    Was going to send a link to a #Udemy course, but of course, when I clicked "share" from the course (being logged in), I got a tracking link.

    No, I'm not going to let you track which person I send which course. I can grab the link from the browser addressbar without the unwanted garbage, so that's what I did.

    #sonTwo and I had just watched #StarWars Episode One at the theater. Heading home, we stopped at Walmart. We passed the toy aisle and I noticed toy light sabers. I grabbed one, accused my child of being a Sith, and started swinging it at him. He ran, saying "stop, you're embarrassing me", while I gave chase.

    Many years later, when he left for college, he told some other students this and other stories and they voted me "most embarrassing dad".

    New California Energy Tax Makes You Pay 10 Cents to Open a New Browser Tab
    https://nu.federati.net/url/273957

    >SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A new tax goes into effect for California residents this week that will cost them 10 cents to launch browser tabs on their devices. The eco-friendly measure is aimed at cutting down waste and promoting healthy, sustainable browsing habits among internet users.
    >
    >Many local residents are less than thrilled with the new restrictions.
    >
    >“I got our family’s bill this month — $84, just on browser tabs!” said Los Angeles resident Emily Bloba. “I’ve had to remove the ‘control’ key and right mouse button from every computer in the house.”
    >
    >“Now, I care about the environment,” explained construction worker Paul Bigsby. “But you’d think the energy cost of all this paper is way higher than whatever a browser tab costs. I’ve already got eight pages of handwritten links to GDQ speedruns I’m definitely going to go back and give my full attention to. Like what am I supposed to do, just forget about them completely?”
    >
    >Despite the public outcry, lawmakers are urging Californians to “reduce, reuse, and recycle” browser tabs rather than consuming them without thought.
    >
    >“If you think about it, the ecological cost of millions of Californians sending electrical signals from their devices to open up new tabs on a daily basis is astronomical,” energy czar Ana Matosantos explained in a press conference. “It’s extremely wasteful and wholly unnecessary. Just use the tabs you already have open!”
    >
    >Environmental scientist Brock Stevens echoed Matosantos’ statements.
    >
    >“For every 15 tabs opened in Chrome, one vital, oxygen-producing plant dies. Soon, the Earth will be drowning and everyone will be screaming, ‘Why! Why couldn’t I just use the same tab for Twitter? Why did I need 5 separate tabs of Twitter running at the same time? Oh god, the acid rains are burning out my eye sockets!’ And all I’ll be able to say is, ‘I told you so.’”
    >
    >Officials are also reportedly considering policies to discourage gamers from having a mobile game open while running different games on their console and PC at the same time.

    @Nobody [LinuxWalt (@lnxw48a1)] Sure!

    If you add some structured programming to BASIC, some loops, named functions, structured data, you get COMAL, QuickBasic, LotusScript or VisualBasic. Those are quite alright. And from what I understand VB.Net is more or less C# with different spelling.

    And the BBC Micro had a BBC BASIC that had that, and inline assembly too!

    And not only that, it had replaceable ROMs, so you could get Forth, Lisp, Prolog, BCPL, Pascal or even, uh, COBOL, although some of them required you to load something extra from disk or tape also.

    So it was possible to have a really cool programming machine in the 8-bit home computer era. It's just that most of us had C64s or MSXes with a Microsoft BASIC that was mostly good for inputting DATA rows with POKE to store machine code programs in memory. 😀

    I too am with Canadian ISP #Teksavvy. I checked my bill last month, and was surprised to find it less than I expected. Apparently they lowered prices around November 2019. A couple of years ago they upgraded to unlimited/month at no charge. No way I'm ever changing! (is #Teksavvy somewhere in the !Fediverse?) /cc @guizzy

    What a pity! On July 17th, 2020, the Government of the Autonomous Community of Andalusia, Spain, announced that it finally shuts down its Linux distro "Guadalinex" (based on Ubuntu). It was first released Februray 23, 2004, its last version, Guadlinex v10, came out in 2017. It was no longer acitvely maintained since 2018.

    Right now only the derivatives Guadalinex Edu (for public schools) @juntadeandalucia.es/educacion/cga/portal/?page_id=7613 and GECOS (for organizations and small businesses) @gecos-team.github.io/ are said to be continued by the government. Most other derivatives of this Andalusian distro seem to be shutting down or have already been discontinued.

    In the 2000s Spain and its autonomous regions had a rich landscape of government created and curated opens ource distros which were given out for free to the citizens. At this time Spain was outstanding in Europe as its autonomous governments chose to develop open source distros for their citizens, their public infrastructure, and their business communities, all free of charge. Maintenance and curation of these distros lay in the hands of the local governments to ensure quality, documentation, outreach. That the developers got actually paid for their work didn't hurt either.

    From the various Spanish Linux distros Guadalinex was my favourite. I'm sad to see it go.

    (In case you're interested, there is an old blog post of mine on this peculiar governmental approach of the Spanish autnomous regions to develop Linux distros for their citizens: @simsa01.wordpress.com/2010/11/05/computation-for-and-by-the-people/ )

    Received a 'thank you' text from #GS2 for his (delayed) birthday card + $25 visa gift card.

    Not sure whether my daughter-in-law has talked with her oldest ( #GS1 ) yet to inform him that _his_ birthday card + gift card came to her.

    He's the dutiful one, so I was concerned that sending a gift card directly to him would lead to "we need your $25 to help with the bills".

    I know #GS2 is going to spend his birthday money on himself (as he should) and no amount of pressure would change that.
