At least you didn’t have to worry about Ruin manipulating it.

… Sorry, I’ve been reading the Mistborn series and just finished “The Hero of Ages”

Not at all. It’s more of “I’m used to windows, change is scary”

There are still some things that are win/mac only and if you’re heavily invested in them it can be hard to migrate to Linux based FOSS alternatives (or, VM/WINE/etc). But, most “normal” (non-geek) people aren’t keen on throwing away all of their experience on one specific application to learn a new, different, one… Regardless of feature parity.

I haven’t looked in several years, but noob friendly CAD is one example. I ended up using browser based ones since I couldn’t find an easy offline one. “Easy” is the key here - there are pretty great FOSS CAD suites, they just aren’t super friendly to stupid people (me).

Though, that may have changed, if you’ve got recommendations please let me know.

Similar : my spouse was complaining about how slow her laptop was and that she’d probably have to buy a new one. I popped a bootable Mint USB in and she was impressed that it was “like new”.

I left her on the bootable for a week as a trial then installed it to the HD. 99% of what she does is browser based anyway.

I’m both amused and mildly offended by the latter part of this comment.

… Well done, 10/10, no notes.

1901-01-01? Me too!

Good to meet you birthday buddy

Mine are named after the penguins from the Madagascar movie : Skipper, Private, Kowalski, and Rico.

Unfortunately there’s only four so I often supplement with a suffix. For example, I’ve got an old windows laptop kicking around that is “rico-w”

… I should really commit to a naming scheme with a wider array of options.

Second this. Think I heard about it on lemmy, been using it ever since. Built in editing, copy to clipboard, save to file, all the stuff I need.

I don’t have kids, so yeah.

Edit: now that I scroll through the comments, I see this is a common theme.

The last one is now a governor.

… So apparently it pays to vomit lies that align with whatever he says. Seems the people love it.

I was going to post this but Lemmy told me your post was already here… nice.

I’ve been using Linux everyday for around 25 years and I’d never heard of the column command somehow!

Especially when vi is better

Fight me🤺

(I kid, I kid, but not entirely ;)

It’s fine.

The occasional complaint I see is not enough that I’ve considered moving and I don’t even remember what those were. But the great thing about the fediverse is that you can move if you want!

But I should procrastinate paying my taxes until the last minute, yes? I have 1099 income that doesn’t have taxes pre deducted from it, there’s I always have to pay in (which is fine, I budget for it)

Work on the chicken coop, work on the truck, and then see about hanging a solar Meshtastic node that I recently finished building.

I’ll find something else to screw up and cause it to break, don’t worry.

Not sure yet, we’ve just been gawking at it and haven’t eaten it yet.

… I sense a follow up post.

Oddly, in the US at a local hardware store. I bought it specifically because it had metric on it and was small. Metric system, best system.

All from adult (2.5 year old) hens within a one week span 🤷

EDIT: also, one particular hen routinely lays those large, weird, elongated eggs. She’s a buff orpington

I support it!

No, all of our hens are “normal” sized layers - speckled sussex, buff orpington, white leghorn, and black stars. Based on the color of the egg, I think it was from a speckled sussex.
