Isn’t this a state and municipality decision?

Personally I am in favor of removing floyride from water. I think it’s stupid.

But I am fine with replacing that with free fluoride toothpaste for children.

Either way that is not a federal decision to make.

Yep, you gotta do what you gotta do. I could never blame anyone for that.

Then when you are your own boss you can do it your way!

It sure is a popular app regionally. Lots of people in different countries I know use it interchangeably at this point: when they say text, they mean whatsap. I get it.

But I will not support Meta, there is a line. I don’t need family or friends that cannot use open source alternative. Worse case, I just drop back to sms.

But work requires it? Or you happen to have work that needs to support many customers? I suppose I could see that, but work would then be a completely separate phone only for that purpose.

Life fair. It’s only trying to help you not have to use whatsapp.

And yet I am watching a re-resurgence of collecting crap began anew. Take vinyl for example: heavy, bulky, environmentally awful and on par with if not worse sounding than alternatives. But people want something tangible. Which I am also beginning to see with old collectables. Also art: there is a movement to get physical art since digital is not tangible and possibly not even made by a human.

China, silver, and plastic ware: I have seen an uptick in those as well which is bizarre. Is it just a matter of time till the cycle comes around again?

Every single ununtu release since Warty has been trouble. Ubuntu breaks. Does wetid things. Makes weird choices. Upgrades often fail.

I am surprised it took you this long to run into issues.

I agree, but I am not sure what that will look like. Restructuring? Bail out?

They currently don’t make anything anyone even wants. How long till they can retool and get competitive?

In any case, it would seem like whatever is promised to employees now may not be what they get in the future.

Might as well promise them anything. Boeing is likely to fold or require layoffs soon anyways.

I have been using openmediavault for years and years. Basically debian with some configuration already done for a web gui, quick access to shares and user controls, and a simple but ready docker setup for your containers. Extremely light weight.

I have unraid on a test server, but I just can’t see the point of using it over omv. Raid is not important to me, you have to make backup either way. Containers are containers, and a vm is not something I need

I now see the angle you were taking in your comment.

I read it as no one can stop you from growing it,

And I believe you are saying corpos will mass commercialize it just.like tobacco.

Thanks!

I am confused, tobacco is legal to grow for your own use.

No, it would be more like a poor craftsman who doesn’t recognize it when a tool is crappy. Ubuntu is always on the way to breaking, or is broken at the get go. I remember when they thought 4 was stable. It was not nearly compared to most anything else at the time.

Even recently I had to install Ubuntu for a project because that is what the vendor supported. Several things were broken post install. Default Ubuntu stuff that should have just worked. Par for the course. If you get past that, of course the mishmash of Snap management for feature incomplete software can be very trying for a new user, when other distros make it easy.

Most crashy breaky mainstream distro there is and always has been.

It’s barely tolerable.

But I did used to like the departure from blue themes like nearly everyone else.

You tell me the difference when that film is continuously converted to a gas in the atmosphere. So you are saying as long as it’s thin enough it’s not important to worry about?

No they have not phased out bpa for all aluminum cans. As of September Germany for example is still waiting for regulations on bpa.

Also in Srptember a new company is about to replace yet another attempt at.making a clean lining for aluminum because the bpa became bps etc.

A thin plastic film… in other words a plastic bottle.

Actually a resin. Made of BPA, which is released into the atmosphere during the recycling process. Which contributes to the 1 million pounds of bpa released every year.

Basically small amounts of plastic BPA, burned into the air for each and every can.

So no cans currently do not solve the plastics problem.

Their point was that buying a can just means you are buying a plastic container anyways, that happens to be reinforced with aluminum.

It’s still a plastic bottle.

I agree with this a lot. I really do not like the term “content”. It is like going to a recipe for some “slop”, like using a term that is just a catch all for everything tossed on a plate.

Art is great. Movies, music are also fine terms. And so is simply saying they made a video. Watering it all down to the term “content” is just so boring and mind numbing.

Time wasters.

I have yet to see a pet friendly hotel with vinyl floors. It’s always been wall to wall carpeting.

Personally I am all in favor of hard floors dogs or not. I stayed In hotel recently that mops the floors after every stay and that seems preferable to carpet and a vacuum.

But oddly enough, it was not pet friendly. The last two i stayed in with carpet were though.
