I love that he said this, the guy who thinks the media are all liars. What a buffoon.

Not op, but I would also trade a camera for a headphone jack if there were no other option. It's because I take on average one picture a month whereas I listen to dozens of hours of music in that same time period. So I guess we all have different priorities, and it would be nice if phone manufacturers didn't force unnecessary change on us.

But the aliens in Godzilla movies land in Japan before Godzilla shows up.

I can't think of time where I needed anything more than Mint for a desktop. It's been on at least one device in my house since 2010.

That blog post you just published is incredible, so much good stuff I've been wanting for years. You do a fantastic job balancing content releases and quality of life releases.

And even the Desktops with Bluetooth can often have in incompatible version for file transfers. Bluetooth is a mess.

It's weird to not see any posts about Azure. I remember watching a keynote from Microsoft's CEO several years ago where he explicitly said the company's focus was on Azure and cloud applications, and that the role of Windows was simply to get you there. That's it. This is also inline with comments about Win7 being the last good OS because that's about when the transition started.

This is what I do because my sites aren't complicated enough to warrant a build system. Personally I think most websites out there are over-engineered. Example: a Discord friend made a React site that displays stats from a gaming server. It looks nice, but you literally can't hyperlink to any of the data, it can only be loaded dynamically and only looks coherent on a phone in portrait mode. There are a lot of people following trends (some good trends) but without really thinking about why.

I'm a new Kate convert. I had some issue on my system where GTK apps would break under Nvidia, something to do with font rendering. I tried Kate and was like "cool it works" and then I discovered how amazing and lightweight it is. Great editor.
