  • A Pastor Who Rejects “Established Science” Decided Polio & Measles Vaccines Should Be Optional

  • This might be more effective if he was also listed as a pediatrician rather than "just" a pastor. Pastors are not publicly accredited or licensed to practice (the 1st Amendment actually makes that impossible). It's more impactful to state that a licensed doctor is saying that.

  • Writing a good text editor is something to be proud of, so that's awesome!

    I don't use any version of Commander on this machine, and I don't plan to. I used the original from Norton back in the day, but when Windows 3 hit, I used Norton Desktop to improve it (basically into what Win95 became), and never looked at a Commander interface again - if I want two side-by-side directories, I have a windowing system. I've tried emacs and vim briefly and they're well beyond what I'm ever looking for. geany is an option, but gedit seems to be doing the job. I've never heard of kate before this thread, I'll have to look it up. Never looked at nano, but I heard of it.

    Based on the interface and what I've needed it for, gedit works, and so does Sublime Text. Honestly, Notepad++ was/is my third-most-used text editor on Windows, behind M$ Edit (I have FreeDOS Edit in DOSBox) and M$ Notepad (replaced with xed, except the .LOG function, which is sorely missed). Npp is the one I use for editing HTML/XML, Excel functions, the odd Excel macro; and subtitle files, transcripts, and scripts (where line numbers matter and I need fixed-length lines). FocusWriter is #4 on both OSes.

  • Everything in the world is propaganda or advertising. You have a choice to believe it or not.

  • Cruz reportedly says Trump yelled and cursed over warning of midterm election ‘bloodbath’

    Jump

  • Fair enough :-)

  • DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI

    Jump

  • Yeah. I'm actually kind of upset that I have to type 'noai'. That should be the standard.

  • it's a simple question

  • Honestly, I think gedit might be the best play.

  • The only way I interact with Wine is through Bottles, honestly. It just doesn't seem worth the trouble to go through all that for a text editor.

  • I'm a Mint user, because I don't want to use Windows 11, and I realized that about 95% of what I was doing on Win10 was FOSS. The only thing I miss is Notepad++.

  • Hi.

    Jump

  • Anything that I care about enough for that is related to one of four things:

    1. Broken tech.
    2. Software or systems insufficient to the need, which stand in the way of either operations or profit (usually both).
    3. Directly involved with vendor or client ops, and needs to be fixed for operations to continue.
    4. Billing problems for clients or vendors which I cannot resolve on my own.

    Everything else, I can send an email or ask in a channel, rather than a private IM.

  • Hi.

    Jump

  • Sorry but no. If it's asynchronous and I don't need a response in a short time, I'll email you. If I say something on Slack to a person, and don't get a response in a short timeframe (~5 minutes), I go to someone else - whether that's a coworker or a manager. And when I get told, "you'll have to ask [unresponsive]", I say, "Oh, I tried to reach out to them, they didn't respond. Can you reach out and see if they're available?"

    That way, I've gotten somewhere closer to my answer, and I've put another person on the scent of the unresponsive one.

  • Until there's a physical product on shelves, I don't trust that it's not vaporware.

  • I would try to find another place to live, because that would lead to chaos.

  • Who still uses IRC and why?

    Jump

  • Matrix but with stronger community engagement, yes.

  • What are some free Android games that are really good?

    Jump

  • Thank you for confirming Endless Sky! I'm glad it runs well on both systems.

  • "illegal"

    Jump

  • That's certainly a choice, and one I've made in the past too. But I stand by the point that the law does not demand disrespect.

  • "illegal"

    Jump

  • There's a huge difference between hating an individual, and wanting the rule of law respected, I think. What's going on now is hatred and destruction, which abuses the name of the law. But saying, "this person is self-evidently in this place illegally, they should be tried and ejected", is not hateful. You can respect a person while saying they shouldn't be in a place.

  • Hartman is an evangelical grifter.

  • Who still uses IRC and why?

    Jump

  • I use it occasionally. The problem is, most of my communities are on Discord. Plus, rooms not being permanent on the server means that bots have to be hosted by someone, plus there's a severe lack of effective logging.

    Basically, all the problems that later chat programs solve, I keep missing on IRC. I want persistent rooms. I want federation & bridging between servers. I need trustworthy remote logs. Since I know a lot of that has been handled client-side, I don't understand why it can't be implemented server-side with IRCv4 or whatever is next.
