yes but saving billions of future lgbtq+ people! It’s called effective altruism!

I think I did, but nothing that a resync didn’t fix.

Installed Mint last week. I already ported most of my personal stuff there ; as a user of FOSS software, it was a breeze. Still dual booting Windows because of work, but I’ll start trying to see if I can get the required tools to work on there too.

For now, my biggest issue was that connecting my Bluetooth headphones to both Linux and Windows was fucky but, lo and behold, there was a guide online that told me exactly how to make sure both OS had the same device ID.

It’s not a painless experience yet, but it’s way less painful than what it was running Win95 back then. And it feels so good to finally flip Microsoft the bird.

I was wondering about the source for this figure. For the curious, it comes from a private report from an independent consulting firm in the UK called MacroStrategy Partnership. I found this article talking about it, dated 2025-10-3.

There is something humorous about the fact that they give this description

a plastic surgery and fashion trend among American conservative and Republican women […]

And later gives this list

Notable public figures described as having the Mar-a-Lago face include First Lady Melania Trump, Matt Gaetz, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Kristi Noem, and Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump.

There is a good joke to be made about Matt Gaetz being the only “man” in it, but I fail to find the words that safely makes it feel acceptable, so I’ll just point it out and assume that lout probably had choice words about the importance of “masculinity” or some such.

Who cares about productivity. You’ve reclaimed your time, and napping is probably better for you than whatever you were getting from Reddit.

yeah I don’t really think what I’ve written above is coming. I just expect nothing less from that class than to turn a solution into a new problem. Should have been more explicit about that.

“So, I don’t get why you people keep complaining. This is a green technology! Why are you so mad we’ve been evaporating the oceans at a speed to keep up with the demand for sodium? As if this is what has been causing all these new hurricanes and flood!”

• A trillionaire in 20 years or something.

The current timeline made me into a grumpy pessimist. I need to get out of that mindset.

gotta be careful with the wording, because “common sense” has such a broad meaning that it can be used by fascist to distort reality.

Only if he was with the rest!

mess with the best…

You might be confused because of the difference on names, but an executive order is rather close to a dictat.

But you can make it a new word if you need your orange man to be in a special category. Maybe “executiveordertator” so you won’t be confused anymore.

Another low-quality, gilded thing from Trump World.

nice of you to assume only American eyes are here, not at all feeding into the American exceptionalism trope, nope, not at all.

oh yeah most definitely and I agree. My real serious positions are :

• Tax billionaires
• let’s create more common services for shit everybody needs (housing, food, insurance, etc)
• start setting up universal basic income for the rest

My previous comment was more of a way to commiserate about those services than offering the advice that This Is The Way.

Imagine if a people actually chose to ban those websites tho. I would start my journey to become a Turk. (♫ ff7 turks theme and snaps ♫) Unfortunately, Erdoğan.

I mean, some ideologies in the TESCREAL bundle kinda are barreling toward that. What is the ideology behind Roko’s Basilisk if not that? They just aren’t organized yet - and I hope we can help those who fall for that lunacy before it becomes something more dangerous and sinister.

I once deleted the whole production kubernetes environment trying to fix an update to prod give awry, at11pm. My saving grace was that our systems are barely used between 10pm-8am, and I managed to teach myself by reading enough docs and stack overflow comments to rebuild it and fix the initial mistake before 5am. Never learned how to correctly use a piece of stack that quickly before or since.

Tetsuya Nomura disapproves. Need more belts.

I use Symfonium and an easily happy with it, if it helps. Not foss - you have a one time fee (aka buying - not a subscription), however. I found it worth it, and use it in conjunction with a Navidrome instance.
