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.

US Department if War announces drone strikes against terrorist bunkers built beneath seed stores. Joint forces of the Cargill and Monsanto agro-forces begin wide scale field burning to save the people of Kenya from non-GMO seeds.

How can we take him seriously, he’s only a millionaire? Barely above muddle class.

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.

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

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.

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

Top 10 websites?

In the US; a gun, 2 months of water, 6 weeks of internet, 2 weeks of electricity, 10 days of groceries, 6 days of health insurance, or 3 days of rent. Or, you can buy 5 cases of beer.

My Fedora PC was 8 years old so the wife bought me a new box for my birthday. I loaded Debian on a whim and now I’m too lazy to switch to Fedora. The laptop has always been my experimental machine where I try different distros. The wife first started her Linux journey with PCLOS/KDE and sees no reason to switch.

Been using Linux for 20+ years, and I’ve found it is the Desktop Environment that matters the most to me. It is the part with which I have daily contact. I have a PC running Debian, another running Fedora, a laptop with openSUSE, all with the same DE. My wife runs PCLOS with a different DE on her laptop, so I instantly revert to the CL rather than spend time searching for stuff.

Sounds like Reuters is the media spreading propaganda to get people behind internet age restriction. The story contains a “child-like” elderly man then adds META’s cavalier attitude to AI and children tangent. I smell a rat. I expect more and more stories to pop up followed by Congress declaring they “must save the children” with a UK-like age restriction surveillance bill.

I’d like a definition of “pro-Russia” and “pro-China.” Does crediting other countries for any progress, while your own country goose steps towards fascism, considered a “pro” stance? Russia and China are reacting to attacks from the West.
