    I really like App-images. For the most part, they just work, download, run, done. And sometimes you want the flexibility to install something the distro’s pacakage manager doesn’t give you (or doesn’t have the latest version of). It’s a little extra work to put the app in system menus, etc though.

    Package manger still preferred. Having the system deal with updates and dependencies is nice.

    AUR is still good, but I’d take the App Image. Sometimes these work for me, sometimes they don’t. Still have to manually update them, AFAIK.





  • I just built the NES/CRT set. It was about 2600 pieces - not very big compared to a lot of the serious sets I’m sure. But the only real one I’ve done.

    Definitely would do it again! It was very relaxing to take a few minutes out of each day and go through a bag of legos and instructions. I was kinda sad when it finished - the end product is cool, but the fun was really in putting it together and slowly watching it turn into a thing. I mean, I’d enjoy doing it again, but I don’t expect or plan to for any reason.



  • Yep, that’s the right train of thought.

    I used to also dislike them, due to their limitations vs cash. But eventually realized that I liked having the excuse to go out of town to a fancy restaurant, or splurge on games I might otherwise decide I don’t need right now.

    Strictly speaking, cash is better, yes. But gift cards can influence people to do things that might make them happier than typical rational or habitual decisions.

    Letting rage take over is not the right path, never is. Give yourself a little time and space to cool off. (Not to diminish that the situation sucks. It sounds terrible and I’m sorry for that.)

    However, if you’re not happy at work, looking for a new place is the thing to do. Update your resume, and take your time to find a new job. Importantly, don’t quit voluntarily until after you find something else. Don’t get ahead of yourself.



  • Had to get a new one recently too. I’ve had good experiences w/ Brother in the past too, but couldn’t find one that quite fit the bill. Needed color and for it to be able to handle cardstock.

    Ended up getting an Epson, one that’s in the eco tank line. Has been great so far. Works just fine out of the box on Linux (LTS Ubuntu, anyway)
