I have a performance exhaust on my bike. It comes with a decibel reducer which I keep on for daily use, and remove for road trips. Making noise in urban areas is a 100% dick move.

As a friend likes to say: " Look! there goes a son of a bitch riding a noise"

How safe is LURE?

I’ll gladly pay a premium for something that will be “buy it for life” or at least last decades. Phones and computers have inherent obsolescence, but most tools don’t. I don’t buy chinesium tools, I buy reputed European, American, or Japanese tools, the lifetime stuff.

finished DARK. Woahhhh!!! Starting The Acolyte. So far kind of meh. If by next chapter doesn’t improve, I’ll stop.

Don’t get me started on OneDrive

I think that the doctrine should be "anything Russia does or uses is allowed. Simple.

Is seeding anonymous?

Quick question: is Aurora dev desktop plus dev stuff, or less desktop stuff?

The good, the bad, and the ugly . Tapas or hamburger.

Not being able to say “I run Arch BTW” is a dealbreaker.

It’s comparing hardware, not OS

Slackware was my first distro, in the 90s, installed from diskettes, downloaded with a 9600 baud modem, FUN! (actually it was, wizard stuff at the time). I moved to Mandrake I think, then RH or another, and whenever I took a look at Slackware, it felt ancient when compared with these “glitzy”, for the time, distros. Maybe I should take a look again.

You being unable to install something in kinoite is just lack of research on your part,

OFC, That’s what I implied in my post. That I don’t want to tinker more than necessary. I’ve been doing Linux things since the 90s, installing from diskettes, spending hours and hours on the CLI, compiling shit on a 40Mhz 486… Right now I want something that mainly just works, mainly being the key word here. I don’t mind doing the odd tweak here and there, I just don’t want the tweaking to be a main feature.

In Spain a lot of stors disabled the system during covid, for highiene reasons. Some have returned and some still have tbe coin system disabled. Most people return them anyway. There is always the occasional asshole.

It’s no just Wuropeans, but the majority of the world

The only problem I have with Mint is that they are super conservative, which translates to stability, which in turn makes it less up todate in certain applications. While based on Ubuntu it un-shittifies by using flats instead of snaps, for example. I have not noticed any shennanigans like Ubuntus

If your glans was permanently exposed it seems like you were circumcised ( a botched circumcision by the looks of it).

I’m empathetic about your situation. I think it’s the best to make the best out of it. I simply say that saying all is OK makes it sound as it’s a trivial matter, and helps the practice keep being carried out.

That hat looks ridiculously small

I think it may be time to buy Boeing stock soon. I think major investors are finally seeing the writing on the wall, and are going to push for an engineer driven revival. These things take time and effort for such a behemoth, but with the right leadership and investor backing, it can be done.
