Presupposes that you’ve used some of my other five words.

Reserves an Honourable mention, though.

Five.

1. Beer
2. Taxi
3. Restaurant/Food
4. Train/Airport
5. Hello

Extensive research conducted all over the world. I love Asia but am awful with the language(s). French/France is my favourite place.

Clothes are meant to be used

Only if you’re not the one doing the frigging washing and ironing.

The (apparent but elusive) hole in my bottom lip and Spaghetti Bolognese are the primary cause for my disquiet.

Context: am old fart from the time of white work shirts and still like white or pale colours today. Wtf are dark suits and dark shirts about? That’s clubbing clobber.

Flip a coin.

Not because it’s anything to do with the coin, but because, by the time it lands, you will either be trying to rationalise the way it landed or be happy that it landed that way.

In other words, you’ll have already made up your mind what to do by the time it lands.

The coin only represents the finality of being good with what you’ve chosen; some might say the urgency element.

This.

Old fart here. Loyalty doesn’t figure in business anymore. That’s not a cynical position, it’s a true position, especially in relation to staff.

Loyalty actually stops you doing what’s best for the company because you will be disinclined to present momentum which might undermine (accidentally or otherwise) someone to whom you are loyal.

Because Microsoft were always really privacy and security focused.

Yes, pretty sure no-one is going to (be able to) look back on Gen Z and remember their achievements, except maybe in a negative way.

Upvoted with caveats

I choose clean OSs with minimal additional code and settings added by distro maintainers. Fedora is fairly good. ArchLinux is excellent.

ArchLinux actually makes quite a good first distro if you’re willing to learn GNU/Linux. If you grew up with the early non-NT (DOS) Windows then you’re more than used to trying to squeeze the most out of Windows by learning how it works. That was a long time ago now.

I moved from Windows to Linux just after the turn of the century because Microsoft were making it more difficult to use your own OS on your own machine.

After Fedora Core 4+ I ended up using ArchLinux for the longest time. It’s early adoption of systemd was a factor, as was the rolling nature.

Fedora seems favourite as you’ve used it. There’s a new version due toward the end of March so you may want to hang on, to avoid legacy stuff being upgraded. Maybe they’ll remove the x11 drivers. Fedora has changed a lot but you’ll want to install the other repos first thing and there’s also a large move towards flatpak (which works very well).

There’s also the inst.sdboot install flag to avoid the legacy grub install.

I don’t find the install very easy to understand, compared to things like Debian but it’s worth the fiddle.

ArchLinux is the other alternative.

“Your” content? I seem to remember that everything you post is their (meta’s) content.

Why would they delete their own content?

I don’t seem to have a political creed anymore.

I believe in honesty and being honourable.

Car wouldn’t start.

Do it as two separate commands to learn which is causing you the issues.

Is debootstrap the latest and greatest? It’s on Fedora so you can’t always guarantee it’s up-to-date wrt Debian.

Curiously enough I tried to use the rpm/dnf packages on ArchLinux, to create a new Fedora with Ansible, with less than stellar results. It happens that way sometimes.

Tbh. It’s the same in the UK. Our governments, of both sides, are killing any perception of privacy we had and no-one is doing/saying anything.

Having said that people are mostly dealing with the terrorist inspired killings here that the are allied to the immigration issue.

The people have had enough, the governments of the last twenty years have been obvious or more likely not looking (at the disquiet).

There isn’t enough room to think of the loss of privacy/security yet. We are in a hell of a mess.
