talarico putting his religion so forward made me very skeptical, but then seeing *the way* he put his religion forward made me go from "hesitant" to "yeah, okay, I can be fine with this"

The only two places success comes before work are a) the dictionary and b) time-travel research.
i don't believe i've posted about crockett/talarico at all, so: one nice thing about yesterday is that it was a "I'm basically going to be happy no matter what" sort of election than a "can't wait for the good person to lose to someone who sucks shit" sort of election don't get those too often

Yesterday I read an interview with the singer in a punk band who uses GenAI to help with writing his texts.
Punk. The whole point of punk was that if you know how to play 3 cords badly and have something to say just fucking go for it.

Reclaiming the past: was Kurt Cobain trans? https://medium.com/@dr.ow.sy/reclaiming-the-past-was-kurt-cobain-trans-6386d3e20bad
While we don't know there's certainly a lot there, from Kurt saying they wished they had breasts to saying they identified and felt more comfortable with women and over and over again saying they did not identify as male and also saying they thought their soul was gay.
Honestly I have wondered this a lot myself, and I think there are two reasons I spent my entire "masc" era in grunge attire: it was the clothing that most abstracted away the sense of self, and there was something about Kurt in particular that I felt a lot of attachment to. So maybe I'm projecting. But I have long wondered so myself.

War, Politics...
It sounds very similar to Russia someday of past. I remember Russia said, "the special operation" at that time.
“We’re not at war right now, we’re four days into a very specific clear mission and operation,” - House Speaker Mike Johnson said.
Not to sound alarmist, but consider a future where you *must* use #Windows 12 because switching to #Linux is "illegal" thanks to Age Verification nonsense.
It's clear the Corpos are literally trying to remove the ability for anyone to use compute without their gatekeeping. The time to fight that is now.
due to DRAM supply chain issues, all interns will be required to memorize as many floating point numbers as possible.

The Smalltalk System Browser has survived for 40 years.
That’s not an accident: it solves the context problem extremely well.
But the real friction in modern Smalltalk may lie elsewhere: the lack of composition between IDE tools.

Success With FreeDOS on a Modern Platform

Break `ScrollableList` component into parts (#38059) by diondiondion has been merged! https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/commit/a70079968c55891e387b1c1e524bb314b9dfb033
In prep for the Windows 12 rollout, now is a good time to get your town's Linux Install Parties planned and advertised.
Here's my town's https://fxbginstall.party/
Here's a quick how-to guide to spinning one up in your town:
Goals:
- Install Linux on your neighbors' laptops. This preserves older laptops ( #permacomputing #ewaste prevention). This removes people from one part of the surveillance economy. And it saves people money.
- The party should be geared towards NON-TECHIES. This is NOT a Linux Users Group. This is not for enthusiasts. This for folks who just want their computer to work and let them do the basics. Bend the tech to the people, not the people to the tech.
Date and Time:
- Shoot for monthly parties. Try for a specific day of the week. Say the "First Saturday" or "Second Sunday" of every month.
- Easy for folks to remember and if they miss one month, they'll be there the next month
- Try for between two hours to four hours for the event.
- Be consistent. Show up for the full time even if no one shows up. Some times it takes two or three meetings before people start to come regularly.
Location:
- Shoot for a public community area
- The best bet is your local library if they have rooms or conference areas.
- City community centers are good, too
- Also look for religious institutions, civic orgs, or fraternal orgs if need be. It needs to be open to
the public, though, with no requirements to push other agendas on to visitors.
Linux Distro:
- Shoot for a single distro that caters to folks who are new. I usually go for Linux Mint, but go with what you like. Focus on ease of use and familiarity for folks who arent used to Linux or various Desktop Environments.
Waivers & Backups:
- Everyone should sign a waiver. You keep the signed waiver. They can have a copy of the waiver
- Explain that while you and other volunteers will make your best attempt to install Linux, you make no guarantees. You may brick their machine accidentally. And no files that were on the harddrive will remain. Everything will be deleted.
- They should make backups of their files before you start the install process (either online/cloud, or local on a USB)
- Some folks want you to try for a dual-boot, but thats up to you if you want to offer it. Still let them know that you might brick the machine even (especially?) if you try for a dual boot install.
- Example Waiver: https://tldp.org/HOWTO/Installfest-HOWTO/legalprotection.html
Advertisements:
- Create a simple brochure website and fliers with info and time and date
- Use words like "Update to a modern, private, and fast operating system. No monthly subscription. No cost. Volunteers will install for you." Appeal to folks whose laptops cant upgrade. "Can't install Windows 11 or 12? Don't throw your laptop away, install Linux. It's free, up to date, and secure" Etc etc.
- Use your town's local social media (eg Town Subreddit, Online/Offline Classifieds, Library Announcements, Town Events Page)
- Post fliers in various coffee shops, libraries, bars, restrooms, and community centers
- Tell other similar groups (hacker spaces, maker spaces, linux groups, etc) both to spread the word and get volunteers
- Word of Mouth: Just tell everyone you run into. And tell them to tell everyone they know.
What to bring:
- Multiple install media/USBs with your Distro on it to install on the laptops
- A couple "Demo Laptops" with your distro of choice installed for people to try out (install games, office suites, common programs for folks to try it out - aim for what people use so various browsers including Firefox and Chrome, Zoom / Teams, LibreOffice, MS Office on browser, browser games, desktop games, etc)
- Your own laptops to do internet lookups and specialized downloads (weird stuff happens - its good to be prepared)
- Extension cables and power strips
- Cheap USBs for last minute backups prior to installation that folks can take home with them
- Some screwdrivers or tools to open up laptops for light repair if you like
What to do:
- Greet folks as they come in and invite them to try out the demos
- Encourage questions and discussions (AVOID DISTRO FLAME WARS OR WHICH WINDOWS MANAGER BEATS WHAT DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT FOR FUCKS SAKE! THESE ARE NORMAL PEOPLE DONT SCARE THEM AWAY WITH YOUR NERD SHIT!!!!)
- If folks brought laptops for installation explain and have them sign their waivers, make sure they know all files will be deleted, ask if they've made backups, and then install!
- Help folks troubleshoot issues or install programs for those that already have Linux installed and need community support
That's it. Make it a regular occurrence and you'll get folks coming in for fresh installs monthly and to ask for help with previous installs. Also a really chill way to meet other folks and have a lovely afternoon.
If you have any questions, post up in this thread.
If you have any suggestions or tips and tricks that have worked at your own Linux Install Party, share with us as well!

It became a topic of conversation last night at the #manchester #Velodrome because of the cranks I put on it (short, square taper) but it clearly worked with him winning all the sprints and finishing joint 1st in the points race.
Looking forward to Newport this weekend!
Thanks 
@pop_os_officialPop!_OS 
for resetting every single UI setting and configuration with the 24.02 update. Definitely the way I want to spend my morning, setting my computer back to the way I had it.
Unreasonable complaining on my part is unreasonable. Don't execute a major OS update before you've had your coffee.
