I mean, when we had hard water we just put it through a tap mounted filter. Not sure why anyone needs water to be clearer than that.

I’m firmly in the camp that if you’re so concerned with appearances that you need to buy special ice cubes for a party, you need to reassess priorities.

“Clarified water”?!?!

Ok. I know Canada has great water supply, but where do you live that your water needs to be " clarified"?

Lots of people use it, I recommend they try ifconfig.co - cleaner curl output.

From 2006 onward I was a Gnome 2 fanboy and you could not convince me to use KDE.

Fast forward to Gnome Shell, and KDE Plasma; You couldn’t get me to touch Gnome. I love love love Plasma so much.

Uh, false. So called “serving” class jobs (wait staff, hotel maids and a few others) have a lower minimum wage in many of the provinces. In Quebec, their sales for their shifts are even tracked an proactively taxed for the expected tips they should receive. Which is why you get stink eye from servers in Quebec, they get taxed on expected tip output even if they don’t get tipped.

I see they have removed the “service” terms held over from slave nomenclature and now call it a “minimum tipped wage”.

If you are using the stock Fairphone OS, you have Google Play Services installed. /e/OS comes on the Murena version, or you have to install it.

Sure enough, no login wall from Debian desktop. This is some Android autodetection BS that is realizing I don’t have a Google account on the device and trying to force a login.

Ugh, I neeeed a Linux phone.

Ill bet they detect the Voyager client or Android. Lemme try this from desktop too.

On a non-google android (Fairphone 6, e/OS) this is what I am forcibly redirected to every time.

Do you have google play services on your device?

You have to login to see their patents? Lol.

Pro Tip is not Pro Working.

Pro living wage, pro profit sharing, pro median income for CEOs… These are pro-working views.

Tip economy is part of the very class war problem we find ourselves in.

As seen in Quentin Tarantino’s “Fill Bill”

I too agree that we should revive Webrings.

Working at MSN Tech support during the. Blaster Worm and its subsequent variants which triggered reboots in Windows 98-XP, I was put off from every version of Windows including XP, and it was the last windows I installed.

After working an 8 hour shift of repeating the same proceedure on a customers machine to properly fix the virus every 15 minutes, the same thing I had done every day for three weeks, I came home to find my XP machine bootlooping due to the second variant (Sophos) finding its way into my patched machine as the fix for it had come out while I was at work. Instead of joining the Freelancer LAN party I was due to be at that weekend, I spent the time fixing my machine and learning Linux. That year Windows became a secondary install, and remained that way until Wine had stabalised for most games I played. I think I dropped dual boot around 2011.

You’re damned right they didn’t.

Rioting. Burning down the government, and hanging/decapitating the rich.

I guess they want that rolled back to the old methods as well.

Source or something?

I think the word drink was originally only an action, until someone started to refer to all drinkable items as “drinks” and the language adapted.

A similar thing is happening now, as people call things that can be eaten, “eats”. So you can " eat an eat"

I’m a Xennial and I have hated the LOL shit right from the start. Actually aside from the basic abbreviations from IRC, I tend to avoid acronyms entirely and prefer properly typed messages. Anyone sending “lol” with every message won’t see a lot of responses from me.

Zimaboards do not need RAM. They include it (do not confuse it with the Zimablade).

I just use the default hardware with the Zimaboards. Zimaboard 832s for the masters and nodes, and I recently added a couple of Zimaboard 2s for larger nodes as those have 16gb.

I like the boards, they perform well and the intel cpus in them have internal GPUs so for light transcoding or GPU loads they can be leveraged without need for GPU cards. After trying several other x86 based options, Zimaboards are my preferred option.
