How to cover up leaving 10 minutes late!

Agreed, I run Brics CAD on my linux box.

I only chose Brics CAD over AutoCAD/Draftsight because they have a NATIVE linux version. This is for 2D CAD work only.

I haven't had a need for the 3D stuff yet.

Climate change.

In the mid 90's when the data was becoming more mainstream, I felt that there wasn't enough info to make a decision on it, looking back from now there was but the O&G lobby was muddying the waters as much as possible.

A few years later, ~97/98; I had read enough studies and seen enough data to accept that, yes; we were changing the climate, and yes; we need to do something about it.

It has shaped a lot of the decisions I have made in the last 25+ years.

BTW electric power tools kick arse.

How would that make him a non-billionare?

He paid $44B for Twitter, even if it completely failed and he could realize no value from any of the assets. $44B is a small portion of his wealth.

Legend.

Always found that strangely motivating.

 

About 1000 internet years ago. I saw one of those "demotivation" posters and I want to find out again.

The text was something along the lines of

Don't wait to be corrupted, embrace the evil inside. Be the chaos you want to see in the world.

Termux + syncthing cli + tasker

But this is not a solution for those that you do family tech support for.

I was reminded of the same thing.

It sucks that Syncthing is discontinuing its android app

It would be up near the top of my list.

This is one of the many things I use Syncthing for.

The problem is not "Syncthing users" it is the others that we bring along with us.

I already have F-Droid on my phone, but the dozen others that I have promoted Syncthing to over the years do not. This is going to cause a bunch of problems.

This is much more important than what you portray here.
