Kill (or help kill) people who are on average more poor and brown than we are.

Yes. It’s short for “hear him”, and also i guess gets rid of the pointless gendering of that phrase.

I’m surprised to see such a well rounded, logical view here. Kinda feels rare on this platform these days.

I’d love to see the rest of the list.

Who’s going to do the regulating?

Sure, a liberal could impose sane regulation, but what happens next time the US elects a Trump?

You want Trump (or any other fascist wannabe dictator) to have the ability to control what people say on the Internet? He’s already calling to take down ABC for fact checking him!

So just like gun control (as in an all-out ban), regulation of free speech/communication is just so risky.

I do think platforms should be doing more to remove disinformation from the mainstream, no matter who it pisses off. Unfortunately that does end up leading to echo chambers when what Americans need is to hear (truth) from all points of view.

Very complex situation that AI is only making worse.

Bret, you got it going on.

“The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism” is a hell of read, as well as “The Navidson Record”.

But “The Necronomicon” is my favorite fictional book, I think.

Only reserve IPs that are outside of the DHCP range you’ve configured.

I buy multiplayer games on steam since that’s where my friends are. I pirate almost everything else unless I want to support the developer (typically small indie games or high quality stuff like FromSoft). If I buy a game, I do prefer GOG but steam can be convenient, especially on Linux.

I’m honestly fine just being a brain in a jar. Give me access to books and film and video games and I don’t think I need a body. Is there a name for what’s wrong with me?

If you’re doing it right, containers are less like VMs and more like cgroups. If orchestrated correctly it uses less system resources to run lots of services on a single system/node.

That said, I’m a devops/infrastructure/network professional and not a developer, so maybe I’m missing something from the dev experience… But I love containers.

Docker does kinda suck now, though. Use podman or another interface instead if you can help it.

Airsonic Advanced and DSUB on Android are pretty good options since DSUB has advanced local caching options.

I aquire my music then run it through Picard for tagging which places it into my NAS where it is mounted to airsonic and jellyfin containers for consumption.

The jellyfin apps have gotten a lot better and I find myself using feishin and finamp more often lately.

Nah, it’s Zelda. That creepy bitch haunted me for years.

“raaaaaaaachellllllll…”

Fuck that.

I have one word for you, OP: Racism.

The marijuana tax stamp law was put in place because American politicians and voters didn’t like black and Mexican people. At the time, it was primarily used by those demographics. Now, of course, it’s used pretty equally by everyone.

This is only possible if you get your phone from the carrier, right? They wouldn’t be able to differentiate if you were using an unlocked phone you got from Google or Amazon?

My theory is that the fuckwad was involved in CSAM in some big way because his brother was arrested for it right around the same time as the shooting.

My guess is that the FBI has some reason not to tie them together yet.

Turns out the dude was likely involved with CSAM, as his brother was arrested for it almost immediately after the shooting.

From what I’ve seen, his brother was one of the only people still in touch with him during his last days.

It’s because of what you said: no motive. Crime like this is only sensational when the motive can be applied to some fictional stereotype of villain that could be stopped by new legislation or a war or whatever.

Also I think a big reason we don’t discuss this specific event is the caliber of rifle used. Contrary to popular belief, non “assault” weapons can do a shocking amount of damage in an environment where the targets can’t retaliate. See the Virginia Tech shooting.

Long story short: if it ain’t political and can’t be made political, people in the US won’t care for long.

Microsoft Windows. I used to be a sysadmin. New job is 100% Linux. Now I never touch Windows unless it’s to play a game.

Lenovo X1 carbon is what you are looking for. I got one (10th Gen) and slapped fedora on it and it’s been absolutely awesome.

Battery life could be better, but I haven’t tweaked it.

Good luck finding a quality new laptop with Linux support that also has a rj45 port. Framework might be an option though. But I just use a gigabit Ethernet usb3 adapter and it works fine
