That’s part of the reason we’re making Chuck Norris jokes instead of sympathising one iota. May as well have some fun.

Yeah, but in my experience it isn’t great. Salix is a lot nicer.

Of course, your mileage may vary. There are definitely still a lot of true slackers out there!

Since the XNU kernel is part Mach, part OSFMK, and part FreeBSD, all NeXT machines and all Macs made since the 2000s run BSD.

KDE Liquid is also a thing.

Chuck Norris doesn’t suffer medical emergencies: medical emergencies suffer Chuck Norris.

I use μLauncher (from Accrescent). It’s quite minimal and has no distractions.

I also like Ion Launcher, if only because I can make everything look skeuomorphic without having to trawl XDA Developers.

I like how Ion lets you add shine to your icons. Makes it all look very 2009!

How about we just start using the word “trump” as a term for the most disgusting and malevolent threst to humanity we see before us?

Syncthing. It’s not so much a backup as redundancy, though.

I have machines in the network that rarely get powered on, however, so I could possibly consider them offline backups.

Well, it started out as a basic windowing system for DOS, so…

Scarfolk may or may not exist in England. No constitution 'round here!

There’s your problem. Just keep the laugh track on and it stays funny.

Same deal with Friends and also a fair amount of standup.

• Board of Peace: *starts a war
• Federal Bureau of Investigation: *reluctant to investigate Epstein files
• Health Secretary: *slashes funding and destroys research

What the fuck is wrong with you all‽

Classic Tory move by Labour.

I need horrible things to happen to these people.

Well, it’s made it difficult to find an industrial placement at uni. While many of my peers are going to be working for BlackRock, Leonardo, Boeing, or some AI-related company during third year, I’m probably going to be attending lectures. It’s also made my workflow tricky, as I have a thousand (hyperbole) reasons why I won’t use certain software or operating systems, which in turn means I have to reverse-engineer and self-teach slightly more of my degree than other students.

Also, I’m not sure if this is the strong sense of justice, increased empathy, a subconscious inability to detect sarcasm, or a combination thereof, but I also can’t make jokes at people’s expense when they don’t deserve it (even if I know it would be okay). For example, I am a member of three student societies, one of which is a Formula Student team. There is wall-to-wall banter each time I go in and I always have a good laugh, but I feel as though I am physically incapable of making any jokes myself. I wouldn’t even have to worry about going too far: most of the society is also autistic to some degree (and therefore able to understand), and any particularly edgy humour is always perpetuated by the members it’s about (if that makes sense).

However, I also believe I have benefited somewhat from my sense of justice. I refuse to use AI in any capacity (even when we would be allowed for our work), due to the environmental and social consequences. I would say that having to actually understand what I’m doing is far better than the alternative – meanwhile, most people I know are using Gemini to write their shellscripts.
