       @grammargirl Listening to a podcast this morning, I heard someone use "substitute" in the opposite way of how I would — and I was waiting for them to correct themself when I remembered your post! (And thought, "Oh, they're just using different grammar.") d

       @killyourfm  Currently running Fedora 38, no real complaints. It boots faster than my three-year-old Mac. Yesterday my Mac installed their video app without even asking and it took forever. When I had to use Windows, in my office jockey days, I would boot up my computer and walk away for 15 minutes because it was impossible to get anything done in those 15 minutes on the computer. It was like waiting for water to boil with a match under the pan.

       Americans also like denying how important tobacco was in the early colonial/US economy.Schlepping tobacco isn't as bad as slavery, but… it still kills a lot of people, two centuries later.

       @aral That Musk was called into the Pentagon over the issue of satellite communications in Ukraine says it all. Well, pictures of his Starlink satellites crash-landed outside of cities probably says more.

       I'm voting "necessary," but only because if such a transition were to occur… it must occur in time. A society like the US's — the third largest country in the world (and in world history) — probably couldn't radically transform itself overnight.If someone showed me a plan for transitioning over one year (and I was capable of understanding it, and found no major flaws with it), I'd be amazed.But even an interim of one year would necessitate some sort of hybrid organization of resources.
