MS DOS v4.somthing. (1995)

Slackware that came on three 5.25" floppies. (1997)

First hard drive Linux: Debian.

Eventually red hat for several years, then back to Debian based (mint etc) around 2005. Been using Sid (Debian "unstable") for a long time.

Was riding my bicycle on a fence divided road in the center looking to turn, when a car drove past me and scared me into flinching towards the divider. The handlebar stuck in the divider and came to an immediate rest. My momentum took me over the handlebars and onto my face. Musta looked pretty goofy.

Haha funny name, but let's see how much traction it will get.

It was me. I go to the planetarium to escape this planet. I have enough of it the rest of my life.

So show me something else. Or I'll boo.

Shit like this made me dump Mint more than a decade ago. I've been very happy with Debian (Sid).

The big issue is that by adding more and more features, a browser has become an operating system and so complex that you can't hope to make a new one from scratch.

The last "new" browser engine (that wasn't built by a corporation) was KHTML which was ~~stolen~~ harvested first by Apple for Webkit and subsequently by Google for Blink. KHTML then rotted without support.

The most recent attempt was to build Servo in Rust. Mozilla "ran out of money" (they depend on Google for their existence), and it's already rotting.

The point I was trying to make is you can choose the mood (or the mindset) with which to face your current circumstances.

Either what you face is a situation or a problem. By definition a problem has a solution and a situation does not. If it's a problem (there is a solution) you work on the solution. If it is a situation (there is no solution) you can't change it, so just accept it and move on.

I find that I get joy everyday from the little things - tasty food, good company and nature. I don't let the big things dictate my mood.

 

Most of the others do, so it must be something small.
