Thank you : )

Yes. In the last few years “stable” gets thrown around an awful lot for bleeding edge Arch, Tumbleweed, etc. Anything people feel their system didn’t crash so it counts as being stable…

FYI, Pulse and Pipewire are two different audio servers, not just branding.

Pipewire should be more like JACK, but easier to use like PulseAudio. That was the whole point of it.

If you are talking about OpenOffice, that’s different. The other user suggested OnlyOffice, so try that and see if the formatting issues are there too.

And if ever unsure, look up Firefox on flathub; every app page shows the command line instructions for installing and for running it.

Like 15 years ago I was big on a meatball and sauce recipe from him. Loved it, but stopped eating it years ago and can’t find it again.

Is your information applicable to the nouveau drivers? I’d understood they’re many years behind in performance and capability but blender has never been in my use case.

Did you say to throw these cops into a hole.

I think there’s a lot more points of failure than you suggested.

That’s what was said when Windows 8 launched, and then again when support ended for Windows 7, and again when extended support ended for Windows 7.

The only thing that ever really had an effect on Linux user numbers was the Steam Deck.

At the warning screen, B A Down A Start Start (Spells BADASS)

Activates cheat mode, and then you can use the password screen to input cheats. But the only one I used is MONEY which starts you with 10,000 dollars or something.

Ha, yes, I remember pretty much the entire Linux community dropped KDE 4. What a time for a rebranding.

I like to think those internal communications were “goddamnit this torrents got no fucking seeders too!”

Sorry. I don’t know anything like that. The creator of TapRoot method used to provide newsletters talking about how/why he developed it, advantages over other methods, etc.

But I don’t know if he still does.

Recently have seen a video about the 5 why root cause analysis, which talked about a logic tree to find root causes and that was nice. Obvious, but nice to hear about.

Five why has very limited uses in practice when investigation root cause. I teach the basics of Five Why to staff so they can follow up low level incidents without my help, but I make sure to always review their findings.

If there is any meat to an incident I step in with proper root cause analysis like ICAM or TapRoot. With practice you can make short work of incident investigations for even smaller incidents that don’t warrant a significant investigation.

Consulting. I’ve done a little bit of it before as an occupational hygiene consultant. In a 2 week period I’d done air quality tests at a sulphuric acid processing plant, noise dosimetry at a bread factory, management system audit at Shell petroleum, and reviewed findings of air quality tests at a building where half the workers were “getting sick all the time”.

But it’s not consistent work, and if you go into business for yourself; 1- good luck finding the work, and 2- have fun spending months chasing up invoices.

They blocked Pirate sites here in Australia years ago, and as far as I’m aware it affected nobody. Everyone who knows how to torrent already knows how to get by it.

Well this is just off the top of my head, but… bribe the captain with beer and cooking.

I think Slitaz is still around, I always liked that for older machines, I was going to try it on an AMD C-50 laptop I pulled out of storage recently, except I don’t have time for messing around.

I clean mine by soaking in hot water and scrubbing with a nylon bristle dishwashing brush. I don’t have a dishwasher. This is working great, but the key is I’m doing it after every 2nd or 3rd time I use the air fryer.

It’s a new one, we had to throw our old one out because we didn’t wash it well enough and it gunked up so badly it was almost unusable and started smoking whenever you turned it on.

I did get the gunk off with thorough scrubbing but it damaged the shit out of the non stick coating, we weren’t gonna risk using it like that.

Taking real good care of the new one.
