@willowbl00 I strongly agree - even though my mom was the person in my life who needed tech support; she had been willing to deal with tech stuff for decades, but her vision started going in her 70s and she never was able to use the web, just email and word processing/mailing list software on her Mac after my dad was gone.
@Affekt @willowbl00
I used to do Mac support for my department head, even though I didn't have a Mac and we had people who did know them. I knew how to plug and unplug all the parts of the printer system, which was the usual thing that went wrong, and was good at doing support for users who needed walking through things.
@JGRW When Obama was elected, I recommended that he should have the Air Force reveal "the truth about UFOs".
Doesn't matter if they say it's all true, all fake, or "klaato barado nikto";
when you're the president you should get to have a bit of fun messing with people in between doing the real work.
@Danetteb My wife and I still have most of our accounts in her name rather than mine, since that was still a new policy when we got married (and later because she was working when we bought the house and I'd been recently laid off.)
In case anything happened to me we didn't want her to be stuck without access to our funds.
@SteveBellovin Do you still have a CD drive that can read it?
(Had minor trouble with a USB-C-only laptop vs a USB-A / USB-mini-B DVD reader recently :-)
@voight If I were a Tesla stockholder, I'd be annoyed.
As a taxpayer, I'd expect that to pass through to Elon/etc's income taxes.

Per the article☝️, the population of American birds has declined by 30% since the 1970s. To help, you must support the bugs that the birds need to reproduce. But only 14% of #NativePlants generate 90% of the yummy caterpillars that drive food webs!

So are you planting these?

@wendynather Kids these days are pretty good. At least it's brie and not Gauloise's, and you can put up with an occasional beret.
@LinuxAndYarn @mkellis @wendynather Does it have a caption? This only shows the picture.
@resuna I've moved most of the simpler less active machines to LTS last upgrade cycle, but have a few that really do want to stay current, and I'd rather not have to rebuild them on a new copy.
