Creeps are a problem for more than just women. I downloaded Scruff, a gay dating app, a few weeks ago and the very first interaction I had on there was a guy starting off the interaction asking about my genitals (🚩, but I tactfully disclose being trans in my profile…) and immediately after I explained he asked for pictures. And my profile says I don’t do pics.

Some men just suck.

At least the US KitKats aren’t Nestle.

I won’t say I’m boycotting Nestle per se, but I try to avoid their stuff. There’s a bag of strawberry cheesecake KitKats from Japan on my desk, lol. They’re pretty good.

Maybe look into Bazzite if you get impatient waiting for SteamOS to become more widely available.

Have you tried… not being a mutant?

Eh, Windows has broken grub before even if it’s on a separate drive, some Windows update did that last year.

I think you’re right about creating demand for more consumer like support, someone in in another comment chain on this post mentioned several Danish municipalities doing something similar with their schools…

Is there a relevant cert to do this kind of work yet? I think it would be interesting to do Linux tech support. Maybe just find a junk laptop and work my way through the Arch wiki breaking and fixing stuff (since my main Linux distro has been incredibly hands off so far)?

Piefed has community migration tools that Lemmy lacks, by moving to piefed communities got to keep old posts they otherwise wouldn’t have.

Maybe Shaun, the leftist skull on YouTube? I don’t recognize the quote but it seems like something he’d say and based on Lemmy’s politics I’d bet he’s popular here.

Ubuntu is the miracle whip of distros.

The weight distribution could be difficult to get right, they’re weighted everywhere. Target has a few I’ve been tempted by, they’re cute and soft, but I can’t in good conscience recommend anyone shop there.

Groverhaus is a vibe coder built house. Load bearing drywall.

I bought a nook simple touch a couple of weeks ago for $20, look into the Phoenix Project for those.

Joker vs Red Skull moment

Canada’s assisted suicide program has some serious problems. They’re pushing people with disabilities to suicide rather than provide enough money and community support for them to have a decent quality of life. A paralympic athlete was offered it and she was justifiably offended.

In the abstract, I’m in favor of it. There needs to be significant thought put into how it’s implemented though, and it can’t be done in lieu of a reasonable quality of life for disabled people like Canada did.

I’ve read Consider Phlebas, due to either your or another lemmings’ recommendation and it’s very ‘80s sci fi in writing style. I felt it required a bit too much attention for a good audio book at work, but wasn’t really interesting enough to pick up the physical book. Player of Games is supposed to be very different, is it worth giving it a shot or is Iain Banks’ writing just not to my taste?

Even better, the equivalent irl cultures. Most cities have groups advocating for better bike and pedestrian infrastructure and better public transit.

Some form of translation, ai or not, along with an image description option (that users would proofread before posting) could actually be cool.

I’m glad it’s not a thing here because as a “positive” incentive I feel like it drives some users to vapid karma farming over actually interesting and new content. That said, I occasionally miss it when there’s some unpleasant commenter douchenozzeling all over a thread and it’s an easy way to see if someone is always an unpleasant ass or if they’re having a bad day and otherwise make valuable contributions to Lemmy.

I’m not the person you’re replying to, but I don’t think it’s paranoid to think the three letter agencies have this tech. Back in 2013 NSA could do it, seemingly through a virus. Now? It’s probably more trivial on certain phones. Apparently the “find my iPhone” feature works on the most recent generations of iPhones even when they’ve powered off, and some phones will ring a set alarm when when off (I’ll get back to you with an edit if my older smartphone has that feature).

If you’re being specifically targeted by three letter agencies it might be a concern. Everyone else I don’t know.

And there’s stuff that just can’t be made into a Flatpak. Someone mentioned in another thread that they wanted to use Waydroid on their deck, Bazzite has it built in but Steam OS doesn’t - maybe there’s a way to layer it on SteamOS but that’s sort of tricky to do (idk I don’t have a Steam Deck but I run Bazzite on my laptop).
