So that's 3 headaches I didn't have tonight ...

Every time I see the word "butch," I can only think of this I'm sorry

No actually I'm not sorry in the slightest

Don't forget, if you're on a Mastodon instance and there's something going on that you don't like, you can add a filter

The capitalist class: You better accept these terrible working conditions and wages or we will replace you with an artificial intelligence!

Meanwhile in the artificial intelligence lab:

Plot twist

It's worse than we feared

You're in trouble now

Seminar at McGill today

Tfw you're trying to get a bunch of later-stage academics all together in the same room at the same time for your doctoral thesis defence

Let me preface this by saying I love elementary OS and I've used it for years happily

But I need to install Nautilus as a file manager for one reason: pantheon-files sorts folders before files, and there's no way to turn it off

This is unexpected and bad behaviour

I've already reported it using their bug-tracker: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pantheon-files/+bug/1533882

But it seems to be ignored :(

I wish there were a way to attach a bounty to it

@elementary

It *was* a pretty good one tbh

Om nom nom

Narrator: and it was true, he doesn't

Doodles from today's notebook

Splish splash!

These are the best fries in the world

This is Art Tea "A"

I assume there's also Art Teas "B" through "D"

And Art Tea "D2"

For the Star Wars fans

By contrast, this is how I've set up LibreOffice on my own computer

I've got the menu bar and a row of my most used buttons, and that's it

And when I open it up on my computer, I fairly consistently get an "Oh ... what word processor are you using?" reaction from people, because it opens so fast and looks pretty nice

But when people open LibreOffice on their own computer for the first time they always go "Oh, never mind" because it looks like it's from 1991

Let me preface this by saying that I love LibreOffice and use it for everything and get others to do so as well

But LibreOffice by default has everything and the kitchen sink in the toolbox

See attached screenshot taken from LibreOffice.org

It's so cluttered, it's nearly unusable

There's the menu bar, two rows of buttons, then a ruler, another toolbar along the right side and then a contextual toolbar at the bottom and then a status bar

"How do you feel about today's weather, Montreal?"
