it’s been awhile since i dove into Linux, but last time i dabbled i was liking Kubuntu.

Nokia’s got you covered

they also nailed the minimalist vibe better.

personally, i’ve got more important shit going on that what phone people are using. in the case of this phone, it looks like any other number of Android phones with a custom theme.

i’m assuming it’s more than that, but it still looks a bit silly. you can be minimalist and still appreciate things like color.

i don’t think we should act like journalism was in a great place before.

FB capitalized on a weakened industry, but it was the industry itself that was responsible for that state.

they really fucked themselves by not transitioning to the new market, instead insisting that it was the customers that were wrong. all these years later, i’ve yet to see a news outlet that would be worth the subscription fee. they’re mostly recycling content from other, free sites anyway.

once the older crowd passes, traditional news outlets are done for. the ones that remain will be the ones that were providing the content all along.

everyone knows, there’s a certain amount of fucking around you get for free. the real problem is that the finding out part can happen quick, and seem to come out of nowhere.

generally computers won’t stop doing things they were already capable of doing. tons of machines and businesses may rely on older hardware and software to complete specific tasks.

but yeah, a 486 is pretty past its prime, and the task could have been accomplished on something far more modern.

phones and tablets are fine for consuming media. they are noticeably worse at creating it.

i couldn’t imagine typing out long responses, sometimes with links, with a phone or tablet.

as for how many consumers still use PCs, hard to say. i know i don’t go a single day without using mine. whether it’s to play a game, type up a guide for someone to do something, or whatever else. on the flip of that, i also own a ultrabook that i use when i’m away from home. it’s capable of doing many things, but it’s no where near as capable as my desktop setup.

let’s be real here.

none of us are happy with the outcome.

pretty much ALL of us would have settled for $2.4 million.

let’s not just reference it and move on.

let’s show them doing it.

and let’s explore what it is they were saying specifically. they believe that Mr. Rogers was a ‘evil, evil, man’, because he told young kids ‘everyone is special’.

that’s what these evil, evil, people took issue with. a person on public television, not motivated by stacks of money, told some young kids they were worth something.

i also want to point out that this is the man they called evil. a man who went before one of the most powerful governments in the world, and talked about what was important to him.

in and of itself that’s not that unusual. people do it all the time. what made this time different is what was important to that person, and more specifically why it should be important to all of us.

they’re commonly known as busy bowls.

we had to get one for a young dog we took in. he was used to food being scarce, and would gulp down any given to him. the busy bowls make them work for it, so it slows them down a bit.

when i was 20, i took care of my grandmother. she got evicted from a so-called ‘Christian’ assisted living facility, that evicted her on Christmas.

people… what a bunch of bastards.

it’s not like [human] Spez can think much either, so maybe that future is closer than we think.

we’re already seeing the results with Twitter, reddit’s just a bit behind the curve.

They’ve been doing it for a very long time now. I’m currently using a 2015 model, Dell Tablet. It has Linux support. Cost me about $250 (with a copy of W10 Pro), a few years back. I also got it with the hard shell keyboard dock, effectively making it a net book.

It’s been a great device, but probably isn’t what OP is looking for.

that’s because you are the product.

you ever notice that Batman’s relationship with Robins is similar to Joker’s relationship with Harleys.

You thought you were the first? You won’t even be the last.

that’s because it wasn’t. it still isn’t. the best hardware in the world won’t do anything for you if there’s no software to use it. with the iVRy dev working on this, and with Sony’s announcement, they probably realized it was a inevitability for someone to crack the software problem.

no one ever said it couldn’t be done.

really that depends on a number of factors. like how big the jet is, etc.

some of those planes are pretty small.

my friend and i worked with a guy for many years, that was also a pilot. he was a pretty frugal dude, but was fairly smart with his money. flying his small plane was a bit of a hobby for him. he owned a store location in the city we were in, but also had another store location about a hour/hour-and-half drive. sometimes he would take his plane, as it was actually cheaper and faster to go to the airport, get his plane prepped, fly out, do whatever he had to do, and fly back.

undoubtedly he was using this as an excuse to fly his plane a bit. but i definitely know he wouldn’t have been doing it if it was costing him any significant amount of money. he wasn’t loaded, and was always about saving some money.

different cars in different locations.

for example if she flys into a airport on the Eastern side of the country, you’d just contract out a car there. many airports even have multiple car rental companies on site to handle such things. for more upscale stuff, there are usually smaller flight companies around the airport, and they handle all the details.

you just fly the people in, they get the car at that location, and then drive to wherever they’re going.

in the case of musicians, if they’re on tour they usually have busses they charter, along with large semi trucks to drive the gear and stage stuff.

GENUINE AUTHENTIC VEIL OF VERONICA!

it is true that the founding fathers could not have foreseen the invention of more modern firearms, let alone the idea of semi and fully automatic firearms. but they did clearly envision that a armed populace was a good thing. they also fairly clearly envisioned it as a equally armed type of thing. what was modern then would be considered antique and primitive just a short century later. but the spirit of the amendment still comes through fairly clearly.

in the case of modern society, fully automatic weapons are heavily regulated and are not, in general, in the hands of the populace. true some can be modified, but to be caught with such a weapon, is going to bar you from legally having any sort of firearm, as it’s a felony.
