I’d be sending Seal Team Six around to visit Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh as well.

Can’t believe nobody else has mentioned him yet

The national Democratic Party is the farthest left it’s been since before Watergate, and Biden has presided over the most progressive presidency since the Great Society. That’s due largely to the work of dedicated progressives and activists in the Democratic Party. A West run will tilt the election towards Trump and fracture the left for ten years or more. These were lessons that were all learned 23 years ago.

I’m a total browser slut.

At work, I use Firefox as my main browser. I had been using Edge to access the Chromium rendering engine, but I’ve recently switched over to Arc.

At home, I recently exchanged Safari for Orion and Edge for Arc, with Firefox for when I work from home.

I used to have Opera installed for times when a VPN came in handy.

All on Mac

Do either of them support forwarding messages from another domain? I’ve worked places that blocked my personal email, so I’ve mostly used Gmail to forward my personal domain.

I loathe Chris Christie with every fiber of my being but I will buy him a pair of Springsteen tickets if he files this suit.

I wanted to like BeOS so much. I even have a VM with Haiku on it. I occasionally spin it up, gawk at how retro-cool the UI is, look around at everything I’d like to be able to do, realize I can’t seem to find any usable software for it, close it and try again in six months.

I’ve been a loyal System/MacOS/OS X/macOS user since System 6. From the first time I sat down at a Mac, it’s the only OS family that allows me to forget that I’m using a computer and just do things.

Architecturally the Classic MacOS was a hacked-together mess (though I was pretty good about managing my extensions, and I put together some pretty impressive uptime with my old Power Macs), but the UI was incredibly fast and responsive. Even on my M2 Pro Mini I don’t believe I can navigate my filesystem as quickly or as easily as I could on my OG iMac running 9.2. And I’d still love to visit an alternate universe where macOS evolved from the Server 1.0 UI rather than the Aqua UI.

OS X/macOS feels a little more cumbersome, a little less personal. I don’t always love all the new features Apple pushes in its new releases. (IDEK with the new Settings menu.) And I really didn’t love the hoops I had to jump through to get PHP running on my Mini (I could have gone with an all-Homebrew setup, but I wanted to keep things relatively uncomplicated). The last version of macOS I unabashedly loved was 10.14 Mojave. But in the end, I appreciate all the things that bringing Unix to the Mac allows me to do, and there’s enough of the old MacOS DNA that I’m still mostly able to sit down, forget I’m using a computer, and just get my work done. That’s what I look for in an OS.

I maintain a number of Drupal websites as part of my job. Our stakeholders have varying degrees of familiarity with the ins and outs of computing.

A few months ago I got a ticket from one of our stakeholders. Apparently PDF files were broken across large swathes of their site. What happened was Red Hat pushed through an update to apache that closed some security loopholes. As an unexpected side effect, it also meant that any files being served from Drupal’s private file system would break if the files contained spaces in the names. No rewrite rules seemed to fix the issue; we ended up having to go into the rendered HTML and replace all the spaces in the links with ‘+’ signs. They are now told to make sure future files have underscores instead of spaces in the filename.

So yes, in some cases you still need to use _ (or some sort of non-space character) in file names, even today.

In much the same way that cemeteries have an active population of dead people. The Venn diagram of Libertarians and right-wing assholes is largely just a circle.

“Small government” really has nothing to do with it. As the article states, these are Republicans who represent districts Biden carried handily. They know they’re vulnerable in the next election and are not willing to commit to a policy that will get them absolutely creamed in the general. It’s comforting to know that they realize when their party is going too far and self-preservation causes them to temporarily do the right thing, but self-preservation is the only principle in evidence here.

That red is scrumptious! But I haven’t even scratched the surface of what can be done with the 14 Pro’s camera array, so I’ll sit tight and let everyone else enjoy this one.

There are some comments on some threads that really call into question the lack of a downvote button.

When a comment is so wrongheaded, so topsy-turvy logically and morally, it is actively harmful to discourse; not being able to deemphasize it leads to a generally worsened conversation.

IANA tax attorney, and I’ve always had more time than losses, so I’ll defer to your wisdom 😅 I also didn’t claim he was smart …

At this point it’s foolish not to consider this as possibly the greatest tax writeoff in history. Elmo is setting himself up to never pay another dime in taxes the rest of his life. Not that he probably pays that much as it stands, but still.

I got to see this lineup twice (once in 2014, again in 2017). I’m sad I won’t see them again. Truly a legendary band, with some incredible music.

Wilhoit’s Law strikes again:

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

I don’t know if that’s across the board. I overwrote and deleted my accounts after Apollo shut down. Waited a week, checking in periodically, to see if any of my content made it back into my accounts. After a week of nothing resurfacing I felt safe deleting my accounts.

Political leaders need better tech literacy like yesterday. Legislators not really understanding the fields they’re attempting to regulate is a problem that’s only going to get worse if trends continue.
