LXTerminal.

I don't know if increasing the font size counts as customization. I've got old, tired eyes.

Transparency is also turned on, which I think I did with compton. It was a long time ago and seems to persist through Debian's dist upgrades.

It's worth adding that the entire LXDE suite is great software. It just works. I hope I don't have to give it up any time soon.

There's always BSD!

You seriously haven't had to provide tech support to relatives with MacOS. Windows is brilliant in comparison.

I would love to see this on my ATM!

A lot of people deride security by obscurity, but I like using Linux simply because the Linux desktop is secure and isn't as big a target as Windows or MacOS. These "year of the Linux desktop" articles have been coming out for years and I've always thought, "I sure hope not!"

This is why we still need Richard Stallman. That guy never gives up on explaining why manipulative, proprietary software is against our interests.

Use free software -- and when you can't, use ad-blockers, privacy badger, noscript, etc.

That definitely might be it. We definitely share the plates and I can't shake the northern BC accent.

I traveled through Oregon in June and didn't know about this law. I pumped my own gas in Astoria, Portland, and another place and no one stopped me. No one came out to pump my gas either.

Trout slapping is still a thing! There's a Hexchat extension for that!

When I was a kid, I owned a remote control van called the Max Machine. It was sonic, but not ultrasonic. It had a remote with one button that made a loud "clack" when you pressed it. A clack would turn the front wheels left, another would turn them back to the center, another would turn them right, and so on...

The clacking drove my parents crazy. Here's a link: https://flashbak.com/powered-fun-thrills-remembering-schapers-telesonic-toys-mid-1970s-53252/

I guess you could also include "the clapper" among sonically-controlled items. It also had one of the most annoying jingles ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRWtFVFSx5I

Fair. Regular hours, not French revolution decidays.

That being said, today is the 10th day of Thermidor.
