They don’t listen to what he says. They listen to what they want to hear.

Enola sounds pretty close to Ebola… Two reasons to censor this picture!

We had our cats in for their annual checkups a few years back, and the vet noted they were due for their vaccinations. The way she said it, we could hear she was bracing for an argument. I wonder if someone had laid into her about it earlier that day.

We, of course, had the vaccinations done, much to her relief.

What are you doing this weekend, Trump? Something gay, no doubt?

They’re things like drive mapping scripts, stuff like that. They’re definitely normal for our setup. Just not sure why they have to interrupt me!

I have an ongoing irritation with windows (use it for work, Linux at home): It steals focus from the window you’re using if another window opens.

Drives me nuts. I’ll be typing my password and pop! Oh look I just typed my password into something else that popped up because IT requires this program to run on login today.

KDE is much better about not stealing window focus like that.

I’ve seen 3D printed Mount Rushmore replicas that have trump as a 5th face.

I recall trying Mandrake at some point, but I don’t remember when. I might have had it installed on a laptop.

I read most of his points and I agree with them…

But I have so much else to worry about, I just can’t get worked up about this.

And I think he is ignoring the firestorm that would ensue if, say, openssh tried to change from using the current directory. There would probably be five forks started immediately to restore the original functionality - and is ssh really adding new features like he claims?

Maybe it could be a config option in the site install (which I thought it already was), but forcing a change to fix what is a minor problem isn’t worth the headache.

I do hate that some of those package systems install software into home. It inflates my backups dramatically and unnecessarily. I use opt for that sort of thing instead. For example, my immich docker install is in /opt.

Good luck!

Well how did it go?

It’s a pure Linux system now! No GNU!

Mine decided to randomly start rebooting about a year ago. :( Tried everything I could think of to get it to work normally, but nothing helped. I couldn’t rely on it, so I had to replace it. Like you, I hadn’t planned to replace it any time soon.

In the US, if you don’t have the loyalty card, you’re paying more for groceries. For the stores we use, any sale prices are contingent upon using the loyalty card. This can add up to $5-$10 per order.

I’m not clear what you’ve done here, but I’ve never played with the purge command. I take it you removed a lot of basic packages. How did it happen? Wildcards?

Project 2025 was ready this time. The Heritage goons weren’t ready in 2016.

As a somewhat regular visitor to the Kennedy Center, since my wife is a huge theater nerd, I’ll just add that it feels open to all. We dress up for the shows we see, but I also see people in jeans and t-shirts, and no one cares. It’s about the performance.

We just saw Shmigadoon there a few weeks ago, and we went to a John Oliver show back in December. I’ve seen numerous other shows there, like Wicked, Book of Mormon, Shear Madness, Ain’t Too Proud (twice!), Million Dollar Quartet, Spamalot, and Phantom of the Opera… And those are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head. And my wife and a friend of hers had season tickets, so they’ve seen a ton more shows.

We’re really saddened by this development. I can only hope the Center survives. It’s a cultural institution.

The only good news is that DC and Baltimore have a bunch of other excellent theaters, like Ford’s, the Hippodrome, National, etc.

Wait, if there’s no abortion ban, why the registry?
