Thanks for the heads up. I just cancelled my subscription. I had premium but $23 per month is ridiculous.

We just recently purchased Mail Assure with Cove Data Protection from N-able to achieve a similar goal, but unfortunately I don’t have any experience with it yet to advise if it is any good. It is an option though.

Dell offers no OS laptops and desktops but sadly only for business customers. Consumers have to buy the Windows adware. You sometimes see the enterprise stuff for sale second hand with no OS too. The only specific laptop I know that consumers can buy with no OS is the Framework Laptop, which looks awesome.

Thanks for the reply! After I wrote that I had another look at the context in which you posted your comment and realized I had misunderstood your meaning. That was why I deleted it. I can definitely appreciate that a very large instance will have higher operating costs and that people shouldn’t be mooches. Cheers!

This post was the first I heard of it too. I would have liked to have been counted.

Good open-source bot!

If you happen to read this, Mr. Stallman, I wish you you a swift and full recovery. We need more in this world like you. Thank you for all that you have done for the world and your tireless advocacy of Free Software!

You’re right, and anyone who thinks otherwise should check out Revolution OS. He speaks about it in detail.

That’s my understanding as well. The current initiative is far more limited in scope, and pays back students who were defrauded by scam schools.

I agree with you wholeheartedly! I just moved into this town a year ago and there is a lot of room for improvement, but also some good to be said about some of the local planners. I really need to get more involved.

The thought crosses my mind, but I wouldn’t do that. What I do always try to make a point to do is walk on the sidewalk side, even if it’s really tight so that hopefully they will notice someone is uncomfortably close to their precious car/trailer/camper. Hopefully they will think it’s going to get scratched and leave more room next time.

Yes, they can easily park 3 or more feet out toward the road. It’s like they park this way to protect their precious car by leaving it farther from the road, but it screws over pedestrians. As far as utility trailers and campers blocking the full width of the sidewalk, they don’t belong there at all, and since they are only there sometimes I can only assume that yes, they have somewhere better to park.

Edit: 3 feet is about 1 meter for folks using sensible measurement units.

For sure, it’s the same story with this misunderstood victim of circumstance too, no doubt.

I can’t say that I agree with you as far as the Apple stuff, but as a long time Gnome user, I agree with you 100% about Gnome. I loved Gnome 2, but even after all these years Gnome 3 has not grown on me. I’m actually running it on my main desktop PC right now so it’s not for lack of trying. Maybe I’m just a dinosaur but I’d take some Gnome 2 with Compiz over this mess of a desktop environment even still.

I use no@thankyou.com. Works like a charm.

Sweet reductio ad absurdum, bro. Chef’s kiss.

Seconded! I’ve had them suggest cards only to be rejected. If you want to find out if you’re pre-qualified you’re better off going to the source with sites like this:

A little off topic from your DRM/open source query, but since so many people are praising brother, in my opinion they are ruining their printers due to the jacked up toner cost. It’s not even just brother. Basically all the greedy printer manufacturers have all but ruined affordable laser printing. Years ago you could buy a brother printer for a reasonable cost that used toner that cost about a penny per page to print. They shrank the toner cartridges but didn’t reduce the cost so it’s not uncommon to speed a few cents a page on toner these days. Compare that with the current ink tank options and you’ll find the cost is way lower at around $.002 per page. The biggest trade off in my opinion is that you have to print to them regularly or they clog up and they are slower, but they are definitely a better value.

TL DR: greedy printer manufacturers ruined laser printers. Buy an ink tank printer instead until they ruin inkjets again.
