If there is a primary hopefully she will perform the public service of prompting the others to distance themselves from Bidens handling of Gaza

Its definitely something to keep in your mind with any computer. What I will say to assure you, is that the tools you are used to using on Windows for protection have equivalents for Linux. ClamAV for antivirus, firewalls, and anti malware software are available in most distros repos.

If you want to be more confident in your security knowledge on Linux, I recommend reading up on the basic permission systems for Linux. Make an isolated folder to explore chmod, chown, and Linux groups and see how accessing files with different permissions works. You can even look at SELinux (Security Enhanced Linux) for more of an idea of how kernel security can work.

Flashbacks to having pavucontrol open, editing default.pa and watching pulse crash over and over trying to get echo cancelling working

French Furries: eauxWeaux :3

Looks like I’m sticking with good old nvim for another dozen or so years

It would be sad to see you go, your sense of humor has definitely made Lemmy more enjoyable lately. That said Lemmy isn’t worth it if your mental health would suffer. Do what’s best for you, and if that happens to be posting great shit posts then we will all benefit

I was lucky enough to get Zinn as required reading when I was still a weird conservative child. History teachers can be great

Being angry is a very easy to access motivated place. I suspect some of the nastier folks just aren’t good at motivating themselves otherwise

This patch is looking amazing. This feels like the Operation Health we were supposed to get with Five Nights. Trickster rework is huge, and looks great. Map is awesome. The changes to special/basic interactions being explicit is fantastic. The Mastermind bugfix pass looks incredible. Also contained my favorite patch note of this set

Fixed an issue where players could escape a trial when grabbed by The Mastermind under high latency conditions.

The ghost face fix also feels validating

Echo people saying go to a common starter distro instead of a more esoteric one. Another starter tip if you want to learn the ecosystem deeply is to find good sources of documentation.

The man command is always useful, but for more general topics you can start looking with your distros help pages -> package documentation -> Alternate distro wiki. Essentially start with the documentation most relevant to your setup, which will often be your distros own guides. If your answer isn’t there you can check upstream with the packages themselves. Many have github/sourceforge pages with good info. If you still can’t find your answers several distros have documentation pages that are really really useful even when you’re on different distros. The Arch wiki is for me the defining feature of the distro, and almost any answer to a Linux question can be found between the Arch Wiki and the Gentoo Wiki if you read closely.

You look great and you got this!

Sure thing. Let you get back to the real work of having your face caved in by ICE because fighting back makes you as bad as them, or waiting patiently for them to finish ethnic cleansing while you vote your way to a better world.

Its not brave or moral to let a machine designed to harm people continue operating, even if it requires violence to stop it. It is not more ‘mature’ to let millions get crushed under the boot heel to avoid discomfort for others. We have to build better while we destroy the systems that are hurting us, but those systems need to be destroyed.

We don’t have much of a choice, history marches regardless so we gotta do this:

Yeah we absolutely need to have our sights set on future if for nothing else than to save ourselves the work later. We need to do work today that will compound over time to benefit the future and we also need to ensure we are not leaving anyone behind to wait on a better future.

Hack the planet

I think its supposed to be a specific criticism directed towards more auth lefties like MLMs who want to create a dictatorship of the proletariat to transition to a dissolved state communist society. So the comic is saying don’t hold out to build the vanguard party, destroy the parts of society that are hurting us and do the best you can to improve the current state of the world.

I’m not 100% on board with the message, but if that’s what it is saying it could be worse.

The less obvious fucked up part is how do you suppose they determine whether an exception was met? Do you think that is happening before the law enforcement goons have access to personal medical data?

Almost certain that at the very least, having a medically necessary abortion will get your private health records turned over to the police. You will become an investigation target and have your privacy violated before they can even possibly know whether you fall under an exception. Mix in the general disposition of police and the specific conflicting interest of stalker/abusive cops who will have no motivation to protect the people in these situations and you have a system designed to put every pregnant person in the US in the sights of PD firearms.

Ready for the wave of conservatives telling on themselves by saying this is fine
