Is it worth going to a local Linux User Group, as a woman?

really sucks that phones stopped including IR blasters. Imagine a world where expensive devices that rely on IR wouldn't become useless the instant you lost the remote.

@thufie I'm like 90% sure I interacted with this person in a similar situation on the RPCS3 Discord too

They're one of those assholes who try to bait people into revealing they pirated a game so they can get banned for breaking the no piracy rules

I assume those rules exist to cover the devs' asses, but some people just really want to lick corporate boot That Fucking Much

"Uhhh ackhshually I have reasonable grounds to believe you pirated the game you're trying to run through Lutris so I won't help you with your issue, if you hadn't pirated it you wouldn't be manually installing it through an .exe" 💀

Open source """communities""" stop being ridiculously toxic and pretending to be anti-corporate while bootlicking corporations challenge (impossible)

If you’re a small/indy left/anarchist outlet and need an explainer on Lebanon/Israel/Palestine/Syria I am willing to come on your pod/outlet/do a written interview for free. Only criteria I ask is that you are committed to anti-authoritarian politics and do not platform toxic grifters ala Grayzone, Breakthrough News and co.

I’m tired of seeing stupid tankie takes.

I wish more people who are worried about FOSS supply side attacks would realize that universal basic income and free healthcare would result in an almost infinite stream of excellent software from people who care more about quality than profit.

The US gov even supports ultra-rich landlords *banning* us Native Hawaiians even renting in Hawaii. This targeted ethnic cleansing is part of why over half of us indigenous Hawaiians don't live in our own land.

Jibal is calling for a solidarity fund to support the people of #Lebanon in these challenging times. Help ppl survive in the face of #Israel ‘s ongoing onslaught.

I ſee there are, in this Table, a number of Letters, and different in their Figures and Sizes, pray explain them to me.

Why is it the English Alphabet instead of the English Aybee?

Neither alpha (α) nor bet (ב) are in the latin script used by English?

Israel / Lebanon, climate crisis 

Occupation of southern Lebanon territory is geopolitically advantageous to both Israel and the United States because the 2022 deal brokering shared revenue of the Qana offshore gasfield would no longer be relevant. Even if it were, the agreement has the US brokering any developments should prospectors find more or (more relevantly) borders change. All of this viewed in light of the current slaughter, invasion, and background of climate crisis has a very grim message for the world to come. Not only will extraction and emissions continue as planned, colonial powers will bomb and raze countries towards this end.

Not to say that this is "really all that the invasion is about", but the United States has something of a foreign policy trend in the middle east that regards arabs not retaining oil and gas revenues. Making moves on getting extraction rights via violence, taking on convenient proxies for western extraction operations to take root, all moves within precedent. Other empires seem poised to make similar moves in the future and to pretend as if this does not impact the US support of Israel is wishful thinking.

In an age of extraction and neocolonialism every war is also a resource war. Human lives are cheap in light of imperial affluence and power projection which demands high carbon upkeep. Nobody can be serious about the ongoing climate crisis if they are not firmly anti-war.

The United States is always looking for boogeymen and can never seem to find a mirror

English is such a fun language. You're speaking it for two decades and all of a sudden you stumble over a word such as "weft" and are expected to believe that it's a real thing

I enjoy the posts about birds, nature, philosophy, gay stuff, and science a lot. However, and this may surprise some people (somehow): I am not really here to look through the minutes of the people's revolutionary vote-posting blame allocation committee.
