I don’t get the cough like it was some secret that was openly known or should be hidden?

Truly, email is (thankfully) mostly unspoiled as a protocol since it’s beginning. Other than minor improvements and additions like HTML and spam filters and the like, anyone can host an email service and interface with anyone else on the Internet with the same protocol.

F-that! Take pride… Mint is ridiculously good. Well managed, stable, “just works” and yet has all the capabilities you want, including auto-running near the edge for current kernels (backed down to stable) without doing jack. You can run at the bleeding edge if you want to manage it yourself.

And for any haters - here’s my take: I’ve been working with Unix for 30+ years, I installed Slackware off of floppies when 16MB of RAM was god-like. I have built, compiled and managed nearly every distro at some point certainly the upstream giants. I’ve been there for the birth of all of them. I’ve also professionally worked on AIX, SunOS/Solaris, HPUX. Yes there’s a lot of fun in maintaining and running things to your satisfaction, but when you hit a certain inflection point of balancing your real life and maintaining distros across multiple machines and decide “This is the way” - Mint just fits the bill on so many levels.

Mint is the bomb and I’m done pretending. Fight me (not you, OP, you’re cool)

The rare Office Space paraphrase joke. I can only assume the downvotes haven’t got a clue. NICE.

Not an excuse… but unironically this is why so many rural States are Red. Lack of opportunity and the only hope is in religion. Addressing very real existential erosion of their livelihoods and economic fears would go a long way toward avoiding a civil war. Which another Trump presidency might just bring about…to the Russian’s joy, having set the wheels in motion decades ago.

Huge swaths of companies have ditched VMWare entirely due to their enshitification. Anyone still licesning already has a plan to transion away. I’ve only heard of extreme corner cases staying because whatever it was supporting was end of life anyway. Fuck em.

Forever = until our funding dries up and we have to be profitable

That book? It’s an advertisement…

If this was photoshopped with him in a jean jacket it would be… chef’s kiss.

let’s not kink shame…

If it’s under warranty, they almost certainly cannot deny the claim for this or really many bullshit reasons manufacturers say like removing a “warranty void” sticker - which is still covered. You can sue in small claims. Check out the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act should you need to prove your point.

The main drawback is that you have to live in Nebraska

To be fair, it will also get stains out of clothes.

I’ve got.some bad news for you…

I’m right there with you. And finding addresses is useless… I have used magicearth for over a year and it’s solid. Not open source but respectful privacy policy

Thanks for posting - I didn’t know this existed.

We are getting very close to approval of Melanoma vaccines. https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/14/health/moderna-merck-melanoma-vaccine-immunotherapy/index.html

For those not aware, Melanomas are not only one of the deadliest and most common cancers, it isn’t really very treatable with chemotherapies or radiation. And yes, Fuck cancer - we’re coming for you, bitch!
