The point was that the lines are pretty blurred nowadays.

No, they’re apps.

I get it. That’s why I included the part about “the family tech guy”. And I think some sparkle of interest must be had in order to learn about that stuff. Or any stuff, like learning Ancient Greek. One has to be able to use a web search (or write a prompt to an LLM) for “beginner install linux” or some such. If the spark isn’t there, maybe buying a new Windows/Mac is the correct way to go.

Life is a long learning experience. Installing (or asking that nerdy relative to install) a Linux distro is no biggie anymore and when picking a good all-around distro like Mint, for example, pretty much anyone who has some basic experience on computers can do it.

Bird flu is the nature’s way of saying how cruel and fucked up the system is and how it should be abolished. Humans don’t need eggs for anything.

By the blueberry with a surprised look on the left. Aim at my mouth please.

Sama. Näin sitä aikuistuttiin ihan pyytämättä ja yllättäen.

OKT-asujalle kyllä ilppi melko mainio kampe. Talvella lämmittää ja helteillä viilentää. 15 vuoden ansiokkaaseen ikään ehtinyt ilppini sanoi syksyllä viimein sopimuksensa irti, joten jouduttiin hankkimaan uudenkarhea Mitsu seinään. Täytyy sanoa, että ovat laitteet kehittyneet tuossa ajassa, sillä tuntuu uusi laite hoitavan hommansa selvästi vanhaa tehokkaammin. Kaipa näissä(kin) tekniikka kehittyy.

They just need to try harder.

I appreciate the comparison but, no.

I swear, Mark E. Smith was sometimes decades ahead of his time.

If you mean like slapping a puddle of diarrhea, then I agree. IIRC the movie’s style was so annoying and the plot so boring that it’s a small miracle I managed to finish it in the first place.

Based on this you’ll love Tarkovsky and Bergman.

Anthrax letter incoming!

This new craze they call “rock nucleic roll” is driving the country’s youth wild!

Tobacco industry still tests on animals. Not on dogs though iirc. So even if you don’t care about your own health, you should quit smoking for the benefit of animals.

Because this would actually be even more excellent anti-smoking ad.

It’s even cooler when it’s forced on you violently and without consent.

Well, usually dd is not used as often as cp, so there’s a bigger chance of messing up the parameters, unless you’re careful and rtfm first.
