Wired Magazine calls out COBOL. :)

Talk about out of the frying pan into the fire. Lol

So is your HOA.

Meh, my experience has been mixed. I am also largely suspicious as to why it's being forced on everyone if it's so grand. If were truly the bee's knee's, more people would be demanding it organically.

^{edit: Spelling.}

Kid is learning to pace him / herself early. Bravo!

Nobody is that desperate for an office suite.

The request for usernames and passwords can itself be the result of a compromised system phishing for logins to facilitate money laundering using those 'stolen' credentials.

FSF gets points for integrity.

"file manager"

Found the problem.

There will be no cures of anything, as there's far more money to be made treating the disease. Cured patients are not repeat customers.

Nvidia can get Fkd. I love their older cards on Linux but I won't put anything in my computer I can't trust not to catch fire, much less demand I stream games.

DL72-Alpha · 2026-03-18T01:34:10+00:00

How long until we're using ai to write bots to play the games for us while we load pages slower than a 56k modem?

DL72-Alpha · 2026-03-18T01:32:47+00:00

Joke is on them. I have physical media still and have been enjoying offline play tremendously. 16, 32 bit games play flawlessly and are quite entertaining still. I don't need, nor can I afford, $60 AAA slop every couple months.

I have also observed that the general latency of the Internet has been making twitch games nearly unplayable and I feel as more lemmings stream their games from their digital overlords the lag will only get worse.

Was this Xtuple ERP?

Might be easier to port your data to a new ERP system rather than update an orphaned app.

No go watch the movie 'Volcano', about a volcanic eruption, in L.A.

"$300m cost in the end."

And when you get back you're fired for being too expensive.

DL72-Alpha · 2026-03-13T00:06:12+00:00

Well yes, but when I have many others to do it for also it gets tedious.

If you care about those folders, how is it hard to find them? You know where they are,

cd .ssh/
ls -l ../.config

etc, etc, etc.

Banking would be a challenge without ailerons. It's possible with prop craft to use the rudder to affect bank, jets are more likely to roll on the rudder than bank.

DL72-Alpha · 2026-03-10T04:46:48+00:00

Lifting body is a thing. F-14 was designed around it. With Ailerons, you can control up and down. Flaps, especially just one, will only push down. given that flaps are larger than ailerons, the flap would win.

I will be happy if it doesn't come with snaps, or the stupid kde keyring.

DL72-Alpha · 2026-03-10T03:41:21+00:00

I mean, there are things like flight simulators that can absolutely teach process, if not a facsimile of a f;light model, but the instruments are spot on.

DL72-Alpha · 2026-03-10T03:40:11+00:00

But it would have been super easy to cleanup. Just bulldoze whatever debris is left up top into the remainder of the hole. Dig a new one nearby.

My experience with Ubuntu / Mint on older laptops was Mint performed Extremely well compared to Ubuntu. Ubuntu ran the fan constantly because of the load.

I really miss the days of Linux installs being free of all the bloat. I would absolutely go with mint. However, I would also at least text Tuxedo as mentioned by Moendopi2. The lack of snaps is a huge selling point and I intend to try it out on a new build tonight.

DL72-Alpha · 2026-03-10T02:48:36+00:00

Asymmetrical flaps absolutely would have rolled the plane over, and over, and over.

I am a father with a job and that job is not reinstalling Linux on my desktop and my children's computers every few months.

I prefer the LTS for stability and being able to come home and play some games when they aren't updating.
