I use duckduckgo.

I want "duck it" to become a thing.

Isn't that just OpenGL/Vulcan and Linux?

I agree with pretty much everything you've said. I've just seen "it's a high percentage" to be a dogwhistle for "all sex work is inherently exploitation so we should ban it.", so apologies for assuming.

5-10% is far too high, yes. I don't know if I'd agree with that figure (it really depends on what you consider sex work, tbh), but exploitation is a serious problem that needs fixing.

I mean, is it a high percentage? Feels like the kind of thing that you could fudge figures either way.

And yeah, we need to empower sex workers and give them legal and health support.

There are two main "career paths" here:

• Those that willingly choose sex work.
• Those that are pressured into sex work.

Imo, the former is perfectly fine (because everyone involved is consenting). The latter is problematic and the actual problem we need to solve.

So many people conflate the two and assume that all sex work is exploitation. All mixed in with the implicit sexism that says women shouldn't have any autonomy over their own body and sexuality.

Dvorak, but the one that uses UK punctuation.

It doesn't exist on Windows. Did you know that making custom keyboard layouts on windows is a pain?

Exploitation of vulnerable people is a thing, but it isn't universal. And people in relationships with people who are vulnerable aren't automatically exploiting them. No need to rob people of sexual autonomy just because they failed an IQ test.

Although, tbh, someone explicitly claiming they have a fetish for depressed people should set off some red flags...

I've been basically using btrfs on a lot of my disks because of the features it has.

Before I switched to a borg based system, my backups partition used btrfs for compression.

My main OS disk is btrfs so I can use timeshift snapshots, which are really worth checking out if you tinker with your system a lot.

I have two more btrfs partitions software raid0'd together for my steam library, nix store and other big but loosable things.

And my main home folder uses btrfs because I think the checksumming thing it does is more reliable for error detection, and cow is more fault tollerant on power failure?

... And I now fell like I'm one of those people with an over engineered storage solution. I just never get rid of old ssds or hard disks!

What elo is this targeting? Some of these are probably going to be less useful at lower skill levels.

Just out of interest, what is the context for asking this? Mental health and neurodivergence is a prickly topic and if you're asking this, I worry where you're getting your information from.

If we're being pedantic, aren't cat bites actually super dangerous because of infections and bacteria?

Even though I'm scared of heights, being able to fly sounds fun. So maybe a bat or something?

Or maybe just a wolf so I can live out elaborate werewolf fantasies.

I don't wanna wait that long. ;_;

Depends. Are you single? Do you want to be?

I don't use gamepass, but I will say that the N Sane Trilogy is really good and well worth a go if it looks interesting to you.

What do you consider "politics"? Trying to reject people's way of life and reduce their agency under the guise of "politics" is a common dogwhistle.

Finaly! A way to play GBA fighting games with less input latency!

(Interestingly, I imagine this would have more latency, since I imagine things are being copied to a framebuffer before being drawn on the crt?)

Feeling spikes of being overwhelmed, anxious about the future, feeling bad about ideological clashes with a friend and trying to shake off the bad bedrot habit I've picked up. So just the normal.

Still, over the last few months I've pushed myself to do things I've not done before. So that's good.

... Also, my work has announced massive cuts, but not how it's going to affect us. I should probably worry about that. :D

Fix Consumer Electronics

We know consumer electronics can be better for you and for the environment. Unlike most products, ours are open for you to repair and upgrade.

That's the "cause" that people believe in. And the volunteers that they are looking for are those that think Framework are the way to accomplish it. Realistically, that problem can't be solved by a non-profit - Materials, logistics and R&D can't be done by volunteers. So a corporation is the only reasonable choice for the goal they want to accomplish.

I'm sure they would love to be able to pay all the people that will volunteer, but they likely just don't have the money. So it's either give volunteers something for helping out, or just do nothing and ignore them.

Despite how you feel and what experts and friends tell you, you might be seriously struggling with mental health. One stiff breeze and the stack of cards comes tumbling down.
