Huh…The Oatmeal is still making comics.

I’m proud I made it to day 8 I think

Tribalism has been with the human race since we’ve had literal tribes. Not being racist, in comparison, is relatively new.

Not trying to justify racism but pointing out that the reason why decent people aren’t racists is because we learned that basing hatred on intrinsic qualities in a person is stupid and we should cooperate instead of oppress.

But there are people who just want to oppress.

Nations can’t ignore the fact that the US has one of the most active militaries in the world. Our Navy is more of less second to none and we have nukes. In the hands of a normal president, we might be fine but you sure as heck know that Trump and his Project 2025 people are just itching to launch one.

This is a situation where there are no good options. The best you can do is continue political pressure, get other nations to rally behind you in the hopes of creating a strong economic resistance.

But the real answer is that we, the US citizens, need to fucking take this country back. I hate to say it but protests simply aren’t enough anymore.

I think people like rationalizing their behaviors so that they don’t seem weird. When really they are just being themselves.

Behaviors become mental illnesses when they start to affect other parts of your life. Organizing your books by color is unusual and quirky, but not a mental illness.

If you can’t leave a library because you have to organize their books by color, then it’s a mental illness.

There’s a season 2?! I thought it got cancelled after the first season.

Reverse engineering prohibitions are the dumbest things.

Let’s say I do this. Arduino sues me. Okay. Now what? What money are they going to take?

Hell, this would be a perfect time for everyone to form an LLC and purchase Arduinos as the LLC and then release your research under your corporate name as CC0. If your LLC has no revenue, you as an individual are legally protected.

Arduino can try to put the genie back in the bottle but good luck.

Better companies than Arduino have tried to prevent hardware reverse engineering and have failed. Apple being the biggest company I can think of that have tried to sue people for releasing schematics of their motherboards.

This was always to the goal of “age verification”. The government wants a way to know who is behind every “subversive” comment so that they can chill speech. “For the children” is just the most convenient excuse.

If that doesn’t work, it will be “to fight terrorism”.

Yes you can but the practicality of doing so is very limiting. Hell I ran my own CA for my own internal use and even I found it annoying.

The entire CA ecosystem is terrible and only exists to ensure connections are encrypted at this point. There’s no validation or any sort of authority to say one site is better than another.

My experience with self-hosted apps on my phone are limited. I’ve never used Plex so I never used it’s mobile app.

So thank you for the clarification.

Doesn’t finamp provide music player features?

I wish jellyfin would support downloading music out of the box.

He essentially got it for not being Bush.

Not saying Donnie deserves it but we need to stop pretending that Obama getting the prize is some sort of achievement.

Honestly wouldn’t surprise me if the next elected Democrat president got it either.

Wait what’s wrong with MariaDB?

It’s FOSS, it’s compatible with MySQL libraries.

Tell me you don’t understand how GPL works without telling me how GPL works.

GPL has been battle tested in court and has the most precedence than any other license. Hell I’d even include proprietary licenses.

Core Android and ChromeOS are FOSS because they have to be. But because Linus Torvalds didn’t want to move Linux to GPL3, we have proprietary bootloaders with free software.

THAT’S how we have corporations profiting from GPL. Not because GPL allows anyone to use it.

Wait…WHAT?!

I don’t want to fact check this. Is this true? Is this what all the memes were about yesterday?!

I’d trust a Lemmy source more than a reddit source.

But that’s just me.

I’m sorry but I have to ask: what is the point of a 50 year mortgage?

It sounds like a dumb way to give banks even more interest.

The political process and how to change it in a meaningful and lasting way without risking tyranny profits of the capital class is almost always the problem.

Ftfy.

I have a very common name. My Starbucks name is Bart.

Add dual climate control and then I’m with you.
