If you don't like BÉPO because you want familiar letter-based clipboard shortcuts, you've already made a better layout selection impossible. I learned to use the older clipboard shortcuts: ctrl+ins for copy, shift+ins for paste, and shift+del for cut. Those are still as universally supported.

I mean, they are also responsible for making news a for-profit enterprise, which has arguably ultimately killed it.

KDE: With too much power comes too much responsibility. 😉

I doubt even the usefulness of polls. Who answers polls anymore? We've been polled and surveyed to death. Nobody has time for it anymore.

Literally the opposite of what Mr Burns did.

One of my favorites, but ymmv.

At the height of the pandemic, I was admitted to a hospital after a worse one had sent me home. I was delirious with pain, and was allowed no visitors. Once I got pain meds, I was confused from them. I couldn't eat or drink anything, including water. It took them a week to determine that I needed my gallbladder out (some shortage with their nuclear medicine unit), and by then I was apparently also septic. Due to a mixup with my pain meds, it took an extra day to get into surgery. I missed giving the elegy for my father in law, and the whole episode is just a fuzzy kaleidoscope of pain. This was one year after fighting for days to get a kidney stone removed surgically, only to wake up in recovery with another one that no one would believe me about for another week, then having a stent for a month.

I can fully understand jumping out a window in desperation.

To be fair, it used to be a much better, more relevant site, which I only remember because I've been around since forever too.

How do you not know boingboing.net?

Anyway, that's not the source, but Rawstory doesn't allow ad-blockers, so I linked that synopsis.

None of those, including my link, is accurate enough to really matter, especially this far from the election.

Even with that, the scariest part of the Borg originally was that they were just this undifferentiated swarm.

Touché. Hit a nerve, I guess.

Academic code is specifically created to be easily understood, so I'd agree.
