Every school library in the US has 120 copies of this book. I'm just wondering how many non-school / library buyers there were. If her success is government-mandated, it can easily be discounted.

I try to avoid anything under the FreeDesktop umbrella since they have blatantly violated their charter and lied to their donors.

It’s funny to see how scared these companies are to just let go remote workers. Almost as if… they’d lose their best employees and be left with nothing but HR…

Why are society’s little cupcake nannies so flustered about this innocent gadget?

Me too, but eventually you just get so excited about eating the bugs that you can't help but to run around enthusiastically telling everybody you know about how great it is. I can't help raving about them even though I'm like

Is this the end of "responsible disclosure?" Seems all these companies do is drag their feet in the face of vulnerabilities.

It's stunning that the government would make use of the GovCorp tracker pods the cattle willingly pay for and carry. Shocking.

They don't even say what hardware they're using. It could be impressive, or slow and bloated but just massively parallel.

We need a standard platform for benchmarking, they don't even tell us their hardware. I vote rPi 5. It's easy to get, it's the same everywhere, and you can't just blast out whatever numbers you pull from your ass.

The future? I didn't know it had a past! I ignore everything Mozilla except Firefox and Thunderbird, and I'm slowly quitting Thunderbird. Going to try to move to Seamonkey for everything soon.

Should and are, two different things. Cities are getting more dangerous, this is a fact. But "should" they? It's not a real question. Please though, enjoy, try to attract new residents. I'm sure eventually the commercial
