I Don't Stand With Racists, I Won't Walk With Bigots

It should be easy to tell which is bad and which is good. They want to exterminate a group of human beings based on race. Anyone who saw the gas chambers and the labor camps and heard testimonies of what the nazis did will recognize evil. It should be easy to denounce anyone who believes what the nazis believe. The nazis hate jews and believe in the aryan racial superiority. World War II was fought because of it.

In a country founded on the principle of equality and freedom, this contrast makes any other perspective untenable. For the leader of such a country to not critically denounce white supremacists and neo-nazis is a failure of historical proportions. How many americans died fighting in Europe to liberate it from Hitler? Instead the de facto leader of the free world, (I'm not referring to Donald Trump) Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany, denounced the neo-nazis in the United States. Donald Trump doesn't deserve a position he clearly doesn't understand. Donald Trump should be censured by Congress. The United States should be clear to the world it doesn't stand with racists and bigots.

Appindicator In Natty Ubuntu 11.04

Previously ranted about the blind alley Ubuntu 11.04 seemed to be leading us when it comes to some applications not being ready yet for the dropping of system tray. What I should have done is press on. There are posts about editing a white list with a recommended GUI tool to help us out here , here and here . Like everything in Linux, there's a configuration file for it, if you can find it and if you have the inclination to go ninja. If not then there's dconf-editor. Download dconf-tools from Software Center. Navigate to desktop>unity>panel. Add your application in the white list. Then close the window. No save button. mmm. So far I have added Shutter, Dropbox and Keepassx in the white list. Before... After.

Evolution Mail on GNOME 3.26

There's a slight change in the user interface. A To Do column now appears to the rightmost after the GNOME 3.26 update. Also there's a noticeable stability increase, what with goa-daemon stopping its RAM usage creep. I don't have to kill it every couple of hours.

New Converge ICT Plan Max with Sky Now

I pulled the trigger on Converge Max plan 400Mbps with Sky channels. I went to their sales office and asked for the upgrade. No charge at all and they didn't ask me to return the old modem. It looks like they will pull it when they install the new modem.e It came with a black box for the TV. The configuration is easy but it took me 3 days to figure out the Wired connection. It should be fine except I have to jiggle it in the config (GUI). Turn 802.1x on and off to finally connect. Here's the speed for the Wired connection:
