Just don’t share the mushrooms around 😳

My kiwiberry plant has now shed the majority of its leaves, so probably time to trim it back while it looks like a bunch of dead sticks in a pot.

A couple bottlebrushes have flowered, though not a heap, maybe 5 to 6 flowers each. And my very small Christmas bushes have started to flower too.

Distro suggestions for grandparents?

Hello there. Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a Linux distro for grandparents? They are over 70 years old, with an old HP desktop and laptop running Windows 10. All they need is a Web browser, so no need for special software or wine to run Windows programs. Would preferably like something that is low maintenance...

I was thinking Fedora as I use it personally on all my computers and really like it, but I thought Gnome would be too much of a drastic change for them since they are coming from Windows. Might just put it on a USB just in case, and let them test out a couple DE’s before committing to anything.

Thanks, and good idea on letting them check out the different DE’s. Does Debian have multiple DE’s ready to go, or do you need to install each one individually?

PetulantBandicoot,

Thanks, I will put Mint on a USB, along side some others as well. I have fond memories of Mint, as it was my first distro.

Thanks for the ideas. Will the update script still need sudo to run, or can it be done at an unprivileged user level?

Queenslanders are also getting a $1000 rebate from the state government. So in total, $1300 off our energy bills in the next financial year.

Kind of shocked the federal government are giving $300 to every household.

Very much reeks of vote buying. “Hey Australia, look at all this free money we are passing on to you.”

I mean, thanks I guess, but I am already getting a massive benefit from the stage 3 tax cuts. Why not take that $3.5 BILLION and invest it in something that will keep energy prices down for ever, rather than band-aid over it for 12 months. By all means, give the rebate to low income earners and those in real need of it, but people who are not struggling in the slightest should not be getting the rebate.

I guess the government have to play to the lowest common denominator in the voting base. Not all Australians understand that this money isn’t actually free and it will cost us in the long run (every subsequent budget for the next decade is predicted to be in deficit rather than surplus).

A whole months wage evaporated into thin air. That’s really freaking sad. I really hope they all can get something from the eventual liquidation.

Also this quote:

“Centrelink is not enough to support a family — it’s probably not even enough to support one person.”

Not even a safety net for them to fall back on, the whole system is cooked.

You can also buy the music directly, if you don’t want the subscription, and then self-host it on Plex or Jellyfin, etc.

“Everything is affordable if we choose to care about it”.

That’s a fantastic quote right there.

Huh, I didn’t realise this was the same link from nearly 12 months ago, referring to the cross-post.

Also, ABC article for the announcement.
