My wife and I recently had a child. We came home the other day to a book in the mail; “The Little Engine That Could”. It was sent by a foundation that Dolly either started or contributes heavily to. She chose that book as the introductory book because it reminds her of the struggles her father endured and overcame learning to read. Fuck whoever dispareges Dolly Parton in the neck with a rusty screwdriver.

Is there any eli5 guides to things like f-Droid or the other platforms(?) (it used to be called ‘rooting’, don’t know what it is now) to be able to install LibreTube? Following the faq link from github, I see 3 download options, one I recognize as f-Droid, and 2 others.

I realize this should be “android 101”, but my ability to problem solve stuff like this is slipping away from me. (protect your brain, kids!).

Trump supporters try to doxx jurors and post violent threats after his conviction (t.co)

“We need to identify each juror. Then make them miserable. Maybe even suicidal,” wrote another user on the same forum. “1,000,000 men (armed) need to go to washington and hang everyone. That’s the only solution,” wrote another user. “This s— is out of control.”...

And that’s not being snide - they actually had that on the giant scroller at the rnc convention!

Just to carry this train of thought forward… What type of device (make/OS) did you compose this post with? Unless you found a way to pass tcp via… I don’t know… clay you dig up in your back yard, it’s pretty hard to avoid ecological damage and morally-questionable employment practices. Participating in damn near any way with any economy makes all of us complicit, and at this point all we’re arguing is to what degree makes each of us uncomfortable.

So we’re just skipping the part about the execs treating themselves to a concert after many years of union busting, horrid working conditions, innumerable other abuses, and excluding the workers. But we’re going to shit on the people they hired for a gig.

Look, I despise Amazon and Jeff bezos. I avoid Amazon and work hard to find products from retailers that aren’t Amazon storefronts. But at some point, unless you’re self-employed and completely self-sustaining, you’re 1) whoring yourself out to somebody, and 2) sucking the knob of capitalism somewhere.

All we’re left to argue is matter of degrees.

I’m talking about the point of the article and you know it. Which is why I have you noted as “Bad Faith”

And yet the Foo fighters and specifically Dave do benefit concerts raising millions and actually cook and feed disadvantaged people by the thousands. They also do (at last I knew) an annual multi-day trolling of the westboro Baptist church compound, which is a great thing imho.

Now, what is the measure of a man? Is it a sliding scale? Is it just the sums? Sure, that house framer has smaller sins, but does he have a smaller positive impact? Does it matter?

As I said in my last sentence, we’re all just arguing degrees.

Votemaster and Zenger at electoralvote.com have a decent site. They take a ‘model of models’ approach and while their editorials are decidedly liberal, they put math and statistical analysis at the forefront and show their work.

And who is what at that mid-level grouping on the left vertical? I could guess at the colors, but I’ve come up with 9 different possibilities. It’d be nice to be able to tell which is leveling off and which is accelerating.

Railing5132 ,

Which, if he’s making appeals based off the verdict (thus profiting off a crime), those funds could be seized as well, I believe. (your mileage may vary, check with local jurisdictions for details)

Railing5132 ,

I’m sure the appeal was delivered before the ink was even dry on this verdict. (was this in the state Supreme Court?)

Railing5132 ,

All right, get into the idiot squisher.

Only if you speak it at a 45-degree angle in red. If you buy my audio book I’ll explain how to do this.

Yeah, I mean we knew this at the time and there was reporting on the immoluments clause back then. The result was… crickets.

‘A catastrophe’: Greenpeace blocks planting of ‘lifesaving’ Golden Rice (www.theguardian.com)

“others may die for my ideals, but that’s a price I’m willing to pay”

Lol, ok

I get what you’re saying, but in the case of the games in question, it’s a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation, don’t you agree? Get them while they’re young and impressionable?

Railing5132 ,

I hear what you’re saying, but how many hours are logged by some swimming in images of fps games? I’d argue, from my interaction with teens, that there are far more hours logged than passively watching any media. But that’s not the point anyway.

Our American society is swimming with a gun obsession. Whether it’s via video games, movies, social media, politicians, the NRA, “2nd ammendment cities” (wtf), and too many more avenues to think of. Games are just one vector of marketing guns to a maleable population. The core of this suit is that a manufacturer was pushing their models within the game in collusion with Activision. I believe advertising guns to a kids demographic is prohibited. I’d search it, but I’m lazy and the AI results would be wrong anyway.

Railing5132 ,

Oh, I completely agree. There is no single thing that is the “magic cure”. There are a bunch of factors that add up to a fetishization of guns and gun culture / violence in the US. And the incredible availability of guns makes gun violence inevitable.

Railing5132 ,

As I mentioned to the other replier, other countries don’t have the mass promotion of gun violence coupled with the ready access to an incredible variety of firearms.

Eeehhhh, I’m kinda OK with this guy being excused from general society for a bit. I’d prefer he had the chance to learn how to be a better human (like the Nordic countries’ models), but I can hope and vote for those changes while he’s in time out.

Railing5132 ,

He shits himself regularly. The press in the D.C. (?) courtroom were complaining about the putrid stench. The news of that getting out sparked this particular branch of insanity.

Railing5132 ,

Yeah, I figured I was misremembering. The last couple of days have been a hell of a month. And I was too lazy to double check.

Railing5132 ,

From what I recall, he’s been doing it since at least “The Apprentice”, where he’d shit himself on set and wouldn’t do anything about it. It was alongside news about office cabinets and desk drawers crammed with boxes upon boxes of… Sudafed(?) but I don’t know the pharmacology of that (shrug)

I’m sitting in the pediatric ICU with my 1-month old child. Yesterday, she went into respiratory arrest and they called a code blue on her. I thought she was dying in my arms, and I’m still shaking with fear, although she’s doing better. I CANNOT FATHOM any father putting their child into such harm. I hope, with all my heart, the child recovers fully, and the father died (or dies) slowly, screaming.

She was accused of faking an incriminating video of teenage cheerleaders. She was arrested, outcast and condemned. The problem? Nothing was fake after all (www.theguardian.com)

Madi Hime is taking a deep drag on a blue vape in the video, her eyes shut, her face flushed with pleasure. The 16-year-old exhales with her head thrown back, collapsing into laughter that causes smoke to billow out of her mouth. The clip is grainy and shaky – as if shot in low light by someone who had zoomed in on Madi’s...

Hell, the supreme court codified “gut feeling” into fucking law.

I can’t remember the name of the case, but it was referenced in “Talking to Strangers” by Malcolm Gladwell. A guy was pulled over because the cop believed the lens to his taillight was cracked, which led to an arrest on drug possession charges. Turns out, the state that they were in didn’t have a law about ‘cracked lenses’, but the cop thought they did. Our fucked up SC upheld the probable cause, the resulting search and seizure, and all the rest of the fruit of the poisonous tree by saying: "that the officer thought the activity was illegal was enough basis for a probable cause stop.

We are truly fucked, ladies and gentlemen.

r/sysadmin and the size of this community

So I have been a part of this community for a while and it seems pretty quiet. I know Lemmy is not as big as Reddit so this community will always be much smaller but I kind of miss the activity on r/sysadmin. Infinity for Reddit still works for view only so I have been scrolling though posts on Reddit as some of the stories and...

The absolute only thing I go back to reddit for is the patch Tuesday megathread. I do dearly wish that info was here so I could cut ties completely.

Regarding the second picture…

  1. I gauran-damn-tee that every last pharmaceutical in those kits has been expired at least 7 years, and
  2. the “made with military grade” shelf-stable meals (they’re not military MRE’s) - means they were made as cheaply as legally possible to still be called “food”.

Peppers are a strange lot. My kid’s ex’s dad kept 2,000lbs of dry beans in his house ‘just in case.’ Didn’t have a functioning furnace, hot water heater, or stove - but made sure to check on his bean inventory every week.

Damnit. Fuck it. I’m committed to it now.

Apple crushes creativity and its reputation in new iPad ad (www.theregister.com)

The ad itself depicted a mechanical crusher destroying artifacts of human creativity. A trumpet, guitar, sculpture, piano, drawing board, paints, a metronome, several analog cameras, a turntable, and hi-fi equipment were among the much-loved items yielding to the machine’s unstoppable force.

The absolute worst, most annoying thing about every Apple advert and the day-long adverts - the launch day events, is the freaking hyperbole.

My coworker is fully bought in to the ecosystem, so I get the full experience every launch day. Listen critically sometime. Turn on your bullshit filter. It’s a fun game.

Which is a special kind of ironic since China withdrew all their pandas from American zoos due to trade ‘wars’ (i.e. Tariffs in some goods) including the fantastic program at the San Diego zoo.
