I think that I tried that one. I don’t remember why I rejected it.

Remmina is the best that I’ve found, but scrolling is broken. RealVNC is commercial, so I didn’t try it.
I programmed C++ in the 90s. I peek in every so often out of morbid curiosity. It just seems to get more complex and bloated every time, and I’m happy to be out of it. Yes, this is a pretty uninformed opinion.
It was such a huge disappointment. The guy made Blade Runner and Alien! Should have stopped after those.
I searched it out again, to control a Mac from Linux. Synergy 3 seems better than Synergy 1 was. Can’t speak about Windows, but I have no complaints. It’s better than ever. Related: I haven’t found a good VNC app to access a Mac from Linux. Any suggestions?
YES. Following was his best. Interstellar, Inception, Oppenheimer, Tenet: dull, bloated messes. What a fantastically overrated director.
Pop OS (an Ubuntu derivative) on System76 hardware. It works out of the box, updates are flawless, support is fantastic. For basic computer usage, it blows away Windows and MacOS.
We here for you
I built a boat!
If this administration is ever on the right side of an issue, it’s for bad reasons. That said, the federally regulated gas cans are so unusable that they become worse than unregulated ones due to workarounds.
I thought that headline was going to end with the name of a different sexual predator. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Donald Quixote
The Aristocrats
Upper or lower?
You made feral happen.
I don’t agree. We need to reserve that name for one of the actual death camps that Trump opens.
There are plenty of great colleges in Canada, and your kid should be able to get the process of permanent residency started, just to be safe. Oh, and Canadian schools are often a lot cheaper.
To be fair, he figured that one out a lot faster than he did groceries.
Yeah, well we all pay taxes or face imprisonment if we don’t. We are financing the thing we’re declaring independence from.
Of course, the caption does not convey the spine-tingling, brain-melting delivery of that line.
Ghoulish Oligarchs Party
because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others, too."
"We choose to kidnap brown people and send them to concentration camps. We choose to kidnap brown people and send them to concentration camps in this decade, and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard;
Liquid Sky. Weird and bad movie, terrific soundtrack. To make matters worse, my now-wife watched it with her parents (well, they started it at least), which permanently altered the nature of my relationship with them.
Oh, this is a thing? Good! Blocked.
We can find out, what’s he saying on Signal?
Why “of course”?
Well thanks for getting us here.
Who punched the Nazi?
Who are the 100s of 1000s so far? (It’s believable, I’m just not sure who you are counting.)
Elaine Benes, you seeing this?
Is Bobby feeding him colloidal silver?

Also, we visited the Arch (after the election), and the video about the 60s, highlighting social, civic, scientific progress was heartbreaking.
My wife and I visited St. Louis for a bunch of musical events and were blown away by the music scene there. Chase Garrett, Sweetie and the Toothaches, Ethan Leinwand and others. (Boogie Woogie, early 20th century jazz, ragtime, stride piano.)
Metal and brunch seem like they wouldn’t pair well, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ .
In ST. Louis, I hope you visited Evangeline’s for their Sunday jazz brunch.
Is he in the Black Lodge? Let’s see the floor.
Those Jesus (83) FOR TRUTH billboards are *everywhere*, blue states included.
And especially Moscow Mitch
Bring back Nancy
I need some context. This cannot possibly be real.
But they aren’t contracts, as the article points out. To understand current events, I keep going back to The Sopranos. The DOGE activity and impending tax cuts are a bust out, as happened to that degenerate gambler’s sporting goods store. The law firm “deals” are part of a protection racket.
Now do Sandy Hook.
I’m sorry, what happened? I was away from the news for 30 minutes.
So unfair of you to generalize in this way.
One of the best songs and music videos of this century.
I just hope that Trump doesn’t send him to CECOT.
Why would Trump, of all people, need a watertight contract? He would ignore it and do what he wants anyway. He is a party to the agreement and the sole arbiter. Who’s gonna disagree? Go to court over a disagreement about how to interpret the agreement? Come on.
You lose two points for XP. And one point for that keyboard layout. What the hell is going on between the main part of the keyboard and the numeric keypad?
Great concept of a plan, terrible implementation, amirite?

Apropos of nothing, the worst cover of all time was Sympathy for the Devil, performed by Blood Sweat and Tears.
Hands Off, Boston edition.
The dog-shooting wasn't a threat to her nomination, it's why she was picked.
This makes no sense. The American people elected Trump twice. It’s not a fluke. This is who they are. I’m an American and I’ve lost trust in “the American people as a whole”. They are gullible fools, happy as long as people not like them suffer more than they do.
Titles please
Very nice. 9/10. 10/10 if that were a true IBM buckling spring keyboard.
Called Markey for the third time in three days. Spoke to a human only the first time. I left a voicemail: no on CR, no on cloture, no on everything. I’ll happily donate to a primary opponent if necessary.
Markey’s office is still going to voicemail. Yesterday I was able to reach a human.
I got through to a staffer at Meehan’s office. Decided to call back (to say that I’d support a primary opponent if necessary), and that went to voicemail. Maybe they heard enough?
Well maybe it is this time. I mean, Trump ordered all cyber monitoring of Russian threats turned off.
Just called Markey’s office. The aide I spoke to said he is still undecided. I told her I would not vote for him again if he votes yes.
Is there anyone in the military to stand up to these traitors? Of course, if they did, that would be a military coup, which is rapidly becoming the least bad option.
Audrey. That place on Rt. 1? It’s Kowloon’s, not Calhoun’s.
No, don’t go to Linux. Get a Mac. And THEN when you’re fed up with that, go to Linux.
Is there any doubt that this senate would confirm him anyway?
Spelling is fine. But it’s pronounced doggy.
Let’s get the FBI and DOJ right on that.
2010: Tried to get baristador accepted as the masculine form of barista. 2025: Trying to get everyone pronouncing DOGE as doggy.
PSA: Don’t buy into Musk’s marketing. DOGE is pronounced as either dog-E, or doggy, depending on which syllable you choose to stress.
The Google Maps app on the iPhone now shows “Gulf of America” as the name of the Gulf of Mexico. I’ve deleted the app. (And DuckDuckGo has been my default search engine on all of my devices for quite some time.)
Everything is fine. arxiv.org/abs/2412.12140
No ads, no bloatware, no anti-virus software needed, free OS, free apps, trouble-free update process, free support that actually solves your problem. But you do you.
So is Facebook
DeepSeek is very impressive. But a bit touchy on certain topics. Take a look at its discussion of two different protests.
That is Rob Pike you’re dismissing. Rob Pike.

Murray Rosenbaum has also left Facebook. IYKYK
David Lynch lives on in my daily carry. Cell phone wallpaper and keychain.
RIP David Lynch. I’m sure he is in the White Lodge.
I support Pete Hegseth, as the ultimate DEI hire.
Buh bye, Facebook!
Time to dust off those North Korean Juche slogans.
No, it’s scripting and the ability to compose commands. Avoiding Windows is a nice side effect.
Elderly patron. Senior official. So it’s cool to be old again?
Josh, Kate: who are you wearing?
Wait. That’s something a nominee has to *agree* to?
PopOS is a fantastic Linux distribution for the average user. If you are browsing and need an office suite, use Firefox and LibreOffice. Free, solid apps, stable environment, compatible with just about any hardware, ***flawless updates***. It just works.
Same. I thought it was just me being dense.
Ronny Jackson was there first.
PopOS user says huh?
“design” lol
Good time for a new OS too. I love Pop OS, a Linux Ubuntu variant, that Just Works, including through upgrades. Run it on a System 76 Darter, great combination.
