  • I have a colleague. She doesn’t like Windows (more like she doesn’t like MS spying), has a laptop with Ubuntu, but she also doesn’t like change.

    This put her in weird situation, when she still has PC with Windows 7, outdated firefox and complains youtube is borked all the time. And once she moves to laptop, there’s old Ubuntu (more than couple major releases old) which was never updated, because “she liked it that way”. Guess what? Similar problems.

    I told her many times that if she wanted carefree linux experience, she should update it once in a while, there’s no evil MS behind it, but no. She never updates because reasons. She rather visit some obscure website that presents some terminal commands she doean’t understand, but copy them over anyway and voila… the linux is in even worse state than before.

    That’s why linux is not hotfix for everything.



  • Hello fellow universal donor. I’m blessed with the same blood type, so I donate the blood when I can at my local hospital. Usually 3x a year.

    At first there was not much thought behind it, as both my parents went there too. When I turned 18 they just asked: “Do you want to go too?” And my answer was obviously yes, because why not? It was day off school, after all.

    Now it’s just automatic. Since I only donate in my local hospital (small town, 15k people) I believe my blood gets to help people. They don’t pay for it, it’s volunteer, organized by red cross. They used to cover bus ride, but lately switched that for “food stamp” instead. We also get juice, coffee and snack once donated. The good part is, it’s still day off work where I live.
