Like you, I created a second account to see if my messages arrive, and they do. Which seems to defeat the point of the feature.
Both your messages came through. Tug On 06/11/2022 08:51, nashjc-ncf wrote:

I do it as a VM to have Windows-only tools e.g., downloading books from public library since Adobe stopped development of Adobe Digital Editions for Linux at V1.72, and libraries require more recent versions.There is a way to get e-books converted to a Linux-readable format, but it is messy.JN On 2022-11-06 07:33, Nicholas Savage wrote:I prepare taxes for myself and five or six other people every year (I was an accountant in a former life). I use StudioTax in a Windows VM to do it. I wish there was a better solution, but that's mostly on the CRA requiring their verification of software first.As a sidenote, my work computer where I do both developer-related things and finance-related things is a Linux host with a Windows VM, and I find it works very well.On Sun, Nov 6, 2022, at 07:03, Rick Leir wrote:RGB, team: While on the topic of uncommon equipment choices, ...

Run Ufile / TurboTax in Wine? Do it on a paper form?

Are you saying a) you're leaving your phone at home? orI don't have a mobile device.b) that when you booked the venue, you were unable to ascertain whether there was a usable internet connection for connecting to a jitsi meeting? orNo idea.*I* can't join any online meeting because I don't have a mobile device.c) you won't be joining the jitsi meeting? orI am hoping others are also craving some in-person interaction and willd) something else I have not been able to imagine?join me at this venue. I'll aim for 18:30. If they happen to have amobile device and can join the jitsi meeting, then we will join the restonline.I will if someone else with a mobile device shows up and chooses to joinBottom line, should our assumption be that we cannot rely on your contributing to a jitsi discussion about CentOS?the jitsi discussion.This follows the previous discussion ideas about alternating online andin-person meetings. I can't imagine that I'm the only one in this position. The dynamics are different in person, and I am seeking that type of interaction because we haven't had that for 2.5 years.Katie: Will you be joining the jitsi meeting to contribute your piece? Thisis so I know how much needs doing to prepare back up topics, JIC. Thanks TugThe link will follow, before Thursday's meeting.
