@es0mhi @fdroidorg I was really just asking what I should post to the "report a violation" form.

I actually looked on the site some after and there's actually nothing. There's no way for someone in the US to petition anyone about this. Can send to congressmen to try to get it worked out later maybe... :p

The sad fact is there's no law being violated here that I know of. Can't report a violation if there isn't one.

@Coerciveobmutescence @skeletor I just learned of it today when I saw that someone is pissed off they're putting pronouns on pronoun man's desk nameplate. I don't know about Skeletor, but I'm excited to see more of that.

@fesshole Teachers are often very bright and have a lot of experience with "cunts". I'm trusting their judgment.

@guigsy @exador23 Been thinking this is the way to go. I have a CPAP I have an inverter for but I could probably make a USB adapter for it and it'd be happier.

@Gargron LibreWolf is firefox based, doesn't currently have AI, and supports uBlock (I think it may come by default but I install it a weird way so I'm not sure).

Can't tell you about the rest of it. Not sure if it not having AI is just a face thing or not, but I never have to look at it (except it's in all the search engines now too and librewolf clears preferences that turn it off by default).

@steter @georgetakei She straight up didn't have a chance. Nothing she could have done would have changed that. There are certainly things she could have said and done that would have been smarter, but it was a truly hopeless cause.

Trump knew this too. Do you not recall how he was acting at the end there? Like nothing mattered at all. Like his totally empty stadiums didn't matter and he could stand there staring at the ground for 40 minutes.

Then he bragged about Musk rigging it.

@fesshole Age isn't mentioned.

@jwildeboer You have to understand, there's a clear difference here. Trump isn't being hypocritical or anything.

The guy he pardoned is guilty as they get.

I believe every word of this.

If a driver usually logs on at 10 PM and accepts every garbage $3 order instantly without hesitation, the algo tags them as "High Desperation." Once they are tagged, the system then deliberately stops showing them high-paying orders. The logic is: "Why pay this guy $15 for a run when we know he’s desperate enough to do it for $6?" We save the good tips for the "casual" drivers to hook them in and gamify their experience, while the full-timers get grinded into dust.
...

... I sit in the weekly sprint planning meetings where Product Managers (PMs) discuss how to squeeze another 0.4% margin out of "human assets" (that’s literally what they call drivers in the database schemas). They talk about these people like they are resource nodes in a video game, not fathers and mothers trying to pay rent.

@dalias You don't really want to trust that too much anyway. There's some, sure, but for the wide array of apps in the database the involvement of the distro in "vetting" is minimal. It also really depends on the distro, again. Some are just a bunch of rehashed packages thrown together without much testing at all.

@Socratease @Clutha @dalias Was just going to recommend Mint.

I have used Mint for a long time. I used to be really into making my Linux all custom and stuff but lost interest for a while. During that time I used Mint. It's super easy to install and use.

You might go the xfce route instead of cinnamon because it might be more familiar to a Mac user. Cinnamon seems to me at least to be more Windows like. It's kinda its own too though so try if you like. I like.

@dalias That part has its pluses and minuses actually. A lot of people just really prefer the download an installer and run it approach. They know nothing of DLL hell.

So the fact that the app has to be packaged for your specific distribution is a real draw back that you don't bring attention to when evangelizing until you got them hooked already. Oh, BTW...there's this bullshit...but it's OK because....

Things have improved a lot. A lot more works together. There's flatpacks...

@bruces I mean...

This is all probably 100% true. Apparently shrooms are proving themselves to be quite good for people suffering from like ptsd and anxiety and shit. Probably DO affect a wide array of markers for "longevity" or whatever. Whatever you can do to relax and let go the bullshit being the thing.

You can't just slip into your own nirvana. You build up a tolerance and your legs start to hurt for some reason.

@bruces This is even better than the college book on neuroscience that's quoted as saying it's an AI and shouldn't be used as a reliable source of information.

@jens One of the harder hitting things to happen to me this year is I had a melt down over my email showing me a horrible video that was a link in an attachment in a pdf. Happened as DOGE was storming government buildings and installing Russian servers.

I worked for a client in Europe at the time and one of the guys who worked there decided to talk to me about how DOGE was maybe doing right. Went on and on about immigrants. I said what about me?

I'm "different" somehow.

It's everywhere.

@whitequark I wonder if gro.grebdoc is taken on opennic.

@GreenSkyOverMe @anarchris @adbenitez Or use nixos-anywhere to log in through ssh and replace whatever OS is running with your preconfigured whatchamit flake.
