I find it a bit strange to call a person who voted for Trump a “never-trumper”

I know that people can change their mind, and I do applaud her for at least only voting for him once, but a “never-trumper” ???

Reminds me of a gig I had in a studio where the lead singer was a real jerk to everyone in the studio and to his band-mates, he kept berating everyone in the band, telling them to play better, and when it was his turn to record vocals, I pitch shifted his monitor a half note :-) Watching him squirm in the vocal-booth trying to hit a note was priceless.

I think these numbers have made us numb…

Not to sound harsh, but no, things like the Mariupol theatre airstrike made us numb to the pain of those who still support the invasion.

Or… (novel idea I know) you could pay your workers so they wont have to rely on handouts

That’s an insane amount of drones, and an awesome job by the Ukrainian air defenses

I have an old Huawei P7, and when it breaks, I will not buy a Chinese phone again, and it’s not because of price or quality.

I don’t like how China is helping Russia invade Ukraine, and for that alone, I won’t support a Chinese company, I used to buy a lot of components in china, now I get them local or from another EU country.

Still having a hard time trusting Muse Group

It’s still around and kicking unresponsive windows.

I know, but I haven’t used it since I switched to Debian ;-)

Xkill… Now that’s a name I havent heard in a long time :-)

I was still using XP when Ubuntu 5.10 was released, and when I saw my audio worked out of the box, I switched :-) I had been using Mandrake Linux (since 1999) but only for servers and other work related stuff.

Min telefon er heldigvis for gammel til den slags nymodens pjat :-)

Heroiam slava!

A plane a day keeps the Russians away

130Kg ?

I love my Pinephone, not enough to use it as my main phone thou.

It’s running Mobian, mostly because everything else I have is running Debian in some form, but it looks like the largest project is PostmarketOS.

Not sure if it qualify as distrohopping, but for a long time I tried to test every major Linux distro release, and they all had problems with sound, but when Ubuntu 5 came out everything worked out of the box, so I switched my desktop to Linux. A couple of years later, Ubuntu began some introducing some (IMO) questionable things, so I tested the main distros again and landed on Debian, most of all because I knew the system relatively well from Ubuntu.

The first desktop distro I tried was Mandrake (back in 1998), but since I use my desktop for making music, it was just too much work every time I wanted to record something back then.

As for servers, I have always just used what the customer wanted or had, and for most parts it was Red hat.
