Hot sauce! Hot sauce on pizza! Hot sauce on pasta! Hot sauce on rice! Hot sauce on bread! Hot sauce in a spoon! Hot sauce on fruits! Hot sauce in a yoghurt because desserts are a social construct! Hot sauce on quiche!

Wait until they hear about Poundland.

When I was a kid I remember copying entire games in BASIC printed in popular science magazines. They never worked because my dads computer had a slightly different BASIC dialect.

Good times.

Look at how shitty our implementation is. We need a full refactoring.

In my time we didn’t paste LLM-generated code we barely understand and hoped it compiled, let alone work. We pasted code from stack overflow we barely understood and hoped it compiled and let alone work, as god intended.

Ooh that Alpa sweater is beautiful! Expensive, but beautiful!

Unless you’re really into online gambling 😅

ForgeAdour is a reputable brand from the French Basque Country. Made in Spain using European components.

They are more specialized in planchas but also make grills.

Also they make the damn best canned tomato pulp money can buy.

You mean bourbon is a okay-ish substitute to Irish and scotch whiskey?

My favourite French whiskey distillery is Ninkasi near Lyon, they’re one of the OG modern craft breweries in Europe and started distilling a few years ago. Awesome stuff.

My answer was more oriented towards not giving google any money but I agree with you on supporting the “good guys” instead of just not supporting the bad guys.

Buy second-hand then. You get a cheaper phone and you don’t give google a single cent. Win-Win.

And after aaaaaall you’re my terminaaaaaaal

Seconded, I moved my gaming rig is on Bazzite and has been trouble free and maintenance free ever since.

I installed Bluefin on the laptop I gave my father, and it’s been happily running trouble-free every single day since August without a single intervention. And my father is the kind of man who can conjure up unknown bugs, weird failures and random crashes by simple hand contact.

If you want the Amazon-like experience of an everything bazaar with a terrible UX and their own logistics (plus marketplace), cdiscount.com is a decent French alternative that serves a large part of continental Western Europe.

Thanks!

It won’t answer all of your answers, but it should at least give you a good primer on what distros are and what are the main key takeaways.

Seconded. I recently moved my gaming rig from Nobara to Bazzite because this machine is only occasionally booted, and I don’t want to spend the little time I have available for gaming doing maintenance instead. Except from a mounting error for my secondary drive that I made (bc after 20+ years on Linux I still can’t be arsed enough to learn how to fstab), I was in Cyberpunk 2077 in less than 5 minutes.

Pros:

• Easy setup, everything works out of the box
• A lot of preinstalled gaming-related packages and tweaks, plus a lot of QOL improvements over Silverblue/Kinoite
• Ready to game as soon as it’s installed
• No updates, no maintenance! Full system images are downloaded and installed in the background and are applied at reboot.
• Immutable so “impossible” to fuck up.
• uBlue projects are not distros but a delivery system, all the work is actually done by Fedora. No risk associated with a single-maintainer project like Nobara.

Cons:

• Immutable so “impossible” to fuck up.

Pro tip: don’t keep your Steam games on a Windows partition. They won’t launch.

Must know Jira, Python, Snowflake, dbt, how to find the will to live.

Nice ❤️
