  • Mozilla did something good!

    Jump

  • Thanks so much for the informative and detailed reply. That pretty much answers every question.

    Thanks also for the tip about LMDE. I actually really like Mint, I’m only switching because it’s the only distro I’ve tried and I feel like I should shop around a bit. Going to Debian because while starting my journey I want to shop around with things that work, rather than having to learn how to tinker all at once just to get things running. But if I decide I need Mint back I’ll probably check out LMDE for the hell of it.

  • Can you expand on this a little for a new guy who is considering a switch from Mint to Debian?

    In my understanding Firefox ESR is like a stable, longstanding version that doesn’t get frequent little updates but still gets occasional large updates. (Like 1.0, 1.1, etc. rather than 1.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, etc.)

    Is there a measurable difference in the user experience and or security of ESR?

    And is Debian actually restricted to ESR?

  • Not sure if I need to learn to write more clearly, or you need to learn to read.

  • Because there are plenty of real life or death issues Trump is squarely on the wrong side of and can and should be attacked on.

    Deconstructing and attacking every bit of verbal diarrhea that dribbles out of his fat fucking mouth is a waste of time and accomplishes nothing.

  • If I’m understanding this right, your judges are selected by the Judicial Appointments Commission, and the commissioners of the JAC are chosen by senior judges?

    That seems like an extremely effective way of keeping the court independent. It may turn one direction or another over a long period of time, but it isn’t beholden to the whims of whatever fat orange fascist is holding elected office at the time.

  • What’s going on with your capitalization? I spent way too much time looking for hidden messages and came away with nothing except the - entirely unrelated - hypothesis that you are German.

    You’re right, that is easy to remember!

  • It wasn’t actually Hemingway. Versions of the story can be found from 1906 when Hemingway was 7, and there is apparently no mention of a connection between him and the story before the 1990s.

  • Musk doubles down on creating new party after poll says nearly half of Americans would support it: ‘Encouraging’

    Jump

  • It doesn't matter if Musk’s party is centrist or far right. The point is, if it pulled enough support to destabilize 2 party elections, that opens up space for more parties to legitimately enter the political arena. It could cause a domino effect that would open space for the rise of a true left party.

  • Musk doubles down on creating new party after poll says nearly half of Americans would support it: ‘Encouraging’

    Jump

  • That could be a great thing. If Musk launched a party with large enough base support of clueless morons to destabilize both Rep and Dem parties, that would create space for the creation of a liberal/left party, and suddenly we have escaped the crushing gravity of the two-party system.

    That said, I doubt Musks party would have even a fraction of the support that is suggested.

  • That’s a fair question. My most honest answer isn’t a very good one: I can’t stand it.

    Linguistically, I don’t get it. “Fixing to” doesn’t seem to offer any benefit over “about to” or “going to” and as far as I can tell it doesn’t have any logical meaning at all.

  • Fair enough. I do think that connotation doesn’t necessarily carry over to the “gonna” and “finna” forms, but it’s a good point.

    That said, “fixing to” still grates on my brain in ways I can’t begin to describe.
