   Today, the #coin_laundry had an average number of customers. They had signs up about a coin shortage, asking people to only use the change machine if they were doing laundry on site. By the time I finished, most of the earlier customers had left, and a smaller number of new customers had arrived.

   Went to the laundromat, washed clothes. The TV was playing “Big Bang Theory”. I like the show even less when I’m not watching but I still hear the audio.

   #anti-maskers pretend to be government agents to disuade employees from enforcing store policies ... if anything, they should be celebrating the fact that business owners & managers are able to establish policies that apply when one is on their property.

   ”More than 30,000 of the district’s 42,000 students went back for in-classroom instruction when schools reopened, with the others opting for virtual learning.”
   
   The way I understand it, the district decided that only X number of students would be allowed to attend virtually and used force of law to compel the others to attend in person.

   You can’t make this stuff up. More than 800 #GA students told to self-isolate after being exposed to #SARS-CoV-2, the #coronavirus that causes #COVID-19, at school. And some people think this is right time to reopen the schools!

    When I write these things, I’m not trying to condemn #Mozilla. Once their primary funder also became their primary competitor, the handwriting was on the wall. Unless a new fiscal beneficiary suddenly appears or one of these money-making products catches on, their future is bleak. Probably the last hope is to make Firefox code understandable enough that the user community c…

    The decisions that #Mozilla made in their search for more money have not made things better, either. They integrated #Pocket into Firefox and eventually purchased Pocket, but privacy-aware people have always considered Pocket and similar software to be dangerous. Thus, “use Firefox, the privacy-oriented browser” becomes “avoid Firefox unless you turn off their data-collec…

    I think I’ve written this before, but back in their heyday, #Mozilla was flying high, driven by the funds coming from its search deal with #Google. When the GOOG started to cut back and then launched a competing browser, Moz panicked (rightly) because all the high-sounding promises they made were predicated on this huge level of funding that went away. Now that #Firefox hold…

    Looks like #Mozilla is in some trouble. Laid off 1/4 of its workforce—250 people—and is going to focus on revenue-generating projects. https://nu.federati.net/url/273858 [www theverge com]

    I see people talking about shows like "American Idol" and "America's Got Tallent" and in my head, I see "The Gong Show".
    
    (I don't think I've seen a full episode of either of the newer shows, just clips on YouTube.)

    LOL. Last night (well, this morning at 03:00), I turned off the laptop with "install updates and shut down".
    
    Turned the #Win10 laptop on a little while ago and now it wants to reboot again. Why have they not mastered installing all the available updates at once, then requiring a reboot?

    Reminded me of a situation at work several years ago. There was a small branch office about 90-120 minutes away (depending on traffic) from our local facility. Because of its size, the office had no on-site tech support. We started getting phone calls about not having any Internet service. We did some troubleshooting over the phone. It looks like it is an outage. We called th…

    Fun little outage here last night. It was only something like 5 minutes without Internet service, but when it came back, DNS took about 30 minutes to start working. My router (the one I control, not the modem/router the ISP provides) currently uses OpenDNS and Google DNS *, neither of which was passing through the ISP router at first. Eventually, queries started passing throug…

    Zillions of years ago, I used #Keepass on Windows with extensions to work directly with the browser. Then I switched to #KeepassX, because the same program worked on Linux. Recently, I’ve started migrating toward #KeepassXC ... once again, the browser extensions are working nicely on Windows. (I haven’t tried KeepassXC yet on Linux, because I need to upgrade my main laptop …
