I was invited to attend the movie with a group. Before the movie started I handed out tiny umbrellas to everyone. You know, just in case someone tried to drop an anvil on their head.

"There are a limited number of signs."

Wait, what's the gag?
I've been using FVWM since about 1996. First on Linux (Slackware), and now on FreeBSD.

Now all that's left for them to do is make a nice open-source replacement for CDE, with Motif widgets. Then we can finally have a real unix-like workstation.

Of course they're going to behave this way. People forget that cops are just 'D' students with guns.

It's like how if you or I commit a crime we'll end up in prison, but if a politician commits the same crime (or worse) nothing happens.

The internet? Is that thing still around?

It's unconscionable that a non-profit entity with a CTO making nearly $180k / year failed to plan for this. He needs to be fired right now. Having only a single copy of your data, managed by someone else? Further, when Nine PBS went to renew their contract with OSS and failed to get a response -- for over a month -- knowing that they would lose access to their data if the contract was not renewed, he chose to do nothing instead of instantly start downloading all of the data, still having access to the data at that time.

Louis Rossmann did a video digging into this. Nine PBS's CEO makes $300k / year, and the rest of the C-suite makes good 6-figure incomes, too. They also showed significant profit on investment income for four of the last five years. This was investment income, not even the donations they received. Yet they didn't take even a fraction of a percent of that income to buy a NAS and create even one local copy of their data. They saw this slow-motion disaster coming and just let it happen, and then went and cried to a judge about it.

Glad to help. I've had many vaccines, but none of the covid ones. I've also never been tested for covid, even when they were pressuring people to go get tested even if you feel fine because one of the biggest symptoms of this super deadly disease is that you feel just find and have no symptoms. So now I'm about to enter my sixth winter of "severe illness and death."
Meanwhile, of the people in my life who all took the new covid vaccines:
* One uncle, who's cancer had been in remission for years, suddenly had it come roaring back, stage four, and was dead within months.
* My father who was also a cancer survivor developed a new cancer that took his life.
* My mother who had never had heart issues suddenly started having all sorts of heart problems that have landed her in the hospital multiple times. She's said she will no longer take any more of the shots.
* My sister had had some bad reactions and has also said she will no longer take any more of the shots. Interestingly, both she and my mother hassled my brother-in-law for not taking the shots, and he's been just fine.
* A co-worker's wife has developed all sorts of mysterious health issues that has destroyed her quality of life. Doctors are unable to figure out what is wrong with her, and she works in a hospital.
* My neighbor's daughter, a young gal, had a miscarriage.
* Another young gal I know also had a miscarriage and has developed some auto-immune disease that doctors can't quite figure out along with liver, pancreas, and gall bladder issues and is now scheduled to have her gall bladder removed. It's affected her so much it's limited how much she can work. (This gal lined up for every booster.)
* Another co-worker has developed multiple heart issues.

But being a modern, progressive person, I declined to take the Trump vaccine. When they rolled out and told me I was eligible for it, I told them that to atone for my white, male, straight privilege, I'd like to donate my doses to a non-binary person of color.

No, no.... It says "about" $500,000/month. So "about" five customers. Some people might say exactly five customers, bu sometimes you don't want to be that specific. So, about five customers.

Who even uses LinkedIn? I've been in the workforce in a technical role for 33 years and have not once used it. A couple of times that I clicked on a link to someone's LinkedIn profile, it wouldn't show me anything but a nag screen telling me to log in. Nope.

Do I know how? Yes. Am I proficient with one? No.

I have about 10 minutes of experience driving manual transmission vehicles spread over two vehicles, both tractors. Both were when I was visiting friends and they said "Hey, want to try it?"

So if I got put into a car with one I could probably make it work, but I wouldn't be proficient with it and wouldn't feel comfortable with it, at least not at first.

I also "know how" to shift a Super 10, but will probably never have the opportunity to actually try it.

My credit union pushed an update to its web site some months ago that caused it to no longer work with Firefox.

There's also a credit card company that won't let me sign in when they see I'm running Firefox on FreeBSD, but it's a superficial check on their end -- If I use a user agent switcher plug-in and make them think I'm using Edge on Windows it'll let me sign in with no problems.

When I run into a problem web site with Firefox I'll temporarily turn off uBlock Origin, but that almost never helps.

Water and electric companies, too. "Water plan fee", etc. Heck, my electric bill is now two pages due to all the add-on fees, and all the taxes on those fees that are also broken out to separate lines.
