Thanks for the suggestion I’ll follow it up!

I remember HATING clothes for Christmas. But now it’s all I want (so long as it’s my style). I don’t want random useless shit at Christmas, I want stuff I can use for years and wear out.

Thank you for reminding me of this one! I keep forgetting to try it out

FHS is an absolute dumpster fire that would never be dreamed up in this day and age

One pothole and it’s done for

Hoping that the grids are actually upgraded to ride the waves of generation by that stage

I’d agree with this. When I first started using Excel in school and university, I’d follow the instructions and not really know why I was doing what I was doing.

But then, having to work with Excel at work and make it do new shit, the penny dropped in my head and I understood how spreadsheets worked.

I use spreadsheets for heaps of things now, even if I don’t need to use formulas. Excel has some weird idiosyncrasies but it’s a good product overall. It’s not as bad as Word, which most people use incorrectly.

Thanks, I hate it

Exercising. When I hit 30, my metabolism wasn’t what it used to be and my appetite didn’t slow down to match. To stay a good weight, I decided either I’d have to eat less or exercise more. I chose the latter.

I formed the habit through the pandemic, but in the time since I’ve strengthened it further. I run, swim, and ride.

I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been and exercising during the week is just part of my routine. I think I’ve baked it into my life enough now that it’s here to stay.

I mean, Cunard does transatlantic sailings with the QM2, but your environmental impact for doing so would be high. Your impact would be far lower (per kilogram) if you did travel passenger on a cargo ship.

I forget who said it, but:

There are four types of economy.

• Developed
• Developing
• Japan
• Argentina

Ok hear me out. I’ll have a nap and be so glad to fall asleep. But then I get to bed and I’m like nahhhhh I just keep reading or playing this game.

I gotta get better at sleep hygiene 😅

Regardless of how you interpret the statistics, I think that this is a sign that the long vexed problem of software distribution for Linux has been significantly improved. Not quite solved, but for most desktop apps this is fantastic news.

I’ve started using Tree Style Tabs in Firefox and really like it. Maybe vertical tabs aren’t so bad?

This is slightly unrelated, but I’ve been slowly moving to Linux from windows for a while. I haven’t made the full plunge yet, but here’s my biggest strategy:

Use as many apps on windows as you can on Linux.

I’m using Okular, Ghostwriter, Libreoffice, Cider, etc. every month or so, another app is moved across.

Then, I make the switch and all my apps are there as I’m used to them.

Thanks so much for these replies! If I’m organised I’ll try updating this post with photos and my experience
