Well remember many of them got $1000 bonuses as a reward from their employers for voting Trump, or something.

Was Four Seasons Landscaping booked this time?

Looks like I’m on 1password 8 in Linux. For whatever reason, I just prefer the app instead of having the browser pop open 1password.com to edit records. I don’t know why, it just bugs me. I know part of it is that I want to use the native app to show support for it.

When you “drain the swamp” what is left is all of the muck and mud at the bottom of it.

The plugin works fine, but it can’t call the separate program if you have that installed.

Because I wanted it to integrate with 1password full client.

Every time this is asked, I post the same comment. I used Kubuntu for years and liked it, but more recently they started doing things that annoyed me. The biggest was related to snaps and Firefox. Now, sandboxing a browser is probably a great idea, but I wanted to use the regular deb install, so I followed the directions to disable the snap install and used the deb. However, Ubuntu overrode that decision several times - I’d start browsing, then realize I was using a snap AGAIN. Happened a few times over a couple years. If it happened once, eh, maybe an error, but it happened 3 or 4 times. I came to the conclusion I wasn’t in control of my system, Ubuntu was.

I switched to Debian and am happy with my choice.

Those are those post-birth abortions Trump was complaining about.

Why do people think a dozen eggs costs $12?

A quick search turned up this 18 count of eggs for $9 at our local chain. And that was just the first result I found that had the price on the page (you have to click a button to see it, unfortunately, but it is there).

I actually think he does believe the lies he spouts. For him, reality is whatever he wants it to be in that moment.

Are you saying he didn’t use a riffle?

Yeah. I grew up in the days of serial ports and parallel ports, and USB in general is so much better for most purposes. (I recall plugging my first mouse into the serial port…but wait! Where will my Hayes Smartmodem modem plug into then? Also, don’t plug and unplug things from the serial port while the computer is running.)

And USB-C is even better. My tablet needs a charge? Well my laptop charger is right here… My phone is low and needs a quick charge? Well my USB-C tablet charger will give it a decent boost very quickly. No worries about getting it plugged in the wrong way, either.

I have a docking station for my work laptop, so when I had to replace my personal laptop, a laptop that supported USB-C power delivery was mandatory. I don’t use it with the docking station very often, but knowing I can without an issue is great. My wife also has a Macbook that works on the docking station, too, in case she ever wants to use my dual monitor setup. All three laptops, from three different brands, are just plug in and go.

I gave up running an email server long ago - I thought it was basically impossible because too many spammers were doing it for nefarious purposes.

I came across a bowling arcade game that ran Linux. Still kind of wishing I’d bought it.

Pretty sure it’s this one.

I saw a Trump/Vance sign the other day that had started as a Trump/Pence sign originally, and they just changed the first two letters of the VP’s name - the different color of those two letters made it clear.

It made me wonder if Trump picked Vance because his name was so similar to Pence.

Even if he wins, he’ll rage that there was tampering, because it should have been 100% Trump, in his mind.

Shouldn’t it be an X 2.0? Did he just deadname his own company?

Pretty much. Oh but the updated dependency required for your new program breaks an old program you’ve been relying on for years!

“If you want to know how Linux works, ask a Slackware user.”

I’ve mentioned this a lot lately, but I used Slackware from the late 90s (3.x days) until about 2009 on my desktop and laptop, and about 2017 on my server. I just got tired of dealing with dependencies and switched to Debian (all three run Debian now). I had the CD subscription and would automatically receive the latest version about twice a year.

Patrick Volkerding (if my memory is accurate) has my utmost respect, and I do feel a little bad about abandoning it, but I just didn’t have the time to deal with it any more.
