    People that support him don't care about evidence. It's a cult following.

    I don't think they ever said they knew they were the only one to know the admin passwords. Looks like they've heard it from former colleagues after they left: > I heard from former…

    The course I did back in 2015 had a really good focus on the fundamentals; it helped immensely. At some point I also did DAB although I didn't follow it all the way to the end, but…

    I loved to draw as a kid and in 2015 I tried to really learn so I bought a cheap course in one of these learning platforms (I think it was udemy). I haven't really kept drawing and…

    I must be the luckiest person alive to use Linux because I keep reading people writing about issues with Linux, issues with Fedora, and meanwhile I have been using Fedora since ver…

    I thought I was the only one like that, except my dominant leg for kicking is the right one, and I eat with fork on right hand, knife on left; and I use scissors with my right hand…

    I don’t drink soda anymore, but when I did, it was mostly Coca-Cola. After moving to the US, I decided to try Dr. Pepper. Couldn’t get past the first sip, because this thing tastes…

    Conceptually yes (and Krita might be more feature rich than Procreate), but Procreate is an iPad only app and Krita is not available on that platform, unfortunately.

    D&D artwork was something else back then. I remember spending hours and hours just looking at it. For anybody interested, there is a documentary about the history of the art in D&D…

    I have an Asus ROG Zephyrus with an AMD CPU and a dedicated Nvidia RTX 3060. It also has integrated Radeon graphics. When using the Nvidia, the system is quite unstable (I get some…

    Contacting a local organization is mostly finding their website to figure out how they train and approve ATCs. Years ago, the region I was part of had a progression training where …

    I know quite a significant number of people that said the same thing. But it's not that they can't watch movies in itself: they can't _sit_ through an entire movie so what they do …

    I keep seeing these kind of comments and wonder why that might be. I personally run Firefox on 2 different laptops running Windows 11, one of the laptops is dual boot and I also ru…

    When I ask for the no contact option, normally the drivers will ring the bell after they left the food at my door. I know the food arrived and I don't have to meet the driver. I ha…

    I learned to play guitar on a very crappy guitar. It was from a brand known for being cheap and poor quality, and I've bought it second hand. Still, I learned to play on it. Chords…

    I'd say that maybe the fact I didn't have to think about it is a good sign. To me it means that the desktop is out of my way. I can customize it for my liking and I don't need to k…

    The usability on GNOME is the best of all Desktops I have ever used. It's my daily driver and it feels so natural to use. To each their own, I guess.

    Not mentioned in the article but I think what triggered BK to pull the license was Andrew Tridgell (SAMBA and rsync) reverse engineering BK's protocol to implement a third-party cl…

    In 2011 I moved to Fedora (v16 at the time) and have been using it since then. This year I stopped using GNOME and moved to KDE, seeing if I'll make the switch permanent.

    > 3 line synopsis if it's worth trying. That was a good thing. Now Netflix--at least for me--doesn't even give me that for most series/movies; it only says crap like "This movie wa…
