It was a spelling goof, it’s all good. Still reading you loud and clear.

That is brilliant. Thank you. I am stealing this.
I wish I was better at coding. But maybe I can give it a shot, try and figure out how good accessibility tools work and make some kind of effort at copying it.
Don’t mind me, being a casual user since 2014 taking down notes as I’m reading the debates in the comments.
But I finally found out why Steam kept crashing. Snap broke it. I forced it to run as a flatpak, and now it works exactly as intended. Literally what made me finally switch from Ubuntu to Mint.
Didn’t expect to see a legend just scrolling here. Thank you for your contributions to computer science.
Yeah, I jumped ship right around the time Win8 came out. 14.04 was an interesting time to start learning. I was obsessed with trimming out bloat, so I used a tool to uninstall orphaned packages. Problem was, it also deleted some dependencies for GNOME.
I had, to quote the most helpful and humorous person in an Ubuntu forum post, “borked it so bad it had to be nuked from orbit.”
I have since learned my lesson and learned to be a little bit more careful with the magical responsibilities of sudo.
<I think I still have an old book that cautioned if you configured your refresh rates and monitor settings incorrectly your monitor could catch on fire.> Are you telling me that one dev for X.org could set someone’s monitor on fire by fucking with four lines of code?
Jesus Christ, thanks for that, I didn’t need to sleep tonight.
Was a mental health tech at a psych hospital. Ditto this, when it’s the nurse’s word against yours and the Ombudsman is already overworked and overwhelmed, you’re cooked.
I tried to go to bat for my patients so often, but once the nurses and the aides burn out, they stop doing the job because they care and start doing the job because it’s a job. I had nurses who told me to overchart patients so their insurance would pay more and they’d stay longer. Shady, shady shit.
Red Flag laws are used to remove guns from Trans, Latino, and Black people in red states too. It’s not the solution to gun violence that people think it is. It was a good idea, but it ends up falling to paradox of the false positive and even being weaponized against minorities more often than not. It violates due process as well.
More comprehensive care for people with severe mental health issues and arresting and jailing domestic violence offenders their first time is more effective. Unfortunately, we just defunded public mental health, so…
I wish. It would mean that this genocidal freak would feel his sins crawling on his back.
Low-key, the fact that that skit is no longer funny and is nothing but straight facts is absolutely paralyzing.
Monty Python’s Flying Circus was terrifyingly, utterly lucid. That was the straightest skit they ever wrote.
It’s funny because it is, in fact, completely true.
My ancestors beheaded kings. One of the only good things they ever fucking did, imho.
Do you know where the entire idea of left-vs-right even came from?
After the French Revolution, after the people stormed the Bastille and overthrew the monarchy, they were still working out the concept of a government without a king. The National Assembly was split pretty much down the middle; the people who sat with their friends and coconspirators found that muttering ideas to each other was easier when the other side of the room couldn’t hear them. Like any high school lunch room, people found their own assigned spots with their friends.
The Monarchists ended up on the right side of the room, and the Republicans ended up on the left.
My brother in Christ, the GOP was ALWAYS about dragging us back into the dark ages. It’s what Conservatives have wanted for as long as Conservativism has existed as a political orientation. France and the UK still have monarchist hangers-on in the far-right wings of their politics.
You wonderful human being, thank you.
Human beings deserve to live. It’s not our call to make whether we just save good people, just that we try to save people. Anything less isn’t enough.
We can’t play God.
Yeah, in Kansas City. From what I’ve been able to track down, Patient Zero came back from a recent trip to the Federated States of Micronesia. Current infected rate reported hit 66 people, but that might be higher.
If you’re in the Midwest, brush up on symptoms to look for, and stay away from Nursing Homes and elementary schools if you’re vulnerable.
