Unsurprisingly, similar for us in Afrikaans.

As much as I can believe he would totally do this, he would not admit to this.

But it comes from a satire site.

Update: So someone else mentioned this, and looks like changes are coming but the satire part was why Elon was doing it.

Just feet?

His drawings are horrible, IMO, in general, the example I keep seeing is how badly he drew Captain America and his weirdly shaped chest.

No Fedora?

I thought it was popular.

I tried Manjaro a few times and it made my PC unusable every time. All sorts of little issues and even though I disabled any sleep features my screens would not wake up after I had been away for about an hour. Nothing else responded either like my PC had frozen.

Nobara is my distro of choice these days.

In July it's BEES and heat for me in the south of England.

September is nice, not too hot and not too cold most of the time.

The record temperature I reached in my old flat was 37.5 Celsius. Previously it was about 35.

In my current flat I hit about 33 over the summer indoors.

I should have added this was back in 2010 or so, I don't think it was as common to be able to open PDFs in browsers without an addon.

I remember sometime after 2014 I was just able to open PDFs without any additional software.

I used to work IT at a school and reports were emailed to parents as PDFs.

We got a complaint from a few parents saying things like, why are the reports PDF? Not everyone has Acrobat Reader, you should be sending these out as Microsoft Word files.

I then had to tell them that unlike Microsoft Word, Acrobat Reader is free to download and install. Anyone can get Acrobat reader or another PDF viewer, but not everyone just has Word on their device nor are they willing to buy it.

I didn't mention the part about a Word file is easy to just edit.

I'm also going to assume that some of them are using a work laptop where they have Word installed and no admin rights to install a PDF viewer and too lazy to ask IT.

Oh yeah, I didn't think about that.

I'm running uBlock Origin as well and I have a Pi-Hole running on my network.

Guessing they chose to advertise it and made it part of the article.

I love how there is an advert and Amazon link for these exact earbuds in the article.

$20 off, worth the potential hearing loss?

Whenever I have walked down there it's mostly buses and taxis with a few cars peppered in.

Been ages since I've walked along there but I remember far more people than cars and at times the street is completely empty.

I put on my robe and wizard hat.
