I thought my desk was smooth too untill I got a mousepad. It also keeps the little feet on the bottom of the mouse from getting worn out as quickly. The effort to start and stop the mouse seems trivial, until you see just how easy it can truly be with a mousepad.

It also helps keep crap from building up on the mouse skates since the soft mousepad is constantly "sweeping" the bottom of the mouse.

A full desk-size mouse pad.

If you work at a desktop it makes a huge difference to overall ergonomics.

Also the squatty potty. Especially if you have a high toilet.

The latest round of AMD apus generated a fair amount of debate about how for the same money you could get a cheap CPU and GPU and best it in most tests.

I think Intel would really shine there especially the A750 since it has a lot of quality hardware features including AV1 encoding.

I tried this and also had no luck. Oh well.

According to Wikipedia.

Tuomey assumed a central role in the ensuing investigations, and, with fellow Aldermen E. Harrison Reed and William Tucker, shielded the dairies and turned the hearings into one-sided exercises designed to make dairy critics and established health authorities look ridiculous, even going to the extent of arguing that swill milk was actually as good or better for children than regular milk.

Ah ~~war~~ politics, politics never changes.

Wow this music player app is simple and does everything it should.

Random Commenter: why won't it play video?

MBA: Why isn't this a subscription service?

I wonder if they also fell victim to the deadly credential spraying (see not having 2fa configured on a legacy machine that was somehow still running)

I don't like to stereotype based on names but, if anyone has ever been Gwennyth it's her.

This is just what happens when you're exposed to League for more than 20 minutes.

I think a lot of people get caught up in wanting Linux to "win" be getting more market share or getting XYZ software ported to Linux but Linux is doing great. Unlike Microsoft aggressively pushing Windows and sacrificing their own users on the altar of market share, Linux can just be.

More share would be great and greater software availability would be awesome but Linux doesn't need to "beat" Windows or Mac to be useful or relevant or good. It already is. And I for one look forward to any new DE's that anyone wants to make.

It would be nice to get some kind of more usable CAD program on Linux though but it's not up to Pop_OS to do that, it's up to Autodesk or a team of extremely talented FOSS programmers or a Blender Foundation situation where the whole industry commits to a new open standard.
