In the US, companies are under no obligation to honor any request that they stop sending you physical mail. Send them as many requests in as varied a format as you like; they can ignore each and every one.
EXCEPT. If you say "please stop, this mailing made me horny", they are required by federal law to immediately block your address. It doesn't have to be honest or sincere; just saying "your ad turned me on, and I don't like it" is enough. 🌈⭐️

I kind of don't like this thing that happens in many sitcoms where characters are complete assholes to each other and prank each other and shout at each other 90% of the time and then they shoehorn in stone heartfelt moments where they get all lovey dovey with each other and you're supposed to get the impression that actually, they really loved each other all this time

"The behavior of the police at Robb Elementary is only shocking if you are committed to a mythic notion of what policing entails. The “thin blue line” does not separate society from chaos. It instead separates those empowered by the state to uphold racial capitalism with violence... In the face of centuries of evidence exposing what the work of policing actually entails - and does not entail - the true ideologues are those committed to policing as a solution."

I cant believe some people go to work and dont feel like they are being forcibly removed from their life for 8+ hours
(I promise that it's about much more than just "what do X and Y mean"!)
If you're interested in FOSS, UX, community dynamics, terminology/language, communication, accessibility, and how all of these things intersect... this thread is a very fascinating read: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=43501
It's like a little microcosm of FreeCAD as a project, the issues it runs into, the (problematic) community dynamics, conflicting interests/priorities, and FOSS accessibility issues

Warning: There’s an app for blurring out sensitive information in images called Obfuscate being featured on #GNOME Software right now.
Please be careful.
The default blur setting can easily be reversed.
The default should be to replace the areas with a solid colour or a pattern not derived from the underlying information.
This really should not be a featured app in its current state.

FOSS bros: If you don't like something on Linux, you can just use a distro that has what you want! Problem solved!!
Me: Is there even a single distro that has usable scroll bars?

Looking for cable assembly factory.
For a work project, I am looking for a factory that performs cable assembly to order. The factory I have worked with previously has closed, and I can't find another one that wants to accept this order because of "small quantities".
I need the assembly of different types of cables, from one conductor to fifty conductors, from 16AWG to 24AWG. Different types of connectors/terminals. A total of 2300 cables.
Does anyone know of one where I can request a quote? It doesn't matter if it is an international order. Thank you. Boosts welcome.
