This is what I’ve always said, which means I’m better than all these babies whining in the replies.
Here’s a primer on ‘primer.’
It’s pronounced ‘PRIMM-er’ if you mean “a small book” or “a short informative piece of writing.”
It’s pronounced ‘PRY-mer’ if you mean “an initial coat of paint.”

When Rubio stands behind a podium to explain why we had no choice but to invade Panama or Greenland or fucking Alberta, please remember that every Democratic Senator voted to confirm him. The Dems are a worthless party operating on norms that no longer exist and are speedrunning us through fascism.

Scheming to do a #Linux challenge for Feb. I’ve been running Linux since late ‘92 but only used it full-time around ‘99 for a year or so. I’ve always had a Linux installation I could get to but always went back to my Mac (or sometimes Windows). Scouting for a distro for it. Maybe NixOS?

@wimpys.world quickemu gets a shout out which is nice :)
As promised long ago, I slapped together a post about ditching my MacBook Pro for a Framework 16 and Ubuntu. If you’re considering not spending a couple grand on a milled aluminum “AI” advertisement the next time around, there might be something of value in here for you:

I’m Mat. I make websites.
After spending my entire career on various MacsBook pro, I’m now using a <a href='https://frame.work'>Framework 16</a> with Ubuntu.

Who is planning to participate in #AdventOfCode?
I haven't figured out if I have time or not for that... but it's something I always look at from a distance every year and wish I did create space for.
Looks like there's a feed that tracks the hashtag here:

I admire the effort Danielle Fore and the rest of the crew put into the release notes for #elementaryOS 8. It's a beautiful and weighty tome they should be proud of, software aside!
I will give it a shake on one of my (many) ThinkPads over the weekend.
