[15:15] schestowitz[15:15] schestowitzToday in Tedium: Earlier this week, my internet went out. It was an inconvenience. It knocked out my connection to the world, and knocked my little home server offline. But it was no big thingI went to bed and woke up, and everything was back online. Plus, I could tether my phone and still get a working internet connection on my laptop, no problem. Part of the reason internet connections are [15:15] schestowitz so useful is that theyre unlimited. We can take them for granted because its like a faucet that we never have to turn off. But there was a time when digital connections were not seen in this way, and that occasionally led to some bad decision-making. One of those considered bad decisions created an echo effect that you could hear both on BBSes and in the FCCs mailbox for years afterward. Todays Tedium discusses the tale of [15:15] schestowitz the modem tax. Ernie @ Tedium

[15:27] schestowitz[15:27] schestowitzWayland. It comes up a lot: Bug X fixed in the Plasma Wayland session. The Plasma Wayland session has now gained support for feature Y. And its in the news quite a bit lately with the announcement that Fedora KDE is proposing to drop the Plasma X11 session for version 40 and only ship the Plasma Wayland session. Ive read a lot of nervousness and fear about it lately. [15:27] schestowitz
