Were the rock-filled quarries at least exclusive to Stargate, or were they shared among lots of shows like the BBC Quarry?

Or rather Donnie calls his buddy Elon, who stuffs the buck into a Hyperloop pod and fires it away at 300mph.

So what do folks here think? A wonderful thing? Sacrilege? Other?

I’d really rather avoid something as complex as GIMP. The last time I tried it, the menus had so many options they didn’t even fit on my screen!

But beggars can’t be choosers, might have to bite the bullet.

Not GUI. But maybe still preferable to installing GIMP.

Reminded me of the Pentium as a Navajo weaving.

The Conservatives increased their share of the vote compared to the last election (+7.5%), in particular among younger voters. The Liberals only scraped together just enough for only a minority govt because the vote for other parties plummeted.

The rich can always find ways around the law, including income-based fines. See the death of singer Kirsty McColl.

Right?

Left a bit… a bit more… just a little more…

I do wish something like AM’s functions was built into an all-in-one package manager for my distro. The closest I found was bauh which handles “AppImage, Debian and Arch Linux packages (including AUR), Flatpak, Snap and Web applications”. Which seems like an all-in-one solution.

But the problem with bauh (that last time I tried it) is that it accesses only a small number of (often very out-of-date) AppImages from the largely moribund AppImageHub.com, unlike AM, which pulls in the latest releases from loads of GitHub repos, and adds more on a frequent basis or request.

AM puts all AppImages in /opt for me, as well as automatically creating menu entries, easy updates etc.

I use AM package manager for that.

Personally, I use AM. Takes care of that and more.

It is CLI and I’m GUI by nature, but AM is easy enough for me. Just yesterday I did a simple am -u and got the latest updated versions of qBittorrent, FreeTube, yt-dlp etc. (I.e. the kind of program that system packages are too out of date to work safely or even work at all.)

There are other options like zap (CLI), Gear Lever (GUI) and just recently I believe the Nitrux distro came out with a complete AppImage software manager. (Checking it out, https://github.com/Nitrux/nx-software-center , it seems it pulls from AppImageHub.com, which unfortunately has largely been forgotten by developers, a lot of software is either out of date, unverifiable or completely absent. AM is much more up-to-date, pulling the latest AppImages mostly from official GitHub repos.)

Great, thanks for the nightmares!
