Maybe you could try the system in live mode to get a feel. You can simply make an install USB stick and boot from that and just select the live install. This will start the system directly form the USB stick without installing anything and then you can just play around with it and get a feel. Just be aware that all changes are temporary and are not saved to the stick. Most major distributions have such a functionality.

At this day and age it works pretty much as you expect it to work. I’d recommend something like ubuntu (or kubuntu if you want it to look and feel more like windows). Something that is stable and not on the bleeding edge and mainstream so you can easily Google for help if you need it. Apart from that I think you can use a gui for pretty much anything you might need.

Little side note: the new long term support version of Ubuntu will be released this month. I’d wait for that so you have a pretty up to date version. If you need help or advice you can DM me if you like.

I am sure she would. I just wish she could tell me. But that’s the wish I can’t have. Not with all the money in the world.

Thank you for your kind words. I am not alone in this but some responsibilities are just my own. That is stressful and frustrating. I know it will get better but right now it’s not good at all. It’s all wrong.

Thank you for your kind offer for support. Unfortunately I don’t know what I need at this time. I am glad though that I am not in short supply of hugs and support. I am only struggling to find out how to utilize the help.

Thank you. I don’t personally believe in an afterlife but I will always keep her alive in my memories. And I know it will get better but unfortunately it will take time. But that is what you get for loving someone.

Thank you for sharing this. I know it will get better but right now it is a horrible, no good situation. I have family that helps me but still it get overwhelming at times.

My mom died last week, way too young, of cancer. Her cancer had been on and off for years but last Christmas it started again. She got worse and 3 weeks ago she got the news that there is no more treatment. About a week, maybe less she got so confused that we couldn’t talk anymore and a week later she died.

Now instead of mourning I have to manage her estate, organize the funeral and coordinate family. All while I constantly want to ask my mom for advice.

I think you misread. Lastweakness was talking about Vaultwarden which is a 100% FOSS reimplementation of bitwarden that you self host.

Depends on where you are. I know a few intersections where people don’t care at all.

Same in Germany. Within 8 meters before and 5 meters after an intersection parking is not allowed. Though I wish it was enforced better.

I feel you. When trying to paint I want to make an exact copy of reality because I can’t imagine what is the essential thing to make something recognizable as it. I can’t imagine it well enough in my head.

I think the founder didn’t like the idea of talking about each other instead of with each other. After enough people said they really wanted it they wanted to give people at least control. And don’t necessarily am thinking that was the right decision but it came from a good place.

Oh it’s not annoying me. I just don’t want to learn see or speak the language. Since I moved a little further from the French border that is much easier.

Yes but a lot is also language change. Knight for example was just spoken with a K and a fricative at that time and place. The writing just wasn’t adapted to the changes in speech.

Mastodon has quotes now. They chose to make quotes controllable and added a standard for it. That’s why it took so long.

Can you deny it though?

French was my only choice for a second foreign language in school and I hated it. Such a weird language. They need a writing reform. Bordeaux is just comically bad. English could use a writing reform as well.

No I am alright. Scrubs Season 8 was the perfect ending. Bittersweet but fulfilling. It would have been a shame if they added another season after that. /s

First season yes, second season maybe, after that probably not.

Scrubs. But skip the last season. They found a good end and then the execs wanted more money.
