Here's mine, and the exact opposite of another "unpopular" opinion here which is upvoted:

Guns.

First of all pandora's box has been opened in the US and can't be closed, there's 600,000,000+ in private hands with no registry to know where/who and trillions of rnds of ammo and everyone who has any of that intends on keeping it. "American gun owners" actually end up being a larger army than most countries militaries, you're just not going to be able to short of finding a way to Infinity rock (or whatever Avengers sucks) them out of existence.

Secondly, good. I'd rather people be able to defend themselves if need be than not, be that against forces foreign or domestic, or against the crackhead down the street with a knife. All the way from the improbable fighting our government, or red dawn style fighting a foreign power on our soil, to the more likely Black Panther style activity and defending against your average deadly threats, or even just hunting for food in the event of a small/large catastrophic event that affects supply chains (if you can't get food at the store because of a natural disaster or something, at least food is walking around, it's just more work). It should never be your first resort, but you shouldn't exclude it from being your last resort.

45° is a commonly used angle for printing guns stuff actually.

I expect it won’t be straightforward to view the data as well, it’s not just gonna be a folder full of jpegs.

Source?

Tbf, I (and I'm a random third guy not the guy to which you're replying, for clarity's sake), also doubt it'll be a folder of jpegs...but I think it'll be fairly trivial to exploit whatever it is, and it'll take way too much storage (storage cheap now, whatever, I know I'm old but I don't use cloud and I've got other shit to spend money on than HDDs or SSDs, which I do also need as a pirate/data hoarder and don't want to waste space on).

I don't understand what use case you can have by asking Microsoft what porn you were watching at 2 am of February 19th.

Well you see I have my browser set to delete history on exit because of security so this would override that and keep the history...that I...deleted... Wait...

Lmao idfk why people would possibly want this either.

My airpods and fingerprint reader (framework 16) work fine on Fedora, sometimes it just be like that.

It's a unix system, I know this!

Frameworks have all AMD options too, just a heads up. I have one and it runs great!

Running a framework 16 with FedoraKDE and before that a 4gb ram 2015 toshiba satellite (in 2024) running Fedora (regular Gnome) and haven't had one of these issues. Most issues I have had were caused by me, every now and again I run into a regular old bug in something and half the time that gets fixed pretty quick.

I wish I could help, but we just have opposite experiences unfortunately. That said, because of this I don't think it's "linux," or I'd likely have at least similar experiences.

OH for a while I did have a bug where VLC would stutter playing video and nobody had a fix, so I uninstalled/reinstalled VLC and it works now. Idk, I've had shit like that happen on windows too though, it's basically the software version of power cycling hardware when it acts up.

OH SHIT I just left a comment about how I miss this site and kitten cannon, but didn't check the site cause I was sure it was gone. Welp, looks like I know what I'm doing later!

I miss Kitten Cannon so much lmao, and Madness Interactive, and addictinggames . com (which iirc died so probably don't visit and yes the website was mispelled).

I still have my GBC with pokemon yellow and a flash cart with (almost, missing the new ones) every GB and GBC rom in existence on it that supports save states, and can emulate many switch games on the deck iirc if I were somehow nostalgic for those, and in fact can emulate basically any nintendo game from history I may be nostalgic for better than the switch, among other games nintendo didn't make.

Which one is the real nostalgia machine? (Hint: It's the Gameboy Color lol)

Yeah but if the steps are piracy, then fine.

And you're on c/linux memes talking about "distros" (short for linux distributions) as if they were lemmy servers. You won't be banned anywhere just because you install the distro ubuntu, none of it has anything to do with reddit, lemmy, mastodon, nor voyager. To put it quite simply, it does indeed seem that you are confusing linux distros with lemmy servers. Otherwise you're purposefully off topic I suppose, which, ok I guess.

Thank you! But naw I just love kitties and she needs it! She's such a sweet kitty.

Thank you from all three of us! You too!

Doc said she's too young, gotta come back in a few weeks for the rabies shot. Got the rest for now though, and clean bloodwork so just rabies quarantine for now (but I've technically kinda been observing her since well before I got her, so tbh I doubt she has it since the 10d is certainly up by now, but err on the side of caution and so forth.)

Not only that, but she loves being pet! Just forgets that I'm cool the second I leave the room lol. She finally sat still for a few min while I was standing though! She usually only likes me at ground level! She ran the second I opened the door to leave the room, but still! Such a good kitty, she takes a pet like no problem!

Me too! Tbh I used to have one from my other being spayed but I couldn't find it or she'd already have one on! The one I ordered won't be here for another day or so which honestly will give me time to observe it. She honestly may not need it, looks like she's kinda stopped licking it actually!

My other definitely knows she has company now, but I think she wants to be friends, we'll see after quarantine!

Honestly I'm surprised how much better it looks already just in ~72h from when I first saw it!

Just got back from the vet! No communicable diseases but still under rabies quarantine for a few days, got FelV and distemper vax, too young for rabies vax. Still gonna bring my tubby one in for updated shots, but mostly just for peace of mind since the new one's blood is good!

Vet didn't even give me a cone but I've purchased one, hope it fits! Honestly it almost seems like she hasn't been licking at it since she got here and is less stressed (even if she's still pretending to be mad, I can see through those crocodile hisses!) I'm worried she has minor tendon damage too because she flops around when I pet her, but she runs good and walks (quickly, away from me lol, but) good, and she can jump and climb and hang on my blinds, so maybe she just likes flopping for belly pets and snuggles lol.

Idk yet but I think she'll let me cone her, she only really fought the vet for the blood draw, but like I hate it too lol. She took the vaccine better than me though!

She's so cute! And such a sweet kitty, she's warming up to me real well!

Thank you! Glad to hear you think it doesn't look too bad, for SURE going to the vet ASAP, need them shots too, and want to hear what they want me to do about any possibility of rabies which is apparently 10-45 day observation in quarantine but it can not show for like a year, so, idfk!

Thank you! I just hope she'll be OK, she's such a sweet little kitty, even with the hisses lol. I'm glad there's good people like yourself out there, as well!
