James Carville threatening to leave the Democratic Party and saying DemSocs 'aren't Democrats'. Go fuck yourself, this is the party of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Henry A Wallace. Some of us are old enough to remember the DLC bullshit betrayal of the working class that made a Trump inevitable.

Been a while. Amid yet another Kleine-Levin Syndrome flare (just ended). Issues at my condo, the part time gig, and the SSDI process, I've been swamped. So how has everyone here been?

Fellow traditional media artists, how do you photograph your works? I'm looking for camera, lighting and other rec.'s. Asking as I have things I want to put on DeviantArt, but my phone and StylusTough 6020 don't quite seem to photograph to my liking. Pics of setups appreciated! #art #photography

So, Friday morning I disposed of the old desk I needed to replace w/ the new one I'd had for a while. Friday afternoon the moisture remediation contractor arrived. He said my A/C needed to be replaced ASAP to control temperature for his equipment. A friend helped me locate and install one. 1/6

It looks like the Mirtazapine is finally got me going where I want to go, mood-wise. The week of paradoxical worsening of depression was rough, but if I keep on this trend it'll have been more than worth it. This morning I caught myself singing along to silly songs I had on when doing chores. 1/2

Well, it looks like that part time online thing came through. They have some paid onboarding stuff. The first module took me nearly 6 hours. It was quite frustrating. The second one looks like it'll be similar. I'll do the second one sometime next week.

I feel people do not get why countries make these laws. > Peru lawmakers push open-source software Peru was seeing it from the mid 2000s. Yes, they banned Microsoft.
Peru joins Brazil, China, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea and other countries in actively moving toward the Linux operating system and other open-source alternatives that can mean millions of dollars in savings.

But a leading advocate for such alternatives said it remains to be seen whether President Alejandro Toledo will sign the bill into law.

"There are many associations on a national level that do not agree with this because they believe it will affect their interests," including revenues from the sale of proprietary systems, said Jose Cairo Gallardo, president of the Peruvian Free Software Association.

The government palace did not respond to phone and fax requests seeking the president's position on the issue.

In a move that went largely unnoticed, Congress voted 61-0 last Thursday to approve the legislation, which would prohibit any public institution from purchasing computer equipment that ties users to a particular type of software or "in any manner limits information autonomy."

It also bars public institutions from having a predetermined preference for either proprietary software, like Microsoft Corp.'s, in which the source code is mostly secret and licensing fees are charged for upgrades, or for open-source software, in which the underlying code is available to anyone wanting to revise or customize it.
