Professional magician here - when I do my show for kids I always get them to shout out "Boom!" and explain that it's like a special effect in the movies.

Whenever I say I'm going to teach my favourite magic word, some kid always chimes in with "Abracadabra". I think it's from Vaudeville - some magician made it up and everyone copied them ever since.

Not a single positive comment?

I used to be depressed, somehow pushed through. There is hope ppl.

Therapy is a real solution. Talk about it, don't bottle up your feelings.

Do something, anything is better than nothing. Do the dishes, make the bed!

Long ago now - ex but in the same friend group so we ended up going back to her place one night. It was all nice until we had an argument, she kicked me out but KEPT MY CAR KEYS.

I ended up walking many Kms (this was before everyone owned a cell phone) to a mutual friends house, eventually they managed to convince her to give the keys back. Apparently it was all my fault.

I run pi-hole in docker in the background of our libreelec (Kodi) home entertainment system and it works great. It's a MUST if you have kids, my son has more freedom to use the internet since I know he is mostly covered by extensive block lists. Using raspberry pi 400, we watch Netflix, play Nintendo games, watch YouTube and have a family hard drive for shared photos and files.

Smart TV is such bs.

At home we have a computer monitor connected to raspberry pi which can do literally every type of content including games while running pi-hole and device backups in the background, VPN included. Ain't nobody tracking my family..

I have a paranoid fear that some day I will be required to write an ampersand..

I'm voting for manjaro here too, it's been working great for me for years. But noobs should 100% go for mint

When windows XP went away I got 12 more years of updates on my old dell laptop - with Linux of course. The laptop died before 32 bit support did.

 

Hopefully nobody tells them about the raspberry pi..

Or 3 branches..

I prefer to just delete the whole .git and start a new repository with the new version. We are pivoting the project, new name and new repo

I'm guessing not - Google probably wants the data for itself.

Does this apply to Android studio?

 

Battery on my Android Tablet died, so I upgraded it with 18650 replaceable batteries. Tutorial with pics

 

So this just happened - those of you who have a Xiaomi phone know when you install apps it has it's own "Virus Checker" screen which comes up before the app is approved for install. This is provided by Avast I just found out..

Anyway while installing an app from F-droid today I got an error message on this screen - which said "app from unknown source" and two buttons below - "Ignore" and "Install". So I clicked on "Install" since I wanted to install the app and then noticed that the install process seemed a bit different (I can't remember what happened exactly) but I checked the app on F-Droid and the version history wasn't available - which a notice says means the app was installed from Play Store or somewhere else. But I just installed it from F-Droid!

So I tried another few apps and it happened again for one of them. I clicked around and there it was, some sort of Xiaomi app store installing versions of the app instead of the one I told my phone to install.

I guess there is an innocent explanation for this - stopping people from installing malware and giving them a "correct" version of the app they wanted - but I have disabled it on my phone, I know what I am doing and if I want the cracked version it's because that's the version I meant to install ;)
