This image was taken in 2021 just 3 months after the devastating round-up in the Onaqui HMA. The young Palomino filly had lost her family to the helicopters. She was too young and inexperienced to be on her own. The old gray stallion took her under his wing and became her mentor and protector. He was never far from her side.

So I found that there's an old version of Cygwin which runs on #Windows98. It's been super handy!

It's great being able to use ssh and rsync files over from my NAS, plus I'm way more productive on a bash prompt than the default DOS one.

I even got Neofetch to run. Granted, it looks like some things like the window manager are hard-coded (Definitely not using Aero on Win98 😅).

The only thing not working is MinTTY. I'm going to try and build that from source next.

In 1979 Jimmy Carter installed solar panels on the White House roof. In the 80s' Ronald Reagan removed them.
Carter wanted renewables to generate 20% of U.S. energy needs by 2000. When Reagan was elected he scrapped the policy, eliminating tax breaks for renewable technologies in favour of oil and gas. Today the US produces just 7% of its energy from renewables, the majority from hydroelectric schemes.
A massive wasted opportunity which we and future generations will pay for.

So, let's call this what it is, tired of just making money from ads and selling your data, Elon and Mark are turning to CONVERSION EXTORTION.

In software as a service (SaaS) marketing speak, CONVERSION is when a free user transitions to a paid customer. Getting your credit card number is their holy grail.

EXTORTION is the practice of obtaining something through force or threats.

When your online security is threatened unless you pay up, they are extorting your conversion.

In 1979, Jimmy Carter wanted to set as a goal for 20% of US energy to come from solar by 2000. We're still at 3%. Imagine where we would be if he hadn't been treated with derision for his calls for moving to renewable energy.

4/ "Trump moved to kill the rule change initiated by Obama admin that would have required freight trains to upgrade current braking tech developed in 19th cent for state-of-art electronic systems...Not clear if modern brakes could have prevented derailment or whether Obama rule would have applied. But experts believe new brakes could have mitigated the wreckage & release of so many hazardous chemicals..."

Nothing like an enormous power outage at the airport to completely mess up your travel plans. Oh well. The journey is the destination.
