Bit of an aside, but my wife needed a new phone and couldn’t wait until now, so she got an iPhone 14 Pro. She had backed up her old phone to iCloud and it was updated to the latest version of iOS 16. Setting up the new iPhone from iCloud was an absolutely hellish experience. For whatever reason, the new phone would refuse to install the newest point release of iOS 16, so whenever it would try to restore from iCloud backup it couldn’t because the backup was created with a newer iOS version. I had to wipe the new phone and restart the restore process 4 times before it finally completed the iOS update and could restore the backup. And one of those times it started to install the software update but just froze after about an hour. Even after it restored from backup, it took another hour for everything (texts, photos, emails) to sync over. I’ve never before experienced this with an iPhone.

Near me is a dive bar on the river called Kuchie’s on the Water and it’s home to some of the most disgusting “food” you’ve ever seen.

I’m pretty sure this is a reference to Austin Powers, where he’s giving the Irish hitman a swirly in a casino bathroom and yelling “WHO DOES NUMBER 2 WORK FOR” while a gambler played by Tom Arnold in the next stall is trying to encourage him on.

That’s right, show that turd who’s boss!

Well shit, better stop using the distro I’ve been happy with for over a year and a half.

Fedora does the same thing where you can choose between RPM or Flatpak. The only flatpak package I’ve ever had problems with was OnlyOffice, and the issue was that the scaling was blown way out of proportions. Switching to the RPM version resolved that.

Right? I mean what other chocolate sandwich cookie is “overflowing with nut”?

You literally can’t go wrong with a Brother b&w laser printer.
