One of the reasons I prefer Nextcloud is it makes a lot of this easier. Nextcloud Notes is simple MD file and subfolder structure. Nothing special, no special clients needed. They have a droid client, the web version works from desktop, but you can also just sync the folder to a device and open them with anything.

The proprietary format of Obsidian and others like Joplin was too abrasive across clients for me and too locked in to their format. I prefer just using MD because I can edit if with whatever.

From 2006 onward I was a Gnome 2 fanboy and you could not convince me to use KDE.

Fast forward to Gnome Shell, and KDE Plasma; You couldn't get me to touch Gnome. I love love love Plasma so much.

Uh, false. So called "serving" class jobs (wait staff, hotel maids and a few others) have a lower minimum wage in many of the provinces. In Quebec, their sales for their shifts are even tracked an proactively taxed for the expected tips they should receive. Which is why you get stink eye from servers in Quebec, they get taxed on expected tip output even if they don't get tipped.

I see they have removed the "service" terms held over from slave nomenclature and now call it a "minimum tipped wage".

Pro Tip is not Pro Working.

Pro living wage, pro profit sharing, pro median income for CEOs.. These are pro-working views.

Tip economy is part of the very class war problem we find ourselves in.

I do not miss the high pitched background screech of CRTs. Monitors or TVs. The TVs from the late 90s that would show blank screen instead of static were the loudest.

Comaps is not a fork of OSMAnd.. OSMAnd is a high powered offline maps and trip planning toolkit with many layer options, custom layers, multiple map views, and a range of plugins.

Comaps is.. Well an offline compatible Google mapsish clone. It doesnt have anywhere near the capability of OSMAnd. Its more "general user" focused.

As seen in Quentin Tarantino's "Fill Bill"

I too agree that we should revive Webrings.

Can't wait to be a criminal in my own country for protecting my privacy. Government can get fucked.

Working at MSN Tech support during the. Blaster Worm and its subsequent variants which triggered reboots in Windows 98-XP, I was put off from every version of Windows including XP, and it was the last windows I installed.

After working an 8 hour shift of repeating the same proceedure on a customers machine to properly fix the virus every 15 minutes, the same thing I had done every day for three weeks, I came home to find my XP machine bootlooping due to the second variant (Sophos) finding its way into my patched machine as the fix for it had come out while I was at work. Instead of joining the Freelancer LAN party I was due to be at that weekend, I spent the time fixing my machine and learning Linux. That year Windows became a secondary install, and remained that way until Wine had stabalised for most games I played. I think I dropped dual boot around 2011.

You're damned right they didn't.

 

Title says it all. He sells Scrooge better than any other movie adaptation I've seen.

 

As the title says, I'm curious if they ever named or revisited this Human civilization in the later parts of the timeline in any way? It seems like too good of an opportunity to not revisit it at some point.

My searches did not reveal any answer, so thought I'd ask my fellow trek nerds.

 

Just had this one shared with me directly on signal and could not find it in here, nor could I find a source. Too good not to share though. If someone knows the meme creator I'll update this with proper credit.

 

Riker came down on a whole other deck and wants answers.
