Taking the police and reporting organizations at their word that they are giving factual information about the who, what, when, where, and why is also a bias.
I'll take the imperialist extraterrestrials, they're probably gonna be easier to mobilize humans in opposition against than the terrestrial imperialists we have now.
Have you (rhetorical you) seen the ridiculously boring and shallow shit that people watch nearly 24/7 now, though? Video platforms are filled with useless nonsense and people eat it up.
There are people who will have a show playing in the background every hour of the day, showing the "news" or soap operas or reality shows or game shows or movie reruns or etc etc, just soaking it up subconsciously forever until they die.
Go to any doctors office or bar or restaurant (in the US, anyway, maybe it's different elsewhere) and there's a high chance they'll also be playing some nonsense drivel on a dozen TVs strategically positioned so you can't sit anywhere in the place without being subjected to a view of one.
Society loves giving attention to the most inane shit available, even if just for background noise.
The idea of there being an audience for the early years of the Truman Show doesn't seem at all like an unfathomable stretch to me.
I've been thinking about this often lately as well. These fucking corporations with multiple billions at their disposal, and all they can produce is shit like Windows or macOS? AND it also costs money to use? AND it has ads in it?
Meanwhile a bunch of nerds working for free on a passion project are giving away software that is faster and easier to use and often more beautiful to look at.
I guess I've simply reiterated what the post image said, so ignore me maybe, but fuck this is depressing and disappointing. All these corporate resources and all they can do is barely achieve what other people do for free in their spare time? What a fucking waste of human life and energy is capitalism.
I think I'd just bring extra food the next day so both I and they can eat. Clearly someone isn't able to bring their own food for whatever reason, and I can't really blame them for choosing to eat when the alternative is starving, even if it is annoying that I missed my lunch that day.
So glad to hear that you are supportive of people's autonomy to make decisions, that's an important value to have. Since you support them making a decision to take action that could result in beginning a pregnancy, you'll also support that autonomy when they make another decision later to end a pregnancy. Isn't it great when we have ethical consistency in our views? Congratulations!
What a uselessly privileged comment. You can't possibly be making it in good faith, but on the off chance you really are that removed from reality:
Suggesting that a 97 year old person should "just move, bro" is ridiculous. It's a ridiculous suggestion for most people, regardless of age; most people are way too poor to hire a ride-share every day, or pick up and move their whole life at a whim.
Could you elaborate what you mean by "doesn't have Wayland"?
Krita works fine on Wayland (I just finished using it to scribble out a comic strip, in fact), but is there something specific you're finding that is broken?
Ah yeah that sounds really frustrating. I'm sure you've tried this already, but does Lineage have support for the one-handed mode gesture? I've had that come in handy (no pun intended) now and then.
I read somewhere that the Thunderbird team was working on fixes for the new drawer UI, here's hoping they take better accessibility in mind!
I'm not having any issues using it with one hand so far. Not even sure what is very different about the UI beyond a different icon set and the account switcher being fewer taps to get to. I'm curious what about the new app makes it hard for you? Maybe there's something highly annoying that I haven't run across yet.
That's a pretty vague question; what kind of NSFW "stuff" are you looking to post?
However, if you're talking about art, then Slushe is a fairly nice NSFW art site (though it may be abandoned by it's creators, last blog activity was over a year ago) that varied artists post plenty of stuff regularly.
Why does public infrastructure need to be commercially viable? There's plenty of good reasons for people to need to travel aside from engaging in commerce.
The justification should go the other way round; infrastructure is for public use, and commercial entities ought to be taxed extra for utilizing public resources.
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be anything better than Calibre at the moment. (Though, I'm happy to be proven wrong!) Nothing against Calibre, it's functionally amazing free software and it works very well; I said "unfortunately" because the interface is extremely dated and clunky and confusing to operate. Once you get it working, it's very nice though. As long as you never have to go fiddling with it again, because every time you've gotta reacquaint with it's weird UI. Still, it really is the best available at the moment, and it's free so that's awesome.
My favorite way to set it up is using the linuxserver image, which has a web-based VNC built into it, so you can remotely run the app on a headless server and then use your browser to interact with it.
I have Calibre configured to monitor a folder for new stuff I throw into it, where it'll automatically fetch metadata and put it into the database. Calibre also has an OPDS server built in, to which I point a nicer frontend for reading comics. Currently that is Kavita which provides a decent web UI for both books and comics.
Anyhow, I believe you could enter data about your physical comics into the Calibre database, and then view the metadata with something like Kavita, though of course you'd be skipping the reading features.
Going from $89k to "give it away" is not exaggeration, it's whiny pissboy bullshittery.
