Donald Trump forced out a respected U.S. Attorney because they wouldn't go along with Trump’s demands for political prosecutions. Less than a week later, his inexperienced handpicked successor brings charges against a member of Trump's enemies list. In my almost six years as

I agree with the statement that begins “Every step that you add in the process…” for vaccine uptake it’s typically essential to make it easy/breezy. From my experience, once you start to make immunizations fussy or complicated, vaccine coverage declines pretty quickly.

If I had the chance and or inclination to do things over, the system would be entirely different. Nothing that they've done would really get in the way of what I've had in mind. All these UI systems are fundamentally missing the concept that everything should be network-centric.
@JimGettys @alanc @XOrgFoundation Time passes quickly in this industry. It‘s really astonishing to follow all these changes and innovations. Still, I think, wayland is a small step back, as the „network is the computer“ idea of a networking windowing system got lost a bit...

@XOrgFoundation Oh, my; I guess it's 35 years today... In some ways, X has aged amazingly well; in others, its age is showing.
