I tried it once. I had no interest in returning.

There are only open and women's events. Men's events do not exist. Women's events exist because women wish them to.

If that was the case why is there no mens category where women are not allowed to compete? There is only an open section and a women's section. Men who identify as women are correctly excluded from the latter.

I literally sat with my fingers in my ears during the entire length of "Top Gun: Maverick". Ironic that it won an Oscar for sound. I won't be going to the cinema again if that is the ongoing trend. I value what is left of my hearing too much.

GNOME is fine. It is a good option for Linux users who want to use their systems to get some work done instead of messing around changing configuration settings.

I run GNOME on Debian stable and developed a shogi analysis GUI: https://github.com/schadfield/....

I wonder how productive those people are who are endlessly distro hopping and ricing their desktops?

I also lurked too long before getting an account. It made my ID much higher than it should have been,

I had some plastic Meccano sets. They were great fun and very creative. Lots of stuff like cogs and chains to make stuff which span around fast. Good times.

I guess this is not using Wayland? I do not see much point in developing new X11 desktop environments at this stage.

The only game in town.

The popular online correspondence chess services (chess.com, lichess.org) do NOT allow computer use but you can consult openings databases derived from human v human games.

I have recently switched from international chess to its Japanese version shogi and play correspondence shogi on lishogi.org. A better way learn then endless blitz games.

I bought my first Apple product - a super-duper 16" MacBook Pro with an 8xi9 CPU and 32 GB RAM - a couple of years ago and used it every day. This summer I found myself sat often in a cooler room downstairs and rather than carrying the MacBook and charger downstairs used my old VAIO laptop instead.

You know what? I was soon convinced that for all its flaws I would much rather use Windows 10 than macOS. Even after two years using macOS exclusively I still found Windows more comfortable to use and I was happy to be reunited with all my favourite Windows applications.

I sold the MacBook.

Alcohol is not a good treatment for anxiety. When the effects of the alcohol wear off the anxiety returns more strongly. Of course you can drink again and again - constantly increasing the dose to counter the effects of tolerance - but you risk becoming addicted.

Best thing I ever did was give smoking. The second best was give up drinking alcohol.

These highly addictive, toxic substances are a scourge on society.

After many years as a free Google Apps for Domains user I moved my domain over to iCloud today. As I was using Mail.app on macOS and iOS anyway it wasn't a big upset. No longer free but ¥130 / month buys me more storage than I need.

Transferring the domain and 3 GB of mail data from a Google Takeout was pretty straightforward.

He objects to being triggered.
