It also had lots of fun facts to boot, including statistics about broccoli.

I'm pretty sure that Mulan was a great heroine. Also I think you were using the wrong language.

I kind of did and it took a distro or two... But arch (EndeavourOS) is keeping me on track with all tasks I need to perform at work (one program is wine based, and office is dealt with just fine with libre - I'm a high school teacher by the way) and well ... I used the command line to use ghostscript and OCR some documents. This was all right inside Linux by the way, no downloading extra packages. It worked goddamn fine.

I was really worried I'd need to use Foxit Phantom Pdf just to edit a pdf a couple of weeks ago, but libre office draw was very little hassle, with the exception of a bit of shifting of text.

I used OnlyOffice thinking 'Hey, this is a really similar alternative to MSO!' Then bugs with slide previews and their ordering happened in the middle of presentations and even worse, memory usage ground my laptop to a halt (electron apps open up with close to 1GB of memory, such as obsidian).

Libre office still hasn't crashed and the slide previews are accurate. The interface has always been a bit...unrefined even with the new tabbed layout but I can live with that.

PowerPoints suffer from lack of smart objects, and in the case of using Linux, font conversion. But it's just that we've got to persevere with it. 😅

Kevin Hines is one of those failed suicides who now talks suicide prevention. His perspective on changing his mind starting to fall is probably common to all suicides.

I saw this too and I really wanted it. The Sony shop/showroom assistant (in Japan) told me it was discontinued and just there for show.

I think the Japanese just preferred the old school SLR. I can see the Chinese getting pretty excited about this one though.

As always, first impressions count. There is no way I'm starting to call it engine x now, except for fun.

Just like the first smash when you're playing pool, quite a few balls are going down the table while a couple might go off up the table. There's a net movement down the table. It gets more complicated because we're talking balls of different masses and a bit of relativistic speeds, but analysis will reveal what those masses are and hence the net direction of the momentum and thus the direction of the velocity.

Mind isn't self. Those thoughts eh...
