Those will… not sell. Elementary school kids have smart phones. This isn’t 2009 when the cool kids are sharing earbuds to listen to their Zune.

But… bathrooms!!! With the children!!! /s

Nah, everyone else are haters or secret top 40 listeners.

You should avoid judgemental sexual partners anyways. Foot fetishes are considered “weird” if that’s how you phrase it. Generally speaking, it’s not that uncommon. Don’t open up with a partner about kinks unless you trust them not to run their mouth.

I think this applies to every breeder, regardless if they do pure breeds or trendy mutts.

I’d rather mix breeds gain popularity than pure breeds

Just call me Britney

No, they cannot. I hope someone gives you a more in depth answer because I’m very sleepy. Socially, just because a state votes red doesn’t mean that everyone there is awful. It would not be fair to those citizens.

I do believe that texas has the right to secede. It won’t happen, but it was part of the bargin to rejoin after the Civil War.

I’m also pretty new to Linux, but I’ve finally gotten a bit of a grasp on it. I started learning Linux to set up a home server, so I also jumped straight into Docker. You have gotten some thorough replies, but I thought I’d share my chaotic journey with it that has ended in a decent ratio of success vs confusion. Note: I have used Ubuntu from the start.

Don’t use docker desktop. It’s garbage. Also, don’t use the Snap image.

$sudo apt install docker.io

$sudo apt install docker-compose

Those are both cli “programs”. They aren’t apps like you have on Windows. It seems VERY intimidating to talk into the void of the terminal, but you’ll build confidence. Docker commands work like any other commands, all in the same place.

Now install Portainer CE. The instructions are very simple to follow. You can reach Portainer through your browser at the localhost address it gives you, which you type directly into the URL bar. I think it’s localhost:9000.

Portainer will give you an easy visual way to manage Docker. You can perform many tasks through Portainer instead of using the command line. Honestly, I’m pretty sure you could do everything on Portainer and not even touch the terminal. I don’t suggest that because you will have to have at least a basic understanding of how Linux and Docker work. You will be confused, and you will feel crazy. Eventually, you’ll get more comfortable living in that psychosis.

On to Docker Compose!! This is my preferred way to run containers. I have a designated folder in /opt that I use for my compose files. This way, I know exactly how I set up my programs. My memory is awful and I tweak things so often that I’ll completely forget how I have even gotten to this point or where ANY of my files are. It’s pretty easy to find docker compose files online that you can copy and paste and it instantly works!

To make it simple, after I have saved my docker-compose.yaml file in the designated folder, I right click on the empty area and choose “open in terminal”.

$sudo docker-compose up -d

The -d instructs the program to continue to run, even if you exit out of the terminal. At this point, your container will also show up in portainer!

I think that covers the basics. My biggest tip is to keep a notepad handy to write down commands that you have to search for. Your bookmarks will fill up very quickly otherwise. Expect to get stuck sometimes. Expect to spend hours trying to troubleshoot an issue, then have it suddenly work with no idea what you actually did to fix it. Accept the win and never touch it again.

I have done fresh installs many times. Some because I’ve played with 10 different programs that I decided against and want the leftover files gone, some because I wanted to try different mixes of distros, and once because I legitimately broke the OS.

Keep your important stuff on an external drive to avoid any loss and don’t be afraid to mess around with it!

Btw, I’m a huge KDE plasma fan. It’s lighter than GNOME, but very user friendly. I’ve settled on Kubuntu as my distro of choice.

Thank you! I’ll look into that

Embryo loss is integral to IVF. Alabama’s ruling equating embryos with children jeopardizes its practice (www.statnews.com)

An embryo is one of the earliest stages of development of a multicellular organism. But according to the Supreme Court of Alabama, it is a person, too — an unborn child, entitled to the same legal protections as any minor....

ugh ,

I read some bickering about this amongst conservatives, and the reasoning seems to be:

  1. Conception should occur from sex because of the love between husband, wife, and God or something
  2. Typically, they’ll harvest(?) multiple embryos, check if they are viable or have genetic abnormalities, then discard those that aren’t viable or will result in major disabilities. To them, this is killing those unviable/unhealthy “babies”. Sometimes the couple will freeze multiple embryos as backups, but not need them after a successful pregnancy (or more). Those microscopic globs of cells that they call babies are then “murdered”. Their point is that this results in more deaths than lives.

I’m curious what their opinion would be if a woman wanted IVF after 5 miscarriages, was unable to get the treatment, and went on to have 7 more miscarriages, still without having a successful birth. To be real, fundie couples who refuse contraceptives and are hell bent on having a child could go through many more miscarriages than that.

ugh ,

IUDs and some birth control pills work by preventing implantation. Those would be banned, too.

Another successful OpenBSD setup

I've been buying these little boxes from AliExpress for years to use as firewalls and routers. My oldest one is almost 9 years old now! OpenBSD installs just fine. Just a BIOS tweak to always boot up after power is restored.

I’m glad to see that we’re not all addicts here

ugh ,

Education is the obvious fix, but at least in America, the idiots are trying to destroy it. If people learned critical thinking, almost everything else would fall into place. If we stopped reinforcing learned helplessness and made people practice logic and learn consequences, society would see a huge benefit. People need to be held accountable for their ignorance. Otherwise, they won’t learn. Those who refuse to learn should rightfully be shunned, because they’re the biggest propaganda weapon out there.

Cognitive dissonance is another major reason for idiocracy. The MAGAts are so blatant about their love for it. “Wokeness” is healing from cognitive dissonance, which they’ve labeled as a virus.

I’m sympathetic and offer to help someone if they’re being a bit stupid (all of us have our moments), but if they refuse, that’s where they should be held accountable.

ugh ,

They’re insecure about their intelligence but too prideful to admit when they don’t know something, even to themselves.

Emails Reveal How a Hospital Bowed to Political Pressure to Stop Treating Trans Teens (www.propublica.org)

The Medical University of South Carolina initially said it wouldn’t be affected by a law banning use of state funds for treatment “furthering the gender transition” of children under 16. Months later, it cut off that care to all trans minors.

ugh ,

This is just like what’s happening in the conservative states where abortion has been banned and criminalized. Hospitals have dissolved their maternity wings altogether because of the risk that the hospital faces. It’s the same for trans health care. The risk is too great, even if they follow the laws. Backlash over false claims on Twitter is bad enough by itself for a company.

ugh ,

I struggle to see what someone could do with that information. My ethnicity is already known by the government and every advertiser collecting my information online. I randomly had my identity connected to my cousin’s before any family took DNA tests. Her name would show up in those questionnaires along with what car I’ve owned and where I’ve lived when I had to go through online government stuff.

I’m relatively paranoid about giving out personal information, but I don’t consider my spit very sensitive.

ugh ,

What is your concern with doing a DNA spit test? I’m honestly curious, because I haven’t heard an actual answer yet. I don’t see how it exposes any more information compared to what advertisers already have.

ugh ,

That’s a good point that I hadn’t considered. I’m not sure how that would go over legally in the US. They could gather very similar information by looking at records from relatives who have used the same insurance company, even just financial records, but that is monitored closely by the government. I wonder if we’ll be seeing any lawsuits in the near future.

ugh ,

I guess it would generate a bigger pool of people if they want to get super technical about who they want to genocide. US citizens already have to hand over their demographics to the government, but worst case… I could entertain that idea.

Ultrasound can push vaccines into the body without needles (www.newscientist.com)

Vaccines can be delivered through the skin using ultrasound. This method doesn’t damage the skin and eliminates the need for painful needles. To create a needle-free vaccine, Darcy Dunn-Lawless at the University of Oxford and his colleagues mixed vaccine molecules with tiny, cup-shaped proteins. They then applied liquid...

ugh ,

They don’t care about women who are considering abortion. I’d be more worried that they’d implement a less reliable test.

You can’t even buy MP3s anymore?? I haven’t paid for a digital download since before smart phones. I would be more concerned about downloading digital content from a website that charges for it rather than pirating tbh. Where did the seller get it from in the first place??

That’s not a bad black-market business model, actually…

ugh ,

Which is almost impossible now. You can’t even play offline games without internet access because companies force you to use their app to launch it.

I thought I would be able to get around that system with EA by purchasing a hard copy of the game circa 2016, but nope, I just bought a plastic case to throw away. I miss the old days of owning things.

ugh ,

A lot of people are getting back into pirating because of this. If a show isn’t on a streaming service you use, you either pay $2/episode and hope that Amazon doesn’t drop it, or you pirate it. I went almost a decade without pirating, and now I just bought a 5tb SSD for my Plex server. I’m tempted to fully convert now that I’ve already set everything up, too.

My 1995 truck could handle that throw, but sure, we’ll call it “innovation”

They’re going to run out of options

ugh ,

Christianity, racism and corruption. Politicians love to target poor people, and prostitution is a job that often draws in the desperate. Conveniently, POC make up a large percentage of the impoverished population.

Sex trafficking is out of control in the US, yet it’s never talked about by politicians. Even with Epstein, the focus was on how terrible he and his accomplices were, not on the actual problem. Not the thousands of other women and girls who are still being trafficked in the US. Legalizing prostitution is pretty much the only answer.

ugh ,

The headline leaves out the most important part. Ads aren’t only being shown on porn sites, but they’re also appearing on websites that are hosted by sanctioned countries (eg, Russia). If those websites are getting kickbacks from Google, that violates laws. The EU is already investigating it.

ugh ,

I started messing with Linux to build a home server a few months ago. I am now fully in the Linux/FOSS cult, and as soon as I figure out how to either run Adobe on Linux or use the alternative software, I am nuking Windows on my personal computers. The bloatware is insufferable, not to mention shit like this.

ugh ,

Based on the other comments, they blocked the raw url.

ugh ,

I read that Linux usage is much higher in India (I think ~13% vs 5% in the US, though the statistics are probably outdated). I am totally ignorant when it comes to India, so correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m wondering if the rise of Linux users has something to do with the government trying to limit access to Github.

Sounds like a win for Tesla and SpaceX employees.

Eh, it depends on the intention behind the word. Narcissistic personality disorder is, by definition, a disability (as are all mental disorders). In practice, it isn’t treated as such because they’re just assholes. Therapy is the only treatment, and the likelihood of a narcissist actually seeking treatment is basically 0.

Most people throw the term around loosely, much like “psychopath.” I’m mainly being pedantic and do agree that it is often the best word to use to describe people who exhibit narcissistic symptoms. Selfish and egotistical can be an understatement for even neurotypical people.

I’m just really interested in psychology and have a compulsion to talk about it to internet strangers who never asked and probably don’t care.

100% vanilla distribution challenge

what does this consist of? Well, it’s easy, whenever you install a new distribution of Linux, don’t customise anything, nothing please!! Out of the box experience, you may install software but that’s all. And if you are already using a customised distro, then delete the .config file and reboot, but please be careful and...

ugh ,

I’m very confused about what OP considers customization. My only experience has been setting up my home server so far, so maybe I’ll be compelled to do more “customizing” when I make the switch on my PCs.

Does installing a GUI on Ubuntu Server already break that rule? Or is it a success because it’s only software? It’s definitely not “out of the box”.

ugh ,

I use multiple paid streaming services but still pirate any movies that I enjoy so that I have everything in one place (Plex). It feels redundant until I’m constantly looking online to see which service has whatever I’m wanting to watch.

ugh ,

Read the article. It’s like journalists are actively trying to lose his bid for re-election through misleading headlines…

At Meta, Millions of Underage Users Were an ‘Open Secret,’ States Say (www.nytimes.com)

Meta has received more than 1.1 million reports of users under the age of 13 on its Instagram platform since early 2019 yet it “disabled only a fraction” of those accounts, according to a newly unsealed legal complaint against the company brought by the attorneys general of 33 states....

ugh ,

People reported the accounts

ugh ,

That’s up to Meta to figure out, but probably not. Obviously they ignored many legitimate reports if the problem has escalated this far. It’s their responsibility to sift through user reports to find the valid ones, then take action.

Do you know how old he was when he developed the white patches?

That’s so cool. I’ve never heard of that before.

Chickens got hit with a bird flu during the start of the pandemic, which made egg prices even higher. A big reason for the drop in price was because the farmers were able to stabilize. It’s probably 50/50 between the fowl epidemic and inflation.

No, because that’s socialism! Trickle down economics and what not!!

Do they really?

I live in Texas but have never looked into solar. The fight to switch to renewable energy will be a long one because of the politicians. Texas makes a shit ton of money from oil. Politicians will continue to convince citizens that renewable energy is dangerous, ill-conceived, and “woke” so that we stick to traditional resources. There’s nothing stopping someone from getting solar panels, but I’d assume it would be more expensive. I don’t know if there has to be prior infrastructure in place, because that would be a problem. Some people don’t even have fast internet in the Houston suburbs because they don’t want to lay all the wire for only 100 people.

ugh ,

It doesn’t seem to be streaming anywhere, so anyone who doesn’t have an excessive amount to spend on a TV series won’t be giving any profits to the creators.

I learned a lot about siberians when I took to the internet to figure out why my stray kitten was so weird. Fun fact- they don’t reach maturity until 6 years old. Mine is 9 and still hasn’t gotten there.

They do make good pets for people who prefer dogs but want more chaos in the house.
