Yugoslavia. Mainly because it’s not there anymore. Would love to go to Croatia again for the first time though.

Funny, I was going to say the referee - a great refereeing performance will rarely be noticeable.

I’d love to see more of the classic BBC 80s adaptation - same cast, same production style, just continuing on through the books (with, as you say, the usual changes and mutations as most of Adams’ work). Obviously impossible, but I like to dream.

Some elements of this sound like the plot of Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, starring Raul Julia, and made famous by its appearance on Mystery Science Theatre 3000: https://youtu.be/2hBEh1JJ1E0

Thanks! Even all that sounds hideously complicated or danger-strewn, but I’ll try and have a look.

One thing I think I’d like to try is getting a dedicated external hard drive or SSD and running Linux entirely from that, so as not to mess with any of the main drives I already have. Or, better, get a separate machine altogether and keep an air gap between Windows and Linux, at least until I understand it a bit!

Main reasons are:

• Work - I use my PC every day, all day, for work, so making OS level changes is something I’m not keen to do for fear of breaking something. I had meant to get a cheap laptop to practice Linux on, but time/money got in the way of that.
• Lack of knowledge - I’m far from a novice with computers, and am frequently the person people turn to for help, but I’ve never really used anything but Windows (Mac for a year, once, but only intermittently) and I know nothing about drive partitioning, etc.
• Software - I use Adobe products frequently, especially Photoshop and Première and while I know people say that there are alternatives, I don’t feel like I have the energy to start learning again with new programs.
• Time - I just don’t have the time to spend on all of the above.

All that said, I’m going to have to do something about it! Ugh.

I saw the end of Windows 10 coming up and decided to install linux in a dual boot

This is something I need to learn how to do - I’ve no idea how dual booting works, but I could do with learning. Did you have any good resources to help you, or did you already know how to do it?

I think any comedian who takes part loses all rights to ever complain about freedom of speech, or cancel culture, or whatever. Since they likely won’t have been kidnapped and murdered by bone saw.

Flushlights.

Yes, toilet illuminators, what of it?

Nothing wrong with red hair. Mine’s brown now, but was red when I was a kid, and I got bullied for it all the time. Fuck that noise, and fuck the way it’s just accepted as being socially ok to mock people for their hair colour.

Yes.

Daaaaaaammmmnnnn. That’s a lot of vinyl. Lovely 😍

While I do use steaming services for tv/movies and music, I’ve also got reasonably large collections of DVDs/BluRays, hard copy video games, books (never liked ebooks or even audio books) and most of all, vinyl records (over 1000 in my collection and ever -growing!)

Happy with having a mix of media, and increasingly keen to make sure I own things rather than only having them available through a stream, convenient though that is.

For me, they are like saying “bread” and “braid” 😁

It’s a good question. I always wonder the same thing about the US vs UK versions of Craig and Graham.

US - “kregg”, “gram”

UK - “krayg”, “gray-um”

Ooh, I didn’t know about that, thanks for the heads up! So much better! 😁

Thanks, good to know it hasn’t caused issues for many people, at least. Never tried Grapheme maybe it’s time to give it a shot 😁

Yeah, I mean it’s not that things are outlandishly big, but the text on, for example, the BBC News app, or Sync for Lemmy are both now noticeably smaller than before and the battery, wifi and mobile data icons are noticeably larger (plus larger than the app icons at the other end of the notification bar).

Adjusting scaling to sort one issue tends to exacerbate the other.

I’ll just need to play around with it until I find a compromise. Such a pain! 😁

Pixel 6 Pro here. Glad it’s not had a widespread effect. Very annoying, but I’ll just have to adjust individual app settings to try and find a happy compromise.

I use Total too - I wouldn’t say it’s quite 1:1 as it’s not as intuitive, but in terms of customisability, it’s amazing.
