Nope. That's Johnson & Johnson. Different company.

I'm not sure if it's still true, but I seem to recall SC Johnson having profits as the lowest of their corporate objectives with higher ones being things like improving people's lives and bringing value to the world.

Granted, it's all just text, and times change, but I'd be curious to know if there's any truth to it, especially today.

The printer's name is Marvin, from HHGTTG.

It never wants to work and always complains.

 

Taken during the height of COVID-19. Rotech is a supplier of oxygen and respiratory equipment.

Highlighting is mine.

Perhaps try installing it natively with the package manager in the OS instead of with flatpak.

I'm starting to warm up to flatpaks but the one place I think they really don't make sense is core OS stuff which I think is the case here.

I'm not saying it wouldn't work as flatpak, but I just think it would be better integrated if you install it directly in the OS, and I don't see much need for sandboxing a shim like that.

Cathy?

I see that you're not interested in actual discourse and instead are just looking to be petty.

So I'll assume you're also not arguing in good faith either, so I'll just add some downvotes and move on.

So we shouldn't house them unless and until we figure out all of the complex issues? They're not going to benefit any at all, or have any possibility of getting on their feet, until we have a perfect solution?

That's what's being said there: homelessness is not something we should do anything about, because of reasons. So let's do nothing.

That's a fucking cop out.

Even if that is true, does it somehow invalidate the fact that they are also homeless?! Are they less deserving to be out of the elements because they have an addiction?

That's what I find so disgusting about this statement. It's just an excuse and doesn't address anything at all.

Using his own "argument", it would seem to me that a path to less addiction and violence would involve having a place to live and sleep.

I don't know if this was true at some point, but this is definitely a false statement today.

I have a Framework 16 w/o dGPU and it is perfect. It has long battery life, awesome performance, and has no thermal issues at all. Then there's all the features which I don't think I need to get into here. But I will call out support for lvfs/fwupdmgr; it's great and in line with what I have seen with Dell and Lenovo.

This is my forever laptop

This isn't accurate at all. Paris is in Northeast Texas, not the panhandle!

Definitely has a sense of humor about himself. See Jean-Claude Van Johnson for some good fun.

"Sphere"

That pronunciation ... like WTF ... did word inventors just figure we had totally exhausted the sound combinations that we could splice together?!
