It’s the European version yeah. I pirated a copy of eu windows and don’t have any of that trash either.

No.

Sure thing bud.

So living in a rural area is a poor lifestyle choice?

Where do you think your food comes from?

You anticar zealots are out of touch with reality.

Sometimes older, tried and true packages is what you want in prod.

Drives me nuts but so does debugging issues because someone ran yum install on some unsupported package

Oh I meant “piracy” friendly. Drop books into calibre, plug kobo into laptop, sync calibre to kobo. Boom, 1000 books loaded up and ready to go.

That said: it’s also very privacy friendly for me, because I’ve literally never connected it to WiFi or any kind of network.

My daily driver for reading is the Apple Books app on my phone, which syncs to my iCloud Drive containing my calibre library as well. But my kobo is the bomb for travel.

Kobo , hands down.

Factorio. I think I’m 300 or so hours into the new expansion save, and 4000h total playtime.

Yeah it’s amazing. It’s my go to reader for vacations, have it at the pool and beach. I don’t know about waterproof per se, but it’s resisted kids splashing me and me dropping it a bunch.

Sorry, I strip it from Amazon ebooks. There’s a plugin for calibre called deDRM that does it, it’s pretty simple once you get it setup.

Just import book, and the drm is gone.

I got the kobo bw. I spent a weekend downloading all 500some ebooks I’ve purchased off Amazon (which they do not make easy) to my laptop. Then I imported them into calibre, stripped all drm, and loaded them onto the kobo.

It’s great, I love it.

Coward shit.

Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

Cynical is a word used by the frightened to describe the realistic.

Voodoo Monster 3D

Edit: wait I misread the assignment. That’s the first 3D accelerator I bought. I have no idea what my first gfx card was it was like 37 years sgo.

lol what, a graph database for spreadsheet work?

Well if you want to be the one who retrofits google cloud to support it more widely, go to town. But I’m sure as hell not going to bother, I have other work to do. And also I don’t work at google.

Cloud infra engineer here.

Answer: I don’t think about it. Nothing fully supports it, so we pretend it doesn’t exist.

I have a closet in my home office. On the floor of it is a sleeping mat and soft blanket as the base, and I have a weighted blanket on top. When I start getting overwhelmed (or just need a quick mid-day nap) I’ll go in there, close the door, and lie down for a bit. It’s isolated and quiet.

When my cat hears that door open she will rush to be included, and will cuddle with me.

:3 why thank you

Zoloft and caffeine. Both are very hard, in different ways.
