Jup. I think I’ve had some 3 actual issues the past 2 years on EndeavourOS. But the Endeavour team did a good job of warning me on Discord/RSS or at least provide tutorials and explanations afterwards.

One of the issues was in regard to Grub (fixed by Timeshift rollback and a one-liner), one was in regard to some rogue Nvidia bug crashing the login window (fixed by Timeshift rollback and waiting a few days before updating again), and one was Nvidia removing support for GTX1000 cards and older (Nvidia, WHYYYYYYYY?!).

For reference, I had what felt like similar annoying bugs (and much worse) on Windows 10 about every month, but without any useful support from Microsoft. :(

EDIT: speaking of the devil. A fourth issue just popped up.

Sure, but going to a proper restaurant tends to cost a bit more than doing it yourself.

Like, making some roasted pork with steamed veggies, sauce, and potatoes takes some 10+40 minutes of preparation and about 10 minutes of cleanup, and it costs me about 25$ (and is, of course, not including any deals). That’s for 4 grownups, plus some leftovers for lunch next day.

Obviously food and restaurant prices differ wildly depending on where you live, but I’m not sure I could get a decent and healthy takeout/restaurant meal for less than 60$ for 4 people in my area (assuming that 4 kebabs can be considered “decent and healthy”).

That’d leave me with a hourly “food-wage” of roughly 35$ (or 75$ if we’d assume 100$ for takeout), which I think is acceptable. I’d not make more than that after taxes either way.

And now we have those who’d rather work for recreation, and those who’d rather work as recreation. I can find better things to spend my money on than food.

I have to confess that I do not know how every European language says it, but I do know that both German and Danish say and write the equivalent of “o’ clock/on the clock”, eg. “Klokken, Uhr”.

The only time I’ve seen “x hours” used, is either in programming, that abomination that is “military time”, or when defining time from now, eg. “Let’s meet in 4 hours, at 20 on the clock”.

16 hours is mostly an American military way to say it. 16 on the clock (or similar for different languages) is the main European way to say it.

TV time and military time don’t even use 24 hours. You can have a TV show that goes from 23:30 to 25:15 (25>24, in 24h it would be 01:15).

I imagine those who call 24h “military time” also say “I’ll be home from work on Friday at 4100 AM”, which makes about the same amount of sense.

First of, in Europe we use ISO 8601, which is quite different from the military time which the USA uses.

Second, in my home country we still say “16 on the clock” or “15:45 on the clock” (just translated to the native language, eg. “Klokken 16”) to signify we’re talking time and not weight or distance.

The speech is about software (and laws) not being able to properly limit software, and that as long as we have “General-Purpose Computing” (aka. PCs or hardware/computers that you have access to) we will not be able to properly limit software. Cory just didn’t think as far as the solution 15 years later being to move the hardware on which your software runs away from you.

It is quite tragicomic how we went from mainframes and terminals in the 60’s to GPC/PCs in the 90’s and now are moving back to cloud (aka. mainframes and terminals but on a global scale).

I’m uncomfortable.

In the Nordics most of us are “pig-pink”. :D

So you want to be able to stream Gimp and have a shared drive with your PC’s sheets, it needs to be open source and with no limitations?

I’d just do gimp+Discord+google docs, but if you want it to be open source and all-in-one then go checkout Nextcloud. I think that’s as free as you get, if even foundry is too limiting.

Nice. The first computer I had all to myself had Vista, it thought me how to fix my own stuff after random crashes. I ditched Windows shortly after the end of support for windows 7, after having entirely skipped 8, and then witnessing Microsoft themselves skipping 9 for the shitshow that was 10.

And then links to a similar sounding but ultimately totally unrelated site.
