Don’t you mean the Gouda stuff? 😉


Thanks for reminding me of this. I did see the original post but, how soon we forget.


I heard a different take yesterday from Corey Doctorow that the real concern is global economic collapse!
Not something I’d considered, but I would say a frightening possibility!


Sorry for your loss

Not a book, but Brian Eno’s “Oblique Strategies”
Seconded. And if you want to avoid the Ubuntu sh!t you can go for Mint DE (Debian edition)

Maybe. But you won’t know until you actually try.


Just following up on many of the comments that ask, are you allowing enough rest/recovery? … I have a Garmin watch that gives a training status that I find a good indicator of whether my exercise is benefiting me or not. If my “load” is the same or going up and my “fitness” is going down it’s a good indicator that I’m not getting enough rest or that my current exercise has plateaued. I find it a good prompt to rethink what I’m doing.


And while I’m not disagreeing with this, it is also ok to check in with yourself and notice “ok, I have uncomfortable feelings” but then ask the question “Am I in danger?”. We all get uncomfortable some times but we’d never do anything new if we always stop ourselves just because we’re uncomfortable. The trick is learning the difference between good/safe uncomfortable and bad/dangerous uncomfortable, and to learn that you need to practice being with your feelings. Read up about exposure therapy.

I get the bitter taste in the mouth, but when the alternative is Windows??? I made my choice and bought an iMac recently so that I could finally ditch the last windows pc in the house (everything else is Linux). And then had my work PC updated to Win11 last week. Uggghhh …
This is brilliant: “automating yourself from complexity only means you add layers of somewhere else”. Need to tattoo this on my forearm!
