That’s why you should go work at big corporate enterprises. Then you have both job security as well as the ability to spend as much time as necessary on getting things right. And you might even learn to say no to middle management.

Oh yeah, fear of fire is a big one for me too.
When I still lived in Amsterdam, I experienced an apartment fire. I was living on the top floor of an apartment building, right underneath the roof. At some point, roof workers were burning the roof with tar, which I think is an accepted technique for making the roofs water proof. But one day they went for their lunch break, while leaving the torch ignited. What happened is that the roof caught fire, crept towards the gas canister attached to the torch, which then exploded with a bang loud enough to put me on local television because the canister happened to have exploded directly above my bed.
Thank God I was working at the office that day, because from the place where my bed was, you could look up straight to heaven after that explosion.
You wouldn’t want to know how many times I lay awake asking myself what-if questions after that. Can’t recall the nights.
That’s entirely a choice. I am connected to a local vegetable farm run by two farmers who grow their produce organically. They run a little circular business as they’re also connected to an educational/kid-friendly animal farm, they sponsor a public fruit path through their own work, and then they partner with local shops as well.
Me and my son go there almost every week to pick fresh veggies, and we just pay directly to the farmers. But yeah, the payment is digital…
It may be a kind of Linux PC, but it’s not just a Linux PC. (Also not a fan of the American language…)
Ah yes, because we should condemn people over a statistic, even when the things they do may actually warrant some praise.
I don’t know if you already use Linux or not, but if you do you have a valid excuse for why you can’t help them with their impulse buy from HP. So if they want your help, they can take your suggestions for where to get a Linux computer, such as System76, Framework, and I think even some Dell models come with it preinstalled. There’s probably some I forgot, but the point is, those selling Linux machines are in a growth market that only seems to be accelerating. It should be only a matter of time before more players want a piece of that.
Get a room 😂
Yeah, familiar with that experience 😅 Could be I end up disliking Sailfish for that exact reason, but if there’s a handful of good native apps that might mitigate quite a lot. Could also be I end up using it as a second phone, one with fewer distractions on it…
Presumably, it’s just that I can’t stand the Android UX personally, which is the main reason I’m on iOS. But if a good, open alternative comes along I’m willing to try…
True, but aren’t there decent Android emulation layers for Linux available nowadays? Not sure how well-integrated into SailfishOS that is, but giving it a shot…
Happy Nextcloud user here. It has its ups and downs, but overall I vastly prefer it over Google Docs.
