"It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail." - Gore Vidal

I dunno, 100x better? I mean, maybe like 2.5x better. Let's not get carried away. This still fucking sucks.

My favorite thing I've heard this news cycle is that Karoline Leavitt was on that plane. lol

The truth is since returning to the White House after the birth of my daughter, I have felt in my heart that I cannot be the best mom my two young children deserve while devoting the constant time, energy, and attention required of the White House Press Secretary

So we can be certain that's not the reason.

hops just have to be closer.

It doesn't take much of a leap of imagination to see a torrent-like system utilizing all available devices within earshot to spread the bandwidth around to realize a pretty fast system available nearly everywhere in dense urban areas and slower (but ubiquitous) coverage the more rural you get. Obviously we're far away from that now, but this definitely seems like the future to me.

I believe this stuff is going to be huge. Reticulum, Lora, Meshtastic all bit players now in a drama that has yet to get a finished script. It will start out as a supplement to the Internet, allowing you connectivity even when your Internet falters and as it becomes more ubiquitous, it will be increasingly used/usable and increasingly important. It can't be shut down, it can't be controlled. A country would literally have to ban radio signals of any kind in order to shut it down. It's free. Buy the hardware, use the network, because you are the network. I love this.

haha Republicans are such morons. They voted for a health care industry executive as their "standard bearer" because of course they did. Not that this shitbird would have been better, just sayin'.

Probably better to be able to just hide your plate at will.

Except insurance has basically decided it doesn't need to actually pay for the most part.

I'm in the "been working with Linux since the 90s" gang so I call vim vi and nano pico and when I started there was a coolness factor to be considered. I was incredibly uncool so I used whatever I wanted, including pico - I mean you used pine for email back in the day and the interface was nearly identical, so whatever.

But I did want to be at least a tiny bit cooler, so I learned vi in a fairly rudimentary fashion. I can edit, jump, delete, search, replace, copy and paste - oh, and I can exit. I've spent so much time using vi, that my brain doesn't even have to think about exiting, not even whether I want to write or not. It just happens like second nature. It's actually gotten to where nano seems unduly burdensome to me.

But really, I prefer an IDE for programming. CLI editors will always be for configuration files and shell scripts to me.

They need to be taxed 100% until they are no longer billionaires (or, even better, run out of the country because they want to dodge said taxes). Any country that values its autonomy better take fucking heed.

These review services should create a score based on your reviews that you have to maintain. In a 5-star system, that would be a 3. If the sum of all the stars you have awarded divided by the number of reviews you have published falls below 3, then you can only submit reviews that will bring that score up, until it is back to 3, then you can do whatever you want again. This will encourage users to think more carefully about shit they use that they like as much as shit the use that they don't like and that works better for everybody.

Say what again! I dare you. I double dare you motherfucker, say what one more goddamn time!
