What motivated your change?

My laptop finally died on me. […] I’ve got Ubuntu on my desktop

No. What motivated the change? Your laptop dying was correlative and not causative.

It’s funny that we’ve had SLSA4-compliant package managers for 25 years, but we leave juniors un-mentored and this is what they build as they self-teach … over and over and over.

swimming in rancid meat juice

You’re aware the ocean has a number of fresh corpses - fish, whales - as well as a bunch of faeces in it at any moment, right? :-P

is anyone in Canada making a bourbon-like whiskey?

Yes

yay! One’s in stock near me, and we’re already out near there tonight so it’s easy. I may have to try new things.

It’s weird that I grew up in the okanagan - picked grapes for summer cash; ugh - but I never figured they’d do Corn in Vernon. Then again, Shelter Point (yowza) opened up a few meters from the house of a grad-class chum, so I have a trend of moving away from places just as they’re getting ‘spiritual’. 🙃

Looking forward to trying the BRBN tonight if the BCLDB has it. Thanks for the pointer!

It’s been so long I forget what tan suit sin they trumped up into treason.

“*******” is a weird password. Aren’t there supposed to be letters and numbers ?

We get it. We bought into conservatism light to avoid getting fully-leaded conservatism.

We don’t have to like it, but we know the harm is reduced.

West Kelowna

Ahhh, the west Virginia of Kelowna.

Linux’s license not count as about Linux?

Philosophically, no.

In set theory, also no.

Legally, still no.

Does it contain similar letters? Like Laughter and Slaughter do, yes.

medias

That’s already plural. It’s like a hat on a hat.

they will need to be constantly replaced.

This is the funniest part. Can you imagine completely rebuilding the average datacenter every half-decade?

source the materials out there

That’s 5 words and trillions of dollars worth of start-up cost.

If we’re so dead-set on flying servers out to LEO so they can be micro-meteor target practice, maybe we could leverage the no-water, solar powered setup we’d have to do there to get better DCs on earth here, first. We’d have gravity and thus convection on our side as we look at cooling, not to mention the vastly better proximity to supply chains during the proof-of-concept phase.

Poor people ruled by oligarchs.

They already use the same medical system as those backward Canadians, just with far less money in it.

maxxing

Faxing, taxing, relaxing. Why the exxxxxtreme x?

And the death was metaphoric, like “dead to me”.

Jesus noped out again after his twin was killed, traveled to and died in San Sebastien like 40 years later and was buried by his three kids.

Point: potential security risks identified

Counterpoint: cheaper

You see how these things don’t really intersect, right?

Holy redpill incel batman.

We’re doing name-calling again?

I guess Lemmy will swallow Xtra strength red pills if coated in articulate and sciency sounding jargon.

I don’t see where you’re challenging the facts that led to the conclusions you seem to be responding to. I hope that’s coming, and I’ll watch the thread for it.

This is gonna be the way. PR too, America’s second-least-favourite protectorate after Samoa (you forgot it existed, didn’t ya?). PR can shore up a bunch with solar power – and whatever one does for things like storm damage mitigation, the other can also.

And let’s do haiti next, although that’ll need to be a whole new secure endeavour out of like an embassy basement or something that can’t be stolen or blown up.

Probably violates sanctions. With your DHS being super racist and paranoid, best not upset them and get sent to the thunder dome.
