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. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/domestic-terrorism-white-supremacists-islamist-extremists_us_594c46e4e4b0da2c731a84df
uspol, current events, violence
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. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/10/appeals-court-tells-georgia-state-code-cant-be-copyrighted
#FreeBSD 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 I haven't turned it on in three days, which means it's critically out of date & would tie up the 'Net for two hours downloading & installing updates.
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.
Computers turned against us
Sci-fi robot uprising movies made us afraid that computers would turn against us in order to kill us with violent force.
It happened in reality, in the form of the "Internet of Things," but they turned against us in order to kill us with monopolized advertisements instead.

I also discovered the hard way that textile has very different ideas from markdown about paragraph folding & what hard word-wrapping means.
I've settled on making a static website generator. Debugging the single file workflow was many times quicker than debugging the design, which I think is a good sign. With the design, I aimed to make it look just right in modern browsers, look acceptable in old browsers, & be fully conformant with HTML 5, CSS 3, & WCAG 2. That was work, but I didn't get hacky or make compromises.
