Been using Linux Mint - Cinnamon starting over two years ago just before Spring. Made the decision to take the plunge when at the time, Windows 10 was going to lose support in 2025 and hated the idea of upgrading to Windows 11. Glad I made that leap, because it's been a pretty good experience and everything felt like a breath of fresh air, especially since you can actually change the fonts of everything on the desktop as well like you could Windows 7 and earlier iterations of that OS and I can even still do the gaming that I enjoy, what with proton and even Heroic.

Even decided to get a 1TB drive for my Zenbook and pop Linux Mint onto that. Since then, no computers I have, be it laptop, or even netbook have any iteration of Windows.

As for the netbook, an EEE PC 1000HE model, I would take it with me to a library just to mess about with it, which has MX Linux running on it, which sadly the 32-bit version will lose support in 2028, which is a bit of a shame.

Thank you so much for hosting this lovely place. It has been a peaceful place from all the louder places of the web and it still is.

Who cares if there's a spat with the United States after this? If this nation can inconvenience its own populace with age-gates like they've been doing with these age restricted codes and standards as well as the social media ban for under 16s, they can make some sort of effort, however half-assed it might be to block the viewing of such barbarism should the US actually go through with it.

The United States continues to be the embarrassment of the world and we've been America's bitch plenty long enough at this point.

Been pretty nice a day, despite the fact I woke up and suddenly had a migraine and ended up laying down in bed for a good amount of hours. Hours that could have been spent playing about on my C64U and working toward completing Briley Witch Chronicles.

In agreement, the Greens are still a better option than what Labor's offering, given how things are with that party sucking up to the demands of the US, among other things. An end to the nonsense that is AUKUS would be more than beneficial for this country, and the recreational use of cannabis would be most beneficial, especially for those who live with chronic pain.

I have hoped and still have hope things can be turned around by the Greens, as they are a true refresher from the uniparty.

They said they wanted to replace Labor. This isn't how it's fucking done, at all. As someone who has hoped the Greens could fix things one day, what in the everloving name of fuck is wrong with them!?

She has done well leading, now is the time for her much needed rest and recovery.

May the next in line lead the Greens to greater success and greater heights.

Not sure if Roy Morgan is acceptable a source, but here is stating it. The front page to it, as well.

Nah, don't think we will. We are absolutely superior in terms of safety so we should be allowed to gloat in sheer arrogance and rub it in as much as we can.

When it comes to being safe, we are kings!

All in the name of thinking of the children. Doesn't it just make you proud to be Australian?

Seriously though, screw these age-restricted codes being spewed and being an inconvenience to everyone on this part of the marble.

Good to see that the nation's revolutionary law is a booming success! /s

I have sent Molly some verification, going with the alcohol route eight days ago. However, I haven't heard anything back so far, so I can't say for sure if I am approved or not.
