I’ve been summoned a couple times. Was paid $12 for not being selected to the jury. I think you’re off the roster for awhile? They were about a decade apart.

My favorite of his was “apocalyptic dingleberry.”

That’s not consoles, that’s cartridges.

The problem I have with the Matrix sequels…1. they’re too far up their own ass. The original was a little up its own ass but it was up the part of its own ass that mattered for the story it was telling. Reloaded and Revelations are up their whole ass. “Love is a word.” 🙄 2. The original is a very straightforward hero’s journey in which deciding to answer the call is the ultimate key to the hero’s power. The sequels are about fate and inevitability and how basically no decision can ever matter. So we’re sorry to have bothered you.

GTK fully expands to GNU’s Not Unix Image Manipulation Tool Kit.

It’s not open source unless the package name is a scabby dumpster fire.

It’s been so long that I’ve gamed on Windows that I’ll have to take your word for it.

The grapuh of Linux suitability as a function of user skill is a U. At the bottom of user skill, you’ve got your aunt who needs a Chrome bootloader. Linux is perfect for them, maybe better than Windows.

As you get into the middle, you get into “I just need to use Photoshop” or “I just want to play Valorant”. It’s gotten to where software that doesn’t run on Linux is a deliberate choice, but they’re still out there. Gaming has been easing up in large part due to Valve, so the middle of the U has been rising, but it’s still a big dip.

At the top end you’ve got the computer science types developing all these internet and AI based systems almost all of which run on Linux servers in the back end. Linux dominates literally every computing platform except desktops.

As a man, that’s been my experience.

I live in the American Southeast. We generally turn on the air conditioning.

Login and startx?

Too late. !conservative@sh.itjust.works

On a human, we have shoulders, upper back, middle back, lower back and ass. On a cow, these are called Chuck, Rib, Top Loin, Loin and Round.

Both critters have muscles that run parallel to the spine. Ribeyes come from the rib primal, and are more tender and have a richer more buttery flavor. Go assward past the top loin primal where T-bones come from and you arrive at the Loin primal where we get among other things sirloin steaks, which compared to ribeyes are chewier but bring a more meaty, beefy flavor.

After about a decade on Mint I ended up on Fedora.

Reminds me of a joke, A Texan and a Carolinian rancher meet in a bar. The Texan says “Yessir, it takes me two days to drive my pickup truck across my ranch.” The Carolinian says “Yeah I had a truck like that, but I got it fixed.”

I live in Suburban North Carolina, I haven’t locked my house in years.

No it couldn’t, because Windows 8.1 was.

Which is why I said “or endorsed by”. Fedora’s Discover points to their own .rpm repo, their own flatpak repo, and Flathub. Including Flathub out of the box says “We the distro maintainers trust Flathub.”

I look at it this way: The repository is hosted by, or endorsed by, the developers of the distro. If you don’t trust their software repository, why would you trust the distro itself?

Flying the Stars and Stripes upside down is a distress call. And at least in my neck of the woods, authorities will respond to it; on occasion the students at high schools tasked with hoisting the flag in the morning will sometimes attach it upside down, and police or fire show up to ask what’s wrong.
