No kidding, the US Supreme Court is now better at gymnastics that any Olympic Competitor. When do tryouts start for 2028 :) Pretty good for people of their age.

Plus glad to see it call "Gemini" instead of "Gemini Protocol", too bad google stole the name after Gemini was a thing. And unlike gopher, Gemini renders fine on Cell Phones. As I mentioned before in these threads, I fi

They replaced AIX with RHEL a couple of years ago, so I cannot check anymore. When I tried w/wayland, nothing would display.

IIRC, Trump wanted to get someone on Mars by 2030 or 2035 ? Well good luck with that. Cutting funds like that have been doing, it will be lucky if NASA can send someone down the street to get milk :) I would think returning samples from M

Yes, but you are running the remote client on AIX ? AIX does not have Wayland at all nor its libraries. I had issues with that. That is done a lot in many companies due to some proprietary applications.

I have no intention of ever running Wayland. Maybe if Wayland is made part of Xenocara in OpenBSD base I would consider it. But for now, X11 for me. Plus I use X-forwarding quite a bit.

Good luck with that. If you are on a 'real' OS like Linux or BSD and have *coins there, I doubt anyone would know. Especially if you have disk encryption and using a trusted VPN or tor or something like that. Remember to enable

Nice, there is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(protocol) which I went to over the last few years. But yes, I agree pretty much with the whole article.

I would agree, but there is one issue. Where will people move, without a huge amount of homes being built, where will they move to ? If the move, even with their current insurance rate, their payments/rent will probably cost much more

I can only assume you are correct since my experience with RHEL is limited. But I believe SUSE should be an OK alternative for some companies.

From my experience, 6 years is about right, maybe a slighty longer than normal. When IBM purchased Lotus, they pretty left it alone left it alone for 5 years. In 2000 changes started to be forced on Lotus and in a year or two, it was gone.

If I was still on github, I would also vote to disable copilot. But I wonder if my usage back then would even run afoul of copilot ? All I did was access github using ssh(1)/git(1). I only went into the WEB Page to create new projects

I wonder how that will impact the USPS ? I tend to think it will help their bottom line a bit due to the international price agreements many countries have. Now, UPS and FedeX and other such companies, I think they could be in for a world

For me it is the original Rogue, from that to Moria then Nethack. I still play rogue when I want some thing simple. But nethack is my goto. FWIW, I won rogue once, never ascended in nethack yet.
