<p>I still love Peppermint OS and have used it on several low end boxes.<p>It also didn't try to be internet browser focused, it just gave you easy ability to make the OS browser focused. Out of the box, it was like a better Lubuntu. You had the opportunity to chose what web based apps/services you would add.</p>

<p>Notepad is turning into the text app I desperately want, except for the association with Copilot. And then with new changes, it had the recent security vulnerabilities issues. The only thing it doesn't have that I want is a sidebar that shows folders or files like so many text editors already do.<p>I never use Notepad anymore. I have been using Pulsar, which is okay, but not exactly what I want.<p>I want a text editor that can do markdown if I want, spell check, minimal tool bar with some formatting shortcuts, etc.<p>I'd love it if a "dumbed down Typora" had a love child with Notepad.</p>

<p>Note that in the article, the author says how the scammers do everything to avoid having to show up in person. That's because they are in a different country and try to commit the scam without setting foot in the US.</p>

<p>What about sinking 3 2x4s into the ground and nailing a 4x8 sheet of plywood with a tastefully painted sign indicating the property is not for sale?<p>It won't stop everyone but any realtor doing due diligence will likely see it. If is lasts long enough, it will show up on Google street view as well.</p>

<p>That's selection bias. Most replies in the post were positive.<p>BrandonM's comment also wasn't that unreasonable in my opinion. Imagine telling someone many years ago that we'd use an app on our phones to get in stranger's car and pay a lot for the privilege as well. His reaction to Dropbox wasn't on point but wasn't tone deaf.<p>Drew from Dropbox responded to the post at the time and BrandonM responded positively, praising the product.<p>It was overall a mature and very fair way of saying it wasn't for him.</p>

<p>Most states in the US have at will employment. That means from the moment you sign the contract, they can fire you at will. So it's like a contract that ends straight away after it starts.</p>
