@troubleMoney All I wanted was to try out a bunch of LMLs for static website content before I finally commit to one.

# pkg install hs-pandoc

Number of packages to be installed: 151

The process will require 4 GiB more space.
762 MiB to be downloaded.

Proceed with this action? [y/N]:

Reminder: More terrorism attacks in the US have been carried out by home-grown right-wing extremists than by Islamic terrorists & actual left-wing extremists combined. huffingtonpost.com/entry/domes

RT @DeoTasDevil@twitter.com: So someone mailed bombs to George Soros, the Obama family, the Clintons, and a CNN offices in NYC (addressed to former CIA Director John Brennan, an MSNBC contributor).

Wanna tell me again that we should fear "the violent Left" and ignore the abundant right wing violence?

GA sued a guy for publishing & distributing copies of the state's law code, crying copyright infringement. The US Court of Appeals just told GA that it can't copyright the law. eff.org/deeplinks/2018/10/appe

tip: If you need to re-read the message a package dumped when it was installed or upgraded, run:

pkg info -D <package-name>

or:

pkg info --pkg-message <package-name>

I'm not too worried, but I put updating off because of my previous bad experience with VirtualBox's kernel modules. (I headed that off by uninstalling them.)

I want to read the upgrade instructions on a separate tablet, but the only one I have atm runs Windows 10. I haven't turned it on in three days, which means it's critically out of date & would tie up the 'Net for two hours downloading & installing updates.

How I wanted to spend my evening: finding the right lightweight markup language.

How I actually spent my evening: trying to install pandoc, waiting for it and it's 1/2 GB of dependencies to download (thanks, texlive!), only to have it crap out because I'm too out of date.

Every website designer and their customers should be forbidden from accessing mock-ups, betas, and live trials at faster than 14.4 Kbps over the cheapest modems and a loose pair of twisted salt-n-pepper wires.

If it works at literal dial-up speeds, then it works at gigabit speeds. Vice versa is rarely true.

@finnylion@snouts.online Because foreign state-funded media is "subversive propaganda" and/or "unfair competition."
