I lucky enough to get my first DSL line in 1997.

Was only paying for 128Kbps down but this was before they actually had any throttling in place, and I was close enough to the DLAM to get 1Mbit down. It was mind-blowing at a time when a 1.44Mbps T1 line was $1000+/month pipe dream!

He’ll be back in 2 and 2…

You rang?

If you believe in democracy, yes.

English probably. 😁

It’s not about saying Biden is to blame. Trump 100% should have blame.

But the fact that someone else STARTED (or in this case re-started) a bad thing doesn’t mean the next person in power gets a free pass for not working to stop it again.

So it’s perfectly fair to call out Biden for not stopping the bad thing that Trump (re)started.

Also…

The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

Just because YOU didn’t know doesn’t mean much. It just means you’re probably not a White Nationalist/Nazi (or maybe it means you are and are just ill informed about the culture and iconography surrounding it ).

It definitely means something to white nationalists.

I’ve always been happiest with xfce4-terminal, though I’m using Konsole currently until XFCE fully supports Wayland.

Way back when, I was more than happy with rxvt.

At one point I had found an existing issue in the bug tracker, but the last time I looked I couldn’t find it again.

And I’ve tried both the open source nouveau driver, and a driver downloaded from Nvidia and they both had the same issue.

Unfortunately no. I mean for the most part it works pretty well (Plasma 6) but I do have a couple consistent issues.

1. On my AMD gaming laptop it has some weird video static artifacts occasionally when running on the laptop screen that don’t exist on external screens. But I know that it it isn’t a problem with the screen, because it happens on two different laptops with the same CPU/ GPU combination.

2. A slightly more serious issue on my work laptop which uses an old Nvidia MX-series GPU, and if I’m using an external screen, Wayland crashes if the screen goes to sleep.

But other than those issues, it’s been pretty good.

At this point I vote we forcibly remove EVERYBODY from the entirety of Israel and Palestine. If they can’t share it nicely, nobody should get to have it.

Copilot can’t even suggest a single Ansible or Terraform task without suggesting invalid/unsupported options. I can’t imagine how bad it is at doing anything actually complex with an actual programming language.

I absolutely love Better off Ted, but it doesn’t surprise me that it was a flop. I feel like the level of satire went way over most people’s heads.

Shame though because it was a hilarious show.

I might if it wasn’t a billion degrees outside from late -April though mid-October.

I have an email address and shell account on a SCO UNIX system that I’ve had since 1994.

I miss Soylent as well. I think the peak was the bottled version right before they switched to the “sqround” bottles.

I too once held to that ideal, but after typing almost exclusively on Model M keyboards for 40+hrs a week (Unix Sysadmin + gamer ) for 30+yrs I started to feel some strain in my fingers and hands.

About a year ago I switched to the SS Apex Pro with adjustable magnetic switches and I’ve been pretty happy with it so far. Yeah the software is kind of stupid but the actuation points can be adjusted and saved into several different profiles from the keyboard without the software, so I’ve been pretty happy with it so far.

Reminds me of a lyric in a song by Ren:

Swallow all your morals, they’re a poor man’s quality
