Didn’t John Key’s favourite turn out to resemble the ISIS flag a little too much?

I think there were some interesting options submitted but the Powers That Be selected some pretty dull ones for everyone to vote on.

SO’s boss is meant to be heading over for the ranfurly shield game tomorrow and was suffering jokes yesterday about the ferries getting cancelled. It’s definitely not the most reliable mode of transport lately.

Yeah, I feel for the couriers today, ducking in and out of warm buildings and cold winds.

Somehow the sun is out but it’s not a very nice day. I’m on my own in the office and regretting the fact I could have lugged my Bluetooth speaker to work for a Spotify day. Still, could be worse.

Happy monday!

I would try different things to see what I liked but I always came back to Fedora. I haven’t heard of Nobara but I like the sound of it; it looks like it bundles all the stuff I usually install the moment the DE is up and running.

Windows in a VM is a good idea but the way I distro-hop I should probably start with it the other way around. What is your main distro of choice?

That happens every time I make pikelets.

The Adobe suite for work and the Affinity suite for myself. I use scrivener too but I’m sure I’ve seen open source alternatives for that and it keeps everything buried in rtf if I get stuck.

I know there are open source graphics programs available but affinity is the best I’ve used (much better than Adobe) and the forum posts Ive seen about Wine aren’t encouraging.

Honestly, I think being on Lemmy is what put the idea back into my head in the first place. I have a permanent case of grass-is-always-greener so whatever I’m using, I want to be using something else.
