The whole fucking MAGA cult has their panties tied up in a tight little bunch. "DEI" and "wokeness" and all that. Ignoring the eminent qualifications of these astronauts.

Truthfully I think NASA is enjoying a little bit of trolling.

That's one way to broadcast ignorance of the Artemis Program

They haven't even been given clearance yet to leave the Earth's orbit, and proceed toward the lunar rendeveous, as of this writing.

I have found the experience more enjoyable lately. Fewer people at the showing means it's easier to find good seating and be spaced apart from the rest of the audience. Generally less likelihood of talkers, people unwrapping candy, and that farting lady who used to laugh like Roseanne at every goddamn scene. Seriously, fuck that lady.

They'll blame whoever Trump tells them to blame.

Is anyone interested enough to run Linux on ARM64 dumb enough to want this?

His tenure has overseen a high percentage of my headaches and profanity laden curses and rants directed at Adobe during my years as a sysadmin.

It's all relative.

People on Reddit like to bitch and moan about Apple's recent UI flubs (and by "recent', I mean the last 4 years or so) and Tahoe is probably the worst and most misguided abortion of Apple's once celebrated standards. But once you decide to move on with your life they quickly become easy to ignore. It still works just fine.

There's a reason he cited Apple II as an example. You might be alarmed to learn how much legacy code - decades old - is still run on equally aged hardware in production. Perhaps not on Apple II, but a recent example I saw was a rack of PDP-9's still in control of machinery at an observatory.

Then they're in luck, there's a USB3 port on the laptop.

Par for the course if you've been following Apple for the last few decades.

Anyone remember the $1000 "pro" monitor stand they used to sell?

Yes, it's that simple.

They (and I'll include Apple, and Google) have created a culture that expects an operating system to be fresh and new and interesting and exciting and not "boring". So this inspires change for the sake of change. Which in turn inspires shit like Windows 11 and "Liquid Glass". Which in turn cripples productivity.

I know the upgrade process is pretty seamless nowadays but unless there's some killer new feature in Cinnamon I just have to have (which hasn't really been the case) I just ride the LTS till EOL. I got other shit to deal with.
