GIMP will be great once it no longer needs to dodge patents

Audio players work great now MP3 is out of patent (before that MP3 was really only available if you were willing to ignore the patent)

It depends on your industry. I’m in an agile development team, working in AWS in Java. I’m not a dev, so my work is in spreadsheets, word processor documents, web utilities like Azure Dev Ops

All that is platform independent, though we have to work on the organisation’s computers, so we work in the office on windows PCs or from home on whatever, remoted into a windows machine or VM

The devs work in VMs which are variously windows or GNU/Linux depending on what the person’s previous project was.

I haven’t tried running anything new, but the stuff I have run in wine has worked easily, without any tweaking

Don’t worry about the terminal until or unless you have something to do that needs it, then follow a guide

Incidentally if a guide tells you to run a program in terminal, you can check what that program is supposed to do

  • man command (eg. man mount) gives you the manual, if it has a manual
  • command -h or --help gives you the command’s help page - pipe it through “less” if it’s more than a single screen eg: ls -h | less

You can’t say that without explaining the reference. How can they be one of the lucky 10 000 when they still don’t get it?

Nope. Lots of people can walk to the shops. We have suburban centres typically 15 minutes walk away

psud, to memes in You don't have to use customer service voice anymore 🥺

I worked as one of my first jobs for my country’s telecoms former monopoly

We had to use the same phrase and say it with a smile when answering the phone: “welcome to Telstra, Psud speaking”

I now hate it when I slip into the vocal register I used there, but at least when I do, I’m usually using it ironically

  1. It’s rare that more than three people on a bus are doing shopping
  2. Carry an umbrella, and isn’t everything wrapped in plastic now?

My bicycle commute is 22km each way, and after riding for a few weeks, I was up for riding that plus a loop around the local lake (with a friend), then back home all on a Saturday, after doing that commute every day of the week before

Now e-bikes exist that’s even achievable by quite unfit people

My workplace provides showers and lockers for staff who sweat on their way to work.

I can leave my smelly cycling gear in my locker and change into the work clothes I carried in, and wear the shoes I leave at work in the locker

One becomes faster as one cycles more

My city was designed to be driven to. It was built after cars were common

But it’s still quicker to get from suburbia to city by bike than bus, but car is quicker still

I used to visit fuck cars, back when I was on Reddit. I own two cars, and I look forward to a time when I only need them to tow a trailer and/or go on holiday

Buses where I live have a cargo rack at the front. If you had four bags of shopping (though that’s really quite a lot - the bags are big) you would tie the tops closed and leave them in one of the racks until you reached your destination

psud, to starwarsmemes in admit it

My local pharmacy has the mat still, it doesn’t operate the door anymore

As a kid you had to jump on them to make them work
