    Got the bins in just before the rain came over. Sipping a coffee and watching the weather through my window is blissful.

    I’ve turned into an 80 year old somehow

    I might try a new Linux distro, Linux mint is boring. Any suggestions on what I should try? (Preferably not too hard I’m fairly new to Linux)

      I don’t know why that’s a problem. I want stability and efficiency in my OS. It isn’t like I use my computer for the OS, the OS is there to run software and entertainment and keep out of my way. Excitement hasn’t been a requirement for me.

      Personally, I use Fedora with KDE, but you could likely just install and switch window managers to KDE with your current Mint install. A fresh window manager can feel like a new OS.

      His Lordship is a big fan of Kunbuntu, personally I use slackware but that’s because I’m a masochist

    The Albanese government can absolutely go fuck itself. People earning $200,000 and over to get tax cuts equaling to $9000 a year, while low income workers get a measley $125 a year in tax cuts. Doing absolutely fuck all about the cost of living crisis while they’re at it. Can’t believe I voted for these useless pricks.

    Lamb rump steak consumed - with glee. The airfryer does them perfectly. Juicy pink insides, crispy fat and the potat & cauli mash went superbly with them. Does anyone else hate cleaning lamb fat out of the airfryer? This is the only downside.

    Asked a mate of a mate if they wanted me to download a couple of torrents for them since I’m going to meet them to watch a movie.

    Nek minit, I’ve ended up with JDownloader to manage a ton of debrid direct downloads and figured out SoulSeek (this place still survived after two decades?!) to get some random EDM flacs…

    Feeling very 2000s especially with having to configure port forwarding and fiddle with UIs that probably haven’t been updated since that era as well

    Trying a pressure cooker risotto tonight. Meatballs were incredible, so have high hopes.

    Edit. Well that was bloody amazing. 25 minutes total prep/cooking time.

    It’s annoying when people can’t or won’t acknowledge the hypocrisy in their argument. It can’t be ok for one group of people do something and not the other, just because you don’t happen to agree with their position.

    What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

    ain’t nothing like a facebook rando threatening to do very real physical violence to you because you pointed out Doctor Who has always been a bit camp.

      to be totally fair, Its gone from a bit more subtle to… drastically less so with Ncuti. I’m not complaining, but for the more oblivious viewers it might’ve been a bit of a shock.

        nah, it’s just actually moved with the times. Very gen Z aimed, but it’s a TV show, what do you expect?

        I think this arsehole is one of the old guard who’s all ITs SeRioUs ScIfI

        yes, it is on occasion. It’s also camp. And if he’s gonna try and anorak me I’ll fucking eat his head 'cos I’m equally old school and nerdy (40+ years)…I’ve just also got social skills and a sex life.

              I am that guy.

              Side note: That character is one of the best written characters I’ve ever come across. He’s so broken and flawed, but has such a big heart. He knows the parts of his personality that are not calibrated right and compensates for his issues by attaching to people he respects. I’d love to read more about him. Particularly about how he lived in the years before the last chapter of the last book.
