A work in progress
So. Finally got Ubuntu properly set up virtualised on my m4 Mac mini. Loving AnyType as a replacement for Apple notes. Proton email, passwords and Authenticator. Vivaldi is a pretty good browser, cross platform support is excellent so far. Feel like I could make a jump. What’s the best option to sell my mini and iPad Air (and Apple Pencil) and what’s the best laptop to replace with (for running Ubuntu)? #TechGiantExit #ByeApple

Brent SimmonsBefore sending Apple any money this week, remember that Tim Cook attended a private screening of the Melania documentary at the White House later in the same day that Alex Pretti was murdered by this administration. He knew about it and went anyway.

I introduced both my kids to RD in the last few years. They're now 15 and 13, and both of them quote it on a regular basis. It actually got my daughter credit with her physics teacher. And the novel… the novel is genuinely some of the best writing you will ever read. Anyway, as I'm sure GHC on Bluesky is saying: smoke me a kipper, I’ll be back for breakfast.”
Dean Burnett (that brains guy)Not a day goes by when I don't quote #RedDwarf.
"I have brought pleasure to the world because I have such a beautiful ass!"

And so on
But despite so many to choose from, the iconic line from the show that best sums up Rob Grant's legacy is obvious
"And the moral of the story is, "Appreciate what you've got", because basically, I'm fantastic."

Hi everyone, I am starting a new venture as a coach having just completed my Coaching Professional Level 5 (with distinction, no less - yay me!) and I want to create a logo. I would rather not use AI and I want to offer the work to a real person. I don't have a massive budget - I've yet to book my first paying client - but I am happy to discuss something reasonable. Anyone out there interested in a **very** small job? #logo #graphicdesign #notAI
