Ayyo share n send my girl money this shit is life saving. Thanks for the engagement thus far.

Please help my dearest sister be on her way in relative safety. She's going through hell right now.

Shes a pillar of wisdom and strength among the girls in my life, this shit is no fucking joke. If you can spare anything please drop a few or share it around.

vlc whining 

Modifying the vlc-git PKGBUILD to target the latest VLC 3.0.x branch instead of this UI overhaul with removed features crap. I am so frustrated that I had to find this out by compiling from source.

edit: yeah I don't know how to make this work.

The upcoming VLC 4.0 UI update removes thr icecast online radio server directory. Huge and baffling regression.

Donation campaign for a Jewish family who fled from Ukraine and now lost their whole home and things to a fire in Germany too.

Campaign description only in Hebrew and Russian, but translate tools might help.

I happen to know one of the rabbis who vouch for this campaign.

📣 Update: thank you everyone who responded, I think we have enough for now (see reply).

Do I know anyone with the interest, capacity and hardware to receive (via mail) ~20TB of videos by trans creators on LTO-6 tape and upload them to archival storage? They are believed to be at imminent risk of censorship/takedown.

They are currently within mainland USA so ideal would be mailing them to someone also in the states who could then upload them to non-US archival storage.

When it rains, it pours! @nullagent was in a three-car crash last month when he was sandwiched between two other vehicles on the highway. We've been car-less since then, and it's a very challenging situation to dig ourselves out from under. This car was a miraculous gift, and miraculous gift cars are hard to come by! So, we're asking for help once again.

Please share widely!

"It’s not just the students: Multiple AI platforms now offer tools to leave AI-generated feedback on students’ essays. Which raises the possibility that AIs are now evaluating AI-generated papers, reducing the entire academic exercise to a conversation between two robots — or maybe even just one."

I was a little awkward in person due to my unique slime swagger and now the homies are calling me a CIA plant for talking about lentils.

Why welcome a notorious alt-right-adjacent agitator, @linuxmint?

This is very upsetting and absolutely disappointing.

Yo, I'm Geeky Jay (or just Jay)!
I'm a black autistic person who's holding a goal to get my 1st custom desktop PC build + equipment for me to become a creator on the web. (Streaming, video prod., voice acting and more)

All contributions will be hugely appreciated! 💙💙💙

now let me be clear 

CWs are great and I am posting about them because:

1. They can be funny
2. Absurdly online people suddenly make you a sworn enemy for using them and drag your name through the mud for no reason.

haha you must click to read more 

You know you can auto-expand content warnings in the settings, right?

That's always been an option. It is like a subject line.

Imagine if people complained that all the emails in their inbox weren't auto-expanding without clicking. Social media has brought strange expectations about visibility.
