I remember when the GNOME file manager was this kind of interesting hybrid that used MC for the backend. The one thing I liked about it was that it could be docked in Window Maker. Yep I was using a Dock in GNOME waaaaaaaaaaaaaay before most GNOME users.

Nowadays it's still possible to replicate my old Window Maker desktop in XFCE.

I'm gonna laugh my ass off if someone finds out there was some obscure Emacs fork or clone designed to run Clojure or something, and it's named Again

I tried that once. Don't eat the Milk Duds that come out of a rabbit, trust me, they taste like shit.

I spent a few minutes setting up a Plasma desktop to resemble what I like about GNOME Shell. A screenshot doesn't do it justice imho. Application Dashboard on Meta, Overview on Meta-W, a Panel and Icons-Only Task Manager set to Autohide at the bottom of each screen, and the Tiling Manager.

I gave up on it because I've tried logging in via Jeroba, Connect, and Voyager on my phone, and no bueno. I don't mind putting in some effort but eventually I give up.

That's what bugs me about modern phone design, though. They could put Otterbox-type protection right on the phone and that'd be fine for most people. Personally have an S23 and I think it's unnecessarily ugly, thin, and easy to drop, when it's not in a case.

I'll give kind of the opposite story. An Illinois town's PD has made the news at least twice for chasing a UFO. In the 80s they were on some TV special about unexplained events, talking about the time they chased a triangular-shaped UFO for a long time. I remember watching that, and then going to the nearby air base for an air show, complete with a triangular-shaped stealth bomber...

It's quickly turning into another Parler or Truth Social

FYI if you decide to dual boot at some point you can set Windows to use UTC. It's even less intuitive than how systemd can be set to local time.

Also if you can, if you decide to dual boot I recommend separate drives. Windows has gotten nicer but it still doesn't play well with others because, let's be honestly, most of the time it doesn't have to. So if you run recovery if Windows doesn't boot, it's not unusual for it to nuke EFI like it's still the 90s and Win98 just nuked LILO.

I went a few years with just a single boot system at home and you definitely learn a lot that way lol

Well I don't think he meant anything other than that he probably agrees with the lyrics. Four people wrote the song and he's not one of the songwriters. Also he's not from a small town.

Oh, I don't know. There's lots of towns across the US that only came to be because it was a water stop. And in those towns the tracks still exist and the people living there commute to work.

The little town I grew up in had a trainyard and that's why it existed. The yard is gone but there's still active train lines going through town.
