Which is really really sad. When I was younger I used to think we just need these old people to age out of the system and my generation can do things better. We seem to be doing significantly worse.

This isn’t a generational thing. For a start, he’s technically Gen X, not a boomer. And secondly, I’m older than him and I’m just as happy about that as everyone else.

I was thinking that the only disappointing thing about this situation is that it won’t cause his family(*) the hardship it would cause yours or mine.

• by family I mean anyone close to him that has been happy to live off his money.

I understand the downvotes you’re getting, but this take isn’t far off the level of cynicism I’m feeling now.

Exactly - I’m still very happy with my 4a. A used 5, 6 or 7a would be very cheap and very usable.

I’d be curious to know what the people downvoting this don’t agree with?

It might be expensive, but still worth a short visit. I’ve got a shockingly bad memory, but I’ll never forget the awe I felt waking up to a view of the Alps.

Almost a chuckle

I must be old - it’s WordPerfect to me.

I’m fairly certain it is only anonymous “on paper”. Behind closed doors, they know where it came from and what is expected in return.

Where do you live that Antarctica is “up”?

Once an end-to-end, encrypted, connection is established between a pair of peers then anything can be sent through it. The establishment proces is generally facilitated by a server of some description so neither peer needs to allow inbound connections. (I’m a long, long way from being an expert on this and happy to be corrected - but this seems like network fundamentals?)

I thought I was doing well with 8 down and 20 up! In my defence - a lot of the stuff I’m seeding is old (10+ years) and I’m the only seed.

Agree the editing looks good, but I don’t feel the template fits. I don’t think the orange one is capable of the realisation and self reflection depicted in the last panel.

On a Commodore64?

This argument goes around and around every time someone says ACAB. There is a culture of protecting your own in police forces - it seems to happen all around the world. This culture causes otherwise good cops to overlook actions of their peers that shouldn’t be overlooked. If you let someone get away with something illegal, when your job is to uphold the law, then you are not doing your job and are really not a good cop after all - you’re just as bad as your peers. ACAB is a much simpler way of saying all that.

I’m really dismayed by your political system - I can’t put into words how much it disturbs me. I know it’s a good thing that the Harris Walz campaign is doing well, but all I hear when seeing news like this is how much money politicians are taking from “average” people to give to insanely rich advertising firms, to develop ads, and even more insanely rich media corporations, to run them. It’s messed up.

Wow, that brings back memories. Slackware 3.x was my into to Linux in the '90s.

No, I didn’t.

But there’s no future profit for Sonos in them providing the ability for us to play music we already own from our own library.
