@cwebber cryptocurrency is sort of like cryptozoology, right?
I'm not at all surprised by this. The place has been mis-managed for a long time, pulling stuff like kicking out long time tenants right after they've done a contractually required renovation because a bigger store (that's also not there anymore) wanted the space, vending machines to compete with their food vendors, bad rent terms that make it really hard for smaller stores to break even, &c. So it's mostly empty. Unless you want Miku shirts or pretzels.
Got my shot. #covid
Just in case anybody gets the wrong idea that you can't run Windows malware on Linux, don't get too smug. Wine can totally run a lot of that stuff.
It looks like I still have the high score in @chest_bot
Who will knock me off the top of the leaderboard?
I have a vaccine appointment. The site I registered with has a very bizarre failure mode if you try to use Firefox to get the appointment and I can't for the life of me figure out how they managed to break things in the very specific way that they did (using Chrome, you enter your registration code and get the page to choose your appointment.With Firefox, it instead takes you to the survey for doing the initial registration and errors out a few pages in because you've already done that step).
@frank@linuxrocks.online @sean This isn't about being able to do something or not, it's about the overall grit that saps productivity while trying to do those tasks. Yes, they all have their warts, but on Linux I can mitigate those issues instead of being stuck with them.
@sean Yeah, I don't miss that hassle. The nice thing over on Linux is once you figure out how you want things to work, everything does a pretty good job of staying out of the way and letting me do whatever it is that I'm trying to get done. I can't honestly say that about Windows or MacOS.
@sean When I started using it in the 90s it was just expected that everybody would periodically configure and rebuild the kernel.
