Bluey. It’s a really positive modern show , so not really from my childhood but it beats everything else from my childhood.

There are multiple Scottish accents. You’d have to pick which one! Perhaps the most widely recognised would be Glaswegian.

Yeah, have a look in decathlon. They have waterproof shoes which look like trainers. I’ve got myself some, I can go through puddles with them and stay dry.

Me. But not just me. When my children grow older, they too will now have a Linux OS on their computers not Microsoft. Microsoft has lost more than just me!

I too am interested in an automated system taking data from things like smart rings/watches, ideally with home assistant integration. Do you mean like basic note taking? something like Joplin could be used for that. I use it extensively. It has a to do checkbox function, which you could use as a reminder, though it doesn’t pop up. You’d have to look at it. I think for reminders etc. you’d perhaps be looking at calendar software, perhaps next cloud, which also includes notes.

I’ve recently switched my music over to jellyfin, using various tools to get music from my Spotify playlists and curating them with beets. More recently than that, Immich went stable so I’ve got it running now in tandem with photoprism. I’d probably switch all the way from photoprism if Immich could read duplicates from the external library when uploaded by a user from an Android & if you could have some sort of android retention policy, like if a photo is older than 6 months and it exists on the server it can be deleted from the android.

You’ll want to check out “Dungeons”. I recently played Dungeons 3 and it is basically an improved dungeon keeper except you can go into the overworld too.

Do you have a source for these two? I’m not saying you’re wrong - I would like to share the stories! I agree that US big tech companies cannot be trusted.

Yes, I re-read my post and replied. :) Idk if you can edit a post, and even if it’s possible the post stands as it is. I’m short, I appreciate the comedy.

Maybe you’re correct in what you say about differing goals. Perhaps it would have been better to write that it was a sub par experience at the time as it didn’t meet my needs or expectations. I think if it is adopted in schools as a main desktop OS or within government departments then perhaps that will give other companies more of an incentive to have Linux support by default, just like in your example of Valve and gaming.

Haha. Linux has had no effect on my height. So far…
