Nice! My first distro was Kubuntu back in 2016. Pop OS is pretty solid and a good distro to try out, too- just stay curious and you’ll probably find yourself hopping around from thing to thing for a while. Enjoy

Sorry, I’m not seeing the previous one (even after refreshing, changing sort order, etc). Maybe something weird going on with my instance

#1 is Guyana, for anyone curious

I think more regional / city instances would be great. Seems like a natural way to consolidate activity around local content, meetups, activism, etc etc while also staying totally connected to everything else

Long train trips and subway rides are pretty ideal. Mainly since they get rid of that nagging sense of whatever other things I “could be doing” in those moments (going to the gym, practicing an instrument etc)

The Pinetime’s a solid FOSS watch, actually. Assuming you’re ok with pretty basic use cases (for now), it’s easily worth the $30ish to get one

The vast majority of federal cases end with a plea deal. Any idea if that could include forfeiting any right to run for public office? Would be great for peace of mind if so

Using a second-gen kindle Oasis, which is great hardware (aside from using the wrong charging port). DRM ebooks from Amazon are definitely not great though, so I keep it in airplane mode at all times and load it up via calibre.

Can’t imagine applying to work for an ad company in the first place.

Hope this brings us one step closer to never having to hear about him again.

Ubuntu at home (with sway), and unfortunately macOS for work (with its badly-broken and nonsensical window management)

No question, removing swappable batteries was pretty brazenly consumer-hostile.

One of the main reasons I’m 100% on board with stuff like the Pinephone, at least in theory (just wish Linux phones were actually ready to be used as phones… maybe in another couple of years).

I’m on a Sony Xperia 10 IV now. Amazing battery life, decent for one-handed use, has a headphone jack, SD slot, and meh camera. Mostly solid overall- agree the situation’s getting worse and worse every year

I’ve been voting with my wallet on this one for years- no headphone jack, no purchase

I’d vote for Windows 2000, but the point stands. All it needed (in hindsight) was virtual desktops

The only exceptions I can think of are streaming services that simply couldn’t exist as standalone one-off products (Spotify, Netflix etc). But yeah, there’s no logical reason something like Photoshop should ever require more than one transaction.

Technically I’m not, but fair point

True, or maybe I’ve actually gone too far back to the pre-boomer era with this one

Alcohol is toxic, carcinogenic garbage and we’d be noticeably better off if everyone voluntarily stopped drinking it.

The world is a slightly better place without him in it.
