Not to mention mortgage interest.

If I wanted to give it a bold facelift I’d just use the top one and remove the letters. Gives it an arrogant, “if you have to ask what this is…” vibe, which is probably a good thing for them.

Economic policies, sure. But there are social policies and perhaps more importantly a culture of intolerance that can affect people over a wide range of economic status.

I think I’d just add “straight white people” to the qualifier and then I’d agree though.

It was originally posted in 2019. Joke of course being that things associated with the 1920s would be relevant again in the 2020s.

Comic then shared as a meme with the 3rd panel being replaced with other panels. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/things-were-bringing-back-in-the-2020s

IIRC that was the release that cleaned up the make output substantially.

I really don’t think it’s the devs driving these decisions…

English isn’t even the official language of the United States — we don’t have an official language.

Various states have official languages (19 states + DC don’t have any official language); of these states, English is indeed official, with a few states also recognizing native languages as official alongside English.

Of course that’s beside the point, as even calling this sort of racism “thinly veiled” would be far too charitable.

EulerOS, a Linux distro, was certified UNIX.

But OS X, macOS, and at least one Linux distro are/were UNIX certified.

The network gear I manage is only accessible via VPN, or from a trusted internal network…

…and by the gear I manage, I mean my home network (a router and a few managed switches and access points). If a doofus like me can set it up for my home, I’d think that actual companies would be able to figure it out, too.

…which implies the existence of integer women, real women, complex women, imaginary women, rational & irrational women.

Travel expense reimbursement — though many companies have a “no receipt required if under $xyz” policy.

How do we get everyone angry.

This is the problem — taking away my coffee makes me angry, but I’ll be too tired to do anything about it.

Add to that photo editing (as much as GIMP is great…). I would guess DAW and video editing would fall under that category, too…and good luck finding many AAA open source games.

While “the system” is absolutely at fault for this, lifestyle creep — and changing finances — is very real.

For example, if you can almost afford a house, and your rental is modest, you’re probably not spending all of your take-home. But if you make just a little bit more it might make financial sense to buy a house, stretching your budget to the max. Short term this really hurts, but long term may end up being a savvy decision.

Opting for a hefty mortgage can be risky, but can also pay off in the long run — especially in a place like California where property taxes are basically fixed at time of purchase.

Come see the vise grips inherent in the system! Help! Help! I’m being drill pressed!

You can roll your own saline nasal rinse, but it takes a little care to get the salinity just right. And best to boil the water first in case of brain eating amoebas (seriously — not common, but very, very bad).

IIRC Torvalds uses Fedora.

(Debian for me.)

UN-Verified

Unfortunate abbreviation…

I keep hearing about grocery prices, but no one has any explanation of what Biden was supposed to do about it that he wasn’t already doing, or how Trump will handle it better.

Completely agree. I think it’s a “you break it you buy it” situation with voters.

And it’s not based in reason — Biden’s administration was staring down the barrel of a recession, and yet here we are, having completely avoided it. That’s a pretty successful navigation of the economic hand that Biden was dealt, if you ask me. But at the end of the day “groceries more expensive” = “we need someone else in the white house” for a lot of voters, I guess.
