About 2 weeks ago I announced I was going to write a translingual book (English to Esperanto) https://t.co/BLHqVkeM6d

I am glad to say that after a lot of brainstorming and work, I finished the outline today. Now the real work starts.

Can we all agree to call this whole age check verification business "The Jeffrey Epstein Distraction?" Call it what it is, then legislators might be embarrassed into more sensible action.

Breasts on the internet don't hurt kids, letting the Epstein class off the hook does.

quick PSA:
If a bee bothers you, do NOT wave it away with your hands. Use your breath to blow it away.
In the former case, they will see you as a threat. In the latter, they think it's just the wind.

@brockpierson I have but floppies were cheap and prone to failure. I have lost data this way. Some things were better in the past. Floppies aren't it.

@Itsfoss Removing a distro is kind of against the ethos of open source. The idea is more that you just don't use what you don't like. I do totally get the feeling about RHEL however. I remember when Red Hat were the heroes; before IBM bought them.

@brockpierson Yes, I am old enough. Thanks for reminding me.

@CensoredTube He is just your average crazy person who does that on a regular basis. His youtube channel is full of this type of content. Given that it's not his last video, I'd say he got out. The cries for help are not in the original.
