Not only malware, but the sh-t that is floating high on X.

Which means that Firefox works properly on that aspect. Good.

Conservatives are afraid. They (at least the professionals and the GOP as an organisation) are well aware that they are on course to get irrelevent in the future. Not only are their politicians getting older, their voter base is getting older and shrinking. So the try everything in the book to stay relevant: Gerrymandering, reducing access to the voting process fro people who are unlikely to vote for them, etc. And as we all know, fear, or worse, existencial dread, leads to hate for the other side, the group of people seen as their very threat to their existence.

They are basically cornered rats, clawing and biting the pest control man.

I can only import multipage PDFs in 1.3.2. Export produces a bunch of single-page PDF files. What version do you use?

I’ve got Inkscape 1.3.2 and so far I have not found to export it as one multipage PDF, only as a batch of numbered single-page PDFs.

Absolutely. And I think a proper “Export to PDF” in Inkscape is something that should be high on the list of “future features” in Inkscape. Editing the PDF in Inkscape is heaven, having to re-join the pages to one big PDF afterwards is (unnecessary) hell.

that it would have been huge fucking computer security news.

Nope. If someone found such a backdoor, it is more likely he/she sold it to the three letter agencies, who love hoarding vulnerabilities like that.

I stand corrected. Thank you!

There is an easily hackable and cheap device from IKEA by the name of “VINDRIKTNING”. There are YT videos on how to wifi-enable that thing and integrate it into home automation services.

It would give you a good chance to win a Darwin Award.

Yep. Denture cleaners are quite good for food-safe stuff. When we cleaned out grandmas flat, I put her cleaner tablets aside, astonishing the other family members with my move: “But you’ve got no dentures?!?!” Those pills are great for cleaning vases or thermos bottles.

In case you young whippersnappers have no clue what is so special about September:

Back then, the internet (and usenet, bitnet, talk) community had been nearly 100% academic. No idiots, no stupid loudmouths, no antivax moms, no politicians. Each September was an inflow of new students accessing the net for the first time, and it was up to the existing population to educate the newbies on things like netiquette and overall good behavior. People learned to use free and open services without abusing them. Back then, those newbies were usually quick to learn, so any problem arising from people who might cause issues usually was over within a few weeks.

Then, The Flood came. The Eternal September began. The time where AOL disks were so common that people used them as coasters. The Internet and all the services on it never were the same again. The existing netizens were no longer capable to educate new users on proper, civilized behavior, and usenet posts solely consisting of text like “me too” became common. It went downhill from there. Formerly open services closed up because of unmitigated abuse. One day, even lawyers invaded the net, people despicable things like Sanford Wallace, for example. You newbies today cannot imagine a time like it was before criminals like him invaded this space.

They are free to try. What shall they do if you say “No”?

If the other parties get their acts together, the PVV seats will not matter.

In the EU, they would tar & feather the automakers for even thinking about such an idea.

Most roads in the cities here are not even much use for cars alone…

Maybe in Exploitamerica. Here workers have rights, and putting someone on a graveyard shift just to restock is too expensive for the stores.

The first will make all bikers really happy. I’ve had the “pleasure” to ride my bike in a road with way to many tram rails on my way, and had to turn left at one point. That is definitely not fun.

And delivering outside busy hors means both the driver and the people in the shop have to work at insane hours. Will they be properly compensated for it?

Oh yes, this will make the tram users happy if they have to wait for half an hour behind a delivery tram that is unloading wares for the supermarket.

I do have an open mind, but that also means to be able to find the flaws in plans. And your idea has so many holes, it is practically a net.

You don’t need to believe me, just start to actually think it through.
