@gabek Agreed completely, my body doesn’t tolerate heat. Yet I’m stuck living in the hottest part of Canada.

@atomicpoet Yep, along with those that have credit debt or student loans. There’s just no winning in this country anymore.No Canada.

Don’t give Twitter any more of your mindshare or content. Write long form on your blog where it truly belongs.

@gabriel This makes these people not much better than the radical right-wing insurrectionists they’d otherwise call out. So disappointing.

@inference @404zzz @thebiologist1117 @futureisfoss Wow, that’s beyond bad. I remember hearing about this back in the day but didn’t know the whole story behind it.If I was going to use Linux now, it would hands down be Fedora.

@ray @fahrni Thanks Ray, I’ve heard of Pinafore but never tried it. Time to re-don my tinkerer’s cap.

@futureisfoss @inference @404zzz @thebiologist1117 I’m not a cybersecurity expert, but I know enough that doing something like this may as well be malicious; the result is the same. Our work server had an issue with the clock sync getting disabled, and it broke a key part of functionality and verification. Internal only, but still a huge impact.You just don’t mess around with clock settings for any reason, ever.

@futureisfoss @inference @404zzz @thebiologist1117 It wasn’t malicious, but it was deliberately and willingly incompetent. Enough that it should give anyone using or considering Manjaro a moment of pause. I wouldn’t have used the distro regardless of this incident, but it would’ve been a dealbreaker if I had. No second chance from me for something like this. I recall Mint having a breach of their ISO downloads and downplaying it I believe. Same result for me, so I’m not picking on Manjaro.

@kev So sorry to read of the loss of your father taken from you far too early. I was almost brought to tears by your story, and inspired to find a good keepsake of my father to hang onto.And on a happy note, pineapple on pizza is always the right choice.

@inference @AmpBenzScientist @404zzz @thebiologist1117 @futureisfoss That’s true, it was more the bugginess and hardware compatibility issues that plagued its reputation. XP tried to be the next Windows 98 SE—which was solid as a rock—and failed miserably at it. It wasn’t until at least SP2 that it improved enough, but by then that ship had sailed.All of this is ignoring the fact XP looked like a Fischer Price toy. Whomever came up with that digital vomit should question their life choices. :)

@inference @AmpBenzScientist @404zzz @thebiologist1117 @futureisfoss 💯this. I still have to use the ugly Windows (7?)-based UI on my work software running under Server 2012, and it’s an absolute eyesore. I’d give anything to enable the Classic UI if it was still available.

@inference @AmpBenzScientist @404zzz @thebiologist1117 @futureisfoss Wait, the last time I looked at the interface options I didn’t see Classic in there. Where can I find this hidden gem?

@inference @AmpBenzScientist @404zzz @thebiologist1117 @futureisfoss Mine has the ugly turquoise coloured windows and taskbar, definitely not Classic. I need to do some digging when I’m back from vacation.

@joel @tdarb That’s highway robbery, though I see a lot of TLDs that are overpriced.

@bigzaphod Ugh. That is wholly counterproductive.
