The Zorin thing was a shameless astroturfing campaign. I guess it got the downloads they were looking for, but I was sure fucking tired of it by the time it was over.

And yes, it doesn’t live up to the hype. It’s a bunch of FOSS tools everyone else uses, but branded as “Zorin” tools. I have no problem with a distro trying to drum up users, but the way they go about it is embarassing.

And as usual from Oracle, it isn’t worth free. You better have a good backup, because they’ll shut that shit off on you without warning.

Had to know Kai was going to show up.

He’s got that whole setup weirdly close. He’s cramped up to use it like that.

You would have to try pretty hard to kill yourself with a hotwire even if you had a heart condition. Like lay on your side on the ground and grab the hotwire so maybe the circuit went through your heart and not entirely followed the shortest path to ground along your side.

A car battery would do shit all. Dry skin potential point is like 65V.

It’s less about using something proprietary as much as using something so excrementally terrible as Teams.

I’m more of a Simmental than a Hereford, but the sentiment’s spot on.

Thanks for the feedback. That was precisely my worry about outlaying that money and not being happy with the result.

I’ve really been mulling one of those over with 128GB. I’m on Claude Max and Cerebras $50 so I’m using a good amount of $200/mo for coding and Openclaw. Is it worth it for light coding, or are you only doing SD with it?

This was the channel I was going to suggest. A lot of what he shows is pretty pricey, but some would make sense if you weren’t too concerned about speed.

Framework desktop?

Change has to come from the primaries. This is where the battle needs to be fought, by the time it’s into an election it’s over, and you end up with Republican or Republican Light.

We just pretend it’s a moose and pull the trigger.

Jesus Christ. I’d say the average Canadian student could name half the US state capitals before they hit high school when I went to school.

The Canadian Army that had entire clauses of the Geneva Convention written because fuck Nazis.

I mean, there’s a bridge right there. Hang a pedestrian walkway underneath. Plenty of bridges like that where it’s been added after the fact.

But we know, it’ll see roughly 12 people a year actually use it because they’re Americans.

“Hey, Pam. Pam… You have a little bit of shit on your face. Yah, right there on the tip of your nose. There you go.”

Lol. OK, that’s why that stuck in my brain. Thanks!

There was some sort of Jellyfin/Plex ersatz “TV channel” thing that Chris Fisher on Linux Unplugged was talking about. Can’t remember what the name was.
