@ChrisShort Yow!

For the first time, you'll be able to stream the Super Bowl for free. I like that price!

True!

50 years. It's been 50 years since Bob Dylan released Blood on the Tracks. That was the album that brought me back to Dylan. I loved his work through the 60s, but everything after Nashville Skyline wasn't that good for me. Then came Blood on the Tracks, and I was blown away once more.

@vwbusguy I wish.

He's not wrong.

Linux Mint 22.1 is primed and ready for release - and I'm excited https://www.zdnet.com/article/linux-mint-22-1-is-primed-and-ready-for-release-and-im-excited/ by @sjvn

The latest Linux Mint is out, and, as always, it's not just a great #Linux desktop; it's a great desktop operating system, period.

@bouncing With those holes? No, mmWave will go right through it.

Putting a Wi-Fi router in a Faraday cage is one way to have a secure network. A totally useless way, mind you, but it's one way.

@AAKL Nothing paranoid about it. They need new subscriptions and they need them now. I just canceled mine, but it still has months to run before it expires.

@AAKL Huh. That's new.

@AAKL Huh. It shouldn't be. Try:

A good story about R.E.M. Maybe it is better to fade away than to burn out.

@mjg59 The simple fact that they've enabled RMS for so many years has long bothered me. Yes, he had a couple of great ideas that were seminal for free software and open source. But, he's also dragged the FSF into the mud.

@onamaewa2 It's from the classic 1998 book Linux Application Development, by Michael K. Johnson and Eric W. Troan.

OK, so maybe Unix and Linux aren't the friendliest operating systems.
