WHALES ON BIKES

And this is why Wellington, New Zealand's most LIBTARD city, has been brought to it's knees by "bike lanes". While hundreds of cars are grid locked and dozens of business are closing down because their customers can't park, every 10 minutes a self righteous whale on a bike rides past, gloriously saving the planet from geoengineered "climate change". Even NORMIES are starting to get really pissed off now.

WELLINGTON WAS SHAKING BACK IN 55

 Yesterday I was asked how many people died in the huge Wellington earthquake of 1855. I had no idea so looked it up online:

The 1855 Wairarapa earthquake affected much of the Cook Strait area of New Zealand, In Wellington, close to the epicentre, the shaking lasted for at least 50 seconds. The magnitude of the earthquake has been estimated as 8.2, the most powerful ever recorded in New Zealand. There were 9 deaths.

But don't worry too much, it's estimated that earthquakes this big happen in NZ less than once every 1000 years, and even by that standard, this one was unusually large.

WEIRD SCENES AT THE LINUX OASIS

As part of my transitioning to Linux process, I'm posting some random oddities that might be helpful to any of the future Windows refugees that I'm sure will be increasing in numbers as part of the great Windows 11 exodus of 2025.

 This is a typical example of the weird process of finding good Linux software. Like many aspects of Linux, sometimes it seems as if it's all being deliberately made as hard as possible.

A basic tool I want on my computer, is a graphic display to show all my drives (I have an operating drive and two slaves). I just want it to show all the folders and display how much space they are taking up. On Windows there are plenty of free options available, and it's fairly easy to find OK ones. https://www.lifewire.com/free-disk-space-analyzer-tools-3986870

Meanwhile on Linux they are like the holy grail, with searches all leading to geeks going on about typing commands in terminal and viewing this data without actually having any GUI (Graphical User Interface). So all totally useless... And then there are lots of apps with stupid looking coloured pie charts. So also totally useless...

What is this purpose of this circular crap?

I was just about ready to give up but a little voice in my head said "this is Linux, you can find anything, never give up" So I kept looking at compilations of useless drive analyzers, until I stumbled upon this one: 3 open source GUI disk usage analyzers for Linux 

The first one was so lame I nearly didn't keep scrolling, but luckily I did because their third choice turned out to be just what I was looking for. It's called QDirStat and it's fairly similar to the one I was using on Windows, but actually better because it works much faster.

This is how I view it:

 

It can also show all sorts of other stuff including some really ugly coloured crap, but that can all be turned off:

 

That is not how I view it!

Success! But yet again the best program on Linux was hidden under a mountain of unusable geek garbage. And that is one of the things that makes switching to Linux more difficult than it needs to be. The entire process was very similar to what I had to do to find a good file browser when I was trying out some different distros.  

 

It's all in the name

Part of why QDirStat was hard to find is that it has a meaningless, incomprehensible, forgettable name. Maybe that's why nobody talks about it. 

What would I call it? Maybe something like "FAGI" (File Analyzer Graphical Interface) - I'd aim for something memorable and a bit dodgy. (Like GIMP!)

 

 

WOMEN'S FOOTBALLER OF THE YEAR

 Women's Footballer of the Year! - Is there a point at which this becomes too obvious?... No, it appears not...

"Zambian soccer star Barbra Banda, hot off a championship-winning season for the Orlando Pride, has been named the BBC’s Women's Footballer of the Year — and immediately became a target for anti-transgender and anti-intersex bullying online"

So saying this MAN is a MAN is bullying? But not saying HE is a MAN would be RETARDED...

 

 

WHY DID JAGUAR BANKRUPT THEMSELVES?

 Yes Jaguar really have just deliberately destroyed their historic brand. Why would they do that? I suspect the Indian parent company are bankrupting the brand so they can short the shares. Either that or they really are woketards. But I'm guessing this is an accounting move.

 They were really cool once. But then they became woke & went bankrupt.

It's sad that this once prestigious car brand will be remembered as totally lame & gay for ever more...
