I’ve used Brave in the past, and it never showed me crypto prices at any time. But I did make sure all the that crap was turned off.

Windows and Mac only sucks though.

No man knows what she means.

So is eating vegetables. In order for you to live, something has to die.

I’m not knocking your veganism. I fully support your choices. But I harbor no illusions that all life requires death to survive. And much of that death is actively done by all creatures.

Nano is good for quick things and I rather like it. And I’ve been using VIM for years.

Flatseal, flat sweep, and warehouse will manage all your flatpaks as you see fit. And Gear Lever for managing all your appImages.

Most people do like flatpaks, I use them because I use Kinonite and Atomic Budgie, but there are those people that don’t like them or any other 3rd party universal packaging format. it’s kind of a Luddite attitude if you ask me.

That is what freedom is about. Anyone can choose to walk their own path to hell as they see fit. Otherwise you just end up with Windows all over again.

The rate at which he went through French Courtesans alone would have been enough.

Ahhh, dirty old Ben! He knew a thing or two about seduction and sex. And he never let age get in the way of a good time.

It was some Tool’s fault though.

I would rather stand a type an entire program into mill or lathe by hand than ever go back to something like that.

If you have never assigned a drive to F: or G:, how can you even say you lived?

I’m glad my punch tape drive is long gone. We used a paper punch tape reel to reel on a garden cart to wheel around the shop floor to load CNC programs onto CNC mills. Often with hand written gcode. Gods, I hated that thing. Floppies were far faster and far more reliable.

Ahhh yes. Sitting there drinking tea and flippin’ floppies for half an hour or even longer. And there was always that one that would read well.

I think I still have a few 3 1/2" and even 5 1/4" around here somewhere. I even had a 120mb Superdisk drive. I bought it used and got 4 or 5 years of use from it. It could hold 1000’s of CNC programs and even CAD drawings.

***Great Googlely Moogely! You can still get Super disks on eBay!

Does FreeDoom count? It’s as close to the original as I can get anymore.

Even along with public support, revolutions need their violent wing. MLK wouldn’t have been as nearly successful without the Black Panthers visibly totin’ guns on the 5 O’Clock news. It made MLK look very reasonable to deal with.

Gandhi, the modern Icon of peaceful protest winning the day, had armed rebellions popping up behind him. The Indian’s had nearly a 100 year history of violence against the British. And an exhausted Great Britain just wanting to get out of the colonial business didn’t hurt either.

When facing despots and fascists, there needs to be people willing to kill and die for the cause of freedom. We have not reached that point yet.

Yep. Mine too. At this point it’s the best modern take on Gnome 2.

I spent years running Ubuntu. I’ve typed ‘sudo apt-get install’ so many times I got carpel fingernail from doing it. ‘sudo dnf install’ is less typing and could have saved my fingernails. Now I use Kinonite and have all updates set to automatic and I very seldom even need to do anything at all.

Yes, I’m old, lazy, and can’t be bothered anymore. Why do you ask? ;)
