@volpeon spyware removal programs used to be a perfectly normal thing to install

but these days, it'd probably break windows to run them

@SuperMoosie @fesshole the average Nextdoor post - I saw people on my street, Existing.

@Mycroft nothing against OpenBSD & NetBSD, I've even run one before, but I have a perfectly working Linux system & thought I was way past my "exploring free operating systems" era

@yassie_j insulation works both ways, but windows are a giant hole of focusing the sun's entire output into heat

so problem I get is the house stays comfortable inside so long as it can cool down enough overnight, but a week-long heatwave is enough to keep the temperature raising every day. even doing passive things like closing the curtains & opening windows at the right time

@Mycroft please, I don't want to install BSD & hope enough of my normal programs are up to date on it

@yassie_j yeah, been looking round recently & guess that explains the prevalence of internal window shutters in shops & everywhere

@ko their Kanken bacg fits my laptop & they do have dimensions on the website, so you can check how well they'll fit

@ko I've had a Fjallraven for about a decade, monthly use, they're about 100 euros now

@alex free food, lazing in the sun

only have to forget "I'm future ham"

@anarchiv hadn't thought about the origin, but they're something every kid's encouraged to grow at some point

maybe because they're so big, obvious & fast growing

@levork generated code could never have comments of "I'm leaving this function here, nothing uses it any more but the customer will want this functionality back in a few weeks, so don't delete it"

@belehaa it's enough to drive anyone to marker pens, roll of acetate & the overhead projector

"no slides, I'm annotating live, keep up"

@qurlyjoe there's a time & a place for the fancy coffee

drinking instant on the regular 'cos it's quick & easy, while keeping some nice beans in as a treat

@floppyplopper reminds me of

"thinking about the time I went to a planetarium & somebody booed when they showed earth"
