Sidetracked? With all those slow news days?

I already wrote to Josh about this, but perhaps this subset of the TPM fan base will find this interesting. Josh’s post about his sailboat inspired me to build one too. I finished the boat this past summer, and named it Floating Point Memo.

Would he want to?

But he isn’t now. What is the point he is trying to make?

This is, again, projection, but in a more disgusting way than previously.

If only Jerry Falwell were still with us, to point out that this is God sending a message.

Well, we did elect Trump twice.

That is correct. I’m not sure what the mixture is, but the taxes paid by individuals to the federal government must be enormous.

How? We pay federal taxes directly, state governments are not involved.

How about an OS that is free, secure, free of bloatware, runs on old hardware, just works, and upgrades seamlessly?

Something like 800 of the most senior US military leaders were present for today’s lunacy. I’d love to be a fly on the wall when they go out for a beer afterward.

Yeah, but he looks fantastic in the painting he keeps in his attic.

Who are the Democratic senators who voted for this nonsense? I am so far unable to find a list online.

Talking Points Memo

The Democrats? You mean, the guys in blue states who subsidize the red states?

So — take away our money regardless of guilt? He’s finally seeing the light on tariffs!

Susan Collins’s brow is so furrowed that she has to seek medical attention.

When Dick Dale discovered it, it stayed discovered.

I think that I tried that one. I don’t remember why I rejected it.

Remmina is the best that I’ve found, but scrolling is broken. RealVNC is commercial, so I didn’t try it.

I programmed C++ in the 90s. I peek in every so often out of morbid curiosity. It just seems to get more complex and bloated every time, and I’m happy to be out of it. Yes, this is a pretty uninformed opinion.

It was such a huge disappointment.

The guy made Blade Runner and Alien! Should have stopped after those.

I searched it out again, to control a Mac from Linux. Synergy 3 seems better than Synergy 1 was. Can’t speak about Windows, but I have no complaints. It’s better than ever.

Related: I haven’t found a good VNC app to access a Mac from Linux. Any suggestions?

YES. Following was his best. Interstellar, Inception, Oppenheimer, Tenet: dull, bloated messes. What a fantastically overrated director.

Pop OS (an Ubuntu derivative) on System76 hardware. It works out of the box, updates are flawless, support is fantastic. For basic computer usage, it blows away Windows and MacOS.

We here for you

I built a boat!
