Yep. I walk faster than anyone I know. I'm trying to be better about letting the other walker(s) lead so I can be in on whatever conversation they're having.

We won't know the winner til Thurs eve or Friday. My money is on Friday.

I hope Gen Z shows up. I don't buy into poll results.

Which is exactly why the US is looking at a sale / ban scenario. I doubt it'll ever actually happen.

[–] Charlatan@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

No argument on US companies not being much better. At least there's some paperwork that gets in the way.

I suggest you read the article, specifically the section "Get flexible with your thinking." :) A Trump win, while disturbing, has a lot of possible outcomes.

No it's not. It's because it, like other Chinese companies, are at risk of being browbeaten by their government into providing whatever information they have on American users to use as they wish. One can easily argue what kind of risk that actually poses, but that's why they're trying to ban it. Unless you have some sort of proof....

I think you elude to it, but just to clarify...VC's and companies have been buying homes like crazy, thus reducing an already anemic inventory.

Totally agree on the opinion section. I think if they want to they can opine on their candidate of choice, but I don't see it as a necessity.

Clearly I can't read....

True. I guess I can't read... Editorials are open season.

You have a point, but you need to not care about some else's bullshit opinion. You don't need to explain yourself. Save your dough and you'll have money for whatever suits you down the road.

Paying cash for big items like cars isn't always the best idea, but less debt never hurts.

I gotta be honest... I don't think news papers should officially endorse a candidate. Report on the issues accurately and call it a day. It reduces the perception of bias.

 

One of the few things that differentiates the major distros is the package manager. I've been running void on my laptop for the last 3 years and love it. XBPS is super fast and easy to use. It has never left me with a broken system either. That said, I've got the itch to switch.

I am looking at rolling / up to date distros. I'm inclined to use CLI when available.

I've been considering Opensuse, but last time I used zypper it was painfully slow. Has it gotten any better?

I was thinking of trying Alpine, how is APK?

Not interested in *butu, but apt seemed okay.

What's your favorite and how does it behave?
