It’s ZDNet, so, probably. CNET and others have, so why not the once-popular shell of itself, ZDNet, too?

It’s :checksnotes: sarcasm.

windows phone was a joke

No. It was leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else. They just sat on their hands and didn’t do anything with it, allowing Google, RiM and Apple to steamroll them.

And to blame Microsoft (which – don’t get me wrong – is hugely evil and truly is the cause behind many of the problems you properly identify) for all of the tech problems without a hat tip to IBM is missing some important details. IBM showed the tech world that if you use your war chest to drag out a legal battle long enough, you will eventually get a president in power (Reagan) that you own enough to dismiss all claims. That’s how Microsoft got off without even a fine for all their antitrust violations. They played the long game and George W. waved a hand, making the enforcement effort go away.

Exactly how my cats do. Gums must be involved.

Thx again for the reply. Adding PPA’s is pointed to as a no-no for Debian stable, otherwise I would add it in a heartbeat.

I may have described my situation poorly to explain the MX relationship with Debian 12. The base is Debian 12 Bookworm:

Distro: MX-23.5_ahs_x64 Libretto May 19  2024 base: Debian GNU/Linux 12
    (bookworm)

MX is currently on Debian 12 Bookworm, but I can select backports or testing from the package manager:

Thx for the reply!

My AHS version includes the 6.13.7-2 kernel, but the testing repo (MX anyway) doesn’t show a newer version of Mesa.

Oh! I guess my interest only went as far as finding an alternative. I didn’t realize they still add from upstream.

Thx for enlightening me.

Who is still using Audacity anymore? Tenacity is where it’s at.

This reminds me of “Nyet,” cat. (Not sure why, since their coloring is very different)

Awesome! Thanks! I was initially sure the pedant was right, but my grammarly “research” was hasty and misapplied, and I thought I had learned a new thing I was doing wrong. I do a lot of those…

We both used links from the same source.

I’ve traditionally used no apostrophe for inanimate objects, like a bus.

The bus has wheels. Its wheels are black.

But when dealing with a gendered, thinking being, use the apostrophe.

Edit: no need for down-votes for a good-faith discussion, is there?

It’s*
noun, possessive

The cat has knees. It’s knees are powder.

Possessive apostrophes are apostrophes (’) used with the letters at the end of a noun to show ownership over or a close connection with another noun. For example, if you were talking about the tail of your cat, you can add a possessive apostrophe and an s to show which noun is the owner.

I can’t say with a straight face that I didn’t see this coming.

By blocking all mention of Pixelfed on their platforms.

Eeexactly.

How could that happen when every post is locked at creation?

Ha! I don’t get the connection, but I’m watching KN reruns as I type this.
