Or just don't connect your phone to it. That's what I do. I've never touched the "smart" screen in my car except to adjust the air conditioner.

Except the ones that aren't.

If he votes too much with the Republicans he'll lose party support. There's a reason party members tend to vote the same. Without party support he'll have a hard time getting reelected in a red district unless he flips parties again.

Sounds normal. The Linux kernel shipped by most distros detects (most of) the hardware automatically, and if you're using UUID mounts in fstab all your filesystems will be in the right place. Your network config is probably newly generated, but unless you're using wireless you probably won't notice.

You might check to see if Windows has deactivated itself.

I saw that as an adult and it fucked with me.

Oh, I've got no complaints about the article or even its title. Few people learn Perl or Raku these days so it would be surprising for most people.

I thought it was interesting myself - Perl's my go-to scripting language but I never used Raku. I might consider it next time I have a non-trivial scripting project.

I'm not sure why that's surprising. Raku started out as Perl 6. Perl was designed primarily for use in a shell environment. Convenience features like the arguments to MAIN bit are in line with Perl philosophy.

Everyone is gifted with the ability to control their own fertility. You're only fertile if you want to be. The only chance for pregnancy to occur is if both partners want it to.

I imagine that would cause a severe population decline, and I'm fine with that. There's too many humans on this planet already.

Some of the best Mexican food I've had was in Okinawa.

Where I really miss Mexican food is Spain.

It's got a fresh Lispy flavor, almost Schemey...

Why do I care about the state of the code? It works. Perhaps all these people complaining are really just sick of your proselytization.

To paraphrase Terry Pratchett, "You only get one life. You can pick up five causes on any street corner."

That's cool and all, but why would I want to? Display systems are invisible when they work right, and X has worked right for me (save for some pre-EDID config issues) since the 90s. I run a program, it pops up on my screen and I interact with it. That's all I ask of it.

None of the issues I've had with X (drivers, mostly) will be resolved with Wayland. For me, it's a solution in search of a problem. The only reason I have even a passing interest is that it's (theoretically) easier to maintain and change as computing changes.

I'll move to Wayland when I have to, but right now there's no reason to not use X.
