I can’t remember much about it now, but I remember really wanting BeOS. I managed to get it installed once, but couldn’t get the internet working, so ended up uninstalling it.

Awesome, thank you :)

If you do find the name, could you post it here please? It sounds like it could be good :)

Because it’s a scam, and they’re trying to find as many victims as possible 👍

Ga ga goo goo ;)

Exactly this. I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone say anything like goddamn shitbiscuit, and only heard things like god fucking dammit when they’ve had time to stop and think about it.

It’s much more likely for someone here to grunt or suck through their teeth, or maybe something short like shit.

If the people resisting them were somehow gaining from it, I could understand, even if I don’t agree, but there are way too many people who resist just because they saw something on social media, and are too stupid and selfish to take the time to think it through.

I’ve got a Lexmark laser printer, and while there are cheaper subscription toners, you can pay the higher price for normal toner, and buy compatibles, for now at least.

Typical, I’ve just spent several hours over the last few days downloading everything manually 😫

If it makes you feel any better, I did something just as infuriating a few years ago.

I had set up my home media server, and had finally moved it to my garage with just a power cable and ethernet cable plugged in. Everything was working perfectly, but I needed to check something with the network settings. Being quite new to Linux, I used a remote desktop tool to log in and do everything through a gui.

I accidentally clicked the wrong item in the menu and disconnected the network. I only had a spare ps/2 keyboard and mouse, and as the server was an old computer, it would crash if I plugged a ps/2 device in while it was running*.

The remote desktop stayed open but frozen, mocking me for my obvious mistake and lack of planning, with the remote mouse icon stuck in place on the disconnect menu.

*I can’t remember if that was a ps/2 thing, or something specific to my server, but I didn’t want to risk it

I’ve genuinely seen someone doing something similar.

A group of us went bowling for a friend’s birthday, about 25 years ago, and were having a great time. All of a sudden there was this really loud sort of crashing boom, so loud that everyone instinctively flinched, and we all looked around to see what the noise was.

A few lanes over was a group of young girls in their early teens, and one was standing at the line for her lane holding the bowling ball like a shot put. As she was launching the second ball, staff were running in from all directions to try to stop her.

That’s good to know, thanks :)

I’ve got a few services running on my aging media server, so I want to start doing it properly, and getting a proper home sever going. I’ve used ssh for some of the basics in the past, but I need to start using that more too :)

Unfortunately I do both. I struggle to sleep, but then I lose track of time and stay awake until the early hours. When I do eventually fall asleep, I often sleep for over ten hours and make it worse.

You guys sleep?

Yes, sorry. I woke up in the middle of the night, but apparently my brain didn’t…

I’ll correct it now 👍

Briar is the one that was mentioned a lot when the protests were happening in Hong Kong, if that helps 👍

I’ve only just set it up, mainly for the facial recognition. I had no idea that it could do that type of search too. It’s going to be really helpful with my faulty brain and not remembering words 🙂

I missed that one, thanks for the link 🙂

The team are helpful too, and helped me with a question when I set it up 🙂
