Yeah, happens to me all the time as well. People specifically ask me not to commit acts of genocide in a specific population, and I just accidentally bomb them anyway a few hours later.

It’s truly tragic, but there’s really nothing I can do about it, and I honestly wish people would stop bitching about it.

Also Telegram is growing shadier day by day. Signal is the way to go.

The spelling thing bothers me a lot. I don’t want to catch bad habits of writing shitty just because it’s whatever seems trendy at the moment.

People used to give me shit for not using smileys, so I started adding :) everywhere in text messages. Then people told me I seem passive aggressive because I use :) instead of emojis.

Joke’s on them. I could never be arsed to use emojis outside of very specific contexts, and now gen Zs are making fun of them for looking like boomers with their dumb emoji use. Apparently I still come across as passive aggressive though.

Often people are looking for some sort of validation, even when it’s not obvious.

If they say “I can’t join you in the bar today, I have too much work to catch up on”, “K.” is not a good answer. Several aspects needs to be addressed, ideally:

1. That’s too bad
2. Next time
3. Commentary on the state of work: Keep your head above water/your boss is such a jerk/we’ll make up for it after your deadline on Thursday/whatever, depending on the situation and your relationship.

Basically, it’s a way to show that you care about what they’re telling you. It can be a bit exhausting at times.

Is Linux Mint well adapted for touch screens?

I think I would go for GNOME if I were to use Linux with a touch screen. Then again, I’m using it anyway, so I’m probably biased.

If you don’t have any luck dumpster diving it might be worth checking if any of your local supermarkets (or even bakeries) are using Too Good to Go. They decide how much to put in the package, but a generous place will give you a bunch of food for very little money.

And make damn sure it’s an underground railroad. It’s far too risky to put them on a plane.

The Simpsons gig is of course beautifully referenced to in Banksy’s couch gag.

The world is full of surprises!

Clearly Mike needs to stop being absurd.

Let’s see if Loops can fill the gap. Not sure if an open source alternative could generate enough hype to be viable - maybe if TikTok is banned in the US or something.

It’s just an app, yeah.

OpenStreetMaps is amazing, but it is a map, not a whole ecosystem like Google Maps is. As a map I find it’s often better than Google Maps, but what is still lacking are good front-ends implementing a wide range of functionality in a user friendly way.

On desktop I often use GNOME Maps, but it leaves a lot to be desired still and is obviously intended for Linux users running GNOME.

Not happy with OrganicMaps? It’s my personal favourite at least, and completely open source. Probably depends what your needs are. :)

It’s not very newsworthy perhaps, but seems relevant for a union community.

When seen in relation to what has happened over at Boeing it’s a decent reminder of the role of unions not only in ensuring worker’s rights, but also in guaranteeing quality and safety for consumers.

Indeed, thanks!

It should certainly spice up performances of John Cage’s As Slow as (legally) Possible.

I’m sure you’re aware of it already, but WineHQ provides a good overview over which software runs well under WINE. :)

Very educational, thanks for sharing!
