Yep, to your point, it wasn't Trump who won two elections, it's Democrats that lost two elections that the electorate would have handed to them on a silver platter had they simply not continued to ignore the concerns of 80% of democratic voters in favor of a system that continues to punish poor people for trying not to be poor.

My very first linux box, which I still have and is still running today, is still on RedHat 3.0.3 that I got on a CD in a book from the Media Play in Poughkeepsie NY in 1996. Granted it is completely useless except as a samba server sharing the 1.6GB hard disk that is still in it (and still works). But, I keep it for posterity, and because I like having a monitor with xearth on it.

I could probably put a newer distribution on it but with only 24MB of RAM, the newer stuff would choke out on it.

Submission + - Google clamps down on Android developers with mandatory verification (nerds.xyz)

BrianFagioli writes: Google is rolling out mandatory developer verification for Android apps, and while it says the move is about security, it also means developers will now have to verify their identity and register apps with Google before they can be easily installed on devices. Google claims sideloaded apps contain far more malware than apps from the Play Store, but critics might argue this is another step toward tighter control over the Android ecosystem. Power users can still sideload using ADB or a new “advanced flow,” but Google is clearly adding friction to anything outside its system. Is this a reasonable security measure, or is Android slowly becoming less open than it used to be?

It's not injecting any wealth into rural communities. It's injecting wealth into a single or a small group of large landowners, who upon receiving said wealth will immediately pack up and move to a large city somewhere and live the high life until they go bankrupt a year later.
