  • There has been other comic book adaptation of his work with various success. One important aspect is the art style, some styles just clash and distract from the story others enhance and some are just there. I suggest doing an image search “Discworld graphic novel” to get an idea. I think a great adaptation of a work makes you wonder how the images where conveyed in prose, since the image and words flow in such a way that can only be done in comic book form. It actually makes you want to go back and read the original.

    I think Slauderhouse Five graphic novel does a great job of this.



  • Financial institutions are not as secure as you think.

    Every once in a while I will see someone ask “We bank online why can’t we vote online?” Banking is secure enough that the money the banks lose is less than the money they make. Also not all lose of funds will hurt the bank if the individual is scammed, since individuals are supposed to keep their accounts secure and not fall for scams.

    Your bank is using old technology and Excel for a lot of internal records keeping. Most fraud detection is a cost to the bank not a money maker. Stopping money laundering, human trafficking, ect means the bank doesn’t get that money and has to pay people to investigate it and shudder report to the government.

    Like almost every other business out there they work off of poorly made or old tech and the lowest paid people are push to more work with less time and resources.


  • I’m going to move over to Mint on my laptop, it’s older but still working great after I swapped an SSD drive in. Biggest issue is backing up the laptop before installing Linux. I have another computer I plan on duel boot with Windows 10 so I have access if I need windows for certain programs. I have no control over my work computer so Windows 11 there.

    And unless one of my brothers steps up and buys our Dad a Windows 11 computer (I bought the Windows 10 computer, which is why it was so cheap it can’t take 11. 😆 ) since I’m his tech support if my brothers don’t step up he is going to Linux. No matter what I’m going to have to listen to him complain about how it is different so it will be a good time to move to Linux. Probably a version that tries to mimic Windows.
