It used to be that we considered things. We were rational. Logical. Contemplative.

Almost forty years on Earth, and I’ve never once experienced that. Humans have always been irrational, judgmental creatures, given to tribalism and social pressure. Maybe we’ve gotten more vocal about it as a result of the Western world being mostly peaceful for four generations, or maybe social media has made us more likely to interact with more people than we used to. But when were we rational? When our ancestors hanged or shot people over horses? Were they being contemplative while they burned people (or otherwise killed them) at the stake because they didn’t conform to the tenets of a book?

Was it rational and logical to force whole societies to perform certain tasks, and then deride them and try to harm them for performing those tasks?

It’s always been a crab bucket. It’ll always be a crab bucket. All you can hope is that you’re high enough up to keep your shell intact but low enough down that you don’t get grabbed for the stewpot.

Congratulations to both of them. I’m glad they’ve had the money and connections to get the medical care they needed, and I hope they can pay it forward to others who need the same help.

I mean, Barclay has three programs like that.

I mean, BMP does still work as an uncompressed, artifact-free format.

Compatibility is an advantage.

Because I’m tired of all this nonsense where just because a thing is a mature technology, it’s considered obsolete. Stop constantly pushing for the next thing. Keep the things that work.

Lynx is the best browser.

No, I have WebP blocked in my about:config. And I use Pale Moon, which actually blocks the things unlike modern FF. And I don’t load PNG either.

I just use old JPEGs. Not JPEG2000, not PNG, not WebP, not JPEG XL.

Nope.

Okay. Are they going to do the same thing they’re doing in Android now? Are we going to need to use ADB to install software without their consent?

There’s coffee in that nebula.

Zorin’s been around for years. I’ve only ever used the free version. It’s okay, but I think Mint is a better transition between Windows and Linux.

I hope they find Mint soon. Zorin never worked well for me.

Yeah, but I wouldn’t want to be culpable for anything they do on my wifi.

First, I’d disable the guest wifi so that you don’t get caught up in anything. Then report them first to the management / super. Then maybe the gov’t.

Especially since that particular Romulan happens to look so much like his Dad. It’s a wonder that Spock didn’t “logically” order an Alpha Strike the moment he came onscreen.

NYC: Fuggedaboudit! ATL: (Unknown, I’m from NJ) Vulcan: Fascinating.

The easier way is to do it in your browser.

I’m sorry, what?
