The point was that the lines are pretty blurred nowadays.

No, they're apps.

I get it. That's why I included the part about "the family tech guy". And I think some sparkle of interest must be had in order to learn about that stuff. Or any stuff, like learning Ancient Greek. One has to be able to use a web search (or write a prompt to an LLM) for "beginner install linux" or some such. If the spark isn't there, maybe buying a new Windows/Mac is the correct way to go.

Life is a long learning experience. Installing (or asking that nerdy relative to install) a Linux distro is no biggie anymore and when picking a good all-around distro like Mint, for example, pretty much anyone who has some basic experience on computers can do it.

Yup, and the egg from which the first chicken was hatched was laid by a very close precursor of a chicken that was not yet quite a chicken herself, unlike her chick.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not.

Bird flu is the nature's way of saying how cruel and fucked up the system is and how it should be abolished. Humans don't need eggs for anything.

This goes without saying. In my case, the problematic tooth had started affecting the neighboring molar negatively, adding more weight on my decision to finally get rid of it. I have to say, now a bit over two weeks post-op, it's starting to feel almost normal-ish.

 

In case where you have a wisdom tooth in place that sometimes feels like it may have to be removed, sooner or later, then go get it removed. The sooner the better. If for the most of time the tooth doesn't bother you or hurt, it's easy to keep procrastinating and postponing the operation for years or even decades.

Trust me, the healing process is a wholly different beast when you're in your 50's compared to if you were in your 20's or 30's.

I managed to blow up my old car's speakers with this song.

 

This guy...

 

With the free plan I can receive mail to username+somestring@protonmail.com address, but if I reply to a message sent to this address I can't edit the sender field before switching to a paid plan. But if I switch plans are those sender addresses limited to any numbe? Note, I'm referring strictly to username+somestring (and username+anotherstring) style addresses, not to addresses that would contain different username part. Those are limited, ofc.

 

I've started my first D4 hardcore run (seasonal ofc) just now. It's only lvl 15 on WT1 and I've sort of followed one of the Double Swing guides out there.

Any suggestions on what would be a good late or even end game build (supposing this guy survives that far)? A better leveling build tips are also welcome.

 

Case 1: When I sleep slightly less than would be ideal, for example less than 7 hours per night, I wake up reasonably functional and get through the day without being excessively tired, if not being totally alert either.

Case 2: When I sleep slighly less than would be ideal, for example less than 7 hours per night and wake up, let the dog out to the backyard, wait a few minutes, let the dog back in, and decide to go back to sleep because it's weekend. Now falling asleep takes a while but eventually I succeed. Then after an hour or two at max, I wake up again, but this time around I'm extremely drowsy with muscles aching and it takes serious effort to get up and get the engine running at normal speed. Even though the total amount of sleep (about 8-9 hours) sounds pretty ideal on paper.

Why is that?

 

MessagEase subscription popup

This popped up today on my phone when casually tapped on a text field. As a long ass time MessagEase user this makes me sad. Even though it has its issues, it's also been pretty much unbeatable when you need to type text on Android without looking using only one thumb. Looks like MessagEase Pro subscription fee is 1,09€/month. Not that much but no thanks. Enshittification spreads. As a FLOSS enthusiast I've always dreaded this sort of thing when using "free" proprietary products.

Anyhow, do I have to go back to Gboard or are there any free/oss alternatives around to replace MessagEase with?

 

I'm not talking about the full lyrics, but just a phrase or a sentence that you feel is right up your alley.

One of my personal favourites is from Barmy by The Fall: I got everything I want except for money.
