Not at all religious/Christian, but this would be a nice shot for those who are. Lovely sunset, and where I spotted it on the edge of our village made for a nice composition. #Photography

@laetsgo@mastodon.xyz hmm the cartoon: Let’s see if the former Duke is actually jailed. It’s very uncommon indeed for the U.K. state to imprison anyone who turns up in court in an expensive suit sadly. I have though, thought for a long time that the USA bleating about not having a monarchy is a hollow boast when they allow their President’s to get away with anything, and frequently anoint their successors who are often relations.

If ever there was a right place to ask this question: what’s the easiest way to help a person off of Windows on their laptop to Linux Mint? Like is there a nice bootable USB image they can have a mess around with and still use their Windows drive? So they can be happy to backup, nuke windows and install Mint. @emsquared I think you might have tips here ?

Loved the comment on this that pointed out R2D2 is shaped like a bin but has all these great functions and gadgets, whereas C3PO is human shaped and only does translation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwsowgBE_P8
