I started with PowerPPC back in the '90s (it did not even ship with a working X system). Then went to Debian a few years later, and it was great. I played around with Gentoo for a little while when it first came out, then ended up back on Debian after a couple months. Then I played around with Arch for a little when it showed up, then went back to Debian. After that I just said fuck it, and have stuck with Debian. I run testing/unstable unless it’s some side server I have, in that case I just run stable. I hear good things about OpenSUSE and Fedora, but at this point I’m old and don’t feel like trying something when I have no issues. Tiling WM and Vim. That’s about all I seem to need.

I think the most important context is minimum wage.

In 1982 a full-time job making $3.35 an hour is pulling in approx $6,700 a year. Or 14% of the price of a house.

In 2022, that same worker, working the same number of hours at minimum wage $7.25 an hour is bringing in $14,500 a year. Or 3.5% the price of a house.

The same for groceries. THAT is the fucked up part. It’s what happens when people seem OK with 50 trillion dollars going from the bottom 90% to the top 1% over the past several decades.

BeOS on my old PowerPC blew my mind in the late 90s.

DARE came to my HS in the mid-late 80s. A cop was standing at a table with various things on it. One of which was a big bag of weed. I said,“Damn! That’s a big bag of weed!” The cop replied, totally seriously,“THAT’S ENOUGH WEED TO KILL YOU!!!” My friends and I just laughed and walked away.

Old crew checking in. I still call it dope, and get side eyed for it.

That was the only thing that popped out to me.

That sea eagle is watching the fish under the ice just waiting for the Spring thaw.

I sinned. As always.

Well that makes more sense. I saw that quote and just noped out. I’ll see if anything is questioned in my area.

The info you enter is directly added to OpenStreetMap in your name

I try to minimize “my name” being out there.

What? Hitler is still running things there? Who knew?

LOL, you pushed some people’s buttons. Hilarious. I feel the same way.

Well this story just bummed me the fuck out. That dude needs to be in someplace for psychiatric help. Shithead sociopath.

I don’t think you’ll get anything that is a real drop in for Partiful.

Hopefully someone will answer with more experience. I was under the understanding that the Beaglebone images had pwm already installed and configured. The python looks pretty straightforward.

What are you interested in doing with the Beaglebone Black? Without that, not sure how to answer. If you’re just looking into learning *nix command line stuff, then there are a lot of tutorials out there.

I’d probably order more if it came with no driver to tip. I’m not sure if that a plus or a minus for me.

A principal I worked for one time asked me to write up a student survey. It annoyed me, so I wrote up the entire thing in that type of cringy try hard lingo. It backfired as she loved it and the students took it. The students in my class looked at me when they gave it to the school and said,“WTF sin_free?” I said sorry, they asked why, I explained the situation, they laughed and we moved on.

…and then blame the unused umbrellas.

I have to agree 100%. The slavish devotion of small brained regressive idiots to base 12 time keeping has bugged me for fucking ever. Swatch solved this decades ago, but people are too stuck in their “But this is what we’ve always used” bullshit mindset.
