@midway @realcaseyrollins Well yeah it wasn’t a clean kill, I think he got fired or something it.
So you’re saying the cops are supposed to wait until they got shot to shoot back? Bad take.
Follow up to my Food Rescue at the Farmer's Market with crippling anxiety this last weekend.
I failed.
I did not go.
I woke up and quite literally could not move. Everything came to a head and my body and mind gave out.
Could not will power through it.
Could not muscle it.
So. I managed to eck out a shame filled text to a fellow organizer that I wasn't able to go. They acknowledged and that was that.
But here's a cool thing.
A thing that gives me hope and happiness.
Look at the attached screenshot. Look at the feedback of what happened at the Farmer's Market. Look at the pictures of the group that *did* show up.
Look at what happened without me (in a very good way!).
We can't all do it all alone. We are not MEANT to do it alone. We have to do it as a group. We have to allow any one person to take a break, even a long one.
You don't have to do it all alone. You can do a very tiny bit as you are able to WITHIN your comfort zone.
I crashed this entire weekend. And you know what? I have things that I can do this week (and look forward to doing without anxiety because this is the part that I love to do) that will help out the group.
They helped me as they were able. I will help them as I am able.
We've all got this together.
A few days ago I talked to someone about FreeBSD and the advantages I see in using it. He answered that he tried it some years ago, but once installed, he didn’t know what to do with it.
So I asked why didn’t you know what to do? It’s an operating system and you can do everything you want. I told him about jails and he replied that Linux has docker, so he sees no reason in switching to FreeBSD. I told him above bhyve and he responded that he used KVM. I told him about the licensing model and the freedom it provides but he just shrugged. I told him about the freedom of choice you have as it comes as an OS only and he told me that he doesn’t want to decide everything by himself, he wants something like Ubuntu that makes decisions for its users.
Sometimes we just have to accept that FreeBSD is not for everyone. Or are there any better arguments I should have brought to the table? And yes, I also talked about FreeBSDs init system, but he said he is happy with systemd as he never touches it. You are probably better off with an OS that decides everything for you when you just want to use it like windows.
@Hyperhidrosis @Lyx This story led me down a rabbit hole and I want to get Fedi's resident lawyer @Humpleupagus 's opinion on it.
So the gun used by the boy was a Davis Industries P-32. I never heard of the company. Turns out Davis produced a series of inexpensive handguns, which were sold primarily through pawn shops and marketed towards people with low income
Then I learned that Davis Industries was sued out of existence.. I found this law research paper which sites that NYT article. It advocates for the practice of suing gun companies :kaos_wtf:
@whitequark @esden while IPC is the industry standard, it is not common knowledge even for experienced EEs.
Only a few people I know have actually read any of it.
So for the librarians, we do training on the job.
And we make mistakes, lots of them.
But with reviews only a few bad ones make it into the release.
@dalias it's a testament to how strong the cultural norm has been that if you're "anti tech" in any capacity, you're some kind of loser that isn't cool and can't keep up with the world.
Pretty impressive how the tech industry completely colonized the culture that way.
Equally impressive how HORRIBLE the tech industry had to become before we made a dent in that cultural norm.
GenAI did it.
So much so we're reclaiming "Luddite" as punk-as-hell (it is).
Some folks still catching up LOL
