@Jason_Dodd i don't know. I don't rank high enough to know who i work for, when.

@Jason_Dodd sounds like it, although technically my acquisition still hasn't happened yet, so i guess time will tell.

@freakazoid Mozilla walked away from FirefoxOS on mobile. I had a Firefox phone, and it was good-not-great, could have been an amazing alt OS to the Big 2.

I think they do best when focusing on making a good browser.

Love your idea though.

Hey #mastodon wouldn't it be nice if opensource.com showed solidarity by featuring a mastodon social button on each article?

Well, that's what I suggested and as of this morning- that's exactly what they're doing!

@farhan yeah, what @ZoeyGlobe said. I was only listing the appealing features, not necessarily comparing. It's tough to compare distro features unless you're looking for something specific. They all basically reduce down to "it's Linux".

Having said that, zypper is nice too.

@farhan @ZoeyGlobe long term support for 3 years with nice service pack releases throughout, YaST, top-knotch KDE experience.

@ekaitz_zarraga I actually can't, as I haven't done enough research on it. I should look into it more. I'll share what I learn, if anything!

@ekaitz_zarraga yeah i think just for pleasure

@pokey @starshiptux @thaj @x1101 good point. I nearly lost my Leatherman Wave when I absentmindedly had it in carry-on luggage. Luckily they let me step out of line to call a Zoomy (nz less-evil uber) to take just my Leatherman back home for me.

Also calling the Wave "everyday carry" is a little funny because it must weigh a kilo at least. You gotta have yer suspenders on to carry that thing around in your pocket.

@ekaitz_zarraga i was ok with javaFX but i guess Oracle is trying to kill it now? Never had heard of clijFX, I'll have to check it out

@kev @joseph it's the comments plugin for grav (that's how it identifies itself in the README). I have some custom theming and security mods on it to help fight spam, and so far it has been treating me well.

Cons: requires customisation to fix wonky display order (as i recall, it displays most recent first, so threading is basically backwards), and there's no actual threading: to reply to a previous comment, you just have to @ the person you're replying to.

@starshiptux @thaj @pokey @x1101 i wasn't asked, and i have no kids, but luckily that's all the qualification i need to hand out advice on the internet. I'd look at leatherman; they have some nice "everyday carry" utility knives (like the skeletool). Why get her a knife when you can get her a knife and a screwdriver and a scissor and plyers?

Caveat: no idea if these are suitable for small hands.

@claudiom man, that dude got a lot of mileage out of "hey, you should try buying a used computer". I hope he's getting paid by the word.

@kev @joseph grav does comments pretty nicely, actually. Not amazingly but they work. Sample: https://mixedsignals.ml/games/blog/blog_dead-earth

@tuturto @randynose @clacke it's working!

@randynose yes to the paper. No to the doritos, but i did end up eating some chips for comfort, if that counts.
