@Madken65 And part of a much longer downward trend extending back to the early 1990s. No one knows for sure what fueled this decline.

You know what's #weird ? Administrations and campaigns that make a big deal out of working #forthepeople but keep actively supporting the #ethniccleansing of #Gaza and the #WestBank along with a war in #lebanon

Good morning and happy Monday!

@ToruOkada Porque no los dos?
Sometimes sourcing a citation directly is best.

Hey folks! Are you--or someone you know--struggling to pay for #textbooks? Can't find the citation you need? Is that article you wanna read behind a paywall?

Why use #Linux? Because there's no place like ~

@ToruOkada Microsoft is out to end dual-boot even as a concept, which is reason enough to leave them behind.

@JanetZumba_FalPals Yes, yes it is.

. . . except that they didn't. The Nevada#GreenParty was given the wrong paperwork by the #Nevada Secretary of State's office and filed it in good faith per the instructions they had received from the relevant authority.

Beware this sort of #disinformation in an election.

Just remember: if you live on the third floor or below the odds of Simone Biles appearing on your balcony are low, but never zero.

@JGNWYRK I'd recommend backing up everything and doing a fresh install of 22. If you use the native backup utilities for packages, you can restore most of your software pretty easily.

@LittleFatty Turns out mainstream digital entities might not like our little federated universe, go figure.

Glad you're back!

@earthshine That sounds awful, I hope you feel better soon!
