Am liking Vivaldi, but along with WereCat, I have no use for it's email section.

Am concerned that when Google does it's thing, Vivaldi will break. Is there any danger of that happening?

That's good to hear. I may stick with it then and see.

On mobile and it auto corrects.

I'm so sorry that I spoiled your day because of my slack approach to social media. I'll give myself one hundred lashes with a herring.

Goodbye!

A supermarket trip may soon look different, thanks to electronic shelf labels (www.npr.org)

Grocery store prices are changing faster than ever before — literally. This month, Walmart became the latest retailer to announce it’s replacing the price stickers in its aisles with electronic shelf labels. The new labels allow employees to change prices as often as every ten seconds....

You mean an anal ist?

what's your current linux distro?

wanting to hop into the world of linux on a dual boot method (one of my favorite games unfortunately cannot be run on linux at all, and it’s a gacha. I don’t want to gamble with my account being banned, so I’m keeping windows for it specifically.) this’ll be my second go at it, I used Pop!_OS briefly but had some issues...

Endeavour and KDE.
Like the look of it. Easy to update, no bloatware or games reinstalled.
If I do swap again it'd probably be back to Mint. I had some issues a while ago and moved to MX. That worked well but there was so much guff. Tried Endeavour about a year ago and have been here ever since.

If you'd only have provided a knife, you could have had that Michelin star you strive for.

Blimus! I was (sort of) joking ;-)

No to me.

I was recommended Niagara launcher on here a few months back. After 2 days I paid for a year. Just excellent. Clean and snappy. Take a bit of getting used to but that was well worth the time.

Can't say I noticed that. But yes it is ;-)

Thanks for the intro to Feeder. It's changed how I read news. No more tabs and bookmarks 😉

For a few quid you can pick up a slow cooker in a charity shop - make sure the bowl is not chipped and give it a thorough clean.

Dead cheap to run.

Bugger. That's unfortunate.

Because the name begins with GIMP.

FatLegTed,
@FatLegTed@piefed.social avatar

I know what GIMP stands for. I've been using it since it came out. If you're going to be pedantic at least spell it correctly and not GIMO.

I have no idea what Glimpse is.

Goodbye

Just found it and managed to load it into Niagara launcher.

Excellent looking, but it's only been running for 5 mins so I can't really judge it ;-)

I wonder if they're going to buy 30,000 new PCs or just download and install a distro.

FatLegTed,
@FatLegTed@piefed.social avatar

I'll try and track some down - thanks

FatLegTed,
@FatLegTed@piefed.social avatar

And it'll strengthen your arms!

But does it sweat though ;-)
