Up top, the title: "Let's see the guy in the red suit top this." Page center, a stocking, but this one filled with a card that reads "Up to $200 off an AMIGA 500." Around the stocking, dense ad copy promises up to $200 off on select Amiga models, and touts their many features ("Increidble graphics with more than 4000 colors, built-in sound, word processing, and three exciting games" "1 MB of RAM, a word processor, a clock/calendar, paint and music programs, and a challenging graphics-oriented game.") Down below, the Amiga with mouse is pictured below the slogan "The Amiga Power Up Program," with the Commodore Amiga logo; the bottom includes dense terms and conditions, and the notice to "Circle Reader Service Number 112."

[xubuntu-users] Public postmortum of the brief Xubuntu.org torrent download compromise last month

There was a compromise of torrent downloads the Xubuntu website last month 😱

It was identified and Downloads page disabled quickly, but here's the response a few of us on the #Xubuntu team put together over the weekend based on what we heard back from Canonical: lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xub...

Like a wound, grief does not heal overnight. As the days pass, let the empty space fill with memories, let the sorrow be replaced with gratitude for the good times, the kind words, and most of all, the part of them that made you who you are.

Many think kindness and humility are signs of weakness. They are wrong. True warriors know that to help others and to ask for nothing in return are the mightiest acts of honor. Cruelty is for the weak. Offer help, show kindness freely, for tomorrow it could be you who requires aid.
