Dickes’s work pants are always like this, horribly inconsistent. But they were cheap and they last forever so you just have to grab a pile of the same size, try them all on and buy the ones that fit. Good luck ordering online…

This weekend, I gave my girlfriend’s dad a nice computer with Linux mint installed. I put a shortcut to windows 11 setup to run in virtualbox, in case there were things that he felt he needed windows for (to spare him the frustration of needing to tinker too much if he didn’t want to).

Down with Microsoft spyware.

Windows 11 is enshitified enough to be annoying and loaded with government and corporate spyware enough to be alarming. Meanwhile, Linux has become user friendly, optimized for everything but the latest hardware and capable of running most games.
