I’ve used a Mac since forever. But I started using FOSS apps. Then I created a Hackintosh, until it borked. Then I installed ZorinOS and almost didn’t need to fix the Hackintosh. I did fix it, but Zorin convinced me that Linux is legit and I’m going all in on it.

Put simply, being in the right place at the right time, and having connections, can be as important as having the skills and experience.

A waiting mortuary was designed to confirm that dead people were truly deceased. To alleviate the fear of being buried alive, recently deceased were housed for a time in waiting mortuaries, where attendants would watch for signs of life. A bell was strung to the corpses to alert attendants of motion. It's erroneously believed that this was the origin of the phrase "saved by the bell", but the phrase really comes from boxing.

Funny story, those guys lost ALL my data a few years ago.

They didn’t “choose to,” they “got to!” What an honor! 🙄

Did the same thing. Got them using FOSS apps on Windows (Firefox, LibreOffice, Thunderbird), then switched them and made Linux look like Windows. They never cared, kept on using it like nothing changed.

Crypto billionaires are billionaires “on paper.” By that, I mean, they can’t get their money OUT of crypto unless millions of people buy INTO crypto. So, of course, they are trying to mainstream it.

This study is from 2017, but I suspect the numbers are even worse now.

Those channels give the burrito moisture somewhere to go so the tortilla stays dry. 👍

Seems like it might be helpful to prevent people from escaping the work prisons we’ll all be toiling in one day. 🤣

(Was that too dark?) Super-cool tech, though. 👍

Yeah, I dunno if I’d trust Deloitte about anything, not to sh!t on PIA’s tech which I have no knowledge of.

I finally realized that Americans buy for edge-case scenarios. Well, I might go off-road someday. Or I might need to haul something big someday. Same with houses. I might have six friends over for a month someday, so I should buy a house that will mostly sit unused until then. Instead, we should buy for what we actually use, then rent something for the rare occasion when what we have isn’t enough. We’d save a fortune, and not waste so much energy. 🙄

Florida’s Sunshine Laws just make their trash public. I shudder to think what happens in Alabama without our knowledge. 😬😬😬
