"I'm afraid that you will not be allowed back into your home today. The Met Office [or whatever it's called] has said that the weather pattern is for snow. Unfortunately, it's the wrong type for your locale. Please make alternative living arrangements until further notice."

Why not? They've failed miserably at delivering cost effective rail transport - it's cheaper to fly from your local airport on Ryanair to Spain and back to the local nearest destination airport - they might as well have a go at fucking up housing.

Guessing that the 'houses' are actually train carriages that have been continually stuck in sidings since time immemorial.

I have always hated 'find' with the non-standard options. Basic RegEx is easy to use and fd became a firm favourite from the off.

Upvoted with caveats

I choose clean OSs with minimal additional code and settings added by distro maintainers. Fedora is fairly good. ArchLinux is excellent.

ArchLinux actually makes quite a good first distro if you're willing to learn GNU/Linux. If you grew up with the early non-NT (DOS) Windows then you're more than used to trying to squeeze the most out of Windows by learning how it works. That was a long time ago now.

I moved from Windows to Linux just after the turn of the century because Microsoft were making it more difficult to use your own OS on your own machine.

After Fedora Core 4+ I ended up using ArchLinux for the longest time. It's early adoption of systemd was a factor, as was the rolling nature.

Beautiful.

I've tried the other way already. Not so good.

Lawyer and CEO of OnlyFans Keily Blair, who says her feminism informs how she carries out her job, argues the site empowers women by offering them an 'inclusive, safe, and innovative platform'

Do you have any enemies?

There's a sweet monologue by George Carlin about the ten commandments.

I can't find it quickly right now but he reduces them to three.

No, Carlin wasn't religious but I love that monologue and it fits right in here.

In some places proctology isn't what it was.

Perhaps I've missed a trick, it only searches for communities. I'm using Jerboa, the 'official' app.

There's no way to search for individual posts or comments.

Internally. Without noticing. Or any discomfort.

Privacy.

Ownership. (not quasi ownership like 'buying' a HP inkjet printer)

There is no such thing anymore as a job for life anymore that ended in the 80s. I don't honestly think that's there's a career for life anymore either, that ended in the early years of this century.

Asking someone to choose something to do for 50 years (if they're lucky) at 16 or 18 is folly.

Build yourself a portfolio of skills which you are proficient in and enjoy doing. I would include (1) languages in that and (2) the technique of communication over and above any technical skills you possess.

I say languages because a second language awakens a different mode of thought, maybe not too much if the languages are closely related.

I'm Gen X and was probably never conventionally employable. Company Roles I've had seemed to seek me rather than me them. I wish I had been much more aggressive about a second language much earlier on.

It's not the language itself. It seems to assist in fluidity of communication. I'm not sure that I can explain what I mean by that: the structure of French sentences differs wildly from English sentences sometimes, but about 30% of English words are French in origin. It seems to encourage me to thing about how I am conveying my idea in words without me being cognisance of that happening.
