I hear that! Toastmasters was part of my conversation long after it would have been helpful!

Good luck.

Oh, ok. Thank-you.

Niagara.

Cool disclosure: I haven't tried any others. I was really impressed by Niagara and just paid the asking price.

I still love aptitude TUI even though I don't use Debian anymore.

Next is dnf because it's clear with obvious subcommands.

Friends don't let Friends use Microsoft products. If you're using Windows you're finding this awful organisation. Shame on you.

There is a truism. Will have to come back and give the original quotation author, but it's

"Only poor people pay taxes."

Rich people have the resources to evade and skirt around any tax legislation which they are supposed to be captured within. Most of them use the corporation as holders of wealth of which they have control.

Corporate taxes are almost always lower than personal taxes for that reason.

Banning billionaires is as likely to succeed as veganism.

All of the remaining Reddit, after a search engine for Lemmy appears. I'm financially contributing to Lenny, in a meagre way it must be said, and to a post-charging Reddit app. I'd really really miss both of them if they/either disappeared: the shared wisdom is almost never available anywhere else. ๐Ÿ˜

I always try Reddit first for every query and then Lemmy. Lemmy is a wonderful resource but needs a way to have its results indexed in the well known engines or a dedicated engine of its own. May https://www.search-lemmy.com/ return soon.

Thank-you to everyone who made Lemmy possible. There's no way that Encyclopedia Britannica was going to cut it. ๐Ÿ˜

First micro was an Acorn Atom around 1981. First home built PC in around 1988.

Used Windows from the very early days of 3.0 when (Xerox?) Gem became the less useful competitor.

Around Win 2003, XP era they started taking useful functionality out or burying it and taking the useful KB articles off the net.

About that time I wanted to look at VoIP and stumbled into VoIP@home which was hosted by CentOS and I, initially, ran in a Win 2000 VM.

Not long after MS bought Hotmail and found that Windows servers couldn't keep it going and they had to replace it with UNIX. Maybe that timeline isn't quite right.

Started transitioning away from Windows that that stage and am so glad I did. I think Win 12 will just consist of a start button and everything else will require daily subscription.

From being a Win fanboy to just wishing he'd have taken the whole thing to that Epstein island with him and left it there.

Absolutely outstanding contribution! Thank-you so much.

Nice try Google. Tying up Reddit and Lemmy users would be good for you.

That's a transition!

I really enjoy the blues. Gen X here.

Thank-you for sharing and look forward to hearing from you here again.

Great idea. Need to evolve from the mess that was searching Reddit.
