A photo of a black computer screen with the Ubuntu MATE logo and the words, "Unattended-upgrade in progress during shutdown, please don't turn off the computer"
Ive been using Ubuntu MATE for years. I've never seen this before.

Two people engaged in a tea duel. They are sat opposite each other, wearing steampunk costumes. Each has a cup of tea in front of them, and they are each holding a biscuit.
My son wearing a black cloak with hood up and a black plague doctor mask.
Went to a steampunk event at Middleport Pottery. The tea duelling was surprisingly good fun 🙂

Today I learned that Mork and Mindy was a spin-off of Happy Days 😮
Apparently Robin Williams played an alien in an episode of Happy Days, and he was so popular it was turned into a series.
I now have a certificate to prove that I'm not a tech bro.
I scored 6% on the Tech Bro Assessment. Verdict: not a tech bro. Take the quiz: https://amiatechbro.com

If like me, your interests include both tanks and LGBT rights, you might like to take a look at this (small) section of my RedBubble shop.
I'm particularly proud of the "Protect trans kids" design.

A stranger complimented me on my protect trans kids t-shirt today. I'm not very good at responding to compliments, but it meant a lot to me.
I'm going to try and compliment other people on their clothes more often. Especially if they're showing support for marginalised communities. [1/2]
Played Alice is Missing tonight. It was very emotional, as usual, but surprisingly wholesome and uplifting. All the PCs and Alice survived. I've never seen that before.

It's an excellent film. Even at 13, Natalie Portman was a very good actor.
We've watching Leon (the 1994 Luc Besson film) with our eldest. I haven't seen this for years.
Some good news: Labour have dropped plans to allow AI companies to make use of copyright-protected works without a licence. The proposal only got 3% support during a consultation.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that any job involving hardware will have too little space and too much dust.
I find it really odd that it never occurred to her that if she hired humans instead of using AI, she'd get the human connection she apparently craves. [2/2]

I sometimes see retro computing posts on here. I have no interest in old Commodore 64s or game consoles, but a while ago I bought a second hand Palm m105 and reminded myself how much I loved mine. [1/3]
Thank you. I'll be honest, it was very scary, but I'm fine.

Keep your dog on a fucking lead! We're at the emergency vet because a bigger dog ran away from its owner, grabbed Snowy in its mouth, and shook her.
So please, keep your dogs on a lead when out. Oh, and pick up their poo and put it in a bin. Your dog, your responsibility. [1/2]
Ive just seen a post saying $62.2 million is "close to a billion dollars".
