Food is food. Do what you want to do to your food because you are eating it. Other people aren’t eating it so they don’t get a say. If most people saw what the original pizzas were they wouldn’t recognize them and some wouldn’t like them, including modern Italians.
Tabasco, in my opinion, is just like eating a pizza with peppers or a bunch of pepper flakes on it, or as I sometimes do, ground cayenne pepper.
Take my begrudging up vote.
Actually my 54th Birthday is comming up in a couple of months. Good job but sooo close.
I am younger than Woodstock and “The Summer of Love” but older than Disco.
I find that people who come from the old days of linux will often respond “you have to use terminal”, or “learn the operating system”, or even balk at people saying you can just use the GUI Interface/Desktop Environments. And then when you get help from expirienced users you get allot of terminal commands, which makes people think “I can’t use Linux without learning the terminal first”. In actuality it is just easier to show a person a command and ask for the results than it is to walk a person through getting the same info otherwise.
“OK, which Desktop Environment are you using?”.
“Desktop what?”.
“Which version of OS did you download and install?”.
“Cinnamon.”.
“X or Wayland?”.
“What’s a Wayland?”.
“OK, X. Is your system up to date and which kernel are you running?”.
…and so on. It is faster to just help working in the terminal. The Desktop Environments are fairly far along and most that I have worked with you could get by completely in the Desktop and not touch the terminal.
I would suggest Linux Mint, but for now I would stick to the non latest version of 21.3 as they bit off ALLOT in 22 and while it works for allot of people there are driver bugs they inherited from Ubuntu and have not implemented the fix for yet and allot of other pains in the toukus so if you want a version with the minimum of troubleshooting and stable Desktop Environments I would stick to 21.3 (If I had any sense I would be switching back to it from 22 myself).
If you want another option it would be Ubuntu and its Different Desktop ‘Spins’ to see which you like the most. Some people prefer to start off on Fedora and I am told it has a good DE, or some people recommend PopOS which had its own spin on a DE but they have let development lag on it as they developed their Cosmic Desktop for the Wayland project (the project that is superseding the X.org project for making windows).
Which ever you choose, good luck. I am in the same boat and I am trying to learn what I can before it is too late.
Its not much of a vulnerability, like locks, its not if it can be picked, it is how difficult it is to be picked, but the difference here is that the vulnerability is that a nation state actor, or a high capability actor can compromise it, and “it” being the thing that keeps your accounts safe.
So this is like the lock that protects all your accounts can be shimmed if it ever gets out of your control type of an issue, so not to stop using them, but to keep them secured or on your person at all times.
I hope YubiKey offers a fair upgrade program for their next series of keys and maybe a new FIDO Standard.
The drops you see coming off of canned air is the accelerant and condensation, which evaporates instantly. You shouldn’t use it on a running PC because it is mildly flammable. As for the vacuum being used I was speaking of the safer way someone could use it at home, not at a shop. At the shops I worked at they all had Data Vacs which are dedicated suck/blow vacuums, along with various various anti-static attachments. They also had compressors. The use was depending on the job and cleaning up after the job. I would sometimes use the Data Vac as a way to keep the dust I would kick up with the compressor down. Then agian I have washed really bad computer motherboards to get oils, tars, or other stuff off the board to get it clean, and then give the boards an isopropyl bath to get them clean. The motherboard and air cooler has to be absolutely disgusting before I get that far into it.
As long as they use “Leader of the Free World” for their President without giving me a vote and the fact that American Policy is also very influential in my Country means that I don’t have a vote but I sure as hell have an opinion, and a more educated one than many Americans. I follow American Politics and Policy daily.
Yeah they talk about this kind of stuff in this story and how it isn’t going to save us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rR2sYlDqdnw&t=762s
Thankfully they have made components allot more resistant to Static Discharge than when I started working with computers, but at least allot of attachments they make with them these days are static resistant.
Still, use canned air until you can buy a decent powered blower and you will be surprised at the uses you will find for it. Some even double as a small handheld vacuum so you are not pulling out the big thing to clean up small messes. Reminds me I have to get a new one soon or pick up some canned air.
Saw the same thing at a shop I worked at(not as tech support though) except it was the wife who was fit to be tied and couldn’t figure it out despite all the help and it was the video cable came loose and the switch on the PSU was switched off. The video cable was bent but luckily they could replace it on the monitor. She just went off in a blue screed talking about how he" $)% cleaned this, and ^%((#@ %_+&%^% vacuumed that and it didn’t work" along with some complaints about him in general to the girl up front, not realizing the back was full of male technicians and me.
I was trained to be a technician so I went to do what in my course they exaggeratingly called “Troubleshoot the Idiot” or see how technical the person with the issue is and then run through the problem with them. I realized that they thought the Front Panel was the on/off for the PSU and that they weren’t getting most of the dust out of the case because they were using a vacuum on suck. I turned on the case and got a new cable for her, and offered to clean the PC which technically was part of my job description.
They let me keep everything except the cable charge which I didn’t expect. I guess it made up for when they stiffed me on some payments. And when I was finished you have never seen such a prim and proper and demure woman. 😆
They aren’t for you, pumkin, they are for people who suffered from and are still experiencing trauma. And if seeing a trigger warning spoils anything for you… awww muffin. Did somebody spoil a show for you by being comassionate to others? Oh you want a sooooothie?
For which politician. The ones that AIPAC has either bought off or scared that they will spend endless money against any position you run for on your competitor at the slightest move that they do not approve of. The Scary Orange Man who will make things worse or the party of the Scary White Man who is literally funding the genocide of your people, the third party candidates which will get you attacked from both sides, or choose not to vote at all for a protest.
And if you look they say “They won’t vote for Genocide” not “They won’t vote for Kamala if she changes her position on Israel and its lunatic right wing government”. But they won’t vote for someone who is killing their families.
I haven’t looked it up but the Artwork was recently put out by the official artist that did the Obama Hope Poster so I gather it was from the official campaign but did not verify.
Many were Palestinians who had lost swaths of their family to Genocide, but you don’t care about that… oh I though we were both making assumptions based on personal opinion.
This post was made by King right after Kamala did a rally in Michigan and used that phrase to trash some Anti-Genocide Pro-Palistine protesters who she first said that “OK I’m Speaking” and then told them to keep it up if they wanted Trump to win. This is after she had had met with muslim leaders and protest leaders and was giving them the run around.
Caitlin Johnstone who is famous for hosting Democracy Now and has been covering the genocide in depth, saw Steven King post this and thought, as many other people did, that it was referring to what she did to the protesters . Then people in the know started to inform us that it was in reference to something she said during the Presidential Debate 4 years ago. Something that her team should take into account and do away with that merch for a while.
yes. Link posted in the comments. https://www.denverpost.com/2024/08/27/chaffee-county-search-rescue-hiker-coworkers-retreat-injured-mount-shavano/
From another news story covering this: “The man reached the peak of Mount Shavano around 11:30 a.m. but, when he turned to descend the mountain, became disoriented when he found that the group had picked up the belongings being used as trail markers as they hiked down before him, according to search and rescue officials.”
I couldn’t watch past the Federation/Fediverse discussion. You can have several words for the same thing. There is no such thing as a “real word” so long as it fits the language. Language is a living evolving thing. And I watched and by that point they didn’t even get into how it works and explained everything but.
