It looks like a website with a lot of tech oriented marketspeak, and little else unless I'm missing something.

Had this happen too. Grew up in Alaska. My sister and I got turned around and told to go home by the cops because the schools were all closed. I have no idea how cold it was but it was cold enough that exposed skin started to burn a few seconds after stepping out the door.

Found in a time capsule in 2150: hey guys, we left you a little something over there by Vesuvius...you'll thank us later. And you better not have built a McDonald's on it...

Thumbs up for announcing it's creation so we can pre-emptively block it though.

Using Obsidian with mega on desktop and FolderSync covering syncing the android side of it. Works fine.

"States have a right to decide on issues!"

"Not like that though!"

Ian M. Banks's Culture series is pretty good sci-fi.

Just adding my congrats. Good job, OP. Regex is super useful stuff.

Command line is a lot more powerful for a lot of cases. Most CLI programs are written with the idea that the caller might be another program, so they tend to be easy to chain with pipes and redirection. So you have tons of simple tools that you can combine however you need.

  1. I generally aim newbies at Mint, but ubuntu derived distros are pretty easy and stuff often 'just works'. That's why my daily driver is xubuntu.

  2. All over the place, really. Another advantage of ubuntu derived distros is you'll find a lot of the tutorials and stuff will assume you're using ubuntu. I just hit a search engine if I need help with something.

  3. Can't help you there I'm afraid.

Betterbird maybe? I don't really use Thunderbird much so not 100% sure what it had before. 😁

FWIW, a few months ago I nuked windows on an old laptop and installed Xubuntu and it was a whole lot more responsive.

(Disclaimer: I actually like Xfce.)

Mint is a solid 'shit just works' choice too, especially for beginners.
