This is a great point. I have another account on a smaller instance, and there I frequently just read everything in the local feed.

It is just dicey, because income can be related to racial factors. Poor areas in many cities are often overwhelmingly non-white. It's something HR doesn't want to touch with a ten-foot pole.

I've done a bit of hiring and this won't pass the legal bar (even asking what town someone lives in can be evidence of intentionally trying to find out if the candidate is of "the right stock"), but I also rather like envisioning a comedy scene of someone trying to use toilets as a sneaky determinant 😆 Very Monty Python.

I'll have you know it was a utility sink so it doesn't count!! 🙃

"Oh, beans" is a good one for replacing the "I screwed up" meaning of"damn it".

I like that phrase! Sometimes a flower grows out of manure 😆

Why should I change my name? They're the ones who suck 😆

There was a y.

TuxCart is pretty good!

Cards With Cats is a solid Hearts game.

PySolFC is a slightly clunky but workable solitaire.

I love Lexica, a word game similar to Boggle.

Finally, CrossWords is a good scrabble clone, though I've had issues with network multiplayer buggering itself. Good for local play still.

Man, that sucks. I hope you get a solution soon.

I think for some folks there's something primal going on, a feeling of being trapped when things are over their faces that they can't shake. It seems like something deep-seated and unconscious, really hard to get past. I get that way if I can't freely move my arms and legs while sleeping, but the face has never been so bad.

I wish I knew some advice I could give that would help people struggling but whenever food, sex, or sleep is involved, we're still weird fleshy worm tubes twitching our way through a hostile world.

The scene where they're all buried and poisoned while the den is torn apart and the rabbits are trapped, desperately trying to push nose-first past all the bodies clogging the dead-end passages.. I had a lot of bad dreams from that one!

Seconded! I found out in my late twenties that I was waking up every three minutes, all night long. I used to sleep 10-18 hours a day if I could get the time, and was still exhausted.

I won't even nap without my breathing machine now; the difference is shocking.

The squirrel suit will save me!! :D

I would like to try hang gliding but also don't want to admit this is likely a terrible idea!

@pipe@lemmy.world, would you be interested?

Sure, I'd join up!

I'll admit I haven't tried any OSes outside a VM in a while, the last was Haiku a while ago. But I am always keeping tabs!

Here's a few! While I mostly use the RSS feeds from these sites, I often read the web versions too:

• Hack a Day, wonderful place to get clued into ground-up explorations of technical topics from the outside
• BBC News, good for a world perspective that's not fully US-centric but still in English
• OSNews, Operating System news for nerds like me who get legitimately excited for things like installing plan9 on bare metal
• Ken Shirrif's Blog, the paragon of long-form teardown & explanation of vintage electronics, deeply insightful, terrifyingly technical but still approachable. Okay, not a daily update, but worth the wait
• Create Digital Music, solid and considered electronic music instrument news and articles, for us unreformed synthesizer geeks

I like that the owner is an artist herself, they aren't VC backed, and they don't allow AI generated art. The verification process for accounts is interesting. I'll be interested to see where it goes from here.

Totally!
