Poor NZ though

As someone who has paid out the arse for flights from Wellington to Melbourne to attend an (also expensive) concert, I appreciate the empathy.

The travel isn't the end of the world (it's only a 3 hour and change flight), but of course the prices go way, way up around the dates of major events.

Yeah, it's joined Facebook and Twitter on that "do not click" list for me.

You'd think that quitting cold turkey would have been hard, but it somehow just hasn't been.

Sony pioneered that one, I reckon over the lifespan of a phone - especially since people tend to keep phones longer these days - it does make a difference. I'm glad other manufacturers have done the same (I believe Apple has something similar, and maybe one other Android OEM).

My Xperia 1ii (mid 2020) still reports around 83% of its original battery capacity, and it's been plugged in overnight more or less every day of its life.

Same probably goes for this one I found at my local supermarket: https://i.imgur.com/aMDLCM2.jpg

I maintain that no reasonable person should ever call a product with sour cream in it "guacamole", but I presume that's the ingredient they're trying to identify is definitely not included.

I know of multiple people who've backed into poles that went right down the middle between two of them while they were too busy watching the screen.

A very useful and welcome addition, but not something to be wholly relied on as a replacement for paying attention.

Usually separate labelling where I'm from.

You can advertise your product as "gluten free" if it doesn't contain any ingredients containing gluten, but will have a separate disclaimer which looks something like "processed in a factory also handling nuts, gluten, and dairy products" as applicable.

I'm not sure if this is mandatory or voluntary labelling here, but in my opinion it satisfies the need for truly allergic people to choose products not even made on the same premises as their allergens, while avoiding perverse labelling such as the parent poster's "gluten free beans".

You monster! It's clearly "gif".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

do they even offer any?

On non-LTS releases? Almost certainly not.

You're 100% on the money, if a broken non-LTS release - which you can still upgrade to from an earlier release with do-release-upgrade, or install from the server ISO then apt install the UI - something has already gone horribly wrong, and a couple of days wait for a re-released ISO is by far the least of your problems.

Not OP, but genuine answer: because I loathe being forced into their way of doing things. Every little thing on the Mac seems engineered with an "our way or the highway" mentality, that leaves no room for other (frequently, better) ways of achieving anything.

Adding to that, window/task management is an absolute nightmare (things that have worked certain ways basically since System 6 on monochrome Mac Classic machines, and haven't improved), and despite all claims to the contrary, its BSD-based underpinnings are just different enough to Linux's GNU toolset to make supposed compatibility (or the purported "develop on Mac, deploy on Linux" workflow) a gross misadventure.

I just find the experience frustrating, unpleasant, and always walk away from a Mac feeling irritated.

(For context: > 20 year exclusively Linux user. While it's definitely not always been a smooth ride, I seldom feel like I'm fighting against the computer to get it to do what I want, which is distinctly not my experience with Apple products)

I thought it might be sensible on Linux to use MS Edge for Teams (the PWA version).
Nope, it's just as shit in Microsoft's own browser. There is apparently no saving it.
