Thank you. I'm far too lazy to do that myself these days.

Who is this guy? I've seen him in a few different memes.

My non-tech literate aunt has been running her Ebay business from a laptop running Fedora with unattended upgrades for 3 years now. She manages her expenses in Libreoffice calc and accesses everything else through Chrome and prints labels on an old USB HP printer. I don't think she's even noticed I switched her over from Windows 10 when her machine was getting slow.

My Dad's laptop is also on Fedora (though he mainly just uses an Android tablet these days) and I intend to install it on my Grandma's PC when Windows 10 stops being supported. So for the people who'd be happy with something like a Chromebook, which is a good chunk of older folks, it's perfect and I can easily provide support.

That being said if I had to deal with helping kids who wanted to game and use Bluetooth bits and pieces surrounded by RGB crap then yea outside of a few well supported options it could be a nightmare depending on what they've got.

Scientists are freaking out about ocean!

The thought of home internet with a limit gives me cold sweats

No, but it's only been a couple of months.

Plus I'm single right now, if you catch my drift.

I smoked for about 10 years and replaced that with vaping. Then I replaced vaping with chewing gum in January.

I chew 2 pieces of Extra 6-7 times a day and Blockheads multivitamin gum twice a day.

I also carry strips of foil I can spit into if I'm at my desk or not near a bin.

Same here. I have no idea what the issue is.

Keep him in a sound-proof room so he can't ask for forgiveness.

The pharmacist at my local Tesco once told me I was buying paramol too often. It had been at least a year since I last bought it.

This told me that:

A. They're using facial recognition to track purchases

B. There's either not enough info provided by it or enough training on it's use

Do you folks in Burgerland still have those two prongs that screw into the back of your TV? We've always used round coax here in the UK.
