change the school hours for the shifting daylight hours, you’d also have to change parents’ work schedules… or provide some child care benefits, maybe. and we know how that would go over with this congress and administration.
there is 100s of miles of fiber spools just sitting for years at a utility maintenance yard here. the provider that was doing the work to expand services just took the rest of the free money and split.
https://www.pcsforpeople.org/ is another organization with low-cost internet for low income households. they some have hardware, too. they’ve expanded a lot since their first location opened in minnesota in 1998. (note: i am not affiliated with them, i just occasionally refer people to them)
they were, for months, literally giving the hardware away. no hardware cost. no recurring fees. just 20 bucks for shipping, then the whatever for the actual internet plan itself. a flat $80/mo i think the lowest cost one was. i have a few users on it that bought into that deal. i think it was just before the ipo where they started tacking-on an extra monthly fee.
amazon’s web site as a whole has always been shitty, going all the way back to when they just sold books.
the inevitable court case would go on longer than turtle’s term.
task failed successfully.
the internet’s gonna be consumed by this for weeks, instead of anything else he has done or will do. be very afraid of what happens next while your attention is elsewhere.
iot is stripped-down ‘windows lite’ but they don’t sell that to the masses they’re trying to hoover-up data on, sling bullshit at, or trick into subscribing to stuff.
iot is excellent on the desktop or as a gamer. its existence is proof that none of the bullshit microsoft’s been peddling is actually needed in the os, and that crap actually hurts performance and stability.
afaik it’s by election only now to fill a vacant senate seat from kentucky. the republicant super-majority in that state legislature passed a law that took the governor, including the sitting 2-term democrat, out of that process.
just the motivation i needed to finally buy some color ink for this printer. this one is goin’ up on the wall at the office.

boss has this on her pc. put it on after she did accidentally “lose” all her tabs once (she keeps many open and restores session on re-launch). she hasn’t since. and it’s been years.
if they had room on the graphic, it’d be there too… but their racism runs deeper, and just think of all the black and brown people that would benefit from these policies. they don’t care that “all” includes all the maga nuts, too, doesn’t even register in their minds… it’s just that “those” people… the “wrong” people… would get something–anything, is just too much for them to handle.
i’ve salvaged enough older ddr3/ddr4 stuff and sata ssd to hopefully last until i see some newer stuff go through here destined for the recycle heap. but what i am short on is spinny hdd for more ‘‘archive’’ storage, i’m down to my last couple smaller hdd

i know this is a link to that other site, but this old post has a link to the full essay as published in 1980.

i remember that. it was my first year in school and i still remember going to school “at night”. i was not a fan. yes, school was only across the street, but i did not like the dark–at all. mom had to walk me to school instead of just watching from the back steps like she usually did back then.
i am firmly on team standard time; and i’d rather keep changing (and preferably with the old time change dates and shorter dst) than be an hour ahead all year long.
