that is not and has never been my supposition

I never said I disagreed, just that reality isn’t always congruent with equity and fairness.

Show me better data and I’d be glad to.

You’re making a lot of assumptions about my choices. I choose to live well below my means because I don’t want this to happen to me. I don’t have pets, despite wanting them. I didn’t buy a nice house on an expensive loan; I rent a small crappy place in a decently safe area. I don’t buy cars on loans, I fix them myself until I need to buy a new one in cash… I live as if I make half as much as I do, and have done so since working my way through school.

She should be making 40+/HR for what she does. Hard work out in the sun all day is brutal and should be adequately compensated. But until society figures it’s shit out, people have to be willing to make hard choices. It can be done, it’s just hard and people generally don’t like making hard choices.

I’m just operating on the information I was given. In a vacuum, all other things being equal, animals are a net cost, one she clearly cannot afford. I’m not speculating any more than that.

I would criticize anyone wasting money on an animal while living so close to their means that homelessness could conceivably be in their near future. Sometimes you have to make choices you don’t want to; she probably never had the means to support those animals. The argument isn’t that she should get rid of them, it’s that she never should have had them in the first place. Animals are expensive, and I also wonder what she could do now if she had all the money she spent on them over the years of ownership.

To be clear, I’m not advocating for $20/hr being considered a livable wage. Disney should be ashamed. Anyone working a full time job should be able to afford a pet if they want one. I just also believe in personal accountability.

Endpoint is any PC/laptop/sign/POS/etc. It’s a catchall term for anything that isn’t a server. it basically refers to any machine that might be logged into and used by a non-IT user.

I’ve heard anecdotally that some 911 services were down in my area, but I can’t speak to how wide that was.

Those people exist

can confirm; am a small government fiscal conservative who thinks gays are people.

I think the vision was what Motorola delivered briefly a decade ago with webtop. The original version of it was a chrooted lubuntu with full access to apt, and custom applications that let you render your phone, or phone apps as an application. It was powerful enough to get me through my first 3 years of a computer science program in college with a lapdock as my primary “computer”. (Think a brainless laptop, that you dock your phone into)

When they moved from android 2.3 to 4.0, they dropped the lubuntu webtop in favor of Android’s tablet mode, which was a huge bummer, and what made me get an actual laptop. Outside of gaming, if that were the average computer paradigm today I’d be a happy camper. Why buy two computers when you can buy one instead?

Why are you being downvoted? Is there something I’m missing with the generally accepted reliability of the source or the methodology in the research?

Same, I wonder if there would be any way to report it to the state AG, maybe some pressure to ban it could hit google

Generally the lifecycle with this sort of thing is old_thing becomes an alias to new_thing, and eventually old_thing gets dropped as an alias down the line.

It’s still decent advice to learn dnf native calls and to update scripts using yum to those native calls.

Sometime between now and September, obviously.

Yes you are correct, I had the two reversed in my head.

Hangouts was built on xmpp, and used to allow federation. Yes xmpp still exists but it’s functionally dead.

I believe google hangouts and xmpp would like to have a word with you. There was probably a universe where federated xmpp was as ubiquitous as sms, but in this universe, google federated, brought users over with cool features, and then defederated when they had all the users.

If you want another example from the same company in modern times, look at chrome and http/css/js. Google’s chokehold on the web ecosystem with chrome means that whatever they do, everyone else has to follow suit or not be compatible with the browser that something like ~75-90% of users use

Okay, I’m hooked, I have to know the non-clickbait story

I believe that one was patched a while ago

I’m a big fan of tiling window managers like i3 or awesome (awesome wm). Awesome is the one I use. It’s tiling and the entire interface is built from scripts that they encourage you to modify. Steep learning curve but once you get it how you like, there’s nothing like it.
