IIRC that was X11. It has admittedly been a minute. And by a minute, I mean a year.

You can do gui apps too! I used distrobox to run WebEx on an Ubuntu image for an interview. Just had to get to the actual binary to launch and it worked seamlessly.

I thought you only had to join if you can’t beat them.

And now all the UN countries call for a quid pro quo, right? …

I wonder if it’s more because we frame the question by altering the structure to indicate the appropriate response.

We could just as well ask “you are from where?” Or “your name is what?” That matches the expected sentence structure of a response, and the natural pitch rises.

Maybe we shouldn’t be letting investment bankers make/influence foreign policy. Their motives are clear and perhaps a bit out of touch.

Nothing like a threat to the capital investments of a few very rich people to get the socialized bailout money flowing.

Trump needs to be sentenced.

This has been around for ages (in Internet time). And the connection to Vance is one step.

Behind the Bastards just dropped an episode on the weirdo too. https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/

Trump, again, is just the useful idiot.

You’ve forgotten Reader’s Digest.

And we can’t forget the episode of Seinfeld where George takes a book into the bathroom.

Why hasn’t the billionaire properly secured himself? We all know the public option is de minimus, so why hasn’t he gone deep into the private mercenary world to hire the best?

/s if it wasn’t obvious

So what I see there is that badly designed fonts require ligatures to correct interactions.

Like, I get that there are some neat ones, e.g. I have them turned on when writing code for symbols, but they seem wholly unnecessary and distracting in alphabetical characters.

But I’m also the kind of weirdo that thinks the world needs more monospace fonts.

/shrug

To me, that’s even worse. Ligatures that have 0 separation where it’s expected short circuit my reading comprehension.

The “fi” combination also seems problematic since they seem to intersect.

For legalization, but historically toed the party line.

Similar functionality is actually baked into the kernel!

Absolutely.

Sidenote: I keep seeing “xitter” being used, is it safe to assume it’s pronounced “shitter”?

Oh I have no preconceptions about anonymity here, I just don’t want yet another hackable database with my PII that I don’t need to give up. It’s more of an op sec kind of issue (I say as a former cyber security dev).

Fewer is better!

Yep, totally get it. I’ll squeeze by as long as I can for the sake of privacy.

Apparently the issue is cheaters using the self-checkouts according to the employee I talked to.

So now we all have to jump through more hoops instead of having another cashier or two. Ironically, there were extra staff at the door enforcing the scanning.

The scanning is also supposed to bring up your picture for identification.

They don’t have a picture for me on file and gave me crap when I scanned. I just showed them my license and went on my way. I don’t my face linked to my name all over the internet when they get hacked next year.
