A chihuahua is not a pinnacle of anything.

The best is when you pick them up and move their bodies around but their little heads stay in the same spot

7 years ago. It's been a very welcome change here.

Shower thoughts are wasting water.

My city is in the middle of the worst drought in recorded history. My showers are typically under 2 minutes and I have to shower with a bucket to catch otherwise wasted water to use to flush the toilet. I also shut the water down when I am wet enough so I can scrub myself without having unneeded water flowing then start it...

My water comes from a hole in the backyard and it's free.

DannyBoy ,

It would cost around $0.0025 to pump enough water for a shower. It's not free but it's a negligible cost.

DannyBoy ,

Hopefully some of my pee from the septic tank makes it over to my well then.

DannyBoy ,

Would Chromebooks not fit that description?

DannyBoy ,

That's really neat. I didn't know anybody was still working on a desktop mode for Android and I definitely didn't know about running Windows applications.

DannyBoy ,

That's a lot of buzzwords to say they have a faster GPU this year.

DannyBoy ,

No, we just play the free multiplayer.

Half Life 2 came out three years after the first Halo though.

Funnily enough the bottom of the barrel budget phones usually have an FM tuner. My 2021 Motorola has one.

What would it look like? I'd guess Amazon ads in the search bar, proprietary package managers overriding the old open package manager, and popup ads for distribution Pro?

Wait...

DannyBoy ,

That's me as well, they did a lot to get newcomers in. It's just easy to poke fun at them these days.

DannyBoy ,

Ubuntu has had all three of those things. Amazon ads in the search bar was awhile back. Not sure but I assume they still hijack installing Firefox using apt and instead install it using snap. And Ubuntu Pro popups are a new thing.

DannyBoy ,

Not so much broken as change of focus. Their focus now is money, and it's hard to turn down hundreds of millions of dollars.

DannyBoy ,

Seems like it's cheap to start the bidding at $2500 but the cheapest thing is probably the initial purchase price after moving it, buying the needed cabling, and electricity bills.
