[Adventures in Linux Mint land, and moaning] Yeah, i thought it would be cool to try Linux but bloody hell, just creating the USB stick to boot it from is a real pain in the bum!

You deserve 45 seconds of cuteness.

Just learning to levitate.

Ah fuck right off Microsoft! Support for Publisher will stop in 2026 and then you won't be able to open publisher files. Yeah, I know it wasn't the most popular app and it had issues. But for many amateur uses like making a poster or a small leaflet, it was perfectly acceptable […]

This is Roland Hi Ha Tremblay, a character by Quebec stand up comedian Michel Barrette. In French, we don't pronounce "h", so we call him "Ee-Ah". Clown like figure, "Ee-Aa" is uneducated and prone to lying and tell tall tales... In French, Artificial […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

Me: Bon soir [with Québec's accent] My wife: Fuck arse twat shit bitch cunt... Me: whaaaat? My wife: You just wished me good swear!!!

[Linux and old laptop, input and advice welcome] Decided to do it. I WILL make my mum's old laptop into a Linux laptop. But I have a hurdle. The WiFi doesn't work on my current home router. It does work with my phone when I turn it into a hot-spot though. So, is it a hardware problem, or a […]

Ad on YouTube: "do you have adhd? Take the test." I tap on it. 26 questions. With ads in between. These guys definitely know nothing about adhd...

Got my acrylic pens out, after a long time...

The Asian ladybug, Harmonia axyridis, is, of course, a predator. I managed to photograph it thanks to its dead bug strategy—the lens was too close, so the bug froze, even though it had been darting around the moss until then. Ladybugs are doubly protected – […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

[Moaning about AI and Sora in particular...] Yet, another way AI is ruining our life. My other half is on Instagram and a big fan of silly little funny clips like pranks, falls, drunken falls, animals doing unusual things and so on. I'm not on Instagram but I love snuggling by her watching a […]

It's becoming increasingly clear to me that Reflect Orbital's fucking stupid giant mirror satellite, with absolutely NOTHING useful to offer, which will cause countless safety issues, ecological disasters, and destroy the night sky, is going to launch. A bunch of astronomers and I have sent out […]

I just came up with a new insult: "You little dirty fuckmonger" Now, how can I get ot registered? Is there a regulatory body where it can be accredited?

At lunchtime Supply teacher app: we offer you a cover in 40 minutes. Me: refuse App: give us a reason Me: Because I'm halfway down a pint of strong beer and already over the driving limit [delete delete delete] Because it's too far and won't make it on time [delete delete delete] unavailable […]

My life as a road movie. (WIP)

Not watching #monsterdon but I've seen this film before and from the toots, I know exactly where everyone is at.

Too many years on Mastodon is starting to influence the way I think in unforeseen ways... My mum has an old laptop and all I'm thinking is whether it would work well on Linux. Jeez, even looked at various distros...

Sometimes when you find someone is unwilling to learn or change their mind about an issue it's because someone they care about, someone they respect has a certain view. And they think changing their mind would be put distance between themselves and that person. No mountain of facts or […]

I have a dream to one day complete a graphic novel, which i put on ice because life got in the way (health, work, emigrating... you know, normal stuff). So things settled down and I realise my problem is and always been backgrounds. They're either rubbish or it takes me too much time so it's […]

I've been disciplined so i don't have many open, but it's time to do a tab closing session! Got about just below 40 open. Will link and comment on the most interesting. First off, a bit of news on AI. Yet another study (from a private consultant) showing that the productivity gains promised […]

Jesus Christ, YouTube, what have I done for you to think i would like THAT?!?

Okay, someone needs to explain to me the rules of Rugby in a very succinct way. You've got 1h20m... #rugbyworldcupfinal

My British other half and 15 year old son found the French word "noblesse" very funny...

No, Google, it's not because I made a humouristic toot about Jesus once, yesterday, that I'm interested in the Mormon Church. #surveillancecapitalism #targetedads

Jesus chased a demon possessing a poor bugger, and the Pharisees were like "if demons listen to him, that's because he's in league with them". Jesus replied: "do you realise how fucking stupid you sound?"

Cowards.
