  1. A quotation from Maurois

    Growing old is no more than a bad habit which a busy man has no time to form.
     
    [Vieillir n’est qu’une mauvaise habitude; l’homme occupé n’a pas le temps de la prendre.]

    André Maurois (1885-1967) French author [b. Émile Salomon Wilhelm Herzog]
    The Art of Living [Un Art de Vivre], ch. 8 “The Art of Growing Old” (1939) [tr. Whitall (1940)]

  5. My aging dad who lives in a far away country: "How long can I keep using Windows 10? Can you install Linux remotely? Will it look different?"

    😱

    Suggested he drag his creaky old ass here while there's still a bit of jet fuel left and I give him a prepared Linux Laptop to take home instead of his old tower PC sitting under an old desk.

    Undoubtedly he'll then complain it doesn't have MS Works on it 😩

    Why did Windows have to get so thoroughly enshittified that even my dad, a lifelong Windows user, knows, without my doing, that it is better to switch to Linux than suffer Windows 11.
