS Character Tabulation Set. Latin-1 Supplement.
U+0078 = Latin Small Letter X (dec 120) U+0058 = Latin Capital Letter X (dec 88)

It’s more effective with the X.

Also is the first meme I made, took 5 minutes. You can figure it out, be a creator, I believe in you.

X is used in maths to describe the unknown in equations. It entered pop-culture representing the unknown/mysterious or the different.

Musk uses it to symbolise difference or breaking from the past, which is ironic as he is becoming the modern embodiment of failed ideologies.

The world currently

I’m just using gadget bridge now, most of the original functionality is gone. I can’t be arsed jumping through the hoops to install the original pebble app on my phone.

I asked my partner if she wanted a new pebble, she has a nice little Garmin, her response:

I do like my Garmin in terms of a watch and the feel but the app is shit

Funny how she lost her last one:

Her strap broke on the pebble time, my (at the time) 15 month old saw it on the bench, and asked why she wasn’t wearing it. She said it is broken, a few days later she was going to get a new strap and the watch was gone. The 15 month old, had thrown it in the bin…rubbish day had already happened.

It has the screen tearing issue, which can’t be fixed because it is one of the original ones which are glued together.

I have to have it on the analogue watch face so the screen refreshes every second. But it has outlasted the 4 other watches I tried.

I am wearing my OG Kickstarter Pebble right now, 12 years and still getting 8 days battery out of it.

I think I will be getting a new Core Time 2

Edit: added picture

The court fool

I kinda hate Poe’s law

Perfect response, how to show an AI sweating…

Ok, now we have AGI.

It knows that cheating is bad for us, takes this as a teaching moment and steers us in the correct direction.

I’d buy that for a dollar.

Yep, infinity is not a defined number.

1/0=?..how many times does 0 fit into 1?

Is could be argued that 0/0=1
since x/x=1
Subbing in x=0 gives the above.

Complicating things is x/0=infinity
Subbing in x=0 gives a contradictory answer.

I went to help out a friend, a few years ago, he runs vanilla Edge, I can’t believe anyone actually uses the internet like that.
