There is a setting now (in all types of client I think) to log out when you close down the browser. Your comment makes me realize that I probably want to NOT set that on at least one machine. I set that on the machines that are out and about.

For the server I’ve used gogs for many years. It was easy to set up and has a web interface. What client you use is really up to you with git.

It worked great for Rome for a long time, but yeah.

you mentioned you’ve used joplin. All my notes are in markdown and I’ve been using Obsidian instead. Obsidian includes support for mermaid and can render (relatively simple) flowcharts.

and so, spent money to travel and presumably stay someplace and eat food which actually might be a net gain to the economy given (we assume) the days off work were PTO time that would have been taken anyway?

How much to just torture him for awhile?

I’m not sure about the current state of the science but there were a bunch of studies that showed that first contact with Europeans had transmitted smallpox as early as 1520 which over the next couple hundred years wiped out maybe 50% or more of the native population in advance of colonization such that later arriving Europeans had the mistaken impression that the continent had always been largely empty when some estimates put the native population pre-colonization at 120 million or more.

I’m upvoting you because I know what you’re trying to say. Personally I don’t have a lot of time to game anymore but I vote with my wallet and I try to only buy games on steam that are linux native. I have found a lot of great indy games this way and I don’t feel like I’m “missing out”. Still, I get it.

oh this one is going to be so pissed when they find out they also re-mapped the keyboard shortcut /s

Yeah! Once you’ve spent all your money traveling you can just sell your… oh wait.

I never stopped using RSS but its always been an additional source not the sole source of info for me. A lot of folks I’ve followed on various social media or who write for online mags have a personal site where they post long-form stuff. RSS is great if you want to just get a list of those authors latest posts and you don’t want to sort through thousands of other stories to find them.

Personally I like using the Livemarks add-on in Firefox because I’m already in the browser anyway and I can manage those bookmarks using the standard bookmarks manager to keep them in any organizational structure I find convenient. Here’s the github page but you can search for it in Firefox Add-ons as well: https://github.com/nt1m/livemarks/

In a 2019 hearing scrutinizing the merger, Legere told the House Subcommittee on Communications and Technology that after combining with Sprint, T-Mobile would have thousands more employees than the stand-alone firms combined in its first year.

“By 2024 we will have 11,000 more employees,” Legere said, according to a transcript of the hearing.

“Our critics are wrong about the impact on jobs,” Legere added, responding to a skeptical analysis from the Communications Workers of America labor union. “I have looked at their arguments and supposed analyses and they do not make sense. They ignore the facts. They don’t account for any areas where jobs will grow, like network integration or new customer call care centers.”
