Is there a #Linux #InstallParty happening around #Atlanta, #Georgia, USA anytime soon? I think I'm ready to make the switch (for myself and my husband) but I'm not as technical as I used to be and I'm not sure I can do it myself. Any help, including boosts, is appreciated! :linux: ❤️

"...#generic versions of a groundbreaking #injectable drug to prevent HIV will be made available from 2027 at around $40 a year in more than 100 low and middle-income countries..."

That's AWESOME!!! 👏 🥳 ❤️

Meanwhile:
"Marketed under the brand name Yeztugo by California-based Gilead Sciences, lenacapavir currently costs around $28,000 a year in the US." 💢 😠 :angrycat:

"it's a heist, wrapped in a coup, disguised as a political party"

🎯 yes, that's exactly what is is

#Heist = #musk, #Coup = #trump, #PoliticalParty = #republicans

Thank you for sharing this.
I believe I found the original source of the material. It's a little longer and goes into some additional details. I think more people should know about this!

A new #iPhone app, ICEBlock, allows users to anonymously report real-time sightings of ICE activity, similar to Waze.

#ICE officials have condemned the app, stating it endangers officers due to a recent 500% increase in assaults against them. [#fuckICE :fuck_face:]

The app's developer says ICEBlock is a #grassroots effort to inform #communities about ICE operations and help #people avoid confrontations.

There is no #logic here. #Texas #Republicans have jumped the shark with three breathtakingly #stupid #bills targeting #RenewableEnergy in their state which, I remind you, has the worst, most vulnerable power grid in the #US.

@GossiTheDog

Kevin, your posts offer important info but don't reach much of your potential audience because you frequently don't provide alt-text. It's your one black mark on an otherwise great account. Especially with images such as this that are only text, there's really no excuse.

This is weird, right?

I use an #extension *developed by Google¹* as a #dictionary in my #browser. I've been using it for 12+ years. I've never seen this behavior.

If I use the extension to search for the word 'fascist' or 'fascism', I get "no definition found."
If I search for those words via #Google #Search, I get the expected results. I noticed this about 3 hours ago.

Does anyone have an idea what's going on here?

¹I am aware I need to move away from google. I will.

@selzero

I don't know who this is but he is SPOT ON. 🎯 I admit I was a doomscroller but I had to give it up because it was driving me mad. I finally realized couldn't keep reading all those upsetting stories that I could do literally nothing about except worry.

A) Regardless what you tell yourself, that's not useful.
B) It's not healthy either.
C) Who are you ignoring so you can feel good about worrying about something else?

Now if I can just get my husband to see it my way. It's a struggle!

@lowqualityfacts

I learn so much from you!

Fact: The average lifespan of an empire is (was?) around 250 years.

Fact: The USA is 248 years old.

These facts are unrelated. I don't even know why I brought them up.

"Her life would have been much easier had she had a right to maternity leave, paid by her employer.

"Under a new law in Belgium - the first of its kind in the world - this will now be the case. Sex workers will be entitled to official #employment contracts, #health #insurance, pensions, maternity leave and #sick days. Essentially, it will be treated like any other #job."
