The antivax movement goes back farther than Wakefield and the “causes autism” thing. That’s just when it became really popular.

The MMR (measels, mumps, rubella) vaccine is the one Wakefield was against. The OG of the vaccines cause autism movement.

Remember to send them an email and let them know you’re boycotting them. They don’t have to know how long you’ve been doing it.

Sometimes you just need to send some dogs into that meeting and shoot the first plan that comes flying out.

“You can’t have your cake and eat it” The older form was flipped: “you can’t eat your cake and have it” They both can mean about the same, but the older form makes it much clearer - if you’ve eaten your cake, you no longer have it. But you could have your cake, then eat it.

Mine’s around somewhere, too. I didn’t do a lot of gaming on it, but it was a very solid media streaming box for the time.

I enjoyed my Ouya back in the day.

Postman was great! The book is worth a read, too.

I figure I should follow up on this.

I tried a bunch of distros and settled on Pop! OS. It has the most touchscreen support for the aging two-touch device I have. Mate was a close second, but some of the store and settings pages don’t support touch scrolling. And I couldn’t find the on-screen keyboard. Gnome was also solid, but had some similar issues to Mate. It’s OSK popped up reliably, but would lose contact with the text field that I was trying to type in. Mint/Cinnamon was ok. Couldn’t find the OSK, and required a bunch of mouse interaction. Lomiri has a very nice system tray for touch, long-holding expands the tray and swiping moves between the tray items. But a lot of the functionality is hidden off the sides of the screen which makes general interactions more challenging than I’m looking for. Feren is just bad. Lots of things either have no touch functionality, or touches highlight, but don’t activate buttons. Had to use a mouse to do much of anything. I also made an attempt at Postmarket OS, but couldn’t get it to boot on my machine.

Do distros generally have live versions? Or is there a way to set that up?

I find 2 per PC is my useful limit. Which means my current 5 isn’t quite enough. Monitor arms are always a challenge at that scale, though.
