Just adding to this, Linux is pretty ubiquitous these days, with it being found running billboards, menus, information screens, and many machines and appliances.
Though these versions are stripped down and no what you are used to from a desktop. They just have the kernel and a few services for the task at hand.
It really was a great thing. It happened naturally too. Started as just a site I posted my writing to, a personal site in 1997, and friends wanted to add their stuff. By 1999 it was renamed from Routhy’s Den to the Den of Amateur Poetry, and then the domain was purchased and the site renamed to The Den of Amateur Writing.
I still remember the pre-PHP days. People would email their works to me and I would manually build an HTML page and update the site within 24 hours.
This is why I shut The Den of Amateur Writing down after 25 years of running and developing it. I had written the entire codebase for Googles SEO, rolled out the update so my users would see a bit more traffic trickle in, and then watched them delist all my URLs 3 months later when this change rolled out. I just gave up. It was taking way too much of my life fighting googles bullshit to provide a free community.
Because I dont need to pay rent for my files and I don’t have to worry about AI and VCs trying invade my privacy.
Yeah, Im excited about the cards but getting a 1GB switch with a 10g uplink was expensive… 10g switches are… a lot.
I still have my original PS3. Had to replace the hardrive once.
Still have the Wii, which had a bad disk reader in the first 30 days. I had to send it to the repair shop in Toronto and they had it fixed and back to me within 48 hours for free.
My first XBox 360 lasted 2 days past it’s 1 year warranty date and died. Disk drive thought everything was a DVD. MS wanted $100 for repairs plus shipping. I bought a used 360 instead for $80. That one also died 1 year later, red ring. Next one I bought a replacement, one of the lower end models. Lasted 10 days past the 1 year warranty… Then thought everything was a DVD… This keeps going. By the time 2016 rolled around I had gone through 10 of those pieces of shit. I finally gave up on the games I liked on that system, and I’ve never bought a new MS system since. I honestly wonder what their true sales were if you deduped it by removing replacements from their tally.
I have my original PS2, PS3, PS4, GameCube, SNES, Wii, Switch.
There are quality gaming consoles out there, and then there’s whatever the fuck MS spews onto the market.

Well… it’s a door. At least my ass will be closed for business after that.
Trial at Bernies? OK WERE DOING TRIAL AT BERNIES! This is going to be legend-wait for it…
The beauty is that you can shove Pi in it of course.
Hence the groups having the ticket name related to the task I am working on. When the task closes I delete that group once I’ve ensured anything important for future context is documented and then I say goodbye with confidence.
I don’t bookmark things for work tasks, I log them in tickets or commit it to readme/code comments/team docs somewhere.
Edit: I should also note that my workflow uses Simple Tab Groups and not much of this new core feature.
Simple tab groups hides all other tabs and you switch groups via a dropdown. I usually only have 10-12 tabs open at once.
It’s Twitter in a trenchcoat saying “whats up fellow fediverse apps”.
Agile and task reprioritization at work.
Too many projects to work on at home.
Games.
The way they did it though… the tab group name cant be collapsed so it takes a lot of room. I find I’m still using task oriented groups from the Simple Tab Groups extension, and then using the new core groups feature as a way to group subtopics for that task.
And before you say “you must have a million tabs”… I used to have millions of tabs, but now i average less than 100 when I have a lot of tasks I need to balance, and I know what all of them are open for. So when I complete a task I delete the Simple Tab Group and say bye to all those tabs.
I just hoarded this gif
Thats because for some ungodly reason they use Apple Maps. Not sure why they dont integrat with an OpenStreetMaps like service. At least that way users can start contributing to fill the gaps
Nah, Germans have a delicious hot potato salad with no mayo, mayo salads are a North American thing. The French have a potato salad with no mayo as well.
Many people have FODMAP sensitivities and confuse them for gluten.
