Man survives being lost in California mountains for 10 days by eating berries (www.theguardian.com)

As McClish told it, the 34-year-old outdoors enthusiast from Boulder Creek, California, lost his bearings after beginning his hike the morning of 11 June. He had not informed anyone else of his plans, so it would not be until the afternoon of Thursday, 20 June, that the unkempt-looking hiker was found at the bottom of a remote...

Sounds like a mental issue.

Mysterious ‘Dark Fungi’ Are Lurking Everywhere (www.scientificamerican.com)

The land, water and air around us are chock-full of DNA fragments from fungi that mycologists can’t link to known organisms. These slippery beings are so widespread scientists are calling them “dark fungi.” It’s a comparison to the equally elusive dark matter and dark energy that permeates the universe.

Take care, you may start lichen-ing

WTF is ‘too much Bauhaus?’

Kick in the eye, I tell you.

EarthShipTechIntern ,

So … No guns for law enforcement.

Good. About time. So much good they did in Uvalde.

Take out hasn’t hiked?

Just wondering, cause I can’t afford take out.

EarthShipTechIntern ,

I lied. I’ve done take out (rarely) & noticed price shifts there. Everywhere.

Works on xubuntu. Though restarts are a common solution to no connection. That’s fine, I’d rather not spend extra juice to keep them Wi-Fi tethered.

EarthShipTechIntern ,

Change it, make it better. Market your version.

Or join conversations with developers so that it becomes better.

You are the development team as much as you want to be. It’s not Adobe.

Except that horizontal gene transfer happens.

Genes are not always gained from ancestors

The pioneers in some fields are calling for studying (or renaming it) INvolution as opposed to evolution, as it has much to do with involved interactions with other life forms (bacterial, fungal).

EarthShipTechIntern ,

Lack of applicable or pertinent information is still rampant.

Excess information of the stupifying type is everywhere.

Question for the writers or Q, not Picard.

Who I thought of when ‘publisher’ was mentioned.

Why would you use Google Play Store to download/install a foss app?

EarthShipTechIntern ,

We may need a new forum: when Google is RIGHT about a search.

You’ve given me some interest in Endeavor. My current installation won’t hibernate & restore.

EarthShipTechIntern ,

My system is even older. Still, everything was fine until I transitioned from 20.04 to 22.04.

EarthShipTechIntern ,

Valuation per employee…doesn’t pay the employees their worth. Or anywhere near it.

I was excited that the employees were logged as primary shareholders. Like every employee in every company should be.

EarthShipTechIntern ,

exactly

And works all the way to India!

Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with defenestratiosis? You may be entitled to financial compensation we will reclaim all your assets for our compensation, call the Kremlin now.

And boy, do they minister the defenestration. Internationally!

I seem to recall a few Russian heavy hitters falling from widows in India a few months back.

Great advice. Wish it had worked for Navalny.

Linux on old School Machines?

Hi all, the private school I work at has a tonne of old windows 7/8 era desktops in a student library. The place really needs upgrades but they never seem to prioritise replacing these machines. Ive installed Linux on some older laptops of mine and was wondering if you all think it would be worth throwing a light Linux distro on...

FreeGeek Portland has (had?) a sign: we clean windows.

All donated computers are scrubbed of previous data, tested & reassembled (if needed) & have Linux installed.

Oldest to newest hardware work fine.

Work 24 hours to take a system home. Training is free.

Edit. Adding:

They have a website & videos on how to use Mint OS (for browsing, gaming, homework & basics) for kids of all ages: FreeGeek Online

EarthShipTechIntern ,

Wholeheartedly agree!

To really learn computers, let them dig into all the guts (hardware & software). Of course letting them choose & install their top pick OS sounds like a great way to start.

Good luck!

I left windows as xp got replaced with 7.

If I were to install Windows as a dual boot, that’d probably be my choice (xp).

My current machine was a 7, but the previous owner had installed Ubuntu by the time I bought it. It’s slow enough, there’s no way I’d put myself or the computer through running windows.

Yes, I was born before the Internet was.

EarthShipTechIntern ,

Agree.

Cage all cops!

EarthShipTechIntern ,

I use xfce for as many monitors as I can plug in. It works, though more customization sounds lovely.

Looking forward to trying out AwesomeWM. Thanks for the idea!

Krita & gimp both can handle that

If he had any part in Tesla productions, he already would. Or any part of SpaceX.

He’s a funny guy.

Shit talking. Terrible pay, horrible management of awesome teams (SpaceX, Tesla) - though he enlists other people to help him with those despicable hobbling practices.

Same as Trump in many ways, recently. Though he’s not riding on Putin’s payroll as Trump has.

The CEO of Neuralink? I’m betting he understands rocket science & e-vehicles about as well as he does deep learning.

Capitalism: with driving seats for the most gloriously incompetent idiots & assholes. Narcissistic aspiring oligarchs? Welcome to the land of plenty.

Cameras from the 90s, maybe. New cameras don’t even weigh 5lbs.

EarthShipTechIntern ,

Picture is of an archaic camera. New cameras have no lbs of copper. Maybe oz

EarthShipTechIntern ,

Last time I was looking for lightweight distros, I found antix & MX. Both are nice, lightweight debian daughters.

That was over 10 years ago. Still inclined to use them for distros to give to people wanting to exit Windows, though all the voices for Mint make me want to check it out, too.

Best markdown editor or lightweight word processor on F-Droid?

I have an old Fire tablet that I've put LineageOS on. It's long in the tooth, but even with its crappy Amazon kernel it runs fairly nicely if I don't stress it. I'd like to have it as a no-distractions writing device with one of my mech keyboards paired to it....

EarthShipTechIntern ,

I’ve been using Open Markdown Notes

I haven’t noticed a synching capability…perhaps should do better knowledge of what I use …

Regardless, every few days it will drop some, sometimes all of the entry. I’ve been using it as a journal/logbook, loss is disheartening.

Just installed, Looking forward to Markor

Inspired by your mention of synch.
