Didn't spot any of the butcherbird chicks this morning, but I did spy one sitting alone in their tree. I wonder what they thought of the first rain since they hatched

I know most people are aware on how Linux can save old hardware, but here's to the folks that like to complain that GNOME is "bloated" and "runs poorly":

Today I salvaged this old laptop from going to the junk, added an old 4GB DDR3 RAM stick I had, popped the GNOME OS Nightly USB I had just to know what the specs were on this thing, and well... the screen is dying a slow and painful death but damn, this runs really, really well for a 13 year old chip that was already close to e-waste by the time it was produced and a just as old and slow HDD.

I obviously won't keep using it as a desktop due to the screen, but I'm baffled at the optimization work that is going on these days that enables this to be actully smooth and usable on hardware this bad.

NONE OF THOSE 18,500 EMPLOYEES KNOW HOW TO WRITE PLURALIZATION CODE, EH?

I like how LinkedIn is a company with 20 billion in revenue, over 18 thousand employees, owned by the mega-giant Microsoft, and yet they still send me emails like "You appeared in 1 searches this week"

Any idea why an artist would be listed twice in an Android media player?

Some of the ones I've tried don't list it twice (Musicolet, Auxio, VLC) and some of them do (Gramophone, Fossify). It's always the same albums listed in each group, too.

I double-checked the metadata using both the Apple Music app on my MacBook and Picard, And all of the tracks have the same track/album artist without any extraneous characters.

Finally managed to get rear wind when going back home, feel so much nicer specially when yesterday was stormy.

@freecad Thanks!

@martouf @Stormeko Yep, I have that in my notes:

*.autosave cleaner :
Simulation:
find . \( -name ".*autosave.*" -o -name "*~" \) -print0 | xargs -0 du -csh '{}'

Real delete :
find . \( -name ".*autosave.*" -o -name "*~" \) -delete

(note, it also handle the 'autosave' ones, but the syntax is easy to adapt if you don't want this part)

@solarphasing All power to the chemo, then.
