Learn to cook (which saves you money) and do all the house chores (including ironing).

Although it did have an nVidia card, my PC was an otherwise ordinary machine running Ubuntu, not a gaming rig or something custom built.

I love Linux. But I got so exasperated with system updates breaking X-Windows and dropping me into the console with no clue what to do, for some time I intentionally deferred the updates.

I wanted a stable daily driver, so in 2015 I switched from Linux to ChromeOS. Now I’m back to Linux with the Crostini container of ChromeOS and Raspberry Pi OS on a Raspberry Pi 400.

My first computer was a Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48K in the early 1980s when I was 17. My parents agreed to buy it and I used to device to learn about computers, which I was curious about as I had played a bit with the Apple IIe and the Sinclair ZX-81 of some classmates.

An alternative is to ask questions about features of the pitched product or offer.

Possibly saving time and resources.

Okay. But if a robocaller doesn’t lead to results, it may be programmed to give up on unpromising numbers.

While I don’t downvote posts with emojis I’m most interested in reading tech content, where emojis feel redundant and distracting.

Lisp, the language that has them all.

Text searches (e.g. page search in browsers) that do return results, but they don’t show up anywhere on the screen or aren’t highlighted.

I maintain a list of the tech and creator newsletters I subscribe to.

My favorite is chromeOS because it requires zero maintenance and I can access all my data, apps, and preferences in minutes on any compatible device by just signing into my account.

Lisp.

It just feels extremely natural to me, so it’s difficult to pinpoint specific features I like. But two such features stand out: the parantheses-based syntax and the extreme interactivity.

That explains why support agents beg for the highest rating.

Because they realize they can get away with pretty much anything.

I actually left Reddit in early 2022, I’m not from the latest migration wave. I left for a combination of these reasons, the first of which is the main one:

• algorithmic feed designed to arise strong emotions, often negative
• snark and noise in the comments
• ads
• impenetrable moderation rules that often make it difficult to figure why a post is rejected, even after carefully reading all the sub’s guidelines and FAQs cover to cover, as well as reviewing past threads

I live in a major Italian city, I’m well over fifty, and I’ve always drunk unfiltered water straight from the tap without boiling. Some Italians apparently don’t like the taste of tap water but it’s still safe to drink it unfiltered and unboiled in nearly all the country.
