Only on apps that support it. That’s the maddening part. It’s not unified.

Big question for me, in order to make any sort of educated suggestion: what are the reasons you’re considering switching ecosystems?

- Comment on Cool Project? 4 weeks ago:
Using a proprietary solution that has FOSS components isn’t the same as a FOSS solution. Commercial enterprise support is usually in the form of a vendor support contract (or a proprietary solution that uses FOSS components), which gives the corpo someone to blame.
Also, wasn’t the abacus, technically, open source? So, they couldn’t use that, either.

**former. But yes. One of the reasons I left.
As was pointed out earlier, commercial enterprise support for FOSS is usually in the form of a vendor support contract, which gives the corpo someone to blame.
- Comment on Cool Project? 4 weeks ago:
Very true. And I am not pretending it’s not. I was mostly venting my experience (and frustration) regarding enterprise environments.
- Comment on Cool Project? 4 weeks ago:
I… don’t understand what you’re on about. How does the climate crisis have anything to do with my observation about FOSS enterprise support?
The corpos aren’t looking to be blamed. They’re looking for someone to blame.

- Comment on Cool Project? 4 weeks ago:
This is an admirable project, and I one I support. However, it’s important to note that ‘’‘the issue with open source in an enterprise environment, is that there is no one to blame when things, inevitably, break or are misconfigured. The blame falls on only you, not a vendor.’‘’
Literally the reason my former VP of IT gave me that the CEO gave him.

- Comment on What's the real danger of opening ports? 4 weeks ago:
Imagine opening all the windows in your flat. Then leaving them open for a month. What would happen? How many insects would make their new home in your home? How many critters and cats would do the same?
Now, each window is a port. Your flat is your network. Each critter or cat is a bad actor. Each insect is a bot or virus.

- Comment on Jesus was Jewish, but Christians aren't 5 weeks ago:
Year 0 doesn’t exist in the BC/AD numbering system, but does exist in the astronomical year numbering system, as well as the ISO 8601:2004 numbering system (and, apparently, in most Buddhist and Hindu calendars, which I didn’t know).
- Comment on Jesus was Jewish, but Christians aren't 5 weeks ago:
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
- Matthew 5:17 KJV
To be a follower of Jesus, which is what the disciples originally called themselves, you would need to observe the law… IE, follow the original kosher laws and such.
The real (historical) reasons why Christians don’t follow Jesus’s religious traditions, come from an ease of assimilation. The Catholic church assimilated pagans into the religion, and it was easier to do so by telling them they don’t have to change their current traditions, and that they just have to celebrate Easter, for example, for the birth of Christ and not as a celebration of the goddess of war, love, and fertility.
There are movements that try to go back to this core belief, though. Jews for Jesus and Messianic Judaism are two such movements, where they celebrate Judaism nearly in its entirety, while also believing Jesus was their savior and following his teachings. Truly an interesting, seemingly contradictory, mix of views.
.
I am fully aware that there are disagreements on whether or not Catholicism is Christianity or even whether it’s a monotheistic or polytheistic religion, and, as such, whether the Catholic assimilations of pagans were relevant to Christianity as a whole. But, honestly, I couldn’t care less. In the wise words of Shepherd Book, “I don’t care what you believe in, just believe in it”.

Use no-drill drywall anchors. The plastic ones generally expand when you screw in the screw. The metal ones don’t, since they’re metal and hold better than plastic. I’ve used both, and usually prefer the metal, because they’re easier to remove is I need to.
Plastic:
Or metal (usually zink):
