I’ve just put the batteries in a toy a relative bought from TikTok. It’s some drawing pad where you draw on it then press a button and your drawing’s supposed to glow. It’s a total piece of shit, the drawing barely glows and it takes ages to clean. It’ll probably go in the bin tomorrow, I’ve already warned my wife to take the batteries out first.
Milk and cookies seem bizarre, there’s nothing Christmassy about that. You need to put your foot down there.
We’re also UK and we just left out a mince pie, a chocolate biscuit that my daughter wanted to give him, a carrot, and some whisky which Santa asked for when we went to see him. We let our daughter pour the whisky and it was quite a generous serving. My wife said “That’s quite a lot, he’s going to be tipsy” and my daughter said “It’s only half a glass mummy”. I just poured it back into the bottle.
Never used Arch but openSUSE does have a minimal install option you might like. Other than that I find it to be a pretty no-nonsense distro. Most distros have some kind of ideology, like Ubuntu is easy, Arch is minimal, etc. openSUSE is just middle of the road and doesn’t push you in any direction.
It feels pretty German out of the box but you can obviously change whatever you want. BTRFS means if anything fucks up you can just roll it back but I’ve never had to in the two years I’ve been running it. If you’re used to Arch you might find that Leap is a little slow but Tumbleweed and Slowroll both want updating constantly. I like Zypper too, it’s fast and straightforward.
Tbf, there’s so many faces in that picture that saying that they’d removed it because they didn’t know if anyone in there was a victim seems pretty plausible. It wasn’t like Trump was prominently in it, the picture of him was shoved in a drawer under some other pictures.
Not saying that they haven’t covered up for Trump, but I don’t think this one is worth making a big deal about.
Over the past year I’ve gradually switched from Gnome to Plasma but it’s so fucking clunky I do miss Gnome. I feel like it’s in the right place but it just needs rebuilding from the ground up in the modern world.
I don’t think I’ve had a supersized one in decades. Is that still a thing in the UK? On the occasions I do get a McDonald’s I usually just get water anyway.
This’ll happen in the EU and in the UK. I don’t think it matters that much, electric cars are trendy now and culture is changing. Even if they don’t ban I don’t think it’ll be long before petrol/diesel car sales sit at around 30%.
They should make it a law to require adequate parental controls to exist on a phone in a way that parents can use them, then teach the parents how to use them. If your kid goes and starts viewing porn then it’s your own fault.
I like YaST. What’s Red Hat tooling like?
