@CarlCravens I agree. Even the anti-futures, the cyberpunk imaginings, had a certain hope to them.

I suppose _another_ option would be to set up Disqus on the blog. That sounds like work, though.

It is my position that there's minimal differences between Linux distros, or between Linux and *BSD and other Unixes, if you're in userland and not being the admin.How am I wrong?

@amerika Since the last time I touched CDE, the weirdest and least usable GUI (for me) was recent MacOS, with most everything else behaving in a very Windows way.I've never ssh'd into anything and not had Unix/Linux waiting for me. Well, not since VMS in the early 2000s and that was frustrating.

@CliffWade I have WSL running Ubuntu on my Windows machine, and I have a Chromebook I mostly use to control Spotify.

So, on the Classic Rock subreddit, someone posited the classic question, more important than any other, more cutting than Beatles vs Stones.Who is better? CCR or the Eagles?I have opinions, but first, I will ask you.

@hyde @BRicker @jacobydave@nerdfight.online The first rule of #FFNF is you really must try and tell everyone about it. It's a really fun thing and the more people you tell about it, the better.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXhZIyGTz5Q

@mjgardner @gizmomathboy Blowback is exactly why I'd be willing to talk about this over beverages in person but not online.

@preinheimer Even Eve would benefit, getting away from the screen and into a coffee shop, two tables over from Bob and Alice.
