I was a altar boy in my teens.

i was expecting this to turn a different direction.

i remember what happened last time.

i remember almost losing the most important person in the world to me as a direct result of that asswipe.

i expect even worse than what i could possibly come up with on my own.

if xfce is what you want, try a custom install (using dvd1) and just pick xfce instead of the gnome default during tasksel. you will get a few desktop applications like libreoffice and firefox esr, but those are easily removed if you don’t want or want to replace them. using dvd1 as my install source, wired and wireless drivers were set up during install, were available during install, and were ready to go on first boot to xfce (on an am3 pavilion desktop test system).

duluth is ok, too, but the range has lost its political magic over the years.

the other college towns like mankato, moorhead, st cloud, bemidji are a lot redder than one would think they’d be, unlike some nearby college towns in wisconsin (eau claire, la crosse, superior. menomonie being an exception to those–it’s dunn gone red lately)

Trump’s cruelty is so innefficient

the cruelty is the point. he “hurts the right people”

record everything. skip the commercials.

the need for having them in an ad supported environment is understood. but it’s long since gotten out of hand as to how many there are. 8-10 minutes per hour when i was a kid to 20-22+ per hour now.

looks like you bricked it.

i have the same space, basically, at least i’m not sharing it anyone. very small. not really even room enough for a sofa and a bed unless i give up floor space to move or my small table and desk, and the bathroom is so narrow you have to shit at an angle.

i prefer 2000’s

they may stop pushing a phony, failed candidate, but they’ll start-in with lies and other bullshit instead.

timeshift should be available.

180 pieces of the ‘fun size’ they packaged back in the 1980s would have been a haul.

nowadays, ‘fun size’ means ‘teeny tiny pieces, big huge ripoff’.

i actually expected something quite a bit larger than this.

i thought i was the only one. i use one occasionally to keep downloads (ahem, updates) or streaming from sucking the internet connection dry… so i have some left for more important things, like doom scrolling and games. other times (or when the hub’s being used elsewhere) i just manually configure the os (in windows, ‘speed and duplex’ via device manager) to use a slower connection on the lan port. either method comes in handy here where the internet speeds range from “kinda sucks” to “at least it’s faster than dialup”

this is the way. easy. no install. no extra steps. update when you want.

or you can add the ppa that’s listed in the yt-dlp install instructions (scroll down to third-party package managers > apt) and use apt to install it like any other package.
