Had something similar, except that the code on the phone to dial 911 with the keys locked was #08. Keys were so sensitive I couldn’t keep my phone in my pocket, had to live in my bag or it’d be dialling emergency services.

You do a job providing services to people for the government and you vote for the folks who tell us that the government they’ll form is unable to do good…

For the lazy:

EXE GNU/LINUX (Devuan GNU/Linux with Trinity Desktop)

Exe GNU/Linux (originating from Exmouth, in south-west England) is a “Live Linux image” preconfigured with a selection of applications for general desktop use. The image, written to CD or USB, may be used to start almost any computer with an Intel or AMD processor and runs as a complete operating system…

A fixed disk installation can be done from the “live” session. This can replace Microsoft Windows (or other OS) or install as a dual-boot configuration.

The core system is a Devuan GNU/Linux base. Previous versions were based on Debian. Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) is preinstalled. Please note, this is not an “official” Devuan nor TDE project.

Included are various “system rescue” software tools and a small number of additional custom scripts and applications, e.g. the installer. Use and administration of Exe GNU/Linux is generally the same as official Devuan. Most Debian documentation and wiki articles also apply except that Debian’s “systemd” is not used. See “References” further down this page.

No non-free software is included. Some wireless devices and other hardware components may need proprietary firmware. Solutions are very well documented at https://wiki.debian.org/ .

Exe GNU/Linux images are available in 32- and 64-bit versions and are sized 650-700M. They may be obtained from the “Current Downloads” link on the left of this page.

Same. Except my first pc was running DOS on a black and amber CRT…so switching to Linux even part time in 2010 was pretty easy for me to wrap my head around in terms of CLI stuff.

After my back, my knees are the most fucked, followed closely by my shoulders and then hands.

Unless these things can take all or most off the strain off of my broken bits…not fucking interested.

Almost uncertainty for sure not, but probably potentially maybe.

I’ve got a foldable. Total game changer for when I’m on site trying to write up an invoice. Can have 3 windows open, timesheet, receipts and invoice spreadsheet. No swapping back and forth, it’s all just there.
Closed it’s a regular slab phone, open it’s a small tablet.
It’s not exactly rocket surgery…

Maybe

System latency, weird USB drivers that don’t play nice with my audio deck, video drivers won’t be kept up to date and compatible soon for gaming cards as it’s meant for commercial applications. Also fuck windows.

Yep! 👍

it seems things have improved dramatically.

Like maxo said, things are definitely waaaaaaaay better than 10 years ago.
I’d say roughly 80% of my windows only games run as good as on windows, and probably 25-30% of my full library (not just what runs in proton) runs better in Linux with proton/wine than they do in win11.
Mostly what doesn’t work is stuff with kernel level anticheat.

Nope.

Any day now!

My god… it’s like they’re already here!

🤣

Can’t wait to see what all the folk from ML make of this…

I’m not entirely sure we’re missing out on all that much with a few porn instances missing.

… obviously porn…you’re missing the porn

Wouldn’t charging money for blue checks or adding a subscription leave them open to lawsuits? That’s really the only reason I can think of, wanting to make money.

A fairly large portion of governments globally

10 and ^15/16ths sadly. It’s being marketed as AI boosted to 12 though!

Eh, it happens. If that was an honest attempt to troll…kids these days need to up their fucking game.
