Queueing culture is hilarious. Indians > Italians (ok, Italians are probably more entertaining), brits (I imagined them trying to bring queueing to indians and gave up... although india does have a semi-line culture in limited ways nowa

I switched my parents to linux during the gnome 2 days and have given them a consistent environment ever since (kept them on mate). It is true, they could not do this themselves and sometimes my mom can test my patience, but this is the way

Around me, the online grocery shopping and pickup is still pretty popular post-covid. There's always a worker or two going around the store picking up for the online orders, so there's room here for some type of site-local automa
