  • I’m running PopOS on a computer for wathing media at home. I’m not too impressed. I read a bunch of comment threads recommening it so I treid it out. They seem a bit unstable – that at least falls in OP middle ground. I made an update and dpms management was just different, like the screen is no longer turning itself off. I’ve had some thing like this happen on it. It’s not breakage, it’s a bit annoying. “Just works”? Eh, sure, kinda’.











  • Hm, I guess it is not a straight forward way to define a map like this that work for every county. But take Yorkshire for example. York is after Jore, or Jorvik, which means Horse, or horsebay. But before that it had other names, and the founding name by the romans was Eboracum, celtic borrowed phrase for yew tree place. But as I understand it, it is not really etymologially connected “yew tree” and “york”. Or?
