    No ma’am, this is a Wendys drive thru.

    But really, I think you misunderstood the intended inference from OP, it has nothing to do with email and everything to do with data collection, algorithms, and not quite fair use media access that get’s logged to Google (a third party) ad infinitum.

    Yes, you’re the asshole.

    Stop jerkin off to people you know by creeping on their social media, it’s mentally unhealthy, it shows your lack of empathy in your relationship, it shows a lack of self control, it shows a lack of respect for the people you creep on, and it’s unethical to do it without those people’s permission.

    My 2001-era Sharp Zaurus SL-5500 PDA had the best slide out keyboard ever made, nothing has come close at all. A CF wifi card brought it so close to being a smart phone before there were smart phones.

    I would buy it today as a phone if they’d just remake the original with an updated linux with QT equivalent option and updated screen hardware.

    You are maybe conflating stability with convenience.

    “Why is this stable version of my OS unstable when I update and or install new packages…”

    The entire OS falling down randomly on every distribution during normal OS background operations was always an issue or worry, and old Debbie Stables was meant to help make linux feel reliable for production server use, and it has done a decent job at it.

    To an extent. Early 90’s I could navigate WordPerfect in DOS faster than I’ve ever been able to work in MS Word, because it was all keyboard even before I learned proper home key 10 finger typing in high school. Technically my first word processor was Wordstar on one of those Osborne “portable” computers with the 5-inch screen when I was a young kid, but Wordperfect was what I did my first real ‘word processing’ on when I started using it for school projects. So I might just be older in that ‘how do you do fellow kids’ in this sort of discussion.

    To this day, I still prefer mc (Midnight Commander, linux flavored recreation of Norton Commander that does have a Windows port (YMMV on the win port)) to navigate filesystems for non-automated file management.

    I’ve been thoroughly conditioned for mouse use since the mid-late 90s (I call it my Warcraft-Quake era, we still used keyboard only for Doom 1/2 back in the early days), and I feel like it’s a crutch when I’m trying to do productive work instead of gaming. When I spend a few days working using remote shells, I definitely notice a speed increase. Then a few days later I lose it all again when I’m back on that mouse cursor flow brain.

    I’d like to see a hand counting vs the scanned electronic databasse counts that get used as the sacrosanct count data. Something just feels off. But hey, it’s Florida, we reap what we sow.
