I need to remind you that only people from USA can vote in the USA elections and that not everyone you’ll find online is from USA. Have a good day.

I was addressing my fellow Canadians, because the Canadian election is today. Ironically, it seems you assumed I was an American talking about the USA.

Trump’s making the White House as ugly as the people within it.

Vote!

Edit: I’m addressing Canadians.

Yep, for some of us Clippy never went anywhere.

I keep a Windows 2000 machine with Office 97 for distraction-free writing, but I might try this. WordPerfect for DOS was always a pretty relaxing way to write.

No motive has been given, although police have said they are “confident” it was not an act of terrorism.

I wonder what makes them confident of that. It certainly resembles a terrorist attack.

Someone who used to wear an onion on his belt, which was the style at the time.

Kidney failure as a consequence of the school bus crash.

She was recently beaten so badly by her husband that her life was in danger, and then she was hit by a schoolbus. Things can’t have been going well for her.

Ssshhh! Don’t let the Americans know we can do this.

I wonder how much his actions were about believing in the Russian cause and how much about rebelling against his CIA parents.

How many people have these issues with audio and networking? I currently have 8 Linux computers and none of this has been necessary on any of them. It surprises me how many people claim to have endless difficult experiences. Many distros make it all very easy these days.

And editing a config file is hardly a “brick wall”.

Use the free Rider for home and ask any new employer for a commercial license. It’s a pretty mainstream piece of software. There’s really no reason an employer should force you to use Visual Studio.

For those times I need Microsoft tools, I keep a Windows VM handy on my Linux PC. I feel much better keeping Windows contained and mostly turned off.

The UK is likely to leap to the right next time they have an election too. They had a decade and a half of terrible right-wing government then voted for something else, but what they got was terrible centrist government and they’re frustrated. The centrists expelled all the left politicians from the Labour Party, so now the choice in England at least is Labour’s centrism-with-bigotry, incompetent Conservative, neo-fascist, another fairly directionless centrist party that appears to be led by a clown, or Green. Because people are angry, it’s likely to flip far right.

Big Balls 2028!

Actually, please no. But we’re headed that way.

It’s what Jesus would do.

I think at this point it’s “so it continues.”

VS Codium to the rescue.

It’s the only way to be sure Microsoft won’t sneakily turn it back on.

When ICE are kidnapping people and trafficking them to foreign concentration camps without trial, it’s a judge’s responsibility to defend the rule of law and protect people from being unconstitutionally disappeared. This is Trump’s Gestapo trying to intimidate the judiciary for taking actual action they can’t just ignore.
