The Big Beautiful Bill also bundled a bunch of unrelated things, and that still got GOP votes.

Downside: it requires knowing a new coding language, Nix, to maintain your laptop.

If you don’t understand it, it’s going to be painful to fix anything that doesn’t work.

I have had more problems with two different Frameworks than most Thinkpads. Battery died, boot/power problems on both the 13 and 16, touchpad problem on the 13.

I prefer the concept of the Frameworks but can’t say they have worked better in practice.

I’m sure Tesla shareholders are happy to hear he’s picked up another side project.

One obstacle all third parties face in the US is party-line voting, which favors the dominant parties.

On possible outcome is that he puts a lot of money into making third party candidates more viable, like efforts to ban party-line voting or supporting ranked choice voting. So, you could vote for the America Party candidate and then if they don’t have a majority ñ, you vote could roll over to the Dem or GOP candidate of your choice, reducing your risk of voting third party.

These changes would help Libertarian, Green and other parties as well. More choice for voters!

Thanks for sharing.

It does look like there’s a way to use PiHole personally for those who share the network with those who don’t want it: leave default DNS server setttings alone except for your own devices.

And if you aren’t home or available?

Does PiHole ever break a family member’s browsing, and then they don’t know to fix the issue because it would involve understanding opening up the PiHole web interface?

When I see this I think of the week I worked flat on my back with sciatica. It was literally a pain my neck as I turned my head sideways to look a laptop on the side on the floor.

So I see a guy with bad sciatica, but a more comfortable work setup.

For 60+ I might recommend ChromeOS Flex, Mint, or Ubuntu.

ChromeOS Flex can install and run desktop Linux software and has a terminal. What else makes it Linux-like?

ChromeOS Flex is designed as a desktop OS. Android is not.

ChromeOS Flex. Very low maintenance.

It depends. In Firefox, Chrome and LibreOffice, Shift-Insert pastes the clipboard, not the selection. Viva Linux!

For a shared set of hosts at work, you can check a shared SSH include file into got so changes to the cluster can be updated in one place.

You describing a kill ring which is internal to the shell and not synced to the system clipboard. Nor does it work in GUI apps.

The benefit of universal bindings is not have to learn one method for GUI apps, another for terminals and a third for shells implementing the kill-ring like bindings.

I confirmed that these already supported a number of terminals plus QT and GTK. They could also be mapped to be more ergonomic with a programmable keyboard:

• Control+Insert: Copy
• Shift+Delete: Cut
• Shift+Insert: Paste

Yes.

There are already settings to change some of the colors used.

For the terminal in particular there is an option to hide the menu bar, making it look as Foot or Alacritty do.
