linux packaging
System package dependencies which are brought in during an upgrade or installation transaction should feature a warning if they are above 4 GB in size and not explicitly marked for installation. I keep having weird domino effects of dependencies of dependencies which have huge disk space requirements, and feel entitled to 30-80GB of space in a weird /opt folder.
Rodney Hinton was back in court yesterday to enter a plea and possibly seek bail.
In parallel's to Luigi Mangione, cops showed up in comically overwhelming force at his first court appearance.
Every step Rodeny makes in court is within INCHES of a snearing pig with a gun.
Early Tuesday morning a local journalist tweeted the last pick saying:
"Officers are now packing the courtroom in support of their fallen brother in blue."

Help an immigrant queer family not be deported, mutual aid
*edit* We have reached the goal! You don't have to boost this post anymore, we will be ok! thank you so much!
original post:
Dear friends, it pains me to ask for mutual aid when so many bad things are happening in the world, but we got an unexpected bill for 2536,17€ at the worst possible timing, and as a single-income mother of 4 I have nowhere else to turn to.

Many of you in the fediverse know our situation: We are a 100% immigrant, queer family in Germany, including both my legal children and also found-family homeless trans youth who had nowhere else to turn to. We are politically engaged in the anarchist, antifascist, and ecological/forest defense movements. After many years here we're currently applying for citizenship and solving paperwork issues that will allow everyone to study, work and live without fear of deportation. We fulfill all requisites, in theory; but the bureaucracy is hellish.
Yesterday we got a letter informing us that our electricity costs have increased over 3.7 times, retroactively for 2024. This was not an increase in our power consumption, but on the fees. This sudden raise was common accross Europe but due to the way that bills work in Germany, we are expected to pay the difference—2536,17€—all in one go, before May 19. There might be a way to negotiate payment in installments with the utility company, but we have to pay it regardless. Moreover our monthly power bill went from 85€ to 316€ (!), which plus the installments will be a real hit on the monthly budget. We will of course be radically saving electricity from now on, but again due to the way bills work in Germany, that will only make a difference after 12 months, for the next adjusment.
This is bad timing because many of our visas are about to expire, in less than 3 months, and government agencies are very slow to respond. Our citizenship applications were made more than 6 months ago but we had no answer yet, so now we're forced to apply redundantly for a residence visa renewal (which itself cost over 350€). During these applications our finances are examined, and I have to prove I have the means to maintain my family here. Getting into debt at this point could be catastrophic; after almost a decade here, my job, their school, passports, our whole life here would be lost.
Please do prioritise in your mutual aid people undergoing genocide, or in warzones or direct life threat. I will also continue to do so, once we're out of this hole. But if you have the means to share some cash with us, even if we don't cover the full bill, the more we can cover of it the better our situation will look before the gaze of immigration authorities. Even small amounts like 1 or 2 bucks add up. If you're in no position to spare money, a boost also helps. Once our budget is in the green again, your generosity will be passed forward. Help us stay here and I guarantee we'll keep supporting queer people, creating art, punching nazis, and generally agitating the Imperial core from the inside. Thanks for your kindness 🙇♀️

- We are in the process of changing electricity provider, and being careful with the fine print;
- We have been informed that we can apply to reduce the monthly "estimated" payment in advance, after we get our consumption reduced.
Any other advice in dealing with this situation is welcome.
this is a callout post for kolektiva mods
@evdas their attitude is toxic and setting up the perfect environment for rampant abuse of their userbase by treating moderation inactions as moderation actions. Their ego is inflated by their awareness of their scale. Their moderation actions have been directly effected by their self-importance and elevation of their content as being too important to not be federated everywhere with consequences for their users. None of this is excusable?
Their attitude has not changed since they refused to suspend disqordia. Unless you can find me some evidence to the contrary. In all but rhetoric this is identical to how muh free speech servers operate. I am concerned they will allow this open wound to fester and an infection to take hold, allowing a breeding ground for a leftist-styled "alt fedi" (antiblack users) to center efforts around. The only reason disqoridia didn't do that already was because they shut down from being too isolated from other servers who actually give a shit.
Update: My last account got banned off kolektiva.social for the same reasons my ni.hil.ist account got banned (posting mutual aid). This new ban hit me hard as the kolektiva.social admins refused to allow me to move my followers to this account (even ni.hil.ist had the decency to allow me to move my account first before deleting), and so as a result i lost my one and only mutual aid network and now have to start from scratch.
If you have the money, please donate. I need the money urgently to afford food and clothing and other basic necessities. If you dont donate nobody else will because sadly nobody on this app gives a shit about impoverished abused trans people. Seriously i need the help urgently.
Main: I live in an abusive and transphobic home, my family hates me because i am trans. i am disabled and unable to get a job. i will literally die without donations. Please donate to me to help me afford my basic necessities like HRT, food, clothing, phone bill, etc. Anything helps please!

Programmer and IT girl. Pseudo-vegan for the environment (-avocados +oysters). Very uncomfortable with astrology. Please don't call me "dude", "bro", "man", etc. Radical egalitarian anarchist, hierarchies and hate are incompatible with a free and equal life .
If you hate stoners just dni. I am also a trans woman so I *checks notes* meme about femininity and feminization sometimes. After dark account at: @thufieplus but read my bio there before sending a follow request even if we are already mutuals here. Oh and just to be clear because I think I see other white people on here trying to fake not being white under a bunch of other text, I'm just a disoriented white girl trying her best.
