Sorry, but Spotify Discover Weekly of course.
And I also always have Shazam ready to go for when out and about.
35 y/o orange Opel Kadett. Would stall when cornering. Funily enough at the same time also the best car I owned. Fixed it once using the belt from my pants. Belt was on there for years.
19·3 months agoMy partner introduced me to the Dutch “112” app (112 is the emergency telephone number in Europe).
I hope I never need it of course, but if I do it automatically shares my location and it allows me to chat instead of call if I would be in a situation that requires that.
Also, I really enjoy Jepster as my biking computer when cycling. The guy that built it is also very approachable when you find a problem, which is great.
And when you’re planning to get kids have a look at “Kinder”…
Italians die regardless. If it tastes good, go your gang, live a little. I put mayonaise on my frozen pineapple/ham pizza. Best hangover breakfast ever.
According to Rutger Bregman: just give it away to people who don’t have it.
It used to be just because I was interested. Then life got in between and I ditched it a bit, until Microsoft announced that “find anything you ever did”-feature. I installed Ubuntu again after quite a few years and stayed because I finally did not have to spend 3 days to get my video card working “kinda” and I found out my games actually work. No need to use Windows anymore.
If you were my neighbour I would love it if you notified my of the danger. I’d also say that if they give you a negative response they will move soon so there’s no risk really
Git, by Linus? Maybe even linux itself? Ok actually Linus might just be Steve Wozniak without an annoying Steve Jobs guy next to him, while actually being a lot bigger than Apple maybe?
4·5 months agoThis morning I was still awake, my veines exploding because of all the “anti-sleep medication”, having a quick cool-down from the party still going on inside, when I hear someone randomly say: “yeahh rm -rf!”. One thing let to another…
Linux skills make you friends as well as get you jobs.

I started with HTML and CSS because I liked to build my own useless small websites. Then I noticed it was nice to copy+paste some javascript scripts someone else wrote into them to get some “fun” interactive components. Then I slowly started to make little changes to those scripts and that way slowly learned more and more. It was not the quickest way to learn, but the most fun, because there was little setup necessary (I literally used windows notepad to save files as .html and opened them in my browser) and I could quickly see results.
Since you’re interested in FOSS I assume you use an OS with a nice terminal. You could write some bash scripts to do simple tasks for you maybe? (Maybe write a script that removes old downloads from your downloads folder, or something that can delete all files that end in ‘.temp’ (IDK just stupid ideas that could be fun to try to start coding).
Python is a nice option as well, it has a lot of useful options and documentation and gives you very readable code, making it easier to learn good practices!
Just make sure you do something fun and you will learn what’s necessary along the way.
#1 sponsor is Shopify, how does that affect the indepentness?
Maybe it’s the first way to filter applicants? Smort!
Apples?
Approximately 750,000 years ago: early Paleolithic food gatherers in (modern) Kazakhstan, central Asia, discovered sour crab apples growing wild in the forest.
Pretty much the entire internet runs on Linux already.
For personal users I think a stable, well supported, secure and privacy focused version will help. Also, it helps if this is the version your “computer-guy” uses, the guy that you (or your mom) call(s) when your computer is broken.
Jeans, plain merino tshirt (no stink) and Jim Green African Ranger barefoot shoes (because so comfortable!)
Work in IT.
What worked for me was to stop seeing friends that smoked and to go for a run every time I felt like getting a cigarette, instead of getting the cigarette.
