They are slowly pulling out of the Android there too. They've deprecated the Amazon shopping app on the fire tablets. Now, selecting that app will open the stock browser to the Amazon homepage. Likewise, there used to be a Amazon Photos app that had decent storage and would sync photos across devices. Now, if you want to look at local photos, you use the gallery app. If you want to look at cloud photos, you use the website.

When I started with Linux, I started with vim because the tutorials I was working off used vi and vim. Once I started with vim and learned the commands, I wasn't going to switch to something else... there's a joke somewhere in there about not knowing how to exit... but I'm not making it.
If I was going to write documentation now for a Linux newbie, I'd probably pick nano to start with.

Generations has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 47 while First Contact is at 93. See my table below. Now that we've gotten a bad one out of the way, I'd watch four to six movies with the SNW Crew.

I don't hate this.
People made a big deal about Michelle Obama missing Jimmy Carter's funeral. Why wasn't President Elon there? Hmmm. Why isn't that being covered?
This was the last one I was waiting for!
