Single uncle with 2 nieces is where it’s at 😉

Because I know how much my funeral would suck

Hannah Montana Linux. Unironically.

I’m not familiar with all of them, but I know several of them are tools. Isn’t it in apple’s best interest to open source the tools if people use and improve them, and subsequently it means they get more money from the app store? And if these are the only things they open source, they still have a tight fist on the vast majority of their code base.

While on the subject of apple and FOSS. They may open source some tools, but do they give back to other projects? I.e. does apple push upstream? Substantially less than google and ms. And I would go so far to say almost never.

I’ve enjoyed Proton for several years, except there ia no Linux desktop client. I intend to test installing the client in a virtual machine running windows, and then use shared folders.

Maybe the destination was more important than the journey

There are some gaps in the numbers. That could be the case. Was it for all of the ones you tried to download?

That’s a very good question. It was a few years ago, but it’s running right now on my computer on Linux.

Neo launcher does that

A friend of mine and I put this together a few years ago. I hope yall find it helpful:

Agreed. Yet to find a true replacement

People like when other people care about them and one way to show that is to remember their name. Some people are too self important and think everyone should remember their name. We have a name for that. It’s Asshole.

Knowing people’s names isn’t about hearing it once and remembering. It’s about learning people’s names and forming relationships. Here are some ways I learn names

When you meet someone and they tell you their name repeat it to them. When you ask them a question, address them by name. Use their name more than you think you should.

…And when you inevitably forget their name, apologize and ask again. Before they even know you forgot. Sometimes (most of the time) they don’t remember your name either.

Better still. Apologize, tell them you forgot, and ask them if you can guess. You know what you think it was. Was it close to Jason? Do I look like a Jason to you? Well, actually… (better conversation than what preceded)

Use mnemonics. A girl in my class sat three from the end. Her name was Trinity. Zoe and kYm were next to each other in the back of the room. YZ. Use your penchant for location as a tool rather than excuse.

Deliberately read nametags. At the supermarket checkout. Security guards. Janitors. Doesn’t matter. Thank them by name. This is EXACTLY what their tags are for. Use them! This is good practice for when it “actually matters” or an easy way to be decent to other people.

I pissed a kid off in college the whole time I knew him by calling him the wrong name. I didn’t know what his name was, but I did know that wasn’t it.

Depends how long it takes to poop or fall asleep in a given day

Make a list of foss companies you’d like to work for. Scroll to the bottom of their webpages and look for careers.

What is it you’d like to do? You might be able to do it with ssh

Declare yourself a member of The Church of Emacs and claim your religious rights are being violated.

Where is the head and foot of the bed? Where are the top and the bottom? If the bed were stood up on the foot, is the top the front or the back? These questions may have something to do with the answer or are completely meaningless.

Laptops often have open slots for hard drives. With his permission open the back and see if he has one. Bonus points for replacing his win10 hd with a 1tb. He’d probably appreciate it enough to give Linux another go
