A traffic jam when you’re already late

Year of the Linux Desktop may never be a relevant measure, but it was Steam Deck and Proton that marked the transition for me.

The deck is awesome because it’s Linux

Everyone says ‘listen’ but I would suggest one way to act on that advice. This is more of a general parenting advice for small kids (or all kids?).

Let them choose what to do. If their interested in soccer, give that a try. If they want to learn about ants, let them observe, guide them through the thoughts.

Play is dictated by their interests, not your expectations or dreams. This way there is much less struggle, save for the times you really need, and learning and play get tied together.

A friend of mine mentioned ‘Contact’ was the perfect film. I thought about it for some time and found that I agree. The plot, casting, filmography, and score are all top notch.

Beyond favorite there are quite a few films I consider ‘done’ we don’t need sequels or remakes. Most recently the original ‘Willy Wonka’ came to mind.

Was going to recommend this too. Sometimes Google integration just works. Wish they kept the “don’t be evil” ethos.

While I find the Canadian tuxedo slightly dubious male fashion advice, I enjoy the conversation and would also like to know

It depends on the brand. Western rice cookers have a keep warm feature that I wouldn’t trust.

Zorushi and Cuckoo that keep the rice under pressure at around 140F will keep for 2-3 days. https://kitchencuddle.com/rice-cookers-that-keep-rice-warm-for-days/

Would serial Experiments Lain count? Anime series that seems to change after each rewatch.

Still have the quake 3 Linux tin box around here somewhere…

I confused Franklin for Edison (!) and almost gave you a downvote for an excellent troll.

Is there a way to watch old threads? I want to tag an empty discussion, get notifications when it becomes active (maybe digest mode to avoid spam)

I have FOMO on good content that isn’t active yet.

Is this already a thing? FYI using sync app most of the time.

I’m saving this comment. Brilliant synopsis of the great mustard wars. Let’s hope AI doesn’t learn from this. 😉

Was going to comment about how there is a stock photo for everything. Fingers seem too good for AI?

Nevermind, that kids right hand… 😅

Quake? The FPS? I’m confused, though I knew a little about Linux

It’s really neat to think of Usenet as ‘federated’ considering that’s a new term for most of us.

My preferred options are: Binsearch, astraweb, and newsbin

You get what you pay for, a bargain IMHO
