In France it was “dièse” (like “sharp” in music) and it became hashtag too. In Québec it’s the “carré” meaning the square, and people says hashtag now too.

I have always called that shebang.

reminds me of one I took in Paris

I bough a box of 100 Zeiss wipes in walmart, I like them, it’s pretty cheap.

oh god yes because I even used djgpp in DOS in the 90s

Of course!!! Back in the 90s, under DOS, we had something called Norton Utilities, there was some disk explorer and things like this, and a utility called Norton Commander, nc.exe, the double panel, blue on blue, easy to copy, move, explore zip as folder, etc. I used it a lot in the DOS day.

Then Microsoft Windows 3 came and a guy (iirc a Switzerland guy named Ghisler, I know it because when I want to go it, I go to ghisler.ch) wrote a NC clone in Delphi and named it Windows Commander, with the same double panel and shortcut and all, F5, F6, F7, Ctrl-U, etc. He ported it to W95 then NT then then then and at one time Microsoft told him to rename it, so it became Total Commander.

So I used NC in DOS for maybe 7 or 8 years and I’m using it in Windows for more than 30 years. I almost don’t know how to use the Windows Explorer to copy/move/explore archive etc, After 30 years of using a utility to navigate your HDD and manipulate files, it is a second nature.

PS: yes I have a license since early 2000.

PPS: Double Commander in Linux is almost a 100% clone.

true, sometimes I use 127.1 instead of 127.0.0.1 and I have some coworkers that don’t know the 0 is optional and are wtf.

well, I’m 55, so the 20 of them, and some I still says once a week :)

Yes but switching distro you can fuck up some settings… Better to copy documents downloads etc but all the hidden directories I do it selectively

yup, but careful with hidden folder like .config and a few others

Being 55 and listening to FM radio (music, no talk), you are absolutely right.

If partitions are unmounted it’s normal it can not display info about them. Go into Thunar or whatever and double click the partition/volume devices to mount them?

Sure you can burn a CD, but I think I have nothing to play them anymore. My car (2020) does not have a CD player anymore. Nor my PC nor my laptop have one. I may have in my drawer an old BD reader DVD burner/reader with a SATA plug or something, I remember I plugged it on my laptop with a USB adapter yearsssss ago to rip my LOTR BD. It has been used 1 time in like 10 years.

Yes, this is why I am always admin on my Windows laptop from work, it’s a requisite for me.

As far as I understand Canada has shit lot of oil, but decided to sell it to the USA, and import/buy from Africa/Middle East/Word. It does not make sense.

Well, in QC it’s like this for as far as I remember… ER at 200%, people there 48h+, people dying waiting, it’s part of the system here.

I’m old, so tons of them… mainly SF, fantasy, etc. all the LOTR (extended), Star Wars, Star Trek, Alien, BTTF, etc. Dances With Wolves (the extended version)

a good trilogy too: Once upon a time in the West, Duck, You Sucker!, Once upon a time in America.

Seriously tons of movies from 2000 and less. Also dozens and dozens of French movies (native language) I have watched multiple times.

I never watched a MCU movie for instance. Since LOTR trilogy I basically stopped watching new movies, nothing beats them.

I’m in QC and yes we all want to stop changing hour!!! We have election this fall, and I hope before leaving, current gov (CAQ) will end this.

LOL they are bringing back the WMD again, it worked before, why wouldn’t it now?
