It's an odd story at first read, including this bit:

Her father, Sky Roberts, commented on the post and said: “Virginia my daughter, I love you and am] praying for you to get the correct treatment to live a long and healthy life.”

I pulled down Librewolf this morning. The only issue so far is having to tweak a setting to get the Proton VPN Firefox extension working.

Aaron Swartz was the tech geek That jackass sp*z is the tech bro.

:(

The board will pay over $15,000 to resolve the suit. That includes $14,845 in attorneys’ fees and costs to FFRF and cooperating counsel. The board will also pay one dollar for nominal damages to The Satanic Temple and $196.71 for various fees previously paid by the Temple in connection with rental reservations that had not yet been refunded.

Further, the Shelby County Board of Education has agreed not to discriminate against the organization with regard to its requests to rent and use school board property at Chimneyrock Elementary School; the Temple will be subject to the same rules and requirements as other nonprofit organizations seeking to rent or use the school’s facilities. In addition, the school board’s administration has promised not to hold any press conference with regard to the Temple’s lawful rental or use of school property.

I'd be A-OK with more Oglaf -- thanks for posting this!

Folks should be aware that it can run NSFW at times.

That's because the US enacted a law called the Wolf Amendment in 2011, which prevents NASA from using government funds to cooperate directly with China.

Wolf Amendment

What's with 7942 being lit up like the North Star?

Only thing I can think of is that The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was published in 1979.

Automating anything blindly carries the risk of unending buckets of water or a universe of paperclips.

Nutty -- I was just chewing on that similarity myself.

The CAD program with one level of Undo, an unreliable Revert option, and active hostility toward incremental saves.

I don't know the first thing about CAD, but lmao.

Respectfully, Defector is about the furthest thing from a spam blog that you'll find on the internet, my dude/lady.

It was formed a few years back by writers fleeing the sinking ship that was Deadspin.

I'd encourage you to check out some of their other articles and judge for yourself.

Yes.

Hi there! I'm you. My first computer was a TRS-80 in the early 80s, and my daily driver today is Debian (a flavor of Linux). I'm not an IT person, but I've had some skin in the game for a while.

You won't need to purchase a thing unless you have some weird/old hardware where drivers will be a challenge.

There are a million flavors ("distros") of Linux. The most straightforward ones to start with are probably Ubuntu and Mint.

Most Linux distros have a "live CD" version that you can "install" on a thumb drive. That allows you to take the entire OS for a test spin without changing anything on your "main" computer.

I've been beating this drum for years, but Autoduel as a MMORPG.

d'oh, thanks op.

Nay.

My beliefs aren"t so fragile that they're threatened by opposing viewpoints, even those that may not be put forth in good faith.

And I can simply block (the relatively small (?) proportion of) users that don't engage in good faith.

The legend of scarabic lives on.

Great growth so far. How does this compare to Reddit?

In 2020 their year-over-year growth was around 50%, or roughly 4% per month. (source)

Serious question, what are we looking at and/or being mildly infuriated about here?
