To stop smoking is a tough road to walk for anyone. I say stop, not quit, because I’m not sure the urge ever leaves you. Been 25 years for me, and just typing this makes me want a cigarette. At least a heroin addict can’t buy a fix at the nearest 7-11.

Always remember, when Margarine Taylor-Greene attempted to oust Mike Johnson, it was Hakeem Jeffries and the Democrats who came to his rescue.

IBM will offer his kids RedHst board membership and a pile of stock.

People seem to be deluded into thinking the Democratic Party is a leftist or centrist organization. It is a rightwing corporate party riddled with racist, bigoted members. Look no further than the current leadership’s anti-Mumdani, islamophobic rhetoric as proof they will throw anyone under the bus.

Short term, my next phone will have Harmony NextOS installed. I’d rather give my data to China than the US and 5-Eyes.

Fire. No matter the fuel or the method, it still creates heat.

My fear is they will decide, at some point, to toss the GPL in the toilet because of “national security.”

While I’m glad to see M$ Office being replaced with LibreOffice, I hope the governments and companies doing so, also channel funds into development.

This will date me, but I first developed a hatred for Windoze when they used their monopoly power and political payoffs to illegally crush Netscape. I switched to Linux in 2003 and never looked back.

It’s not complete until there is a cat napping on the keyboard.

Sounds like those people who like GNOME but dislike systemd have a choice to make. Most GNOME end users, like me, have no idea what the function of systemd actually is or why we should be concerned, and I’ve been using GNU-Linux for over 20 years. I’m glad there are people much more computer literate than me viewing it as a problem and searching for solutions.

I’m still waiting on a Chuck Schumer/Hakeem Jeffries episode.

You just know they will either take an oath to defend the Tangerine Torquemada or lose their command.

M$ is switching to defense and surveillance software. Once they failed to force their crap OS into the phone market, they knew their monopoly days were numbered on the PC. They are hoping to lock in devs on GitHub, but it looks like that might backfire with their overt push for CoPilot use.

Luckily, I live in neither.

Isn’t capitalist London the most surveilled city in the world?

Then what would be the point of using an atomic version?

Call me a Luddite, but I want to retain control over my updates and upgrades. I fear the day that Fedora becomes all atomic, all the time, which I can’t help but think is in the cards

A US family moving into their new tent after a flood destroyed their old home. Nothing is free.
