Endeavour is not immutable. It’s Arch with a graphical installer and some convenient tools in the welcome app.

The desire to leave a legacy is really a desire for immortality-lite. I think that if you truly overcome your fear of death, you’ll get over this. I’m more interested in knowing what happens next, and how it all works. I’m slightly salty that I will never get those answers.

Good to know! The mathematics behind this stuff are beyond me at the moment.

We also need ranked-choice voting.

I got a thumbs-up reply to an email once and immediately looked up how to block it.

IMHO [Fedora Kinoite] (https://fedoraproject.org/atomic-desktops/kinoite/) is this for people who don’t want a gaming-focused OS.

Scots shares many words with English, and many words that look like they are English words spelled differently are indeed distinct Scots words, like gie, wi, aheid, heid / heed, oot, pairt, whit, et cetera. Scots also has a ton of regional dialects, and is spelled phonetically, so spellings can vary widely. There is also literary Scots vs spoken Scots. The Scots on Wikipedia for example is not the sort of Scots you’d usually hear someone speaking, or not at least that I’ve ever heard. Scots vs English as used today is often more of a spectrum than a clear distinction for these reasons. Like, sure, you can write in such a way that 99% of the words are not recognizeable to someone who doesn’t know Scots, but a sentence could also contain words that work in either language and still be considered Scots because those words are shared. There is also writer intention: a writer may use the English spelling of a word, whereas they’d use the Scots version in speech. Likely a result of the fact that for years, Scots speakers have been punished for speaking and writing Scots in schools, as a part of an intentional attempt at erasure of the language. This is where we get features like the “apologetic apostrophe,” which further muddies the waters, making it as though Scots writers are writing ‘English with an accent.’

IMO, I’d definitely call the language in this post Scots. Also, note the distinct Scots grammar: “I’m fair scunnered” vs “I’m fairly annoyed.”

I just smack the tube on the counter

Lol no, you don’t typically need life support to sleep.

Oh yea.

For me, the machine was on a table beside the bed at least.

Yea, I did one of those too, but it didn’t pick anything up, so I had to go in.

You have to speak to the camera looming above your head, then they’ll come and unplug you.

Yea, sleep studies suck. You’re in stuffy room tethered to a machine by a million wires everywhere from your knees up and covered in smelly glue and sticky pads. After a night of that, if you’re lucky, you’ll get to stay for the entire next day and try to force yourself to take naps every couple of hours.

Try living in the US; you’ll change your tune. Piss boiled; take your upvote.

I remember when anything from a chippy came wrapped in newspaper. I don’t know why, but I really appreciated that as a kid.

Name and shame!
