Re: Doppelgängers

A mate of mine once sent me a pic of someone taken in an international airport... even 'I' thought it was me, especially as intently looking at what appeared to be my then current phone (Nokia 7650), same haircut, glasses, and wearing similar attire...

Did I or did I not ask you to double-check that the socket was on? Now I've driven 15 miles, what have we found?

Winding twisting roads of nowhere/knownothing but buy tech anyway..

I casually offered assistance to my next-door neighbour of some 18yrs... although known her a lot longer as ran around same streets as junior-school kids [always was a bit..erm.. o_O]

"Any problem with your computer.. let me know.."

I was abruptly informed...

"I don't use computer anymore.. I got a laptop"

I wish I was making this up for comedic effect.

MX-Linux worth a look.... and I really am a Linux noob.

Install is not as simple as others which simply ask 'Install alongside Windows'... so use something like Partition Wizard (free) to create partition first, presuming yer going for dual-boot.

After that, it's all good.... whack Vivaldi and LibreOffice on it and yer good to go!

If you have a spare HDD to install to, all the better while you suss it out.... use Windows to download and burn to a dvd (I've yet to make a bootable USB that doesn't end up fekd... DVD's work just fine for me!).. unplug all other HDD's and install... have a fiddle with it... then start questioning loyalty to Windows...

I haven't yet left Windows7.. (8 & 10.. pfft!).. but the day is coming

Are you sure you've got a floppy disk stuck in the drive? Or is it 100 lodged in the chassis?

Re: Libre Office

Speaking it is not stubborn... FORCING it upon those who have no use nor care for a minority language that sounds like the wrong-end-of-a-blow job is left-wing minority fascism.

It makes road-signage a serious problem for a start... no fucker wants to play scrabble at 70mph.

They speak Gaelic in parts of Scotland.. but the authorities don't insist on it... there's a fucking huge difference. They moved on with the rest of the UK rather than stuck in the mindset of being 'special'.. there's nothing unique about Wales or anywhere else.. the only thing that is 'special' about Wales is the low mean IQ..

I am born, bred, and unfortunately residing in this dysfunctional country.
