Oliver Sacks was a great author. His case studies of neurological impairments are well written, empathic, fascinating and haunting. I would highly recommend The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat.

@carl well, KDE 3 (maybe even 3.5) was out when I first switched to Linux (coming off of WinXP). So a tabbed file manager, integrated shell, the ability to view images/PDFs without having to open another window were all new and great. Then KDE 4 landed pretty rough. It's probably a lot of unwarranted nostalgia, I also had a lot more free time to mess with things back then.

One thing I don't miss: manually modifying my xorg.conf

I finally decided to look into managing #Kobo #ereader shelves/collections with #calibre. Why did I wait so long? It was so easy and makes finding titles so much easier!

Here's what I followed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEoQGwPN8wg

Gets me everytime...

@niconiconi @ScriptFanix @philipwhite "should have been retired long ago". A lot of times the weaker algorithms are simply being used to detect transfer errors or benign accidental changes instead of malicious intent. Heck, it took me a decade to get the company I work at to move away from identifying file revisions by timestamps.

@niconiconi does this provide a simultaneous collision with SHA1 and MD5?

@pine64, or anyone else, does #PineBookPro clear up most of the freeze/crash/instability issues that the #PineBook experienced? Was there a better OS to use than Neon?

@immychan try learning that no one is willing to figure out the bootloader on your phone. The Sprint Samsung S7 has no info on how to flash. Patiently waiting for @PINE64 to find and hammer out #pinephone issues.

@immychan but you can have #kde #plasma 😁

I never used Unity, but I can empathize. I still miss KDE 3. It was the perfect desktop for me. To this day I still wish that Konqueror was the file manager over Dolphin.

@SuperRobotDeluxe@niu.moe @Main_Tomato@uwu.social wasn't startpage bought by another company? Did the new owner keep the privacy aspect?

@immychan didn't Dragon Ball turn 30 last year? 😆

@immychan have you made sure the modem supports the bands for your service provider? I wanted a #librem5 until I saw it didn't support the bands of the best provider in my area.

@immychan moar #mycroft! Grab a raspberry pi and a microphone and install! It's been a while since i checked in on Mycroft, did they decentralize the platform? I know the idea was being entertained at one point...

@rimugu ok, point taken. Modeling off of the accreditation program would side step that. But, what is the solution you see working?

@rimugu I am unfamiliar with the idea of "evolutionism". But no oversight would allow TX to continue to down play or even erase slavery, segregation, and Jim Crow from textbooks. /That/ seems like pushing an agenda. As far as Texans doing something about it, TX was under statewide coverage of the 2008 renewal of the Voting Rights Act. The people most impacted by the legacy are probably not getting heard.

Your belief that the gov't will brain wash doesn't make it so.

@rimugu there are real examples of states doing harm (e.g. TX textbooks) and of why/how the federal gov't could provide oversight (interstate trade, uni accreditation, blood alcohol limits for road funding). You, however, have not provided examples of brain washing you merely assert it. Your arguement seems to be that real harm should be allowed to continue because of the percieved potential of other harm. At best this seems like a slippery slope fallacy.
