I installed Mint on an old laptop and had sound issues with external speakers. Spent 30 mins trouble shooting until I realized there was something with the port that if you fully pushed in the aux cable, it went in too much and the contacts don’t fully meet. There was a sweet spot where the cord is plugged in correctly but not pushed in too much.

I was on linkedin last night and saw Canonical is actually hiring and there are a lot of open positions.

This is my thought as well. Farms are just picking the sweetest ones and breeding those because they get better “yields” in terms of selling their fruit.

Up until my mid-twenties, yes. Lived in a tropical country and no A/C, just fans. I only started using a blanket when I finally lived in a place with A/C.

That’s really dependent on how your work manages user workstations. If your employer is big enough to have managed endpoints, you’ll need to convince your IT department, not just your boss. They’ll have to be able to officially support it (compatibility, updates, security, legal, etc.) and that also requires approval from higher ups.

Similar to the blood-brain barrier, we have a kitchen-bathroom barrier policy. Tools for each space should never cross, even cleaning tools. So even brushes for the sinks are separate.

Wait really? I used to work at a place where we cleared out HDDs with a degausser. I’m pretty sure that thing wasn’t as strong as a car junkyard magnet.

I dunno man, Depp seems like he would stink and have bad breath.

Take the comment you replied to with a grain of salt. IOS and Android are not rolling release unless you use their beta versions, so the analogy is not correct. Ubuntu and its derivatives have slower release cycles in order to ensure they’re stable. But it doesn’t mean packages are “stale”. A rolling release distro will give you bleeding edge updates at the risk of something breaking once in a while. If you work on stuff like music production, you absolutely will be better off with a more stable distro.

Fire in the Sky. Still haven’t rewatched it decades later.

The fact you recognize that means you’re not the arrogant “intelligent” guy in the meme.

It’s crazy, but I want to believe that 4chan post from supposedly a government insider. I can’t remember everything, but the aliens are supposedly not coming from space, but are already here and have an established base underwater. That’s why the credible military sightings are over the ocean and the UAPs appear to dive into the water. There’s also another theory that the aliens are in fact humans from the far future, trying to warn humanity about what it’s doing to doom the planet. But I don’t understand why they can’t just make the message clear and have to resort to vague UAP sightings.

Home maintenance and minor fixes. I’m sure the new homeowners will appreciate that.

Lmao an SCP actually breaching containment.

Yeah, I’m all against social media surveillance, but this was on the jumbotron at a concert. Having said that, I do hate those segments in concerts and sports where they feature audiences on the screens without consent. It’s not like there’s a line in the customer agreement when buying tickets that you allow your face to be featured (unless there is?). That’s why I always make myself as boring as possible - either just sitting with a straight face, or eating something - so I don’t get singled out.

Hard synths vs soft synths. Hard synth purists scoff at soft synths because they are not “authentic” and merely simulations. Soft synth snobs scoff at hard synth users because they are old timers who can’t move on to the future. Both are fine, do what you want. At the end of the day, what matters is if the music you produce is actually good.
