I’ve had the thought to go back to downloaded files but discovering new artists/song is just so easy with a streaming service. It’s not like I add new songs to my playlist every day, but I do it enough that I’m not listening to the same songs over an over. I don’t really have an idea on how that would keep going when switching.

Yeah the title really is written in a way to badmouth the norwegians. A “scheme” to “lure” the scientist away. Luckily for the US this dastardly scheme would only work if the scientists were treated bad in their home country!

Oh wait

I’ve got a 12 mini and bought it just because it was small. Had nothing else from the apple ecosystem (altho I did buy airpods with the phone cause it had no 3.5mm jack), and still bought it just because it was small. People like to point out and laugh at how tiny the phone is, but I don’t care cause at least I don’t have to carry around half a tablet everyday. Sad to hear they discontinued the mini line, even tho I wasn’t planning on buying apple again.

It might be nicely organized but coming from windows the abbreviations can be downright confusing. For example:

• /bin; recycle bin?
• /etc; other files (etcetera)?
• /home; okay, this is where I can find my own files
• /media; music and pictures? USB drives and CD’s?
• /mnt; no idea but also USBs apparently?
• /root; wait system admin has his own files?
• /sbin; super recycle bin?
• /usr; wait, also where I can find my own files?

Sure, this might be hyperbole and Windows has its own problems, the two different program files folders coming to mind first. But when you come from an OS where system folders are words instead of abbreviations Linux can be really confusing, especially if you are not that tech-savy.
