@angusm@mastodon.social Ahh, then you want Windows 11. It will tell you what you want the OS to do. Further it knows that you really want it to track your activities, even if you tell yourself that you don't. /s

@RowinSpeez@mas.to That last is actually not quite true... At least two servers that I was on did change their platform multiple times and even had adds. But I was able to simply move to different servers without losing the content I wanted to see. @taylorlorenz@mastodon.social

Replying to
@ianrosewrites@scicomm.xyz I can't speak to Oregon, but for Washington voters, if you think your ballot was affected, you can go to https://vote.wa.gov to check the status of your ballot. If your ballot was not marked as received by next Tuesday, you can go to your local polling place and request a provisional ballot.

@realhackhistory@chaos.social While the words are clearly inspired by Arch, that cardboard looks like it was sponsored by Debian.

@galacticstone@mastodon.social I really want to say "I'm Batman" right now. I mean does anyone really want to admit that their name is Mike? Seriously... I mean, yeah it is funny if your last name is Hunt, but otherwise do you really wanna share a name with the speaker of the house, Chump's former VP, and the founder of MyPillow.

@tudor@spacey.space My Google G1 was great. The keys were small, but not too small, and very responsive. @Andres4NY@social.ridetrans.it @foxxtrot@dice.camp @cstross@wandering.shop

@timmy I would love to see that... Maybe have "Jack Burton" play the king of New York and force "David Lo Pan" to act as Chump's version Snake Plissken. /s ps, I know those are characters from another movie, but given how evil Chump is, they kind of fit.

@tojiro Had a friend ask me about this in my weekly D&D game. When I bought my house, it came with an extra 220v outlet in the garage so I was able to do a full charge in a few hours. Additionally, I only used home charging except when I went on long drives (200+ miles in a day) and then I would generally use the free destination chargers or paid chargers as needed.

@anthonywilliams It isn't always about doing something cheaper/faster. It is often about aging out technologies. For example moving from PHP 5 to PHP 7 or moving from MySQL 5 to MySQL 6. Technical debt comes in many flavors and starts as soon as you "release" @malwareminigun @pierstoval

@krupo@infosec.exchange I don't recall the names of the servers where I saw the advertisements, but IIRC, I only ever saw them in the local timelines. Please remember that there are three different timelines you can watch, by default: your home timeline (which is defined by your choices), the federated timeline (which is inter-server toots), and the local timeline (which is toots by people on your server) @RowinSpeez@mas.to @taylorlorenz@mastodon.social

@seanm@infosec.exchange What issues are you having with Slack on Linux please? I ran Slack on Linux (Ubuntu) with KDE / Plasma for about 6 years without issue. Mind you, I had built the workstation as a server first and then added KDE / Plasma so it was a pretty thin system.

@chechar@mastodon.social That Cloudflare pillar looks amazingly stable, perhaps make it look a little scrawnier or gouge out a notch near the bottom
