They tried making us come in one day a month so me and the other developers just wouldn’t work when we were in the office while we were “planning”. Then it became “we need the day before to plan what we’re going to talk about tomorrow” and “we take the day after an office visit to go over what we talked about”. So 3 days out of the month where nothing got done and it made enough of a difference the office days lasted maybe 3 or 4 months before they fizzled out

A few years ago when I went to actually use the GPU in my laptop I realized I never installed the drivers. I think it was a 3050 or something pretty low end.

It took maybe 20 minutes, most of that time was waiting for things to install. I’ve heard the horror stories so I wasn’t excepting it to work and was ready to give up at the first sign on resistance but there really wasn’t any. That was on Fedora, a bit later I switched to Debian and I remember running into an issue getting it to work but it was small enough that I don’t remember what the issue was.

I used this service breifly a while ago. Not enough to say whether it’s good or not, but I remember it working just fine.

“To better assist you please describe the nature of your emergency… Let’s try this again. To better assist…”

Nah nothing like that. I used to be an awful person, I’m still just trying to be better.

Although even at my worst I don’t think I would ever assault a child.

I had a kid who lives a block over egg my house a few years ago on Halloween. A few weeks later I saw him riding his bike and stopped him and just asked him not to do it again because it was a pain to clean properly. He apologized, thanked me for not yelling at him and then laughed when he saw my house that hasn’t been power washed in years with just a few clean spots where his eggs hit.

Now he comes over every week and plays soccer with me and my toddler and helps us with yard work in the summer.

A little bit of human decency and talking to a kid like they’re a person can go along way. Kids aren’t stupid, they just don’t know a lot of things.

I was gonna say I thought this had been the case forever. I don’t use this feature but I recall seeing it on pretty much every custom ROM I’ve used over the last few years.

I find that I’m pretty much useless after 4 hours. I usually do a 4 hour stretch during the day and then hop back on for another 2 hours when the kids are down and that seems to be the most productive for me.

What benifit does Mint have over Debian for anything graphical?
