never been there, have ya?

that is one of the perks of living ‘up north’… no bugs outside in the winter.

we learned something called personal shorthand in school (1980s). it was a unit in a required class in high school. i wish they would’ve done it in junior high instead, though. no glyphs, just regular letters. i still use bits and pieces of it decades later.

a truly unpopular opinion. i take it you don’t hail from inland alaska or florida.

i have a neighbor that keeps her old answering machine because her late-husband’s voice is on it. she has no home videos or anything else… just a few snapshots and that answering machine.

i vaguely remember him. played outfield for the giants and astros, right?

“that’s ok. they were never an intended user base, they’re the targets.”
--some ceo, somewhere. probably.

so these crazy prices i hear about being implemented (like at github) should actually be at least 10x higher?

he’s stayed ‘busy’ since his sbtb days, just not in anything really all that noteworthy.

probably like the ones mentioned here rolling out in d.c.:

phone resolution is only 240x320. do it again at 1600x1200 (what my 19in trinitron from that era runs at), or even just 1024x768.

anyone who cares about their reputation and career will stay far away from the liar-in-chief and his ‘events’

both. “gotta catch 'em all”

when did diaper-boy start eating from taco bell instead of mcdonalds?

are they gonna have ‘security’ at each one to make sure only those of the ‘correct’ gender uses them?

not “motorola” (as in the mobile phone company that’s now part of lenovo, or the old cable box/modem company which is owned by arris), but rather a licensee of the name and trademarks for certain networking products… “premier logitech” (which has nothing to do with the computer peripherals company), which is owned by one of those buyout/“investment” firms “tide rock”.

i wouldn’t expect a thing out of them, especially support for gear designed, made or sold prior to tide rock’s ownership (acquired in 2024).

there is one other force that can make him shut up. one that has been absent for far too long.

i don’t like tiling wm, and can’t stand seemingly random placement a linux d.e. usually gives (if not just centering everything every time).

i use the kwin script for ‘remember window positions’ to get behaviour similar to windows. gnome has something similar, too (‘smart auto move ng’). so now a window for a program will open right back up the same size and in the same spot next time you run it.

plasma mobile works on more than just handhelds, and you’ll find it in fedora and debian repos (among others, i’m sure).

at a minimum: dash to panel (or dash to dock, whatever the preference is), arc menu (which is pretty slick), and ding (desktop icons, if wanted) would do the trick.
