Republicans: Nooooo we can’t add flouride to the water supply

Also Republicans: mmm tasty lead

I read about ActualBudget and although it’s not the most useful thing for me (I only have one bank account and my finances are about as simple as you can get), I spun up a docker container for it anyway out of curiosity. It allows you to categorise all your transactions and set up rules with simple name matches and even regex for more advanced matching. It took me a couple of hours to create all my rules but future transactions should now be categorised automatically. There’s also a tab where you can setup charts and graphs to see visually how much you’ve spent on certain categories in the last X days and so on.

It might be overkill for what you’re looking for, but you might find it useful or just nice to have for other reasons, and it certainly should cover your use case.

Matrix isn’t fediverse though. It is Federated but uses its own protocol

Exit = vacate… Vacation…

Californication?

• Covid
• Ebola
• 9/11 and the “war on terror”
• The cold war
• WW2
• WW1
• a whole host of other things before that

The world has felt like it’s ending to a lot of people for many generations, yet somehow it never does. I’m not denying that the world is in a pretty awful state right now, but we have to hope things will get better because otherwise they never will.

… My vacuum actually does run Linux.

!It’s a roborock with Valetudo installed so it doesn’t need internet access!<

The original switch also had an option with grey joy cons

The average person has a 1tb+ drive and doesn’t care about a few hundred megabytes of bloat in a partition they will never look at. If someone is switching from Windows, every app having its dependencies self contained is mostly normal anyway (aside from the occasional system provided dll). The only people likely to care about removing old flatpak platforms are the kind of people who don’t mind running the command to remove them.

Remember: If they can use ANPR to send you a large fine, they could just use it to charge you for the parking in the first place. The only reason they don’t is corporate greed.

For web, use Firefox (or a Firefox based browser, such as Zen) with uBlock Origin and sponsorblock extensions.

For Android, use YouTube ReVanced (has ad blocking and sponsorblock built in)

For Android TV/FireTV/Google TV use Smarttube (also has ad blocking and sponsorblock built in)

If you’re on iPhone/iPad/Apple TV you’re still out of luck as far as I’m aware.

We have redefined it. The thing about language is no one controls it. If enough people want to call 2000 the start of the new millennium, then that’s when it was. It’s all arbitrary numbers anyway.

I want you to imagine something for a moment. Don’t just read it, really visualise it.

In front of you stands a girl, she’s 14 years old. Her body and mind are broken as a result of months of rape and abuse at the hands of sex traffickers. With no other option, she gives birth in a filthy ally and is forced by her circumstances to do one of the most heartbreaking and dispicable acts imaginable - let her baby die.

Are you seriously saying you would look this child in the eye and tell her it was her fault? That she is the one to blame? That she should be punished for what she went through?

This is the level of desperation and suffering the people who are resorting to this are experiencing. This is the sick reality for people, probably closer to you than you realize.

So maybe think for while next time you want to start talking about who’s “morally obligated” to do things.

I would argue that keeping your own digital library on a home server is “better” (more convenient) than a bunch of discs that will also degrade over time.

BBC News’ reporting on Starship launches always says things like “Elon Musk’s Rocket” and it makes me want to write a strongly worded email of complaint

If you’re walking towards someone on the street and you want to avoid the whole “I’m going left you’re going right” dance - DO NOT make eye contact with them and glance toward the way you intend to go. They will automatically go the other way and you won’t bump into anyone ever again

Are you lot actually eating Christmas Dinner at lunch time? Do you start cooking at 6am? Are my family weird for not having it ready by 17:00 at the earliest?

Damn, I was really looking forward to trying this out but my primary use for Google Maps is navigating public tansport (mainly finding bus and train times as well as routes for longer journies) but it says the data isn’t available in my region yet :(

They’re astronauts, they’re loving this, they’ve said so in Interviews and it’s pretty obvious they’ve not just been told to say that. That’s not to mention that Starliner is a private spacecraft (just as much as Dragon is) and that’s the only thing being discredited here.

Does this spoofing change with every page you visit? If so that’s really neat!

Damn, guess we all have to stop calling it peanut butter then 🙄
