I love how people fight over what’s the better editor. I just use whatever makes sense for the time, and it’s not always the same one. But if you’re happy with just one of them and can make it work for you in any situation, then you do you. That’s the point of Linux, or so I thought.

Reminded me of the scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark, where the Nazi priest says, “It’s beautiful!”

Maybe they can hold their ground for long enough to get something accomplished. Like last time, remembe… oh, right. Shit.

“Nobody knew!” - some U.S. President

Weird to see Mint ranked below Ubuntu, but I’ll take it.

The Gandi quote about Jesus isn’t actually from him. However, Indian philosopher Bara Dada in the mid-1920s did say, “Jesus is ideal and wonderful, but you Christians, you are not like him.” So it was probably a common thought among non-Christian believers.

That seems optimistic.

Thanks for the feedback. I wish Amazon made it easier to provide different selections. I basically have to resubmit the whole thing every time. But I did create a “basic” cover for the small/cheap one.

The “they have played us for absolute fools” line always gets me laughing, even when I don’t fully get the setup.

Clearly, shoot people in the back if they didn’t vote correctly.

So you’re okay with anyone seeing anything you send over the internet, in the mail, or on the phone? Why would this not be a problem, even if you are totally innocent of any current crime? Would you be fine if someone were spying through the open windows of your home? You’ve got nothing to hide, and they aren’t hurting you, right?

If there is a reason for officials to come looking for information about a crime, they have other ways to do so. Why make it easier for them and violate the privacy of everyone else who is doing nothing wrong?

This borders on “well, they aren’t after the group I’m in, and probably won’t be, so whatever”. If you don’t think that’s a danger, you have not been paying attention.

Let’s turn the question around - why is securing any sort of communication between two parties such a bad thing? What happened to innocent until proven guilty of doing anything? Encryption isn’t a crime, at least until it becomes an inconvenience for those in power who want to mind other people’s business. It’s no different than pulling the window curtains closed.

If I had it, it would already be out there. But someone does have it… so they could do something.

Leaks get clicks. Have to make it marketable for the media, they don’t do what they do for the public good.

WIndows will install it. Running it correctly… different story.

I’ve used VLC in WIndows forever, but it started giving me glitchy behavior in Ubuntu. Tried to upgrade to see if it was an old version/Snap thing, got frustrated with it not working. So I went through all the lists of Linux players, tried most of them. I like Audacious. It’s not perfect, but it works well, and I can deal with some of the minor things that are more preferences than problems. That’s all I wanted.

Learned this from a work injury. Even waiting a few hours before you get stitches to pull the gap closer together will leave a scar, albeit a small one. The body doesn’t have time to wait on your slow ass; it’s repairing right away (once the bleeding stops).

“I’ve seen things.”

“I have no mouth and I must scream.”

“Rights aren’t rights if they can be taken away. They’re privileges. That’s all we’ve ever had in this country: A bill of temporary privileges. And if you read the news, even badly you know that the list gets shorter and shorter” - George Carlin

Ha, I’m not on here. Wait, that’s probably a bad thing.

How is #6 only GIS and not also normal for many gaming rigs?
