If you’d like to understand the electoral college better, I highly recommend reading Heather Cox Richardson’s blog post this week. She is a historian that reflects on current events through the lens of history:

Kahn is the most important person in government right now! Firing her would be a huge disappointment.
NASA’s biggest issue over the last 35 years is that it became a political target. It is really hard to do long term design when your mission changes every 4 years along with a different budget. NASA should have a budget that is only reapproved every 30 years and should not have to worry about outside influence from a president dictating its mission.
It seems like it is time to nationalize Boeing.
I still play a lot of need for speed underground on my ps2.
I’ll also always love Carmageddon 2. So much fun and a soundtrack full of Iron Maiden!
Grimm Fandango (one of the best games ever made) along with Myst and Riven also run on Scummvm!
Stille Volk’s cover of Iron Maiden’s To Tame A Land:
I’m all for protesting the government and their actions. But I am a bit torn on this.
It’s like being a US tourist while Trump is in office and being denied everything because you are associated with you government.
I hate it too. But I am not my government.
Cdparanoia to make sure I get a good rip. Then flacenc to convert to flac. Then Picard to tag and organize it.
Windows 95 crashing for the 5th time that day corrupting another high school paper.
I knew nothing about Linux, but bought a red hat 6 cd and installed it. I never dual booted or ever went back.
This was in the day of getting a modem that actually worked on Linux was a PITA as everything had turned into software based winmodems. And it wasn’t like you could just order one online. You had better have hoped Best Buy/circuit city/compusa had something.
And don’t change their goals every 4-8 years. It is hard to accomplish a 10 year project if you can’t guarantee you’ll still be working on it in 10 years.
Lindows. I can’t believe it still exists in some form…
I mean Christopher Lee did put out metal albums…
This is sad. I still prefer xorg over Wayland. I have so many small customizations that depend on devilspie, wnck, and other tools that don’t have a complete Wayland replacement yet.
Because some intercity buses (Megabus) don’t want to pay for their own stations or even pay to use and existing intermodal facility.
I also have a framework 13. It has been great! I run the latest fedora and everything works great out of the box.
My only annoyance is fedora disable hibernate by default and now that s2idle is the default instead of s3, too much battery is used while sleeping. That said, it isn’t difficult to enable s3 and hibernate.
I use s3 deep sleep which then hibernates after and hour. Works great for me as I don’t do work on my personal laptop so I’m only using it on evenings and weekends.
I recommend reading this article “I Went to 50 Different Dentists and Almost All of Them Gave Me a Different Diagnosis”:
Lemmy and the fediverse is not about free speech and democratizing a platform, it is about eliminating central authority.
Lemmy.world can enforce whatever stupid rules they want on their instance and their communities. But none of that stops you from running your own instance and a community on your instance where you can enforce your rules.
