@WaardRichard@social.edu.nl yeah but I'm old and lazy. I have too much to do and not enough brain power to do it all. I was hoping for someone to do the research for me :D

@the_wub@mastodon.social I actually got myself suse certified several years back but haven't used it in quite a while. I have also used FreeBSD. That might be a good idea to go back to. Thanks

It looks like #Ubuntu is going to start adding #AI features so I need to find a new operating system. Anybody have suggestions for a good alternative to #Kubuntu?

@MissConstrue if you started a porn site, I would never see it because the state of Missouri requires age verification and that ain't going to happen.

@georgetakei@universeodon.com it's a cult and he is the cult leader. It doesn't matter what he says, they will follow him. They will happily cut their nuts off, put on their Nikes, and kill themselves if that's what he wants.

@Gargron@mastodon.social @fesshole@mastodon.social Given that males are over represented in tech and that 1 in 12 of us are color blind, I am puzzled why major software vendors continue to make bad choices. One system I use uses little colored dots to indicate the status of components. They all look the same to me. Rage inducing.
