    That is really interesting, in that it is the opposite of my childhood understanding. I started with CP/M and DOS, and the first time I came to a Linux machine, I just couldn't und…

    I once worked in a lab where all computers had its own electrical stabilizer, but they were so poor that probably they did more harm than good. When someone turned on a stabilizer,…

    It’s totally a systemic problem, that’s it. Same thing with me. I love teaching, I just can’t stand the faculty anymore.

    Yes, and it is not bad, but nowhere as smooth as the macOS app.

    I love Numbers and haven’t been able to find an easy and convenient replacement for it since I left macOS :( It’s blended spreadsheeting with presentation in a free infinite canvas…

    I do the same with my parents in law, and it’s been like 8 years without call for maintenance, if not for the very rare Ubuntu upgrade.
