Ubuntu 24.04 LTS released

It wasn't too long ago that new Ubuntu releases were major happenings in the Linux world, as it was the default Linux distribution for many, both old and newcomers, in the desktop Linux space. These days, Ubuntu release hit a little different, with Canonical's focus having shifted much more to the enterprise, and several aspects of the distribution being decidedly unpopular, like the s

Following the NYT closely for over a year now, a picture is emerging:

Biased coverage leads back to the biases of one man, publisher A. G. Sulzberger.

The NYT is resistant to correcting errors.

The NYT relies on its reputation as the paper of record to avoid accountability.

Today on Assigned, a story in Politico, and a peek behind the curtain:

@DrVVill

Saw a post the other day, where the library had repurposed the Dewey cards with seed packets. You “borrow” the seeds, and replace them after letting a small portion of the harvest go to seed.

"Gay actor’s speech back on at Pennsylvania school after cancellation over his ‘lifestyle’"

https://apnews.com/article/maulik-pancholy-pennsylvania-school-lgbtq-speaker-fe5f5ff7ce28a6098c9b5296ef9eb26e

"The board...unanimously canceled Pancholy’s talk after a board member cited concerns about what he described as the actor’s activism and 'lifestyle.' Some board members also noted the district enacted a policy about not hosting overtly political events after it was criticized for hosting a Donald Trump rally during his 2016 presidential campaign." #LGBTQ

Actually preferred DR/Novel Dos- that on V7 offered Networking and preemptive multitasking.

Would need to check if I used it under the hood of Win98 🤣


in reply to Robert Reich

“protections for airline passengers”?? You mean their MONEY, right? Nobody actually cares about the passengers, but I do appreciate that their credit cards will get the money back if their tickets are canceled. Because we know that’s the most important thing here, the banks and how they feel about it.

Love seeing that 80s style footage. That looks more like tube pickup than a CCD. I know some early OmniMovie models used tubes -- what model is that one?
in reply to Paul Riismandel

@mediageek it doesn't have an obvious model number- it does use a tube in the viewer though


Whenever I feel even just a bit under the weather,like this morning, I do a COVID test if I’m going anywhere just to be safe. I rib myself, “There are other disease too you know.” Not this time. Hopefully as benign as my first time with it a couple years ago. #covid
in reply to Hank G ☑️

Good thing you have the test. They are no longer free.

;-(

in reply to Hank G ☑️

Wishing you a most speedy and full recovery!

I swear I had it earlier this year, the symptoms, but three negative tests...

My big takeaway after listening to the SCOTUS arguments on Trump's "absolute presidential immunity" claim, it is that there is literally no act by a Republican president at least -- not using the military to kill their opponent or even staging a coup. bribery or anything else -- that Kavanaugh, Alito, Thomas and likely Roberts would deem illegal. They are monarchists pure and simple... at least when it comes to Republican presidents. Notably, Kavanaugh started his career working for KEN STARR.

There was no drone delivery future. There was never going to be a drone delivery future.

Just like there was never going to be self-driving Uber taxis. Or Amazon Go supermarkets on every corner. Or hyperloops. Or earth-to-earth space travel on SpaceX rockets. Or level-five full self driving Teslas.

Just like there will not be a general artificial intelligence ChatGPT in the next couple of years.

They were all scams designed to lure dollars from investors and generate good PR.

Nothing more.

worse even:

Shit like #Hyperloop is by #ElonMusk's own admission just a grift to #sabotage #CHSR (#California #HighSpeedRail)...

Just like #Starlink is a #Scam to sabotage necessary #FTTB & #FTTH installations...

These bullshit #TechBro ideas are assaults on #PublicInfrastructure #Investment!





Setting aside the adolescent histrionics, this is a good look at how a business with a dominant position destroys itself from within.

@laffer1 success!

– without attempting to use a display manager (although I will install Firefox, and reinstall XDM, to maybe learn a little more).

A prior experiment with EFI enabled in VirtualBox – not a default, for FreeBSD guests – failed. No surprise there.

The pictured search for scfb was pure imagination.

@laffer1 FYI

Firefox 119.0 from Ravenports did not work until after I also installed libreoffice-single-standard … a simple dependency issue (in Ravenports), I guess.



Thanks to the Retro-Computing Roundtable Podcast I learned that John Romero, of id Software/Doom fame, co-hosts a podcast interviewing classic game designers/developers. It is very intermittently published but very good. #ComputerHistory #RetroComputing #RetroGaming

Is it me or is the Apple Fitness integration for Peloton scenic rides messed up? I finally got it to connect today but the timer and distance counts never moved. After two minutes I punted to using the the watch app tracking instead. #peloton #fitness

Today I checked off the first of my running goals by strongly finishing the half marathon in the Delaware Running festival. Ironically the marathon winner pulled in just behind me lol. I’m very pleased with my performance. #running

When I finally leave WordPress development (which seems both inevitable and yet perpetually-unattainable) I can see me becoming some kind of expert consultant in slow, careful, deliberate, elegant software development.

Actually… not slow. I truly believe that if you are careful early on you can remove friction and increase velocity.
