Back when Vivaldi was a young punk, starved and with way too much funky ideas in his head, the only job he could find was as a teacher for girls in a convent.

Unleashing of the craziness ensued: with 60 pupils at hand, he started chain-writing pieces for string quatuors and quintets.

It's called "Estro Armonico" and nr 8 on the Café Zimmerman' recording is my ringtone. I always pause a bit before picking up a call.

Secondhand macbook pro with the M2 chip and as much memory / hdd available ; it is said to avoid 8g of ram, I went with 16.

Slap Asahi on it, the latest version plays games quite nicely - and since Asahi is dual-boot anyway, you can try the macos side if something fails.

(Currently Asahi doesn't support m3 or m4 chips. M2 machines should be available at bargain prices, mine new was €1500)

Ubuntu Studio is an excellent choice to get you started busy doing your things. It's a work of love, from passionate people, going at it for many years now.

The only drawback is that the bundle is overstuffed, for my use case there's just too much stuff in there lol (sound eng)

Enjoy yourself, test your creativity against the available tools, and make stuff. That's the important part: making!

No AA no! Local rehab clinic, regular meeting with a specialised nurse. Helped define my needs, how to cope, how to change habits.

Celebrating 2 years today. Still not easy, still craving it from times to times (at least once a day) but holding. 2 years!

Hang on there!

The ethical pirate would rip them and make them available as torrents. Out of 500, there's probably a lot that is unfindable.

Start with your favorites, go as far as you (and your bandwidth) can.

Ça se mange ? Parce que ça à l'air appétissant !

Yeah, tho I'm doing the opposite : Asahi on a macbook pro. Works great while indeed hurting conviction.

So a 12.5 screen, 12Ah battery, 2kg laptop with only USB A ports available in 6 months for a starting price of 1550€ - Please excuse the slight irregularity in my eyebrow line here.

Mother Nature is really, really angry at us and payback is only barely beginning to start.

I am not religious or superstitious or whatever, it's just a way of expressing that very soon we're gonna have it very bad. The heatwaves, the storms, the utilities unable to cope, the displaced populations, the overwhelmed over-egotistic political systems - we're in for a ride, and that ride starts yesterday.

I learned one thing at the rehab centre: there are many profiles of alcoholism. The Blind Drunk every saturday only, the just-two-glasses-everyday, the Highly Functional one bottle of whisky a day... Then the "I am not an alcoholic because I only drink after 6pm".

And such, and such.

I don't know how much, exactly, I was doing one year, 11 months and eighteen days ago, but it started with coffee in my morning whisky. And stopped at the bewilderment of all my entourage who never noticed my addiction.

The key is if you cannot restrain yourself without effort, you have an addiction issue. Maybe you don't, and fixing yourself reasonable "social lubrifiant" limit can work for you - it works for many people.

Try your limits - your inferior limits of course, and seek help if needed.

I wish you the best.

Sure hope those are the 0.5L ones

Hmm that's DR17 right? I always thought DR16 was the revolutionary one, truly shifting paradigms

Yay for Slackware!

Il n'est pas impossible que l'effet principal soit déterrent - et ça c'est plus difficile à mesurer. Encore que dans le temps, par zones précises, c'est possible en comparant les chiffres.

Sérieux, fachos et autres electoralo-opportunistes s'appuient sur la prévention, pas la détection, par ce biais. Oh, comme cela est progressiste de leur part !

Curieux titre d'article (que, comme le veut la tradition, je n'ai pas lu) qui voudrait nous embarquer dans une direction alors que ça n'a rien à voir avec l'intention principale - qui est de surveiller.

My Debian is the best for my work laptop
My Arch is the best for my private laptop
My Asahi is the best so that I don't have to deal with f*cling macos crap

In a way I did: shotgun marriage, she was 4 months already
