[lubuntu-devel] Lubuntu-devel Digest, Vol 73, Issue 2

[Fritz Hudnut]

U . . . S . . . of A . . . .  I was on Spectrum when this was happening
before, but I just switched over to Frontier FIOS.  No proxies, no VPNs,
etc.  Today or yesterday I had no problem with Lu.me, only Discourse; I was
speaking historically, and in that history I have sent console browser logs
two times . . . to varying levels of response, but neither time was there
shown anything that you found definitive.

I'm not going to lose any sleep over this problem, so many other things to
worry about, like the rogue state malign players of the world doing
dastardly things . . . etc.  The rise of fascism in our democracy--so much
more to worry about.
