Outsourcing is extracting wealth from another nation. How can you possibly compare that to lifting ones own citizens out of poverty?

Someone remind me, what’s the first chapter in On Tyranny?

Shoot, I was supposed do mine on the first. Thanks for reminding me.

I was disappointed in the graphics, but my stats seemed right. The slide for my top podcasts had black text on a black background, but luckily all my top 5 podcasts have their name on their logo. Still looks kinda stupid though.

You’re not really expected to repeatedly remove the HDMI port itself from the laptop

All the people saying buy a dongle are forgetting to mention that dongles stop working all the fucking time. It’s yet another potential point of failure that stops ALL work dead in its tracks if it happens.

Not arguing, just curious: what makes chroot insecure? I’ve used it for installing Gentoo, but I don’t really understand what it’s doing under the hood.

Yeah, I just installed Debian in Termux last night. I’ve got a Samsung phone with a locked down bootloader, so it’s the best I can do.

I’m partial to Debian + LXDE, but it has an install option for KDE Plasma as well.

My wife was a Christian when we started dating, but her opinions on LGBTQ+ issues made her start questioning her faith which led her to leave the faith altogether by the time we were married.

For whole blood, I’ve only ever been given a t-shirt. For plasma alone though, it was purely dependent on your weight and, therefore, how much they can take from you in the one session. I’m a tiny dude who barely weighed enough to qualify and got about $80 a couple years ago. It’s honestly not worth it at all, but if you’re broke it’s easier than many other options. The place was full of the “undesirables” of society because of that. It drained me emotionally, seeing how blatantly exploitative it is.

Edit to add: these plasma donations can be done with a tighter window between them too, so the people who were always short on cash were in there every 2 weeks.

Edit again: I forgot that that was an introductory deal where they give you an extra $40, so it was actually $40 for me. Overweight patients could get around $70-$80.

The power dynamic is ever present. Can a person detained by a law enforcement officer consent to sex with that officer?

Why would you remind me of this traumatic experience???

They’ve been over-promising on this product for more than ten years now. I remember watching promotional videos no later than 2013 for this exact product under the same Humane name. It’s honestly kind of impressive that they kept their over-promising in lock-step with the progression of technology.

Voyager has a setting to show a baby emoji next to the name of a user if their account is less than a month old and an account age. Probably one of the best features I’ve ever seen for immediately recognizing troll accounts.

Magnets are obviously magical items imbued by God with their magical properties at the time of creation exactly 2044 years ago.

Thankfully only one near me does this and I’ve never gone back once I saw they had these installed. This is really the only way we’re ever going to see these practices phased out. Corporations don’t take anything seriously until it affects the bottom line. Just look at climate change.

[Edited by the commenter to remove incorrect information, see below.] I’m not sure if anything else has come up since then though, and I’ve continued using DDG, just not for any sort of news or information on current events. I mainly use a search engine for dev stuff anyways.

Makes sense to me, just sounds like the crypto company is holding the state’s power grid hostage
