Maybe they’re not for you, IDK. I started with a Lamy safari and noodler’s ink, and it was pretty smooth. You do have to write a bit differently though.

The pilot G2s are well known for being very good as well.

I’m thinking of going back to nicer gel pens. Fountain pens are great when writing, but filling and cleaning is such a hassle. My favorite is probably the TWSBI VAC 700R since it holds so much ink, and it doesn’t need to be filled often at all.

If writing for a decent amount of time, this is how I do it with fountain pens. They almost feel made for lefties.

It’s been a while since I used it, but Librewolf had a habit of showing the bitwarden extension’s window at the wrong size.

I was able to fix this by disabling a “resist fingerprinting” setting, but it’s annoying to have to do stuff like this in the first place. I really wanted to have an exceptions list that included certain websites for fingerprinting resistance, but I never found a clear way to do it.

There are a few other examples of settings that I had to tweak in order to make the experience as good as Firefox.

Those who are against it probably would just move away from Ubuntu. For those who aren’t, I don’t see why they shouldn’t register for Ubuntu Pro. It’s not in the spirit of the free software ecosystem, but not everyone needs to have the same level of commitment to free software.

IMO, hearing about Ubuntu Pro reinforces my decision to stick to Ubuntu derivatives like Mint, and it’s making me consider trying options like LMDE or straight up Debian.

Is this image AI generated? That football almost looks literally egg-shaped. I know that some call the sport American Hand-Egg, but this is uncanny.

This sounds like a problem with your organization. I use windows at the hospital where I work, and we don’t run into these kinds of issues. Yeah it is rife with other issues like goading you into using microsoft edge, one drive, and more, but updates are handled by IT.

This is why people trying to pass this as a primary option baffle me a bit. dd is not that bad in isolation, but all of these little commands add up.

If we want Linux to be mainstream, we need to accept that most users aren’t going to be linux enthusiasts. They just want a PC that works normally.

They’ll never tell.

I think it’s about staying focused on what you’re doing. Pushing out irrelevant thoughts and focusing on what’s going on is a skill you can work on. In my mind, when something like that is making me giggle, the only thing that helps is not thinking about it. I’m bad at dealing with this too though.

TIL. Apparently they may eat certain wild varieties of bananas, but not the ones that we eat. I’ve been duped and smeckledorfed.

Ah true. I guess there are quite a few industry specific ones.

I wonder if you could make it sass you every so often to complete the effect.

Fucking shutdown

Chill my man. I’m on it.

How many unix like operating systems are there? I thought it was just BSD and Linux. Then I heard about Plan 9. Now this. Next thing you know someone is going to find an operating system that is meant to run oil pumps or something and is going to install doom on it.

That’s cool. I may keep an eye out for old Kindles in thrift stores and whatnot. With the advent of android tablets that just have e paper displays, I probably will try those before buying another kindle.

When was that change? I feel like I had pulse audio issues years ago, but lately sound has mostly worked well. The only thing I was unable to do in Pop OS was switch between two different pairs of headphones.

Gotta distrohop more my dude. Reinstall your OS every week.

Trying to flash a new OS was a huge pain until I set up my PC next to the breaker though.

Well they did have the Entmoot, so there was plenty of deliberation. It still seemed like a quick decision on the timescale that Ents live by though.

They also had that forest dance to get pumped up for the war which I still feel was a missed opportunity for the film.

Isn’t windows more compatible with most games? Very few are Linux native, and most games require a bit of compatibility troubleshooting to get working properly in my experience.

Should people turn against each other while the rich continue to get richer? You’re not going to seriously fix anything by vandalizing people’s cars. Even if you had some irrefutable proof that they’re a Nazi, what good will it do? Are they going to say, “damn, I guess I’ll stop being a Nazi now?” They’ll double down, and you open up doors to others doing the same to you.

Even the UHC CEO killing only raised the awareness and amount of discussion of our healthcare system temporarily, and that was a highly visible move against someone who was actually part of the system exploiting people.
