Why shouldn't they be allowed cell phones, at least as a privilege? They shouldn't be allowed to harass anyone, but they're people. JPay and other predatory companies put an undue burden on families just trying to talk to their loved ones (who, let's face it, may not be guilty) in the pen. There are even worse companies that pretend to be places where you can send money or put money on a phone card for a loved one but once you get to the fine print it's just a scam. That dries up if you just allow folks the opportunity to talk to their family during their downtime.

But fuck them, I guess. People are in jail to be punished and if they don't have the maximum amount of punishment 24x7 along with their families then we're not really getting our money's worth.

Or maybe he's talking on a butt phone.

Until the CIO gets the "telephone game" version of what's going on.

I can't speak to the executable, but I know back in '95 the joke about someone calling support and asking why they have a cup holder but no CD drive was already crusty. There were a bunch of variations, but here's the first one I found for those too young to remember:

Customer: "Can you help me, the cup holder on my new computer broke, and I don't know what to do?

Friend: "Cup holder? What are you talking about? None of our computers come with a cup holder attached to them, and I've never heard of one that did."

Customer: Yes, well the one you sold me did, and the other day I went to set a mug of coffee on it and it just snapped off!"

Friend: "Sir, can you describe what the cup holder looks like, because I still can't picture what a cup holder on a computer would look like?"

At this point the customer is getting a little irritated!

Customer: "Look, I don't know how you could not know that you sell computers with cup holders on them, because it's right in the middle of the thing, and when you push a button on the side, it pops out so you can set your drink on it, and it says 4X on the front cover!"

A long pause . . .

Friend: Sir, are you telling me, you're using your CD-Rom drive as a beverage holder?"

Customer: "What's a CD-Rom Drive?"

And now, a terrible bonus joke that is completely unrelated but was around at about the same time:

How do you know if you're addicted to the Internet? You get a tattoo that says "This body best viewed with Netscape 2.01 or higher."

Except for the <.1% of users who do things like compile their own version of Infinity with their own user agent. They're still there and not looking at ads.

I was going to ask where the ad was, but I forgot that I turned off the launcher specifically because of that. I have no idea about PS but you can add the following on PC to skip the lau8

--skip-launcher

Fancy a brew, ya wanker?

I bled 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, and 21st of October. I plan on doing it backwards this month. My cup and non-existent uterus runneth over. I'm thinking of having a pregnancy scare next month sometime, just in time for the holidays.

Arch doesn't need a marketing department. If someone uses Arch they'll tell you.

Who, me? Never.

I've got a friend who had a dog named D.O.G. He'd always pronounce it like he was saying "the OG". I never figured out whether it actually stood for anything.

Yeah, Eternity (the Infinity fork for Lemmy) is comparably new.

I've really been enjoying it.

I did that when I had an awesome landlord. I just sent pics about what I was fixing and gave her a price. Then I got my rent reduced by that much.

But that was the only rental property she owned. It was extra money for her, not her primary income. And I paid several hundred less than anyone else in the area according to Zillow.
