@JenMsft A great non-poison treatment is diatomaceous earth. It's a white powder that just spread around where the ants are walking. You don't need food grade and can get at garden centers, etc

@BrideOfLinux Thanks why I chose years ago. Mostly open source at core but repository local. And great price and no charge for desktop only install.

@racheltobac @lorenzofb How do you think the breach might impact commercial users like vehicle over the air (OTA) updates, if at all?

@birv2 You might try Waterfox, the Firefox derivative, to see if you experience the same slowing. I have not see it on Mint or other Linux distros.

Bezos must rid his newspaper of the taint -- the stench -- of Murdoch. Lewis and Murray need to go. And while you're at it, replace your opinion editor, please.

@BrideOfLinux I was in the early release cohort for a while before it went GA. It is nice and interesting UI and fast, but it has a lot of overhead. And only Mac and Windows. I tried using it 3 times and soon went back to

@BrideOfLinux DuckDuckGo search definitely down for hours overnight. I thought it may have been a DNS reconfiguration but this adds new information that seems logical. And it means that DDG still tied to Bing, which is disappointing.

@carlmalamud Sounds like you are avoiding the Medicare Advantage plans. They can be good for some but become very expensive when you have significant health problems. Supplement Plan G is a nice balance. Some plans are better for international travel.
