I agree with you wholeheartedly except for that it costs me more than $100

They provide their own therapy

It’s been fun. I’ve had it for a few months and I love it. Currently trying to figure out why my PDFs get corrupted and how to fix it - I’m pretty sure it has to do with signatures but not completely sure. The other thing is that I was having trouble figuring out how to hibernate my computer, so it was sleeping all the time (except when off or in use), but then one day it just started hibernating. Not sure how that happened.

I chose Fedora with the KDE desktop and it’s great. I’m not entirely sure I understand the differences in the desktop choices but it works for me for now.

I’m trying to get my partner to switch but they’re worried about it not being compatible with/not being able to find suitable replacements for certain Windows software used for work. So basically I just need to get better with Linux before they switch lol

May I interest you in some…garlic ranch?

Absolutely!

I aspire to be like you! I finally am going to have a DVD player and I am absolutely THRILLED. No joke. It’s going to be fantastic.

Not as fantastic as an old VCR since it’s like 2% harder to fast forward through the ads. But pretty close!

I would love to know also. They are all spoken here for sure (quite a large population of people who speak the languages I listed) but what confuses me is the area codes are usually not my region for these calls.

This is helpful. Thank you

Excellent. Thank you. How do you pronounce () {?

I appreciate it, but I can’t do either unfortunately since I have medical issues and need to answer many unknown numbers.

The quesadillas. Again. And again.

I can’t stop eating them. I prefer their quesadillas over authentic ones tbh. It’s the sauce! And the baja blast!

My neighbor likes to do yardwork at 10pm

Luckily he has electric equipment so it doesn’t make as much noise

Except for the days he decides to do woodworking too

Don’t worry - I never get anything done. 🥸

Did mine a few weeks ago. The only part I’m stuck on is OneDrive, which I unfortunately need. I got access to my personal files but not the shared files. The other part is I still need to download all of my mods…which I am not looking forward to 😆 but let me just say it is so nice to have a computer that actually works! It’s older so it was getting impossibly slow.

Between Linux and the new IRS software I am feeling spoiled.

I was on Artemis and then Jerboa and now Thunder (probably a few others in between).

Artemis was going to be great but is no more, sadly.

Jerboa I just couldn’t like. I think my biggest issue when I was using it was you could only search for community names? I can’t remember exactly I just remember the difficulty searching was the last straw for me.

Thunder is great. I don’t think I have any complaints. It works as I need it to and probably has a bunch of features that I don’t use. It’s pretty new still so I’m trying not to get too attached lol but it’s updated pretty regularly, commenting works well, it allows you to preview before posting. Search seems to work great. I guess the only issue is the delay in notifications? Not really an issue for me but I guess if you’re having a more immediate conversation in the comments it might be.

Yeah, if you mean laps etc it’ll be when I can move up to more intense stuff. Right now I can basically sit and float around.

Right now the exercises I do feel like I’m doing nothing (until later, then I’m exhausted for days). It’s frustrating because before all of this happened I was doing a lot of incline and strength training, which I can’t do anymore. The exercises I’m able to do now basically amount to a few flutter-like moves and some shoulder work. Even that was too much this week so going to have to tell my trainer we have to pull back even further.

Unfortunately many of those “exercise people” this tweet is referring to do not take any disabilities into consideration. I can’t tell you how many people have told me to just “go for a walk” when my disabilities require me to do specific exercises from a horizontal position. At some point I might be able to do slightly more intense recumbent stuff (very slow, low resistance cycling) but walking/running will unfortunately never be something that helps me. And don’t get me started on the HIIT fad. I would die lol (not joking though)

Most of it is diverted to Europe though - loads of people there order their water with gas

Put it on a VHS, then use one of those VCRs that removes the ads for you.

Got on my laptop today and Microsoft had installed (or reinstalled?) Copilot. I was going to wait til the weekend, but that really motivated me to just do it tonight. Of course Microsoft’s backup is not working properly so I have to backup everything folder by folder. Which is annoying. But Microsoft sure knows how to get me to get things done! Thinking of sending them a thank you card.
