Doubletwist

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!

If you believe in democracy, yes.

The sad thing it, for streaming “stations”, Pandora still has the best algorithms and functioning (thumbs up/down only being applicable to that specific ‘station’).

It’s a shame they’ve neglected their apps and almost everything else about their business.

English probably. 😁

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.

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.

XFS on my server VMs and my laptops and desktops.

ZFS on my file server. I’d use it on my laptops and desktops too (and have done when I was using Xubuntu) but I’ve switched toFedora which doesn’t come with a way to easily install with ZFS and I don’t feel like jumping through hoops to get it done. And I can’t stand btrfs. I don’t know what it is about it, but I just don’t like it.

Since Trump is obviously willing to do just about anything to avoid paying for his crimes, I wonder if there comes a point where it makes sense for Biden or Harris to just offer him a pardon (knowing it only covers federal crimes) if he’ll just drop out of the race.

Is it stupid and sad? Yes, yes it is. But I’d rather Trump get pardoned for some of his crimes than somehow get elected president again. I’d say that’s a small price to pay.

Trying to, but every time we do the right loses their damned minds.

I love how people like you take “It’s about damned time we have a woman (or black, circa 2008) president after centuries of not treating them equally” and somehow interpret that as “We’re trying to keep the white male down”.

I’m an old fogey who grew up reading physical books and newspapers but I absolutely need dark mode on backlit displays. I despise light mode.

Both are true. And they want the data privatized so only they can profit from it.

(And for the record, it’s sad that voters are holding Biden to a much higher standard than Trump. But here we are.)

Except that’s been the whole point of this exercise from day one!

The voters on the right have proven that they have NO standards that a candidate needs to live up to, while the voters on the left are the ones who are screaming “we need to have high standards for the people who are going to run the country”

Until recently, while the left would have preferred an even better candidate, Biden at least just barely fell above the seemingly minimum bar, especially when compared against Trump. But now Biden seems to have fallen right to the cusp of where the voters who still have standards are wondering if he’s fallen below them, and if there’s might be a better option, both from the standpoint of meeting their standards, and the standpoint of actually being able to win against Trump, who MUST lose for our nation to avoid disaster.

But would it have it have remained left alone long enough to get to the point where the federation and prime directive protected it…

Loved the Dreamcast. Other than the lack of DVD player, I still think it was better than the PS2.

Quite a few games that were released on both consoles looked better and played more smoothly on the Dreamcast than they did on the supposedly more powerful PS2. Dave Mirra BMX is one that immediately comes to mind. It was way better on the Dreamcast.

I’ve been using FolderSync (Pro in my case) for many years to sync files (automatically and/or on-demand) from my phone to my Linux server.

AMD GPU just works, no fussing about, get straight to fragging on Xonotic and Counter Strike

Unless you have a monitor that requires HDMI 2.1 to get full resolution/refresh. Then it only works partially.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Linux, and I’ve been using it on my desktops/laptops for almost 30 years at this point.

But there are still issues to deal with on a regular basis, same as Windows or OSX.

That was the first thing I thought of.

Out of everything we have today, Discord is arguably the best we’ve got.

That’s amazingly depressing.

Because up until Broadcom bought them, it was a good product with a ton of useful features, endless supported integrations with 3rd party software and hardware, relatively easy to learn/use, with good support, all at reasonable and flexible price points depending on your needs.

Of course Broadcom has now thrown all of that into the toilet…
