I’ve got a Clevo laptop that covers most of your list. Mine’s a bit older, a 7th gen i5, but was very cheap, and easy to upgrade. If the newer models are built the same way, it’s what I’m going to go for when I eventually upgrade 👍

Uncle Benned, or Obi Wan Kenobi Benned? 🤔

Let’s just say that his forehead was smooth when they started

I know a few older people who have smartphones, and while they can use things like Twitter or Facebook on the phone, if you told them that you were installing an app, they wouldn’t know what you meant.

They’re the type of people who were never interested in computers, and used them as appliances, possibly never needing to install things themselves. As they moved to phones, they either get their kids or the shop to set them up.

They understand using Twitter on the phone, but don’t really understand the concept of how it works.

I don’t know, you can get Photoshop and Lightroom for £10 a month, which is very cheap when you compare it to a night out or a takeaway, and at the moment, they’re better than the equivalents.

I do need to have another look at DaVinci Resolve though. I’ve heard loads of good things about it, but it was overkill for what I needed when I last tried it :)

The Zerg lady looks like someone who was fused with a spider in a transporter accident. She’d be split into her base creatures before Janeway’s coffee got cold

I don’t know, I find that my hyperfocus doesn’t kick in until I start doing something

Yeah, I’ve got my fingers crossed for tomorrow night. Good luck 🙂

Just remember that you might not see anything with the naked eye, but a camera will pick up the colour. Last time, I was able to get out, and once my eyes were used to the dark, I could see faint grey lines and waves in the sky :)

Captain: ‘Lieutenant! Why hasn’t the saucer separation sequence begun?’

Boimler: ‘Sorry sir, I can’t find the separation playlist’

This is the real reason why 4chan users are not seen in public

Thanks for replying :)

I managed to get it working with the answers from @[email protected] and this link:

https://www.zdnet.com/article/how-to-permanently-mount-a-drive-in-linux-and-why-you-should/

I must have been testing it when you answered :)

I’ve got them up and running, and working for both users, thank you :)

That’s brilliant, thank you :)

Usually /mnt/whatever for static mounts and /media/whatever for removable mounts (those appear as drives in file managers, whereas /mnt doesn’t).

Just to check, if I mount the drives under /media, will that still treat them as removable, or will they appear as permanent drives?

Ext4 everywhere.

Linux is obviously very good, but you are right, we give Linux a pass sometimes because we ‘build’ it. We tend to overlook its flaws because we want it to be better than the competition.

I’ve recently had an upgrade fail to the point of a reinstall, a folder that I can’t share between two users on the same laptop, and shutdown buttons on two computers that disappeared. If those problems happened on Windows, I’d be really annoyed, but because they happened on Linux, I just fixed them and carried on.

Yeah, it’s a bit odd, this image is showing for me, but others that I’ve tried to embed in the same way haven’t shown up in the past.

I’ll report it to them 👍

I’m on the same Voyager version, but tapping the picture just gives me the picture with no text.

I took a screenshot, but I can’t see a way to embed it - never mind, closing my keyboard gave me the image, attachment, and formatting options back. The screenshot should be here:

Nope. Tapping the picture just opens it with no text here. Voyager on Android.

mb additionally putting it in the post body would be a good idea for future posts?

I’ve seen that a few times on other posts. If there’s text in the body already, the alt text has been separated, but I don’t think there’s a standard yet
