I use MX, and it’s very good, but technically it’s based on Debian.

One can hope for a barroom free for all, much damage all around.

I went on a vacation trip last week. We took the ferry fron Connecticut to Long Island, rode our bikes from Orient Point to the Hamptons, took the train to New York City, hung out in Brooklyn for 4 days. No car the whole way. It was awesome. Brooklyn is super cool, biking in NYC is the best way to enjoy the city. I am full of ideas for the next trip.

I did. It was perfectly fine, got a new condition, slightly older model phone for about half price. Unlocked.

Hario Skerton, use one every day.

You can, BTW, enable systemd on MX, no problems. I do. It’s a good distro besides that.

Back home now, all seems OK 🫰 Thanks…

One can only hope for a long and brutal fight, much damage. Mutual annihilation would be great. Pass the popcorn.

My wife is having cardiac surgery right now, I am staying at a hotel near the hospital, working remotely, trying to keep busy and not think about it too much.

Specifically, good things on the World Wide Web: research. The amount of good information available is incredible, compared with pre-Internet times. Weather forecasts, what the space telescope is looking at, what’s happening in other parts of the world places in their own voice.

Sure, there is misinformation as well, and some people will cast doubt on anything they don’t like or try to drown it out, but get past that, and this is a golden age of knowledge.

I don’t necessarily agree with everything they say either, but I do believe that diversity is good, and big, opaque media run for financial gain are not my personal favorites.

Yes, I’m one too. That’s why I am here. The channels are generally relevant to me, and I can communicate with people, and not disappear in the mob, or deal constantly with low effort smart ass comments, trolls and bots.
