Calligraphy just kind of means “pretty writing”, it’s not bound to a specific style. Edward Johnston used the term “penmanship” more often. Cursive means that the letters are formed in a “running” way, as opposed to the many times you have to lift the nib in some other styles. Even the romans had a cursive form of the letters we now refer to as “capitals” or “upper case”.
The urge to distrohop can be a distraction, but an itch that needs to be scratched now and then. I tend to always end up where I started, but when I do I feel better about it.
There’s no reception inside a person though, so you can’t call the phone to make it vibrate.
My guess would be someone trying to make stone tools by banging rocks together, a spark fell into dry grass, etc. But, you know, just a guess.

Do you know which packages and what defaults? I’ve tried to find the differences but I can’t really find what is different, except for wallpaper etc.
What is in LMDE that isn’t in plain Debian out of the box beyond branding?
It did make sense at one point. They implemented a music player with a daemon part and a client part, so from that you had the mpd server and mpc client. Someone wrote an ncurses frontend for the client, naturally called ncmpc. Iirc that person abandoned it and someone else took over with a new iteration. ncmpcpp. But it really is a bad name.
For a long time I used the music player ncmpcpp. The name makes perfect sense if you already know what it means and how it relates to other things.

Maybe it’s all propaganda and fairphone uses slave labour, but that would surprise me. Another thing I thought about is that tech is just more expensive in europe in general. It’s common that we pay 20% more for the same phone or laptop in europe compared to the US.

For buying gifts, for example.
Cowsay as a Service. A Go microservice that lets you send form or json http post with curl or whatever to an api over the internet and in return you get the cowsay ascii art you requested.
I did the same thing, but with ubuntu. Now, you and I can troubleshoot issues and have patience. But someone who is sort of reluctant to begin with, it’s a hard sell if there are hurdles.
I’m actually thinking about switching from Debian to Mint. I’m thinking that if Mint is the recommended distro for people new to Linux, they will need a big community to answer questions in forums.

This was a long time ago though, but the bullets then were steel core and rubber around it. Not sure if they use different ones in the US.
