The more we get, the better it becomes. Trying to just change the whole system at once is just an excuse for not making the small changes that move the needle.

My Linux journey was pre XP, I was still in 98Se edition and my Linux disk didn’t have a working GUI on it.

These people have always been bad. Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, Ford, all of them had their issues. The big difference between then and now is the information we have access to. These leaders are more or less forced to live a very public life. We can find all sorts of articles and investigative journalism reports about Elon actually having family money. And when you are rich enough to control the few newspapers, the stories are going to put you in a very good light.

My honest recommendation is dd It works, it does it’s job, and doesn’t need to many bells and whistles. My only complaint is that there isn’t an easy way to show progress. But as a background command, it works.

Who else should pay them?

There once was a time when configs were not in a universal place like .config. I have terrible memories of trying to fix a gnome setting gone wrong and having to search several files in four different places and just having to firebomb everything.

I used to joke with my niece that my programming job was just me staring at screens and meetings all day. She didn’t believe me until she got to shadow me one day and got super bored.

Which is cheaper, switch out manufacturing processes and change the whole industry, or tell the consumer in a commercial that it’s all on them?

I have so many, but today I was listening to the radio and was really getting into Elton John’s “I’m Still Standing”, Heart’s “Crazy On You”, and Peter Schilling’s “Major Tom”. It was truly a good day on the radio.

Didn’t expect that.

I’m going to second this one. I volunteer for an air museum and it’s folks from late 30s and up.

Edit: accidentally submitted before I was done typing

I once mistyped and didn’t realize until it was done that I wrote a Fedora ISO to the home partition. I didn’t even realize what I did until everything was done and wiped out.

I usually don’t when it’s just for me. But if I’m feeding more, it can be better with more people. But not often do I have to feed more than three and it makes sense.

Check out Tailscale. They have 20 machine limit on the free plan. It runs on wireguard and is pretty secure.

:wa like a boss

My daily driver is Sway on Arch. I’ll help shout out the glory of this setup.

If the config file is well documented, you don’t need to worry too much about that bus. And it isn’t several user accounts, it’s a computer that needs to be accessible to nearly everybody. Like said in other comments, a script to destroy everything on logout, and then add a configuration to logout on idle.

Uncle Buck

When I was young, my mom told me that Dad went to work too make money. In my head, I had envisioned him going to an office and running machines that made coins. Imagine my disappointment when I got to visit him at work and there were no coin making machines.

I forgot, nothing is ever done for the consumer.
