I know of two belonging to two separate friends that would fetch.

Wagler was particularly good at it and would fetch just about everything, bring it right to you, and bite you for your troubles. This was 25 years ago and I haven’t kept in touch. I suspect Wagler is no longer with us.

Honey demands wadded up paper balls to fetch and adorably half-asses it getting either distracted and playing with one instead, or just wandering off and only remembering later that he was doing it.

I grew up with a load of cats and have never had one that was remotely interested.

Yeah, I probably don’t need 32gb either, but RAM was so cheap at the time, and it gave me the chance to put my old 16gb into my work PC which was down to 8 since a stick died on me.

Well, ‘casual’ in that I never did get into the nitty-gritty too much. I had to learn to sling a few terminal commands for this-and-that, but otherwise I almost never touch it. It browses the web, edits documents, prints pdfs, plays audio files, and does a little video editing in Blender just fine.

If there were Linux competitions, I’d definitely be out in the early rounds.

Long term casual? I’ve been using it in some form since the early 00s when I installed Ubuntu 6 on an aging laptop. Currently I’ve got an HP Stream 13 that only functions thanks to Lubuntu, and Mint is on my work PC. Unfortunately thanks to a music hobby and a bunch of shitty VST vendors who refuse to support Linux I run Windows at home.

I rarely open a terminal.

Also using 2019 hardware! I dread the day something dies, though. Luckily I upgraded to 32gb of RAM the last time it was super cheap. I’m hoping this machine has another ten years in it.

In Korea, they refer to it as “magic” time. Take that as you will.

I have to have Facebook messenger installed because it’s the only way I have to contact several out-of-date friends and family. Notifications enabled for the same reason. It will send a notification when you get a message. Ok.

If you happen to leave that notification there to say, maybe check that message later, it will send a second notification to remind you of the first notification.

Oh, it also makes loud annoying noises when you or someone else is typing in a chatroom.

Fuck Facebook messenger. With a rusty hammer. Sideways. In a vat of acid.

To compare this to music streaming, I have a couple of tracks with ~4 million listens, and they each made ~$20.
