I read the books as they came out and loved them. i tried watching the series as it was coming out but they really were so different from the books that when I had to wait for the next season I never picked it back up.

Are they worth watching though? If I go into it knowing it’ll be basically something loosely related?

Whenever this question comes up, I think the distro is less important than the desktop environment. If they feel more comfortable in Windows, go with something that provides KDE. If Mac, go with Gnome. Once they get used to it, let them go through the rite of passage that is distro hopping.

That said, and I know everyone recommends Mint or Ubuntu, and they’re fine, but you could do better. I like the immutable distros for people who just want to use their computer without thinking about it. They aren’t able to mess with anything important that keeps the computer running, and as long as they restart the computer, it’s always up to date. It’s like a Chromebook, which is the level most people are with computers.

This is the only answer, regardless of the question.

How did you learn it? I’ve always wanted to learn, but never really knew how to get into it.

na you’re missing something

I guess we didn’t save the cheerleader then

Fourthing Actual. I download OFX files from my credit card and bank and import them and it’s all pretty easy. Never tried paying for the banksync option.

Others have already said it, funerals are for the living. As long as you’re honest with yourself (this doesn’t seem to be about religion, rather shitty family) and you understand the consequences of your actions, you’re an adult, do what you want.

Will it cause a scandal if you don’t go? Probably. Is that something you’re prepared for? Can you deal with that fallout?

The people in this thread exclaiming you must go, it’s family! likely don’t come from families with shitty relations and themselves feel some societal obligation to go to a funeral no matter what. Geography doesn’t matter for honouring the dead. You go to comfort and commiserate with the survivors. If that’s not important to you, do it in your own way. There is no wrong way to grieve or mourn someone’s passing (obviously within reason).

What the effin’ crap? That angel kid just felt me up!

Ordered delivery from across the street because it was raining and I didn’t want to…

Not saying anything about the price tag, but I loved Madrid’s metro when I lived there. I never checked timetables, I just left my flat around the same time each day and there was always a train arriving within about three minutes max during the busy hours.

Many options, including ones others have mentioned.

I don’t know anything, but I often find what I’m looking for on irc…

I’ve used Street Complete, but that’s as far as I’ve gotten. Did you just learn by figuring it out, or is there something you’d recommend to get one’s feet wet?

I wouldn’t do it personally, but I appreciate that you could keep the old silver lid and swap in a new black bottom cover, throw in a colourful bezel and have yourself a nice Frankenstein’d laptop.

I believe they said the only thing you couldn’t swap into your old 13 is the new battery. For that you’ll need the new chassis to get it to fit. Everything else you could replace.

I’ve been playing with Kagi as an alternative to, well you know. In their app, they have an option for an AI assistant and you can limit it to what it searches, and the first option after “Entire Web” is “Fediverse Forums”. So that’s a thing.

Uso “vosotros” pero vivía en España cuando aprendí. Pero la verdad es no estoy seguro de cómo se usa “usted” y me da miedo preguntar. 😂

Given what happened when Brits were deported months to a year after Brexit, surprised that it would affect them, I’m not really surprised.

This doesn’t affect me at all, so I’m speculating and willing to be wrong. But the way the Guardian described it was that this change was published last October on governmental websites, but never disseminated to the media or people in general, which is why people were caught unawares. If true, it feels an awful bit like

“But Mr Dent, the plans have been available in the local planning office for the last nine months.”

“Oh yes, well as soon as I heard I went straight round to see them, yesterday afternoon. You hadn’t exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them, had you? I mean, like actually telling anybody or anything.”

“But the plans were on display …”

“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”

“That’s the display department.”

“With a torch.”

“Ah, well the lights had probably gone.”

“So had the stairs.”

“But look, you found the notice didn’t you?”

“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard’.”
