There's way more than enough wealth in this country to go around, if it were evenly distributed.

Sylpheed is the best. I thought everyone knew this.

Everyone who is aware of the facts agrees that the big terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 were the result of a conspiracy. That the American president was in on it seems unlikely. Some of your "reasonable" questions seem ridiculous, such as the idea that a person having "limited flight time" makes any difference at all. The invasion of Iraq was the result of another conspiracy, one which was ongoing at the time and ready to use any convenient excuse to get started.

I checked the local classified ads and their prices don't seem too far out of line with what people are asking. I guess there's still demand even though 2020 seems like a long time ago in computer years. Not from me though, I think the PS3 will be my last. There's no need for a newer console now that games can run on linux.

I don't know much about Doug Ford, but this sounds a lot like one of those "every accusation is a confession" situations.

37% of them went so far as to get a mastodon account and mention it in their twitter profile, and then maybe one third of those put some substantial effort into making it work. That's ~90% who didn't bother. In the one small-ish academic field where I followed some of the new arrivals on mastodon when they got there, it very much appeared to me that the failure had nothing to do with the decentralized nature of the platform. It was simply that the small number who made the transition did not add up to enough to form a critical mass and get the discussion going. Some few of them did give it a good try.

Depends on the argument I guess. Don't bring a sweet roll to the kind where you need a war axe.

It has been falsely claimed that the measure undertaken by MCMC is a draconian measure

While it may be unclear exactly what kind of Internet traffic laws Draco would've written, allowing only the major landowners to run DNS servers does seem to be in keeping with the spirit of "aiding and legitimizing the political power of the aristocracy and allowing them to consolidate their control of the land and poor" as his laws are said to have done.

I've used them both in the past, but prefer Xfce now. So I'm probably not too biased either way on Gnome v. KDE. I'd say they're both extremely well-supported, popular, respectable, and safe choices. They're quite different in style though, so odds are you might find you have a preference for one or the other. Go with whichever you like best.

As a child of the 20th century, so did I.

What is the point of that? For convenience, email addresses are much easier to come by than is web hosting. For being securely anonymous it's also much easier to do through email — but not by so much that requiring a website rules it out, if that's the intention.
