I am very clearly asking just this one question.&#34;<br/><br/>&#34;Ah, but have you tried solving an entirely different problem?&#34; 2024-08-19T02:12:08Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs9r7xkcrxscg7ar97spytaxav6m52vj4ygmr6kdnyqr69yay973pgzyr6mcfdxldwc53sl9s0cyh7ydwu8pvkpvvaetdcuapfnge8rq7zhgrs46yq The earliest alleged Gaiman assault is now 1986, three years before Sandman. He was 25. This is not a problem of power or of a &#34;permission structure,&#34; as I thought a few days ago. Given the evidence, I now believe he&#39;s a serial sexual assaulter and has been the whole time.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.themarysue.com/neil-gaiman-faces-additional-sexual-assault-allegations-as-two-more-women-speak-out/">https://www.themarysue.com/neil-gaiman-faces-additional-sexual-assault-allegations-as-two-more-women-speak-out/</a> 2024-08-06T22:59:13Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsgpdhsknz52eg24dwhh7y42l9wltj6qpswqjh773n5kyl7r5q9x8gzyr6mcfdxldwc53sl9s0cyh7ydwu8pvkpvvaetdcuapfnge8rq7zhgyug9xr So far, the mindblowingest thing about #linux is that it proves you never &#34;needed&#34; to turf your computer every four years. It&#39;s entirely possible (although I&#39;m sure it&#39;s not *easy*) to make an OS that continues to work on fairly old hardware. #LinuxMint runs fine on a MacBook 2007. That&#39;s not a typo! <br/><br/>This treadmill we&#39;ve been on for decades where the newest OS starts to chug after a few years--so you buy more ram, bigger hard drive, eventually a new computer--it was always a scam. 2024-06-29T05:56:38Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs2he3dgchkvpktnvkqt67msujymsymg5cgyu4uyjn9qy38c6s92pqzyr6mcfdxldwc53sl9s0cyh7ydwu8pvkpvvaetdcuapfnge8rq7zhgwnrtjf I realized today that over the course of my life, I&#39;ve switched OS&#39;s once every 15 years or so.
