So, if you're manacled to but need to work on servers all day, Windows 10 WSL is a big step up from the previous morass but it's certainly got a long way to go before it reaches the level of sophistication, integration and productivity you get with at least IMO.

"In order to make any meaningful progress, we must at least agree that the Googles and the Facebooks of the world are not forces for good. On the contrary, they are threats to our human rights and democracy. We must at least agree that they are not our partners, sponsors, and friends, but our adversaries. Even today, we are not at this point. Even today, institutions that purport to advocate for human rights and democracy feature Google and Facebook as partners and sponsors."

A really good example of that was the Personal Democracy Forum earlier in the year, sponsored by those companies and promanently fearuring Google and Facebook speakers. It's hard to discuss what democracy means, or should become, in the internet era if Facebook is dominating the narrative.

@Elizafox

Mostly because common ground gets smaller if you don't do stuff together regularily.
OR: the main focus of your life has shifted apart.

@Elizafox because the second you try to become a better person is the second you tend to lose your old friends that are too stuck in their own ways.

"You changed!" Etc.

@feoh  the S31 is the best new IoT plug around.  I put espurna (https://github.com/xoseperez/espurna) on it and then control it with HomeAssistant via MQTT.

Platform DOES matter. I can have endless discussions on here with all kinds of people but for some reason seems to amplify the most strident voices. Downright unpleasant at best. Wish all my friends would come here so I could tac nuke my account from orbit :) (It's the only way to be sure.)

"Patriotism taken too far is fanaticism." Captain freaking America, ladies and gentlemen.

This is one of my favorite things on the web ever - it's the perfect "I want to listen to something in the background while I concentrate. Something interesting but NOT distracting" site :)

They have versions for LA and other cities as well. Check it out!

Something I have always found frustrating about derived distros: The default package set includes NOTHING - but if you're stupid enough to add EPEL *everything* goes to shit in very short order. Whiskey tango foxtrot people? is this REALLY that hard?

Article 13 passed?

That's the link tax, right?

I guess it's time to become a credible news source (again) rather than just linking to them.

(or, to put it another way, time to schedule a writers meeting!)

Just got back from Colloquium (Basically Masonic book club) at my lodge. God it feels great having the opportunity to hash out ideas with a room full of crazy smart people!

@jjg Nothing would make me happier than presenting a credible free and open alternative to Facebook/Google/Apple/Microsoft domination, by any means available on any front. General purpose personal computing for knowledge workers will continue to be a relevant field and will only increase in importance. We can't own the produce if we don't own the means, and the means will be almost 100% virtual.

Pursuant to my previous editor question - I've been using lately and am SUPER impressed with it! It fixes all the shortcomings that caused me to wander into for a few years. Real syntax aware completion, asynchronous process control, and a gorgeous architecture that just makes you want to hack on it :)

Kind of a sad statement on our modern internet. Today I opened up port 80 on the throw-away instance I use like a blob of play-doh - and was dismayed but not at all surprised to watch the attackers swarm like a hill of ants that had just been kicked over. We're well past the era of destructive kiddies and their scripts - these are automated attack bots looking for machines to own. Mankind's penchant for destroying itself in microcosm?
