Why do people on Rotten Tomatoes feel they need to give star ratings to a movie they haven't seen yet?? (i.e. 5 stars "I can't wait to see this!", or 1/2 star "This movie looks dumb, I am not going to waste my time.")

Vasco CostaLet me take this opportunity to say thank you to the admins of the LinuxRocks instance of #Mastodon and its amazing community of users.
Sorry, that should be “through hole.”
Tried my hand at soldering tiny surface-mount LEDs for the first time tonight. It’s my first attempt at working with solder paste and a heat gun. I have to say that I prefer through-hold components — and I am thankful for cheap eBay kits for practice.
I am <sigh> required to use Windows 10 instance for a client engagement a couple of times a month. I installed WSL (ubuntu) on it just to play around with a few months back and I forgot my password. I was looking through some online documentation and discovered that you could log on to to WSL as root just by changing a default from a non-elevated Windows command prompt. I then changed my password. I am sure that WSL isn't intended for serious production use, but it still made me laugh.
I think politics gives me a rash. I need to stop reading the news for a few days and do something cathartic.
Nolan LawsonBeing an open-source maintainer is really hard. A lot of people tend to act very entitled towards you, as if you "owe" them your time or your attention.
It's totally illogical: you put something out there for free, and now because of that, folks feel like they deserve more of it! And yet this is often the prevailing mood in OSS communities.
At the same time, you may start to believe this logic yourself, leading to "open-source guilt." This often ends in burnout.
Who’s a fan of #Openbox and why? If you use it, do you add docks and panels like plank and tint2? I installed Crunchbang onto my test rig just so that I could get some experience with it.
It amuses me that they bother to encrypt the free DVD that comes with a Barbie doll. These are the things you learn when you have a young daughter.
Just got finished rebuilding my main desktop after a chain reaction of bad stuff that started when I updated to kernel 4.13.0-26. I decided to switch back to xubuntu 16.04. Xfce is like an old, comfortable pair of jeans. It just works. Will probably upgrade again when 18.04 comes out.
