Ottawa breathes a sigh of relief.
LXTerminal.
I don't know if increasing the font size counts as customization. I've got old, tired eyes.
Transparency is also turned on, which I think I did with compton. It was a long time ago and seems to persist through Debian's dist upgrades.
It's worth adding that the entire LXDE suite is great software. It just works. I hope I don't have to give it up any time soon.
You seriously haven't had to provide tech support to relatives with MacOS. Windows is brilliant in comparison.
A lot of people deride security by obscurity, but I like using Linux simply because the Linux desktop is secure and isn't as big a target as Windows or MacOS. These "year of the Linux desktop" articles have been coming out for years and I've always thought, "I sure hope not!"
This is why we still need Richard Stallman. That guy never gives up on explaining why manipulative, proprietary software is against our interests.
Use free software -- and when you can't, use ad-blockers, privacy badger, noscript, etc.
That definitely might be it. We definitely share the plates and I can't shake the northern BC accent.
What these people do makes no difference to me unless significant numbers of annoying posts end up in my "all" feed. But for that to happen, large numbers of people would have to engage with them. So don't do that.
It's probably better that our edifying posts are filtering into their feeds. They might learn something.
I traveled through Oregon in June and didn't know about this law. I pumped my own gas in Astoria, Portland, and another place and no one stopped me. No one came out to pump my gas either.
Time for a wobble, boys!
I've been using LibreOffice at home for years.
My employer's recent wholesale shift to Office365/Teams/OneDrive convinced me to switch to LibreOffice at work. It's a good thing that there's a portable version, because that's the only way I can use it on their locked-down laptop.
When I was a kid, I owned a remote control van called the Max Machine. It was sonic, but not ultrasonic. It had a remote with one button that made a loud "clack" when you pressed it. A clack would turn the front wheels left, another would turn them back to the center, another would turn them right, and so on...
The clacking drove my parents crazy. Here's a link: https://flashbak.com/powered-fun-thrills-remembering-schapers-telesonic-toys-mid-1970s-53252/
I guess you could also include "the clapper" among sonically-controlled items. It also had one of the most annoying jingles ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRWtFVFSx5I
If you only need the box once a week or less, put a hitch on your car and buy or rent a trailer.
Fair. Regular hours, not French revolution decidays.
That being said, today is the 10th day of Thermidor.
I'm a Canadian who started school when the change happened. Grade two, 1977: new rulers!
I think it's fair to say that we all ended up hybridized. Some things I measure intuitively in metric, others in imperial.
People's height? feet and inches.
Grocery weights? pounds. If it's in Kilograms, I quickly convert it.
Grocery volumes (Milk, dairy products, shampoo, basically anything purchased in a container)? litres.
Gasoline? Gallons or litres. Either is fine. But fuel economy is mpg.
Temperature? Celsius outdoors, Fahrenheit indoors. We had an old thermostat when I was growing up.
Carpentry measurements? Inches.
Wrenches? whatever fits!
Distances? It took a long time, probably fifteen years, but at some point, I stopped converting kilometres to miles. Now I just think in kilometres.
Mine too. I moved to a Pixel 5 with CalyxOS. It's nice, but it occupies the same space in my life as my refrigerator. I use it when necessary and that's it, which is probably more healthy!
I maintained a website devoted to keeping Blackberry OS devices (which predate Blackberry 10) functioning without Blackberry Internet Services (The Bold Explorer). It was an odd thing for an open source enthusiast to do, but the old devices had a simplicity that was satisfying.
The major email services recently stopped supporting TLS 1.0, which killed the last working email client. Adios, BBOS!
