But also this: It *can* be fixed with just a screwdriver. R2R is great.

My Framework 13 suffered a broken display a couple of weeks back. I found it on the floor face down, with a large black band on the screen when powered on 😬 I think the dog knocked it off the table and then stepped on it. He's quite a chonker. I got a replacement screen and manage to not fuck up fitting it, so that's a result.

That is actually the first screen I've ever broken, on anything. Typical it would be my own gear that I have to pay to fix...

For an alpha (specifically Alpha 3) it is very decent. No instability so far, very responsive. Speed is subjective though, I suspect it's not doing many animations which really kill a DE. It's snappy. Hope it stays that way. The green glowing active window border is a bit ug, but I can live with it (and it can be changed.

Giving PopOS Cosmic alpha a spin. Really like it so far. #linux

These are called long and thin routes, and were usually the forte of the old 757. Routes that could still turn a profit on a smaller number of passengers. ETOPS meant a small twin could go much further than before.

It's a laugh because we know that person, and have probably *been* that person on some days, but it also ignores things like working on holiday (done that regularly) working well out of hours (ditto) so I won't judge fucking around on the clock too harshly.

Fucking LOL

The wind is howling at the windows. Although I've heard this frequently, it is an unnerving noise.
