It's weird how the rules are different between party chitchat and media publications.

I'd love to see the Build A PC bot used here to synch posts from over there in addition to new content from lemmies.

buddies with politicians on both sides of the aisle.

You managed to "both sides" a situation where one of two parties primarily deals in objectively fake news. You made a point, but was it the one you wanted?

In the army, when on sentry - no light, no noise, no fire - we'd open the pack of instant, swish it around with a mouthful of water, swallow through the regret. Not an LFS user, though.

'belligerent' attitude towards SPCA, no remorse for suffering dogs fined $6K

First the dogs are suffering and THEN they're hit with a fine?

Learn how the American Ghost Comma (missing trailing delimiter) makes your headlines sound dumb.

Did that as a work project on Unix. My peer had a similar porting project.

I thought I was screwed: 20-year-old c-based backup tool. His was easy: this perl web app is installing on a new box because its old one is being lifecycled.

Actual: after 3 weeks of dependency hell he tossed it all and rewrote the thing in c from scratch overnight. My c project was make;make-install with no errors.

I think it's been recompiled a few times since then, without any code changes.

Apt is a good call. It predates yum, which itself predates yumv2-oops-dnf, and that beautiful porting gift from the Brazilian folks is still working hard at RPM management faster and more consistently than yum v1/v2 ever will.

Try PCLinuxOS (conectiva's great-grandchild) - its template creation is horrible as they've forgotten how to anaconda, but otherwise it's amazing.

Unix: the version of the OS that built it is still supported (solaris 10 may have a 22-year support window, and counting).

It's neat we have something else to talk about other than

• fracking fracking
• sad state of '999 year leased' railway
• reinstating bridge tolls so we can pay for stuff
• reinstating MSP premiums so we can get surgeries ever
• how Mike Farnworth is now the Police Commissioner of Surrey; and maybe mayor

But that's why we have a captive audience and an agenda.

So the only things fast-tracked are cheesy low-boy matchstick wood-framed firetraps?

lockdown

You spell "quarantine" funny

one of those wink-wink deals between government and pharmaceutical industry

I love these conspiracy claims; it's as if there's a secret meeting and completely hushed agreement held among people who can't even keep a land deal secret or decide that gay people are still people and keep it that way.

Software has always been Microsoft's superpower

You mean buying software, right?

Yeah . Because Hamas apparently were treating prisoners humanely.

I can see why humane treatment of prisoners and outsiders can seem crazy to some countries, but it is a rule of war.

Aw hell, just add it to the list of ignored rules.

25 years ago I bought an IKEA printer cart to hold a computer tower and a UPS and stuff. It was like a billy line, so it was particle-board (aka beaver chow) but at least 20-odd years ago it wasn't the hollow-core shit like so much of their stuff. I could screw in a mount for a switch and stuff.

Fast forward 25 years. I've moved-house 10 times, three of them coast-to-coast moves, and this thing is festooned with old cable-tie mounts, two switches (hp1810 and er-x) some test-rig APs for a project, a work laptop on top and its 4th APC unit (movers beat the hell out of them).

Good as new. I'm amazed that the beaver-chow actually held together, but I've kept it safe from its kryptonite: water. I've rolled it out and around to work on a tower on the top as a workbench l, and I've loaded server after server into it as they lifecycle out.

Barring calamity, I could bequeath this fucker.

Politicians have straight up said it’s a reason they are against abortion…

But we agree it's only safe abortions they're blocking, right?

Are there plans for a desktop client?

Anybody with a browser is going to be able to use Sunbird. The messages will synchronize. A big challenge has been synchronizing without them storing the data but we got it right. The web app will synchronize with the Sunbird app. Bottom line... Got a browser? You will be able to use Sunbird.

They already can go to hell.

The frantic fumbling to find whichever bloody tab on which bloody window is making the chime is really something I can do without. And when I DO ignore it, I'm somehow at fault.

Any half decent infosec team would immediately

As the fiery tendrils of the celestial catastrophe engulfed the world, humanity found itself cast back to the primordial embrace of the Stone Age. The once towering achievements of civilization crumbled into dust, leaving survivors to navigate a world stripped of its technological marvels. In this new epoch, where the remnants of mankind struggled to eke out an existence, a daring expedition was conceived in the sun-scorched lands of Argentina. A ragtag crew, armed with little more than salvaged tools and an unyielding spirit, prepared to embark on a perilous voyage across the treacherous seas to scour the mysterious ice-clad wilderness of Antarctica and the riches entombed on the base therein. Their mission: to uncover forgotten secrets, salvage survival, and reclaim a semblance of the ingenuity that once defined their species. On the timeworn deck of a makeshift sailing ship, the brave explorers cast off into the unknown, setting forth on a journey that would either revive the flame of human innovation or be swallowed by the icy abyss of a desolate world.

The rich part seems to be in debate. The 'fat', 'old', 'white' part is confirmed by his GoP membership.
