Or, do what the nearby horse farm does, just head to my neighborhood and leave the horse shit all over the trail and the road and people’s yards!

Seems kind of rude to me, but what do I know.

How many of us old Slashdot users are here, anyway? 5 digit UID here.

This is what I’ve always done. It has worked fine for me every time.

I’ve been daily driving it on my desktop and laptop for several months now, seems fine. But I don’t need the bleeding edge either.

But that’s not what the comment was about… The top level comment said Debian was hard to upgrade, and I have not had that experience.

I don’t understand that comment either. I’ve been using Debian for years on my server, and it just keeps up with the times (well with Debian times, not necessarily current times).

It’s way easier than Kubuntu was for me, for example, which required reinstalling practically every time I wanted to upgrade. A few times the upgrade actually worked, but most of the time I had to reinstall.

Nah, I heard that long before cell phone cameras were even a thing.

Fun fact, the operator can set the “win” percentage! (My brother is in the business of arcade and redemption games at various locations.)

They’re things like drive mapping scripts, stuff like that. They’re definitely normal for our setup. Just not sure why they have to interrupt me!

Yeah those are great until you have to clean them because the cat missed. I still use them, because it’s better than the floor, and basically any mat has some type of issues.

I have an ongoing irritation with windows (use it for work, Linux at home): It steals focus from the window you’re using if another window opens.

Drives me nuts. I’ll be typing my password and pop! Oh look I just typed my password into something else that popped up because IT requires this program to run on login today.

KDE is much better about not stealing window focus like that.

I don’t disagree with the premise, but one group is literally siding with Trump and cheering on everything he does. You have a way to get through to them? Because so far, when you point out the issues, they just attack or claim you’re a sore loser.

I did call him out on that, for all the good it did.

If the Medicaid and social security things go through, it’ll be much sooner than that. My brothers and I paid for a new hvac system for their house last year, which gives an idea of the financial issue they are likely to face.

It was actually about my job (I work for the federal government), but same issue. He, my mother, and my brother voted for something that directly impacts me.

There’s a guy up thread saying I shouldn’t take it personally, but how can I not? They’re the ones making jokes about how hard I don’t work.

Had kind of a similar conversation with my dad recently. “I’m sorry you feel that way.” “Well they’re cutting Medicaid, so we’ll see how that goes for you.”

I recall trying Mandrake at some point, but I don’t remember when. I might have had it installed on a laptop.

I read most of his points and I agree with them…

But I have so much else to worry about, I just can’t get worked up about this.

And I think he is ignoring the firestorm that would ensue if, say, openssh tried to change from using the current directory. There would probably be five forks started immediately to restore the original functionality - and is ssh really adding new features like he claims?

Maybe it could be a config option in the site install (which I thought it already was), but forcing a change to fix what is a minor problem isn’t worth the headache.

I do hate that some of those package systems install software into home. It inflates my backups dramatically and unnecessarily. I use opt for that sort of thing instead. For example, my immich docker install is in /opt.

There’s a push to use it in my office. Specifically to hopefully reduce the number of people we need to review cases and code them appropriately.

Ooooh they said, Ai can totally do that!

Then in the most recent meeting, it changed to “Ai will give the clerk a summary and recommendation!” So we aren’t reducing the number of clerks, and they’ll just follow whatever the Ai says rather than checking the cases themselves. Just another thing to train them on and have go wrong.

In the interest of pleasing my bosses, the research is continuing, but I have little hope it’s going to be helpful. I talked them out of giving the text to the clerk, but instead save the recommendation and see how it matches up to the clerk. Then it’s at least a fair test.

Good luck!
