It depends on what you interpret kneeling to mean. In the US, kneeling for the flag or kneeling for the national anthem is a form of protest when tradition dictates that you should stand with your hand over your heart. In recent years, the act has made news due to NFL players (starting with Colin Kaepernick) kneeling in protest of police brutality and racial inequality in the US. It is not an act of reverence as if you were kneeling before a ruler or deity.

Kneeling for the US flag and supporting communism/socialism and LGBTQ rights are all very leftist concepts.

How so?

You're assuming we don't programming ifttt to stop our hearts on exit, which subsequently triggers the erase history task.

You might start googling things like "OSINT handbook" or "OPSEC guide" and see what people put together to protect yourself from data-mining, fingerprinting, and various other ways to protect your personal information.

Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) is the practice of using freely-available resources to collect information on something/somebody. Learning about the tools used to perform OSINT searches is a good first step to determine which databases you may want to scrub yourself from.

Operations Security (OPSEC) is a military term that involves the security and protection of any data -- classified or unclassified -- that could potentially be used against you. OPSEC sounds exactly what you're looking for, but I mention both terms because looking at potential attacks from both a red team (attacker) and blue team (defender) is a good practice to make sure you're not missing any vulnerabilities (in other words, even if your only goal is defense, it is beneficial to think like an attacker and visualize how you would attack yourself).

One such result of a search shows John Troony's Opsec for the Paranoid gist.

Some example of people-finder sites like LexisNexus from his document would be:

But the nearby sections in that document may be of use to you, like "Opt out of Data Mining".

OSINT/OPSEC is a giant rabbit hole you can go down, and you can get as paranoid as you want -- scrubbing social media sites or poisoning the well of sites that collect data indiscriminately and don't let you remove it, all the way to the ultra-paranoid burner phones and entire false identities (as long as you hopefully stay within the bounds of what is legal in your country or at least keep your laws in mind when you do step outside of the law). If you are interested in stuff like that, you might start looking at things like The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Online Anonymity.

They are from an illustration of how big wikipedia would be if it were printed in books like volumes of a typical encyclopedia. Unfortunately, it is misrepresented here, because they only show the equivalent of 4 bookshelves in this meme, when the original illustration was 17 shelves (about 4x what is pictured here). So basically, wikipedia would comfortably line the walls of an average-sized study. Source: WIKIPEDIA - Size in Volumes

Interestingly, the link I just shared would fall under the category "Lording it over Britannica" in OP's meme.

The POSIX standard is more portable. If you are writing scripts for your system, you can use the full features in the main man pages. If you are writing code that you want to run on other Linux systems, maybe with reduced feature sets like a tiny embedded computer or alternates to gnu tools like alpine linux, or even other unixes like the BSDs, you will have a better time if you limit yourself to POSIX-compatible features and options -- any POSIX-compatible Unix-like implementation should be able to run POSIX-compliant code.

This is also why many shell scripts will call #!/bin/sh instead of #!/bin/bash -- sh is more likely to be available on tinier systems than bash.

If you are just writing scripts and commands for your own purposes, or you know they will only be used on full-feature distributions, it's often simpler and more comfortable to use all of the advanced features available on your system.

I just moved to Thunder and it seems pretty cool, but a different layout from what I'm used to with Voyager. I might give Eternity a try, too, but this one looks good.

UPDATE: Raccoon it is. I gave Thunder a try, but figured I'd also try Raccoon and Eternity. Raccoon just feels right.

Um these are not spammy in my opinion, these are beautiful and welcome. Did you create these manually or did you use the app in OP's image or something else?

Naah. I don't use stars, but I use an equivalent on my rating blog, and I can absolutely do zero or even arbitrary fractional values, such as 0.5 or 22/7 or 4.997.

Ooh, I moved to hyprland a few months ago and fell in love, but sway will give me static layouts? My singular gripe with hyprland is I want to keep my RDP app fixed to a size and never resized for anything, because when that window resizes inadvertently, I have to MFA half a dozen connections. I mostly like the dynamic tiling, but I'd like to fix one window on one workspace and never have it resize.

This racist meme is as old as computers. Just replace "albanian" with whichever nationality you are trying to disparage.

Oh, yuck. Yeah, I have a Samsung phone, too, and can't figure out how to strip exif data from screenshots. You might be stuck with a third-party exif-stripper app.

What phone, what camera app, what Android version (and be specific if the manufacturer or service provider added their own customizations, as is common with Samsung and most major service providers).

When did you even answer a single question, my friend? I don't think you are communicating honestly.

ChatGPT has no burden to respect HIPAA in that scenario. The medical provider inputting your PHI into a cloud-based LLM is violating your HIPAA rights in that case.

And you think this law is effective at doing that?

Aphex Twin - Come To Daddy. I felt even the directors cut was a bit rushed and left several unresolved themes.

What patient data?

Heh, RPG memes
