    That's quite a bold strategy to get people to vote.

    Some of the lowest voter turnouts are in the poorest communities, so maybe there's something to be garnered from that.

    guys I know you want to show off how stretchable your product is but could you please, please, not do it like this?

    @foone OMG I'm getting flashbacks to the London Olympics 2012 'alternative' logo.

    I'd like to tell a quick story about successful troubleshooting.

    A few months ago I rented a scissor lift to install lighting at my new office. When it arrived, the delivery person gave me a quick demo and off he went.

    Well, when I went to actually use it - the lift went up by about a foot then stopped and screamed beeps of terror. It was broken!

    But the display on the control read "18"

    Rather than call the rental company, I searched "sinoboom fault code 18" to see what that meant.

    @TechConnectify It would be pretty cool to have a 'diagnostics' class in school, which would just focus on identifying problems, lol.

    GOD YES everyone in charge of a database anywhere should read this:

    @fasterthanlime Great article. Why am I still going to end up learning the hard way. Lol

    Real thought:

    What depresses me most about the state of the world at present is that we've stopped caring to live up to the spirit of our ideals.

    When we fail them and are pressed, we can rationalize our terrible actions based on technicalities - and large swaths of our culture have normalized doing this very thing.

    It is my most sincere hope that we can walk our way back from this. I see some signs of this, but would prefer to see many more.

    @TechConnectify There's a lot of people today who think we don't have much of a future, and there seems to be no political enthusiasm to change that from the people with power.

    Millennials are jaded by what's happened to the economy in that past 25 years.

    Gen Z had to experience some of the formative years in Covid lockdowns, watching a useful political class flail around and fail to deal with it.

    And Gen Alpha are likely going to having to deal with oncoming climate change effects.

    I have noticed a few Linux distros which include:

    virtualbox-guest-additions

    Preinstalled even though Virtual Box is not installed. It seems easy enough to uninstall, as nothing seems to depend on it. But it does beg the question of why it is included.

    #Linux #VirtualBox

    @Linux I'd imagine it's there for those who want to run said distro in a Virtual Box VM.
