lmao. he didn't have the courage to speak out against trump publicly. he didn't have the courage to endorse Harris. he did what he was supposed to do and what any law abiding citizen would have done in his place.

lol. i used Gentoo for 5 years or so. it's the only distribution I don't recommend.

it assumes you have hours of CPU time to waste, and hours of your time to dispatch-config afterwords.

do Debian or arch.

ha. i was wrong. NPR has 44 million weekly listeners. that probably qualifies as mainstream media.

I thought npr had 10 times fewer listeners than that. (fyi NPR is the only radioi listen to)

there have been several articles exposing plastic recycling as green washing. unfortunately they never make it to mainstream media

https://www.npr.org/2022/10/24/1131131088/recycling-plastic-is-practically-impossible-and-the-problem-is-getting-worse

i saw a chart somewhere showing less than 1% of plastic in use today is recycled but I can't find it now

I have so many idiot friends who said "I'm not voting for Harris cause of Israel". I'm betting that line was a plant by the Republicans or Putin. but it stuck. and my friends bought it hook line and sinker.

there's a difference between adults (both over 21) is NBD. but one 16 and one 2, or one 17 and one 22 is concerning.

in some states you would be arrested for statuary rape

I just make /root/.config/nvim a symlink to ~/.config/nvim and running nvim as root gives me all the same settings I'm used to. (I'd rather not run nvim-qt as root though, so in that case sudoedit is useful.)

all comments here unanimously say don't do it!

you need the job. take it, and do it well like the client wants. invest time in developing options so that you won't have to take this job again.

your personal survival comes first

 

Unpaid Basar journalists write story following up on the tragic death of a six-month-old girl who had got caught in a crossfire the previous year as well as landmine deaths in the region. They also report on conditions of new schools, the salaries of teachers and the implementation of government schemes in the area.

One of the authors is murdered and his body is found in a septic tank in the area near his home. He was 32 years old. The main suspect was Contractor Suresh Chandrakar, who had recently had an extravagant wedding for which he’d used a helicopter and organised Russian dancers, and was a distant relative of the victim.

Dear Mark, I hope this finds you well. I noticed something interesting today - it seems Instagram is blocking links to my little open-source project. You know, the one that lets people share photos without harvesting their personal data or forcing algorithmic feeds on them. I have to admit, I'm flattered. Who would've thought a small team of volunteers could build something that would catch your attention? We're just trying to give people a choice in how they share their memories online. No VCs, no surveillance capitalism, just code and community. Remember when Facebook started? It was about connecting people, not maximizing engagement metrics. Our project might be tiny compared to Instagram, but we're staying true to that original spirit of social media - giving people control over their online presence without turning them into products. You could've ignored us. Instead, by blocking our links, you've given us the best endorsement we could ask for. You've confirmed what we've been saying all along - that big tech is more interested in protecting their walled gardens than fostering genuine innovation. Every time you block a link to our platform, you remind people why we built it in the first place. Your action tells them there are alternatives worth exploring, ones that respect their privacy and agency. So thank you, Mark. You've turned our little project into a symbol of resistance against digital monopolies.
