Having used quite a few others: hard disagree

Several companies I've worked at had bespoke internal systems that were less general but extremely efficient to use.

It kills me to think some bean counters probably gutted them and gave the money to Atlassian

IMO it's a nice middle ground between a typical Linux system where every app you run has access to everything else you run, vs a system like Qubes where every app is locked down in its own VM

I bought one of those release CDs. I used it to be able to use ppp + my 486's modem to connect to my employer's network which let me WFH on an 80x24 tty.

LibreWolf saved the spirit of firefox. Screw the Mozilla Board of Grifters. They could have just provided hosting for open source solutions/VPNs and sell lots of swag maybe host an actually good podcast ... but no, they leaned into selling user data WTF

Interesting, that dynamic is in line with the 'radiator' theory of human brain evolution.

From a more recent article:

the shift to an aerobic, hunter-gatherer lifestyle in early Homo, including long-distance running, exerted selection pressures that favored both increased endurance and enhanced brain growth

Questions are piling up about whether a region nicknamed "Flash Flood Alley" should have done more to prepare for Friday's deluge [...] "It's very tough to make those calls," Rice said.

Quite the mic drop. But wait:

Texas officials have suggested that the National Weather Service (NWS) didn't adequately warn them

hampered by the Trump administration's cuts to the federal workforce, which cost the NWS nearly 600 workers earlier this year

I do vaguely wonder how this stuff is spun by the Pravda-level propaganda that MAGA consumes.
