Yes, the quality and length of the score list the body is able to keep track of improves exponentially after 40. Moreso after 50.

I’m back checking BlueSky again.

But yeah this Azure outage completely hosed my company last week. Not fun times. People seem to forget that if DNS goes down, it’s like all the asphalt on the freeway spontaneously liquifies. Nobody’s going anywhere.

The body begins more copiously keeping score the older you get. My scorecard is getting annoying long at this point.

I see you speaking Swedish so seldomly, and your English is so good, that I was genuinely surprised to see you writing in your native tongue.

That’s it, no further thoughts on the matter. The only phrases I know in Swedish are both contextually inappropriate, so I won’t try to impress you.

I was gonna say, yeah the Gen Xers would love you for it. Anyone younger probably wouldn’t get it lol. Either way, the answer is always “do the cover”, regardless of source material. Deltarune is calling.

The clarinet section would like to have a word with you.

The Billy Joel tune? If so, there’s always room for Billy Joel covers. If not, there’s also always room for other Big Shot covers. The point is just make the cover.

Where’s the “rolling eyes” react? 🙄🙄🙄

Or at least the fall of your collar bone. Or maybe an ulna. Or rib.

Good luck!

Pay to play is $599 assuming you’ve got a mouse/keyboard, and monitor. Not horrible.

It’s Linux. Issues cropping up every so often is like any normal Tuesday. I think the difference between Linux nerds and normal users is we actually LIKE fixing stuff with CLI. What’s wrong with us?

Anyone installing any half-baked Linux build on partially-supported hardware isn’t doing it for daily driver status. It’s purely for geek cred and tinkerability. :P

Lol used M1 minis on eBay are going for $350-450-ish and are stuck with 8gb of motherboard-soldered ram. M2’s vary between $500-800-ish. Sucks when the M4 16/256 is only $599 :P
March 13, 2025 at 8:43 PM
The M4 minis are only $599 new. I’m half tempted to buy the entry level model and just toss Asahi on it. But that’s such a nice processor I feel like most of what it’s capable of would be wasted. Maybe I’ll seek out a used mini…

I also have Mint and Ubuntu on a 2016 MacBook Pro and they’re both flawless. Could easily be my daily driver…but my M-series MBP is just too nice to let it gather dust. :P
March 13, 2025 at 12:39 AM
Heck, if you just want Firefox, Thunderbird, Libre Office, FreeTube, and a smattering of other basic stuff, Mint is pretty much there already as long as you’re driving on stable hardware that isn’t 15 years old. Note: I have an old MacBook Air that IS 15 years old, and Mint freezes on it a lot.
March 13, 2025 at 12:39 AM
This. I drive Ubuntu, Mint, and Debian flavors of Linux on various machines. I’m a dyed in the wool tech geek who knows where to look when errors happen…which they do a lot in Linux. It’s great that it’s not Microsoft, but I wouldn’t even think about using Linux as an audio machine today. Not yet.

Holy shit. What on EARTH??!?

The data is irrefutable.
