That's me, if settling on an atomic Fedora (Bluefin DX) counts.

It's the most painless setup I've used, and everything I need to be productive is ready to go. Tweaking everything doesn't have the appeal it used to.

Is Gnome even bloated? I've settled on it because it mostly just works and stays out of my way.

It's not just printers. Laptops recognise people who are willing and able to crack them open. I've had multiple family members claim their problems disappeared the instant I gave their device a stern look.

The band öOoOoOoOoOo is a bit unwieldy.

Supposedly pronounced as "caterpillar" in whatever language you prefer.

The whole thing is disingenuous. The use of "Aspergers" is partly discontinued because of fascist associations. It shouldn't be surprising that people don't want to use a classification termed by people who wanted to sort useful autistics from the disposable (as they saw it).

Pebbles were the best. Having one taught me a lot about the best tech not having all the bells and whistles. It's better to have only what you need done well.

Three times in my life I've been in proximity to large bushfires, alone with no transport.

I did the whole routine with stopping gutters and getting hoses ready, but in a couple of those places there wasn't much water pressure to work with.

Lucky the wind never turned in my direction.

At the rate she churns them out, yeah it's not too surprising.

If she doubled down on bad takes it would really be a problem, but I'm not aware of that happening.

Or a sealed window.

Some of them are coding their own.

I'm pretty sure I saw this exhibition in Las Vegas. I assumed it was the more famous one when I entered, but the more I saw, the more I realised all the bodies were Chinese. Closer inspection of the promotional material put the clues together.

It was fascinating because human anatomy is cool, but knowing they weren't voluntary donations really soured the experience.

I've always had it, but I get more sensitive if general inflammation is activated.

Yesterday I was on a plane and someone was painting their nails or something. I couldn't even see who it was but I'm still feeling it.
