Bit rough. I’m doing the job of about 3 people this week as colleagues on leave. Lots of questions I don’t know the answer to and trying to catch the important things and let other stuff go. Time-boxing the day as much as possible and trying to draw strict lines between work and home.

Forced myself to leave the office and take a walk for lunch.

Hopefully I can sleep and not worry too much before it’s rinse repeat, tomorrow.

Works as a civil servant

Makes perfect sense.

Oh so true. Also, have ever looked at a word for long enough that it just doesn’t make sense?

Thanks for the horrifying mental image.

Not weighing in on opinions about the fella as I’m British and ‘not my politician’ but, just showed this to my wife who is a specialist in geriatrics for the NHS and she said she’d refer him for a scan querying either a vascular event or vascular dementia.

Oh shit that’s like 3 hobbies in this one thread. I stopped at a (very) decent Lamy 2000 and Iroshizuku inks.

Amun, am I going nuts or are the words moving around the slab?

Do not speak of the Griffin Interchange Format.

I’ve heard about Mint and it seems to have a good rep. My tech lead at work recommends it. I’ll look into all of these.

Dummy question but, I assume the commands/syntax across Mac terminal and whatever the bash/shell equivalent are similar/same?

Hi!

I’m a long time Mac user, but I want to set up a laptop or mini desktop (something not too old but powerful enough for image editing, really just for photography workflow), and try a Linux distro with FOSS tools for this purpose. I’m done with Adobe.

I’d like to scale one day to having a NAS of some kind.

I’ve experimented with Ubuntu before but it felt a little noddy, I just didn’t like it. Any recommendations? I’d like something with a decent community that would tolerate my noob questions.

Many thanks.

I third Memmy, but the amount of times I’ve gone to close a comment thread and it’s brought up the new comment dialog. And I can’t rotate an image to landscape, had no idea how often I did that. Still, old Apollo habits die hard. It’s a great contender.
