Having been there, that’s a lot less than I would have imagined it to be. But that means nothing.

Welcome to the club. Your lan port is over there. (Insert broadcom chip joke here)

I’ve been quite enjoying Mint as well. Granted, it’s been reeeal light use. But so far loving it. I’ve always enjoyed Debian distros. RHEL can kiss my butt. It was always frustrating to work with at work. I think Slackware was Debian? That was probably my first back in like 2004ish. Generally just works™

Too real indeed.

Nope, it does not. You can install a kernel made just for surface devices and you’ll get mouse emulation via touch, but Mint doesn’t have Wayland yet and it’s my understanding that Wayland is where all the good things, like gestures, lives. So, I’m waiting for that but it honestly works fine without the touch. I’d use it if it was there, but it’s fine honestly.

That said, I’ve been using Linux/osx as my primary at work for a lot of years now so I’m super unfamiliar with even basic sysadmin stuff on Windows, so I’m happy that the surface is now on Linux. Need to move my desktop to it one day, but I honestly almost never use it.

Just installed Mint on my Surface Pro 4 that’s been sitting in a drawer for years and guess what, it’s now useable again! Praise be Linux.

Bainbridge! I love taking the ferry over there!

Thanks!!

Thank you!

Same. I have an interview with a cool sounding company tomorrow!

There’s a joke here about using echo "some python code" > main.py in here somewhere but I can’t find it. Imagine I did instead.

Dear god yes. Please just let me deal with the conflict before the kids make it worse.

Oh, you know what they did.

You let people CALL you!? The horror.

My wife hates this. Notifications are the devil. I don’t need them or want them. I will check in when I damn well feel like it. If I don’t, I’m probably busy.

Haaaa! I haven’t heard about Jabber in waaay too long. Thanks for the memories.

Accurate. Also, these are the right comments to make publicly during stand-ups.

I think you’re pretty close. I think it is aliens (of some kind) but if not, it also means that either my government is lying to me (par for the course) or there’s some real crazy people high up that need to go.

So, even if it’s not something beyond our current belief about life or there’s some real fuckery that needs to be dealt with swiftly.

Based on the UAP Disclosure Act, I’m feeling pretty confident it is aliens of some kind. But at the very least, it sure looks like we’re gonna get a lot more than “yes, there are things in the sky our government cannot identify”.

Either way, the last few months have been a wild ride and ive enjoyed every moment of it. But, if it’s fuckery, my congresspeople and senator are gonna be hearing a lot more from me than they already have. Personally, I’m done with being lied to about shit like Iraq and funding the war machine and it’s time to focus on the real issues at hand. I just think one of those is gonna be ayylmaos.

Read Schumer’s bill if you want even more “are you being serious?” Moments like that

Yep. Grusch coming out was the moment I started thinking “hmmm” then Schumer’s amendment to the NDAA was a “Wait, you’re being serious…” moment. So, I’m pretty convinced now. Totally cool with being wrong, but I’m getting real close to falling off the fence until proven otherwise.
