I installed and then ran Gentoo for about 9 months back when it first came out, before Robbins stepped down. I remember the install was pretty involved, but after that it was a pretty sweet system. I keep saying I'm going to go back to it, but just can't be bothered anymore. As good as it was 20 years ago, I'm sure it's even better now.

The dishonesty in the reporting is so much worse than the bias. And the bias is awful.

I thought the ICE agent's name was going to be Rittenhouse.

Yeah, what the hell was that? Don't let the magat fuckheads redefine words anymore than they already have. There is not, nor should there ever be, a stain on being anti-fascist.

Wait...what? I don't even want to do a quick search to see if that's true. I suppose if true, it can't really be surprising.

I, too, don't know that fern video or what fern is. That said, yeah, I think anyone informed at all realize Murdoch is in the pantheon of comically evil real people who have lived. For those that don't know, now you know.

I saw coverage on several of the networks and PBS. I swear, I start to fall into conspiracy theory thinking when I watch news these days. All the coverage was NYC, Atlanta, Seattle, etc.. Blue cities that have been demonized by the press and magats for years, despite reality. I think it would have been way more helpful to see coverage of protests like where you are. I went to my local one, there were a few thousand people, but honestly, that was expected.

I once asked a question on here about forces involved in a gravity assist and had someone reply that it's only something in movies, it doesn't really exist.

I don't have a Tesla, because fuck fascism, but I have to agree. My EV is charged at home 99.9% of the time. It holds enough to get me through the day and back home. After I'm home, I really could not care how long it takes to charge, as long as it's enough for the next day. And it always has been. Maybe if I was part of an outlier user, driving for a living or something, the charge speed would matter.

Benioff’s pro-Fuckhead remarks also suggested a sharp turn from his previous support of liberal policies. During Fuckhead’s first administration, he was outspoken about wealth inequality, backing a 2018 local ballot measure to tax large corporations in San Francisco to increase funding for homeless services. He called out other billionaires for “hoarding” their wealth in a Guardian interview at the time and criticized opponents of the measure, saying: “You’re either for the homeless or you’re for yourself.”

The CEO mostly lives in Hawaii now, according to the New York Times.

Something about that entire section made me laugh.

10 years ago, I might have argued for 10 year to get to that point. Now? I'm with you. Two decades minimum.

Buddy of mine sent me what he describes as a disturbing video from his hometown. It's a threads link. I generally use yt-dlp or just straight mpv from the CLI and most things work. I can't see this, on my computer, or my crap phone. Does anyone know a trick or something for accessing this content. No I won't make a threads account. Here's the link, for what it's worth:

My mom has this plant in her coastal Southern California yard. She cuts it back to just about nothing every year and it grows back super healthy looking.

Here's a picture of its leaves and flower.

 

Six years old, but more pertinent than ever. I don't think the ghouls at Davos liked the message.

 

I can't seem to figure this out. I've been trying out different news aggregator sites to use as a home page. Right now I'm using skimfeed. I like it, but the links all have skimfeed baggage tacked on. Like this: https://skimfeed.com/r.php?q=1148&l=15649995&u=https%3A%2F%2Fxkcd.com%2F3006%2F

Well, the source looks like this:

<span class='boxtitles'><h2><a class='siteurls ts33' href='/news/xkcd.html'>XKCD</a> <a class='siteurls atat' href='http://xkcd.com' rel='nofollow' target='_blank'>+</a></h2></span>

<ul><li class='nl1 bd33'><a href='r.php?q=1148&l=15649995&u=https%3A%2F%2Fxkcd.com%2F3006%2F' target='_blank' rel='nofollow' title='Demons'>Demons</a> </li><li class='nl2 bd75'><a href='r.php?q=1148&l=15642742&u=https%3A%2F%2Fxkcd.com%2F3005%2F' target='_blank' rel='nofollow' </li></ul></div>

Which, to be honest, is Greek to me. I'd like to rewrite the links so that they just look like https://xkcd.com/3006/ I don't really care what the link looks like, per se, the encoded bits. I just don't like the extra skimfeed stuff. Aesthetically.

Is there an extension or something that will help me with this? The couple I've looked at are either too complicated for my caveman brain, or site specific (i.e., remove google tracking). If I'm just being a little too retentive, feel free to let me know that too.

 

Report about the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post —

  • 26 Articles in the week following Smith's indictment of Trump for his attempted coup

  • 100 Articles — nearly 4 times as many — that mentioned Clinton’s server in the week after then-FBI Director James Comey’s notorious October 28, 2016, letter on new developments in that probe--

The US media has learned nothing and is doing a disservice to American voters.

 

The only one I've found is this one, but it doesn't work. It only triggers if I open the keyword interface and save it after every page load. I don't know enough to fix it.

Any advice for a regular smart 27 year old youngster, who has chronically underachieved and is motivated to turn their life around. They have a couple years of JC completed, and has no idea what path to take, or really what paths exist.

EDIT: OK, I see I gave slim pickins here. It's not me, it's my neighbor's kid. I've known his parents since before he was born. He's a super smart kid, but like a lot of smart kids, he got kind of jaded about...well, everything. I was visiting the other day and he asked me for advice, and my retired ass has nothing. Any relevant personal experience I may have, became dated years ago.

He's good at just about all subjects. His longest lifelong hobby has been video games. He took a few programming classes and liked it, but the thought of doing it full time as a career would quickly become torture.

He's kind of half-assed things and just realized he needs to get his shit straight. He was thinking something like finance, just numbers. Something solid that's just a career direction. He is going back to school, well most likely he is, but he needs an idea of what path to take. Most of his friends are unemployed/underemployed with computer degrees.

 

Nobody seems to be talking about the continuing genocide of Rohingya in Myanmar nor India's heartless and illegal current actions.

My ISP seems to be throttling my VPN connection. Just started a week or so ago. Anyone have any tips for correcting this shit?

Edit: Sorry, I didn't leave much info. I guess I was thinking in more general terms. I use PIA, have for years. I've tried to change protocols and ports, my VPN speed still sits around 10K. Just ridiculous. Speed test without VPN:

SOLVED!! OK, I'm an absolute idiot. The tl;dr I had accidentally toggled the Toggle Alt. Rate Limits setting. Thank you everyone for attempting to help that which couldn't be helped!

 

I read Kim's Mars trilogy years ago and liked it. I decided to pick up The Ministry of the Future a couple days ago. It's very different, and without any spoilers, I have to say it's made me hate humanity even more than I already did. If you haven't read it, it's a near-future climate disaster book. Well written, interesting structure, and just pissing me off. I'm about halfway through it, so maybe it'll swing the other way in the second half.
