I left NZ a few years ago and one of my main reasons were the lower incomes and high cost of housing. It all came down to the fact that I couldn’t even afford to rent a flat by my self, whereas right across the Tasman I could earn twice the salary and have a comparable if not lower cost of living.

Eventually I’ve ended up in Europe and I’m earning almost 4 times of what I was earning back home. I’ve considered coming back, bit the prospect of maybe never being able to own a home keeps me away.

Linux user since 2008 here.

Boring Debian for servers and Pop Os for my desktop because everything works out of the box

yes, and according to the article, OpenOffice was already abandoned for 4 years ago by then

My sister’s job just switched to LibreOffice in 2018, OO is still alive and kicking in a lot of small companies

I’m stealing claer

I use glow all the time, I love it!

I’ve been playing with wish too, I see a lot of potential for it

My previous job referred to ex employees as traitors or betrayers

There’s a museum of the incident with a reconstruction of the plane crash in Italy. Absolutely worth a visit. https://www.inbologna.it/the-museum-for-memory-of-ustica-in-bologna.html

It was known for a long time that the plane was downed by a missile, with the French being suspects.

afaik, tyres and brakes are proprietary too

edit: nonstandard would be a better term

and also during non-holiday season

The phrases will appear by the filter, including warnings about harming children, damaging organs and causing impotence and leukaemia.

Right there in the article. Putting a piece or printed paper in your mouth does not damage your organs, cause impotence nor leukemia.

You don’t smoke the filter bit

IHateMoney.org is a nice self hosted FOSS option, joining groups and organising users is dead easy, but the iOS app sucks.

I personally prefer SettleUp despite it being closed source, I find its functionality a lot better than Splitwise

I use Codium on both PopOS and MacOSi, it’s a bit slow to start, but performance is good, but I don’t know how it compares to stock VSCode since I never tested it. But overall I’m very happy with it.

There are plenty of alternatives to the NUC. MinisForum, StarLabs and System76 out of the top of my head

I have two MinisForum miniPCs and I absolutely love them, I’ve had them on for months at the time without any issues. Before I got them I was looking into the Intel NUCs and they were way too expensive for the specs. Sure, their top of the line NUCs are absolute beasts in a tiny form factor, but their basic entry level stuff is for burning money
