The pharmacist at my local Tesco once told me I was buying paramol too often. It had been at least a year since I last bought it.

This told me that:

A. They’re using facial recognition to track purchases

B. There’s either not enough info provided by it or enough training on it’s use

Just like me. I’m a fat bald guy with a huge beard which I always thought I was the Linux stereotype. But yea, I enjoy seeing cute socks with Neofetches in my feed.

100%. I’m from the UK and the drinking culture here is ridiculous. People don’t just drink, they get wasted. My best friend died from alcohol abuse at 34.

There are people at my company who are very obviously alcoholics and spend the workday hungover or still drunk a lot of the time stinking of booze and that’s totally fine apparently. But if I smoked weed at the weekend like I used to and came into work totally sober I’d test positive, get fired immediately, completely fuck my career prospects and very likely get a visit from the police trying to bust me. It is bullshit.

OK, looking at this I can now understand why it may not all make immediate sense to someone who didn’t grow up here.

Same here

Oh lovely. So it turns out we in the UK are just as dumb as the Americans on this one.

Yea now that’s a pretty crazy life.

Diablo Cody stripped for a while. Not exactly shocking.

Certainly gets me going.

Yea I think most ATMs work on XP.

First experience was trying to dual boot Slackware and Windows ME on the family computer in 2003 after getting a magazine with the install disc on. Nuked the Windows install and got banned from the family PC for a while.

Then I got my own laptop with Windows 98 on it at 18. I’d just found dyne:bolic which was one of the first Linux live CDs if I recall correctly and was designed to work on older hardware (this was mid 00s). That machine served me well for 2 or 3 years.

A few years of bouncing between various distros and Windows followed. Eventually I made the full switch in about 2012 first to Ubuntu then Debian which I’ve been using for the last 5 years or so.

But not as much as the high seas me heartie…

“I’m begging of ya, don’t make me shit my pants.”

I don’t want to sound arrogant but is reading a few paragraphs then copying and pasting 3 different commands into a terminal really that difficult?

It will make life easier in the long run as having a repo added will update the software with sudo apt upgrade in the future.

You may be thinking of prohibition when alcohol was made illegal in the USA in the 1920s.

Yea, bit of a pain but it’s worth the results

The notification light would also let you know what type of notification it was by colour on my old Samsung Note.

“Except I didn’t say naH!”

Another way to say this is the master race are about to upgrade their hardware
