I will argue against strict adherence to this statement. Gnome applications written to the project guidelines have become very fine, since the introduction of GTK-4 and libadwaita. I prefer many of these to their equivalents on MacOS.

It's true that most of these fall into a general category of "utilities", and that Windows enjoys a broader ecosystem driven by commercial incentive. But Windows programs are hardly "better' for this, and the widely varied usability is generally sub-par compared to level that's become norm for Gnome/Adwaita software.

Some customers may not be able to move their data off-prem without violating existing contracts or the law.

I guess they will have to go with Office 2024 LTSC or go non-Microsoft. Even that will go unsupported in 2029.

A bully club, a taser, a pepper-spray gun, or even just a guard who is much bigger and stronger than any unarmed attacker* is better than an unarmed guard who is not strong enough to take down the attacker with brute strength or special skills.

* bonus if the guard knows how to fight well

You DO need security. Well-paid, well-screened, and where appropriate well-armed guards will do the trick just fine.

They aren't cheap though.

I don't know if you count Tiktok, 4-chan and similar forums, Discord's many forums and forums using similar technologies, and other web-accessible-places that are more-social-media-ish, chat-ish, or forum-ish than than-web-ish sites as "web sites" even though they can be accessed through a web browser.

But if you are looking for creativity and don't mind having few or no filters for taste, decorum, common decency, or just plain quality, look in those places. You'll see a lot of quality stuff, but you'll see a lot more things you probably will want to un-see.

Of course, there's always YouTube and other anyone-can-upload video-hosting web sites.

Welcome back!

Betteridge's law of headlines notwithstanding, just about any "yes/no question headline" can be rested as a /. poll, such as:

Are Supershear Earthquakes Even More Dangerous Than We Thought?
1. Yes.
2. No.
3. Maybe.
4. Can you repeat the question?
5. What is this "Supershear Earthquake" of what you speak and how may I invest?
6. What does CowboyNeal say?

Range anxiety is going from one Podunkville to the next with long stretches of nothing in between.

My driving pattern still leaves me vulnerable to range anxiety.

Sure, that's improving every year, but if I had to buy a replacement vehicle today, it would not be pure-electric.

Hopefully things will change by the time I need to replace my current vehicle.

>but today the left/democrats are absolutely fucking bonkers.
>What's a woman? Really? jfc

I see your point, but please tell me you know about people who are biologically intersex, neither wholly male nor wholly female. Conservative estimates suggest about 1 in 5000 people are interesex.

Only 1425 out of presumably over 100 million Americans who identify as Republican? That's a very low number. Maybe it's just the high-profile ones.

To get anything close to a "real" list will take a lot of work and probably a lot of money.

If you are up to the challenge, you can compare public sex-offender lists with those who have voted in party primaries or registered with a political party. You will probably have to pay a copying fee to get the voting data though.

Even this will paint only a partial picture, since some people with partisan leanings can't or don't vote in primaries, and some convicted sex offenders aren't on public sex-offender lists.

It's a sad day when things like this happen.

I'm glad they prevented him from killing himself.

I'm even more glad he didn't intend to murder anyone.

Hopefully, after some psychiatric care, he will send the people who tackled him a thank-you letter and send the people running the conference an apology for what he put them through.

Give me a car that can do all my normal driving from the batteries, then attach a generator (or in my dreams, a fuel cell) that runs on gasoline or deisel so I'm not at the mercy of charging stations.

Wasn't the original Intellivision in the $150-$200 ballpark?

>Aren't actual rents readily available on sites like realtor.com?
Not necessarily.

Those may be the offered rents available today before any discounts, but they may not be the rents existing tenants are paying.
