@lunduke "Maybe the internet wasn't such a good idea"
You have my view, just let me get on the internet real quick to see it :P
I wouldn't know what not having internet technologies would be like, being a relative whippersnapper
@lunduke that is unfortunately the world we live in. I wish people could just be nicer instead of immediately getting defensive
@lunduke @lunduke I thought you might be interested in checking out my website, also built entirely with html and css (although sadly it is using html5 and whatever the latest version of css is). Check it out:
I also have a gopher hole where I'm making a (WIP) text based adventure game entirely with text files and links.
And yes, gopher is definitely still alive. You should totally set up a gopher frontend for your video archive, that would be rad as heck.
@lunduke #linuxthursday With the end of Linux Journal do you think there's any hope for real journalism to succeed in the future, or are we doomed to a profit motivated politically charged ad infested dystopia of clickbait headlines? #lessyelling #morehugging
Life moves in circles,
In cycles, and swings
Like planets round the sun
Or like similar spacey things.
"Users who decline to share footage through the app may have police showing up at their door asking them to share in person if online requests don't work out. Law enforcement can also go to Amazon directly with a valid legal demand and bypass the user's consent to access the footage entirely." #privacy https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2019/08/dont-call-our-surveillance-products-surveillance-ring-tells-police/
@gbryant ooh, sweet
@lunduke what is the best linux distro in your opinion, good sir? And (if this is different) what was the best linux distro release? I have seen your video on the worst, but I'd like to ask for #linuxthursday what you prefer.
Yeah, baby.
Matt Hartley is back.
Get your Linux-y questions and topics in now with the hashtag #LinuxThursday.
I cut caffeine off about a week ago (going from a lot of sodas per day to zero), and had no issues. Even felt slightly better, and it seemed to help my natural sleep cycle, cause I can wake up earlier and feel better.
Then I tried to cut off sugary foods, and it has been HARD. Especially since there are always a lot of cookies at work, and a gas station within walking distance with lots of candy. But worse, I've had this hunger that won't get satisfied till I have a sugary drink or something.
@kyle someone needs to make this cover and publish it, cause I can't not hear the melody with it.
I can't speak for the rest of the @linuxjournal archive, but I own the decade+ worth of articles I wrote. A lot of them are just as relevant today (I refer to them myself quite often). Would anyone be interested in some kind of "Best of Hack and /" polished and updated compilation?
@kyle @linuxjournal I would like that
Yesterday, me and my coworker were discussing philosophy (specifically, the convo started with me saying that "I think, therefore I am" is stupid). We ended up talking about the nature of sentience and free will for about an hour, and it made me realize how much I miss having someone to discuss philosophy with at odd times.
