It's weird the stuff that makes you feel old. Yesterday I was talking to a new sysadmin at work, and told him that I used to type lots of BASIC from magazines when I was little. And then he said "What's basic, is that like a programming language?" and I think I literally gasped.

@dannycolin Apparently Debian Developers tend to be masochists ¯\_(ツ)_/

Tonight I dared to listen to one of Celine Dion's earlier albums that's in French (Des mots qui sonnent). At times it's incredibly cheesy, but in a sweet and fun 1991 way. Overall much better than I expected, I don't understand all the lyrics, but will take another listen with translations another time.

@phoronix I quite like this proposal. Definitely worth the build time for the result. The extra package space it will take on mirrors is less than what one big new commercial game takes these days.

I don't know what GNOME 50 did with animations, but it just feels *so* right. I usually disable animations on both my android and linux machines because I'd rather just have it feel snappy. But in GNOME 50, the animations are very subtle and fast enough that I barely notice it's there. It just feels great all-round. Good job to whomever has been working on this!

Ah yes 2019. Wild times.

@kim Ah, free time. There was a time in my life where I had such a thing. If only I could be more efficient, planned better, learn to say no to things, stop having great new ideas and take better self care, then I could experience the wonder of free time again too!

@kim Why not?

@TheEddieShow Yeah mine was white, yellow and orange. I wanna catch them all and have them together in pots along my front door

@TheEddieShow I had three different colours of Kalanchoe that all died in a recent drought :( (oh well, will replenish soon)

@LucasWerkmeister @nyanbinary I use the same for both, because it could get confusing if I nest the other way around and then I have to keep track of which keys I use in which level of nesting. If I have tmuxes (tmuxi?) 4 levels deep, it's easy I just need to go ^B^B^B^B

@tante Heh, just happened to read this, and at least I saw the complete opposite in my profile!

@neil #1, but It's also a brand of vacuum cleaner and high pressure hose

@tinker The world is big enough for everyone to have a slice and to make profit, they can all only benefit from working with each other. The important part is that dependency on MS Office is reduced or entirely eliminated.

@JamesWNeal I like that even though the photo contains a modern TV and bright flooring, it still has a 70's feel to it.

@bagder People do this so much, I'm surprised there's not a burl alias like wcurl

@mntmn Same here. I think I even have some boards that come close. Just a time issue /o\

@susankayequinn Take a look at the new Atto 3, it's an amazing EV that the US won't get, at least not any time soon.
