The little pissy comment about computer-savvy nephews! Just so revealing where they think the real problem is: users WANTING things, the arseholes.

I need a laptop that will work in a muddy field (for running a live roleplaying game) and for that I prefer to buy used. Need to get a new one though as the ThinkPad I've had for years is dying.

This is a thing that actually exists.

I hold a European Computer Driving Licence that I got in the mid-00s at school, and I know what a file system is. Coincidence?????

I was a real smart kid with special shiny shoes so they let me get Microsoft Office User Specialist certificates as well. Imagine being like 15 and having a qualification from Microsoft in using Excel. Imagine what kind of child I was. Horrendous.

I've started a new job where I have a Linux workstation and while there are certainly a few tiresome things about it, it's amazing how much less of a gently caress it is to use in many ways for everyday things. I moved away from Linux around the time of Windows 10 because it was good then! It's very sad.

What line of work gets you a Linux workstation on your desk? What distro?

Do you literally develop server software or some such?

I'm a research academic in high-assurance cryptography. Honestly most research software I'd be running in WSL anyway (this is what I did during my PhD, which I'm currently finishing off).

I like VS Code, I'll admit it.

Bluetooth was invented because of humankind's arrogance and sin. We live in a fallen world and the proof is the absolutely garbage sound quality coming out of exactly one ear.

I imagine they do little else in Richmond except read the posts of goons.
