YNAB is a life changer. If you buy into the way they orient budgeting, its amazing. I think their envelope style budgeting is the easiest way ive budgeted before, but i know its not for everyone.

Transgender activists flood Utah tip line with hoax reports to block bathroom law enforcement ( apnews.com )

Transgender activists have flooded a Utah tip line created to alert state officials to possible violations of a new bathroom law with thousands of hoax reports in an effort to shield trans residents and their allies from any legitimate complaints that could lead to an investigation. ...

I would say that spending the time and energy to resist a law to specifically discriminate against trans people does make you a trans activist, in the literal sense of doing activism foe trans people, whether you would call yourself that or not lol

There are extensions for this sort of thing... i have probably 40 or 50 tabs stored in groups, but i use a tab group extension to allow me to store tabs based on context, and switch between them easily. Ive got my normal tabs, my shopping tabs, tabs for learning stuff for blender, programming tabs, all grouped off so i normally only ever have 10ish tabs open at a time.

I found someones old internet shrine about them a few weeks ago, they really are crazy interesting. And definitely of the cosmic horror variety lol

Thanks! Im glad you like it! I like the low poly look, and am trying to figure out how to mix that minimal look but add enough detail to not look bland.

You nailed that its an artificer workshop too lol.

Yea this may be the case for some mormons, maybe, but they as a whole are not very tolerant at all. We had a mormon in our school who was very vocal about his dislike about a couple where one was trans. He pretended to be a nice guy, but his views were gross when they came bubbling to the surface.

I dont buy that mormons are a tolerant group for a second.

Agreed, i had more issues on Manjaro than i ever did on raw Arch. The Manjaro team, at least during the time i used it, didnt seem very good at keeping things working. So many issues with bad packages, keys expiring, stuff like that.

Arch was a blessing.

However, NixOS has ascended me to heaven lol.

I dont know what everyone is so upset about, the shotgun feels fine, the recoil doesnt feel bad, and the mag size isnt a huge problem for me.

Plus the flamethrower buff and laser cannon buff are super nice. Im usually in favor of the whole "buff everything else, no debuff" but this honestly feels fine.

Yea im pretty sure flatpak suports bundles that you can install directly, just like an appimage

Whoda thunk one word isnt enough to describe my feelings lol.

Good as in startups shoukd be allowed to be founded around stolen data.

BoneALisa ,
@BoneALisa@lemm.ee avatar

No lol, no one should. Me saying AI tech startups shouldnt be allowed to use stolen data means i endorse existing companies who have already stolen it.

But just because companies have already done it also doesnt mean we should be allowing new companies to also do the same thing.

BoneALisa ,
@BoneALisa@lemm.ee avatar

Lmao what? Please, explain to me how thinking neither new companies or existing companies should be allowed to be doing what their doing, is hypocritical.

I sure you arent being serious, but farday caging the rooms would likely be highly illegal, blocking emergency cell calls and other emergency signals (like radio and gps) is a big ol no no.

I've been using LingoDeer for the past few days since hearing this news, and so far it's not too bad. The social features are severely lacking compared to Duolingo (my friend group goes hard on the friends quests lol) but they have a lot more grammar explanation and whatnot available that duolingo doesn't. Plus, LingoDeer seems much less focused on learning for tourism, and more for actual learning.

Note this is all for the Japanese course, no idea how their other courses are.

What are you on about? If you are using the 3rd party repo, you are just as likely to get malware than if you download the deb directly from the wbsite. Its literally the same thing, just adding the repo means that the malware could get installed automatically and without you knowing where it came from.

BoneALisa ,
@BoneALisa@lemm.ee avatar

Not untrue, and I don’t think that the possibility should be glossed over, but honestly, what do you think is more likely: this specific person getting specifically MitM’ed by a bad actor, or a bad actor taking control of a repo that hundreds of people blindly trust. I have a sneaking suspicion that OP’s threat model isn’t sophisticated enough to need to really, truly, be worrying about that.

If OP is a journalist or refugee at risk of being targeted and killed, my advice is don’t use a VPN, use TOR lol.

Top AI expert 'completely terrified' of 2024 election, shaping up to be 'tsunami of misinformation' ( fortune.com )

Top AI expert ‘completely terrified’ of 2024 election, shaping up to be ‘tsunami of misinformation’::“I can’t prove that," says Oren Etzioni, professor emeritus at the University of Washington. “I hope to be proven wrong. But the ingredients are there.”

I believe this wholeheartedly. I work for an mcsp, and we have a client who runs a chain of “news” sites. They are buying a bunch of AI server equipment for their racks and we are almost 100% certain its to pump out garbage for the election.

IIRC it only suports plain text files / Markdown rn. Not supporting EPUB is a non-starter for me. I use my Kobo right now and love it. If they add EPUB support i will heavily consider building one.

ListenBrainz passes 25k users! ( feddit.nl )

Allow me to spread the word about ListenBrainz. ListenBrainz is a FOSS project that aims to crowdsource listening data from digital music and release it under an open license. Basically it’s Last.fm but better. Whatever you use to listen to music, you can probably link it up with ListenBrainz. All ListenBrainz listening data...

@BoneALisa@lemm.ee avatar

I would love to move off last.fm, but this doesn’t support Plex, so that’s a no-go for me… I did create an account though, so once they do I will happily move over lol.

I dont really think its a “boys will be boys” issue, and more that i dont think any child deserves to have their entire life ruined for something so early in their life. While i dont disagree that its very tramatic for the girls, and it is a really fucked up thing to do that should have no excuses for being acceptable, i feel there are better ways to tackle this issue than marking a 14 year old as a sexual predator or throwing them in jail barring them from a large portion of jobs, housing, etc. for the rest of their life.

But to be clear, i am a prison abolitionist in general, so take that as you will.

I am in no way trying to downplay the hurt and pain something like that causes. As a dude, I don’t think I can ever really be able to know what that feels like, but I can recognize it and empathize with it. No one deserves to go through and live with something like that. It totally sucks, I agree.

However, what exactly is destroying another child’s life going to solve? Is it going to make that child stop doing the thing they were punished for? Maybe, but the US recidivism rates beg to differ (44% within the first year). So what then? Is it just to make us feel good, being happy to watch another person get hurt, justified by this made up concept of ‘justice’? That’s the more likely answer, IMO.

There are much more constructive ways to prevent this from happening again that doesn’t require marking a child as an “undesirable” for the rest of their life. I can’t necessarily point to what that might look like, maybe enforced counseling to try and teach someone like that why what they did caused so much harm.

Ultimately, what I am trying to say is that someone like this should be held accountable for their actions, but enforcing suffering from the state is not an effective or moral way to do it.

You talk a confident, condescending game for someone who cant substatiate any of their claims lol.
