You listed python.

If you are open to Python, I would recommend: https://textual.textualize.io/

Edit: for clarity, the above is if you want nice TUIs (text gui in terminal). If you want actual windowed applications not in terminal, in regards to Python, I would just say use tkinter.

Here’s a list of projects known to use Textual: https://github.com/Textualize/transcendent-textual

There are a lot of cool projects I would suggest browsing to see what it can do, but the following pages have screenshots that do a good job of showing what it’s capable of:

https://github.com/ChrisBuilds/moneyterm

https://github.com/bluematt/textual-musicplayer

https://github.com/eliasdorneles/usolitaire (I’d love to see someone do minesweeper for terminal)

Extra: while meant for terminal usage, you can use the mouse to interact, can run programs from ssh sessions, and I believe they’ve added the ability to take your TUI into web browsers.

…. Oh, also not restricted to Linux. It does generally work with Mac and windows (would recommend using windows terminal from windows store, it makes things look right, whereas command prompt does not display correctly.

All I want to know is:

1. Can I watch Twitch streams on it?
2. Does it have a built in browser, I can watch videos from non-app services on?

I’ve been using roku for what feels like 15 to 20 years. I’m finally ready to buy an Apple TV just to be able to watch Twitch on it. If Google TV Streamer either has an official Twitch app, or can install normal android apps, like the Twitch app from the play store, and has a web browser that can play videos from standard websites, I am sold.

If someone has, or buys a streamer, please let me know with a reply.

For others, I set up uBlock at minimum.

For myself uBlock + uMatrix.

If on a computer need more security uBlock + uMatrix + NoScript.

uBlock and uMatrix can block scripts, but I find NoScript’s fine grain control to be user friendly. Makes it a pain to browse the web though, until you setup each of your normal sites.

national chain. I think it stored the transactions for transmission, and in-case it didn’t go through we also had the imprints as proof of having the card at the time of transaction. I assume it processed them as a different option instead of instant approval, and probably has different liability implications if the transaction is later denied. Being a big company, was probably fine.

Shop I worked for in 2005… I think … ran cards when the connection was down and took card impressions, and I think the transactions were all auto submitted when the connection came back up.

he was able to buy an AR-15 at 22 I think.

Pretty sure the reports point to him having it for over a decade. Without taking any effort to look it up, I think his dad bought him that gun in like 2013, so he was much younger at the time.

As for ‘good life going’, doesn’t sound that way in general, but apparently he just got his associates degree from community college, and had been accepted into a university, but he decided not to go.

This only makes me favor copyright reform more. Should really cut that down to 25 years or less; anything from before the 21st century should be public domain by now.

You said you are ‘in the EU’, as in currently living in the US for said job?

Are you considered an independent contractor? Or an actual employee of the company?

As a US citizen… I would just advise EU citizens to ‘in general’ avoid working for US companies, we have bad employment policies, and our companies think they can just do the same things in other countries. Obviously everyone should choose for themselves; if you think the extra income is worth it, that is your call, but our work culture is awful.

At the very least, if you do decide to work for a US company… keep it remote. Cost of living in the US is really high, work culture is awful, it’s dangerous, and healthcare costs are crazy. Unless your household is making at least $150k USD/year, you’ll be considered poor to middle-class.

I don’t know if it meets your purposes, nor do I use mac, but I just bought this keyboard:

Burger King has a new burger that I like, and it’s $10 (burger only). I would order it lots if it was $7 to 8, but $10 is a tad much.

Eating out now days is just too expensive in general. If I’m going to eat out, I rather go to an actual restaurant, because fast food costs about the same now days. $14-16 fast food mean vs $12-22 for sit down meal. I can keep the fast food costs down, but that’s usually without a meal, and/or ordering inferior products.

I’m with you, but for my wife’s sake I’d move Dr. Pepper at least one tier above all others.

I use python occasionally at work.

… Not IT approved, but well… we use an MSP, and I get to be a decision maker in the company for certain things, and just do it, because well… I can, and the company keeps me around partially for the things I do with python and sql.

I would like to say Pandas should be used for much of that excel stuff, maybe even replace it, but… Microsoft has decided to bring Python capabilities into excel, so that will likely cement them in your workflow even further:

Yeah, basically you’re a millennial if you’re currently in your 30’s. If you’re within a few years of that age, you may technically be a millennial, or even if not, you may still consider yourself a millennial, and that is fine. Generations are gradients, there is no firm start, or end, and as stated, is more about generalized experiences of your age group.

If you are 25 and want to call yourself a millennial, that’s fine, if you want to call yourself a gen z/zoomer, that’s fine too.

When your console is highly compatible between generations, such as x86/amd64 … maybe should just sale ‘the game’ and give users access to the older console version, and the version with any enhanced features only accessible on the newer console.

I think this is a great time for remaining Reddit users to do a 3 month Reddit detox.

Until recent times, I’ve always thought a govt job was a good thing to have.

Still is, but the constant threat of government shutdowns, in the US at least, as of late, make me feel you need to live below your means and keep a decent chunk of 3 to 6 months pay, because you could suddenly be without pay for a good chunk of time because some idiots think they score political points, or will get their way, by hurting citizens.

This of course refers mostly to salaried workers, as, at least in the us, hourly gets overtime pay at 1.5x normal pay. Up to an extent, many workers appreciate the extra pay.

Not always though, as even then, some companies want lower workforce, and will work them half to death.

But… it’s a Non-commercial Attribution license. /s/ns

I’m joking, but on a more serious note for those that don’t know, not all Creative Commons licenses allow you to monetize, and be sure to actually read which version of license is used if you plan to use a CC work for anything other than personal use.

I get that there are a lot of novel are cool distros out there, but I just stick with Debian (or one of the other well known distros that have been around for decades).

I do it because from a security standpoint, they have my trust. Maybe in 10-20 years with a good reputation and history, but it’s not there.
