    I agree, but I am not sure what that will look like. Restructuring? Bail out?

    They currently don't make anything anyone even wants. How long till they can retool and get competitive?

    In any case, it would seem like whatever is promised to employees now may not be what they get in the future.

    That sucks. And the only way to fix it is to get people not to play.

    I am on hiring committees for a large firm for it positions. When people put their linked in on their resumes, I see it as a negative. If they can't value their personal data, I don't see how they can value my companies.

    Linked in shouldn't even be an option. It was shit before microsoft bought them (email man in the middle, remember that?) and somehow microsoft made it worse.

    I would never touch that platform. Friends don't let friends use it.

    Don't tell me this! I have it on my steam deck and it is addictive enough. I had no idea it was available on android. I am going to try and pretend I didn't read this.

    I have been using openmediavault for years and years. Basically debian with some configuration already done for a web gui, quick access to shares and user controls, and a simple but ready docker setup for your containers. Extremely light weight.

    I have unraid on a test server, but I just can't see the point of using it over omv. Raid is not important to me, you have to make backup either way. Containers are containers, and a vm is not something I need

    I now see the angle you were taking in your comment.

    I read it as no one can stop you from growing it,

    And I believe you are saying corpos will mass commercialize it just.like tobacco.

    Thanks!

    No, it would be more like a poor craftsman who doesn't recognize it when a tool is crappy. Ubuntu is always on the way to breaking, or is broken at the get go. I remember when they thought 4 was stable. It was not nearly compared to most anything else at the time.

    Even recently I had to install Ubuntu for a project because that is what the vendor supported. Several things were broken post install. Default Ubuntu stuff that should have just worked. Par for the course. If you get past that, of course the mishmash of Snap management for feature incomplete software can be very trying for a new user, when other distros make it easy.

    Most crashy breaky mainstream distro there is and always has been.

    It's barely tolerable.

    But I did used to like the departure from blue themes like nearly everyone else.

    You tell me the difference when that film is continuously converted to a gas in the atmosphere. So you are saying as long as it's thin enough it's not important to worry about?

    No they have not phased out bpa for all aluminum cans. As of September Germany for example is still waiting for regulations on bpa.

    Also in Srptember a new company is about to replace yet another attempt at.making a clean lining for aluminum because the bpa became bps etc.

    A thin plastic film... in other words a plastic bottle.

    Actually a resin. Made of BPA, which is released into the atmosphere during the recycling process. Which contributes to the 1 million pounds of bpa released every year.

    Basically small amounts of plastic BPA, burned into the air for each and every can.

    So no cans currently do not solve the plastics problem.

    Their point was that buying a can just means you are buying a plastic container anyways, that happens to be reinforced with aluminum.

    It's still a plastic bottle.

    I agree with this a lot. I really do not like the term "content". It is like going to a recipe for some "slop", like using a term that is just a catch all for everything tossed on a plate.

    Art is great. Movies, music are also fine terms. And so is simply saying they made a video. Watering it all down to the term "content" is just so boring and mind numbing.

    I have to look at this list as "in no particular order". I could move many of these up and down the list depending on the criteria.

    Nice list though, and thanks for posting the list in text!

    Just tried it in Edge, with no ad block.

    The first link was what I was searching for. None of that extra stuff showed up. The ad (for something unrelated) was in a column in the right.

    There is no account associated, little browsing history. This machine was completely wiped 2 weeks ago.

    I think the difference is, I am not in the US.

    I tried several models, several prompts, and the results have been surprisingly bizarre. I also was surprised there is no JR Bob Dobbs recognition. All I wanted was a classic 1950's TV salesman.

    Lol at the JamBands headline. Was this show "lost"? [Looks like there are 4 traded shows to choose from on Relisten alone....](https://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1979/12/09?source=338037) Ah the headlines...... It is a good show... not Brents first as this article alludes to.

    I have configured buckets and synced three joplin instances. One time it lasted a month. Another lasted a day. The most common error is *Got Metadata for Path but could not fetch content. * Anyone have any tips or tricks to getting this to work? I sure like concept, the best place to sync for me. And yes I can see the markdown file in the bucket so.....

    I was out of country for the past month. I have access to two monitors, and I brought a keyboard, wireless mouse, and a small JBL speaker. It has been a pretty good experience. I have edited documents, images, and created PDF's. I can connect to jobs that require windows with a web browser to Azure Virtual Desktop. I have streamed live events, worked on my home servers, and it is always snappier than a windows machine. With a click I am back in handheld gaming mode playing SNES games, or Elden Ring.
