There are also ice roads in Alaska. I was going to post my favourite Canadian one, but I can't since it's April. Going from Soutt to North in my province takes 22 hours in the winterm and is impossible in the summer.

They didn't invent evil, but they did perfect it.

Yep, at least in Canada "pavement" is either a sealed asphalt road surface, or the walking path in a garden or public park. Never the footpath on the side of a road, that's a sidewalk or footpath.

A more common term for them here is "brodozer". A portmanteau of "bro" and "bulldozer".

And your instance. They update at different rates.

What about the pin to unlock your phone? And at least here there's no pin with tap.

Crave already does an annual fee. IIRC it's one-time and about $100.

Well, I missed an entire paragraph, indeed it is. I read about SteamOS the first time, though.🤷

[–] dankm@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 year ago

Also true, but Android is also rarely if ever considered "desktop". ChromeOS could be, since it shares a market with Mac and Windows laptops, which also run "desktop" operating systems.

Anything less risks credibility.

[–] dankm@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Well that's pretty inexcusable then.

So, does this include ChromeOS? I'm not sure if I'd qualify it as either a desktop OS or "Linux" (in the traditional sense). But since there's enough room for debate there it's worth asking.

Oldest man. IIRC the oldest woman is a few years older.
