Don’t worry with the way Trump is handling NOAA, weather prediction will soon return to the good old days.

In the short term, the motivation doesn’t matter as long as they’re on the right side.

It means you can’t trust them, but motivation is not the issue.

I like having all my games in one place, on a platform where Linux “just works” and I don’t have to fuck around with it.

Eliminating third-party launchers sounds great in theory until you have 20 different half-baked second party launchers that serve no purpose other than being a barrier between me and the games.

Wisconsin here, when do we join Canada?

I prefer Quod Libet but I have fond memories of rhythmbox.

“Without further due”…

Does Matrix do solid voice chat?

Is it approachable to the non-technical user?

Alright, what’re we moving to next?

(Thank God, it’s finally over)

Is Mumble still a thing?

And that’s why most (all?) things that are well-designed to provide external access have permalinks. Dropbox, Google, OneDrive…

That usually doesn’t apply to external access though. You don’t share stuff publicly by NFS or SMB.

What the hell shitty system does that?

If you break a lock, that’s different from unlocking it and removing it.

Forcing upgrades at Microsoft’s convenience.

This is the only one I agree with. Upgrades are necessary for security, it’s just a fact of life.
