Mint is fine.

I ended up formatting one of my drives I didn’t mean to.

Ouch. Did that once or twice with really important data, resulting in all-night sessions with photorec/testdisk and secondary and tertiary storage. Files restored, but just the directory structure and filenames missing can be a huge downside.

Wake from sleep is a thorn in linux’s side.

Has been working fine on my laptops for years, across Arch and Debian. Maybe because they’re both ThinkPads.

TBF I have nothing against the hipster look - except for the various beards and 'staches. I tried it: a sculpted beard is a fuckton of work, like a second hairdo basically. It also requires appropriate growth; not all men have it.

the “hipster” look is alive an well with all the guys who opened overpriced barbecue or taco joints that serve whiskey and tequila.

Also dads who took up brewing as a hobby (at least around here)

Yep. And more likely in large cities than the rugged outback.

Does this mean Terminal is installed but one can only use it when one is logged into the store?

Or maybe I don’t understand Windows logic; it’s been over a decade for me.

Qt does render fonts differently than GTK.

He won’t. He’s a has-been in the MAGAsphere. Fucker Carlson, as far as podcasters go, maybe. Or Nick Fuentes. Not AJ though. I know it sounds weird, but give KnowledgeFight a listen, it’s fun. I like the main guys analyses, and they’re always looking at the bigger picture.

They’re both already using Noto Sans

For all/relevant encodings?

Have you considered that maybe Noto developers made a choice there, to render Kanjoi thicker than Chinese characters? I know, that doesn’t explain why Dolphin would render them in a way that is more pleasing to you. Have you tried using other fonts altogether?

I like the attention to detail: him biting his lower lip.

And I believe that detail betrays the whole “Roman Salute” bs - he knew exactly he was being a bad boy.

Every now and then somebody will mention him in a podcast or so, usually in relation to our main guy here, or Alex Jones. Oops, bet you didn’t think about him for a long time either. I have to admit I just love the KnowledgeFight podcast.

bird? bomb?

We’re all just beta testers.

$ fc-match “default font” NotoSans-Regular.ttf: “Noto Sans” “Regular”

That’s not what I meant. You mention differences between dolphin (not ok) and Firefox (ok). So you need to check what they use as default fonts respectively. If there are differences you know what to do.

The use of litotes is common in English, Russian, German, Yiddish, Dutch, Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, Ukrainian, Polish, Chinese, French, Czech and Slovak, and is prevalent in some other languages and dialects. It is a feature of Old English poetry and of the Icelandic sagas and is a means of much stoical restraint.

So not ALL languages? TIL

Oh, I see it now. Yeah, another 5 minutes wasted.

TikTok outrages should never become news headlines.

But it’s the Daily Fail, so 🤷

That said - as if he could tell what each one would taste like.

I’ve been having the weirdest dreams recently, and of course I remember them all!

• I found a door in a wall, hip height and small, and there was a toilet behind it. OK, I thought, I need to take a shit anyhow. Entered, lowered my pants, and sat down. But due to the small door I did not notice that this room has a second half, with a table and chairs, and my relatives sitting around it. Neither of us minded though, and I continued taking a shit. It was one of those really bad ones that make me use tons of toilet paper. Well, I finished at last and was overcome by endless enbarassment, like what about the smell etc.

• I worked in a school as a substitute teacher and a fire broke out in an area I was responsible for. I did not notice immediately (bad). But one kid did. Instead of simply opening the door to where I was and telling me, he invented a morse machine out of a plastic tube and morsed SOS out the window. I did manage to extinguish the fire, and later all the parents and coworkers came and of course it was all my fault and the kid was the hero of the day.

Feeling super weird after these, but esp. the first one. I didn’t even need to take a shit when I woke up. Like, wtf brain, that’s not one of my major fears!

Thank you for coming to my dream talk.

I fast forwarded these. I also didn’t like the airport security stuff.

But I like how e.g. they pun on their own age when having these team talks about their programme. Some bits in that section are really timely, and not just because they mention social media. Like one of the younger upstarts being uncomfortable because they aren’t sure if what they just said was transphobic or not. That sort of stuff.

I used to have a static IP at home so I cold run my own physical server. I stuck it under the fridge because there were wall plugs and I didn’t want it in my living room. Hence the name.

It used to serve NFS shares locally, websites and CalDAV/CardDAV globally. A dual-core-but-32-bit stone old intel processor, 2GB of RAM, and never a performance problem.
