One might say they are a bit Trash-E.

Good thing I am a patient gamer.

Absolutely. Enterprise license and MSDN was expensive and a pain in the ass. Once we dropped support for Microsoft as a whole and transitioned to Google Apps (early adopters) everything became easy. OSX never broke, although the hardware could be problematic at times. The main reason most of us started transitioning to Linux from Mac was Apple’s hardware choices. That said, I have a MBP M3 Max for music and graphics and that Apple silicone is absolutely beastly.

He should have made it clear that he would not seek a second term. Instead he pulled a RBG (she refused to retire when Obama asked her). We are now basically four months from election day and that ship has sailed. All we can do is vote D no matter what. Don’t confuse me doing what must be done with pride and “patting myself on the back”. His ego fucked us and now we have to deal with the mess…again. Thankfully, with the exception of their support for Israel’s genocidal campaign, his administration has been quite competent.

All of our laptops are either Mac or Linux. Eight or ten years ago it was all Mac but now it’s mostly Linux. Ultimately, clients that have closed Windows ecosystems always provide us with laptops or a jump station to connect to. So if they are going to do that anyway, there was no need for us to Windows internally.

This is Lemmy after all.

If you do not vote, or vote for anyone other than whatever Democrat is on the ticket, Palestinian will be fully wiped out or forced to live in an open air prison the size of a postage stamp, Ukraine will be steam rolled over, Americans who are not straight, white and faux-Christian will be third tier citizens, and American democracy will be dead, forever. Go sell your bullshit to someone else. I have seen too much shit to fall for such a weak and obvious maneuver.

Don’t vote for the man, vote for the administration. The Trump administration will be evil incarnate and absolutely the end American democracy.

Duh

Me, a Gen-X’r in tech since the mid-90s.

Existence is pain.

They were one year apart. I used “strain” incorrectly when what I was trying to say is that I never got what we then called hemorrhagic dengue. This was back in the 80’s and I have Thankfully never had to think about Dengue again…until now.

I managed to avoid the hemorrhagic strain both times. Fuck that noise.

LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) is a wonderful self-hosting platform.

ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

I’ve had Dengue, twice. 2/10, would not recommend.

…the French, in principle, rarely distinguish between fact and impression.

The author comes out swinging and still manages to bore quickly.
