Yes! We should feel bad! Unfortunately, there are people who think what that asshat does is awesome. My mother, who I won’t speak to because two of the ladies in her sons’ lives are now at risk. Fuck these people. They are selfish and frightened and they externalize their fear.

Send it to the admin(s) of the instance. I’m sure they don’t want to host that bullshit.

Struggle to paste the path to a file. Seriously.

Nope. He had the ability to control her. Nobody can stop our crimes. It’s bad.

Don’t tap Jia Tan…

I’m so happy that, after I decided that I was gonna close Lemmy after reading the posts on the current page, this was the last one. What a great way to wrap up and go about my day after horrible current events and such.

This is the sort of discrimination I can support. Call the husband when you want some tea.

This was excellent and I appreciate you.

Honestly, I’d find it pretty awesome if someone I was dating knew half the things I’ve learned about from Wikipedia that are interesting yet have no practical effect on my day to day. Maybe the most applicable thing I’ve learned about there is the Dunning Kruger effect, though this helps me understand certain types of people and opinions more than it helps me do anything about it. Most of it is as useful as the ship: fun to find out about and then just trivia the makes me like a Lemmy post.

That thing stopped existing eighty years ago.

Oh shit, did he just make me respect him more than I already did?

Absolute bullshit.

I literally have to apologize for being white every singe day. At work? Apology. At the store? Apology. With my spouse? Apology.

It’s like a white man in America can’t get a fair shake in America as a white man! /s

Btw, some people are really stupid.

To see a video of this terrible lady (one of the very first Karens on the internet), search “barbecuing while Black.”

This is possibly the best analogy I’ve ever seen.

I take deliberate breaks from stuff like Lemmy and the news. I only came back here after a multi-month break this month. It works.

I spend a lot of time in /tmp sending temporary output to files and testing commands when building shell scripts. It’s appropriate that a long-haired fluffer butt lives there because that’s been most of my cats through the years.

Sounds like you have people you can call? If so, ask someone to go do something physical together where conversation doesn’t have to be center-stage, like hiking. If you live in a place where there’s good hiking spots with challenging terrain, such as steep hills (hopefully accompanied by beautiful views), you might be too out of breath for the absence of conversation to be unnatural.

Good thinking. High risk. Impressed that you thought ahead to avoid the risk. I like the home entertainment suggestion, but you could also use the extra cycles to run containers or VMs in the background. I know you said you already have a server, so I’m trying to think what else would provide utility. Nice find, hope you come up with some fun projects.

I run Movary on my NAS in a docker container so that my partner has a place to add to our watch-list.

I also run a personal kbase that I built on top of Docbase and Markdown files.

And I recently started using HTTP2Shell to throw commands at a local networked device. This is useful to me personally, maybe not for others, because I’ve written my own automations.

I recently considered adding Home Assistant, but it doesn’t look like it’s gonna happen because we have lamps that don’t remain in an “on” state when unplugged; any devices I might buy to add wifi to them wouldn’t actually turn them on remotely as a result. Shame cause there’s one that’s pretty necessary at night that’s between a wall and a sofa that’s pushed back against it because that’s just the layout of the room. I don’t mind manually controlling the others, but that was the one that would have been nice to trigger from my phone. Our thermostat and robot vacuum would have been on the same system, but they already have dedicated apps anyway.

You’re only limited by your imagination and curiosity (and wallet).
