I really hated all the moaning about people calling out that both are shitty options. The Overton window is so far to the right. Like, yeah Harris is clearly the better option but neither represent any positive moves forward.

Aye. Famine is a failure in policy. Enough people in power have decided that these people should suffer and die.

I rather like the wide berth people give me even though it doesn’t make much sense. Like, anyone could have Covid, but if I had it and I wear a respirator I’ll be less dangerous than someone who has it and doesn’t wear one. I get that people equate respirators with spooky but that’s just because they haven’t thought about it.

Thinking back on it, there was a single dude that spoke to me randomly. I think it might have been because of the mask but I’ve genuinely no idea, I always wear ANC headphones and ignore people. It helps my anxiety a lot.

Sadly, the people that will really appreciate you using a respirator are those you generally don’t see out and about because they can’t be, it isn’t safe for them.

I also mask. People don’t generally talk about it here, and masking wasn’t even very common back when the pandemic was taken more seriously.

Never faced any aggression but people do give you a wide berth which is kind of hilarious to me, but it doesn’t bother me at all.

I was brushing my teeth when reading this comment and inadvertently ended up swallowing all my toothpaste.

I support this.

3 hours of deep worm.

I keep reading work as worm.

Wasn’t he in hot water for corruption a while ago?

Wow I’d missed that. Honestly we need to throw out the entire parliament. They’re all broken.

Wait, they’re withholding security updates unless you pay? Hope they go bankrupt.

It’s not private given that they require your phone number to sign up.

Wow. Took them fucking long enough. They’ve been doing that with LGBTQ+ videos for ages already, so it’s not like the tech hasn’t been there. For shame.

I mean, Winston Churchill most definitely was a villain. He wasn’t the villain of WWII, but undoubtedly a villain.

He was intensely racist, had no problem using Indian people in his army while censoring their letters, as a famine he had a hand in creating killed over three million people.

That’s no excuse for peddling propaganda-Nazi propaganda, though. I thought that was kind of this guy’s shtick?

Wow you unlocked a memory in me. I recall doing something similar but using some send command to do the same with any computer logged in and on the network.

Week after that I met a dude from municipal school IT support and that’s when I first learned about Linux. He had Red Hat on his laptop and he was happy to talk about it. Very cool dude.

Aye. I didn’t look deeply into it but it’s nice that it exists.

I previously had the Roborock S4, and upgraded to a Roborock S8 with the auto-emptying dock last year. I have a husky mix, and so my home gets quite hairy. Having a robot vacuum that can empty itself without me having to really do much is a lifesaver. Roborock also offers spare parts, and you can take these machines apart to fix them, if the need arises; none of my machines have ever broken down though.

You don’t need to connect the robot to the app, but I don’t think you get the scheduling functionality without it. You can of course always just press the button to start it manually, and that’s what I’ve been doing most of the time since I want it running when I’m out and that time window tends to shift a bit.

Yesterday I also learned that there’s OSS you can flash onto the machine to decouple it from Xiaomi’s stuff, which I think is great.

Is your kid in therapy? Because going by what you’ve said, your partner has been sick and depressed for 40% of your kid’s entire lifespan. That’s bound to take a toll.

Frame it as part of the treatment for MS.

Solid idea. Though, I feel like this is phrased a bit strangely, because it makes it sound like this is duplicitous. A part of the treatment for any chronic condition would be how to cope with and emotionally process living with it. This is part of the treatment for MS.

Good. Hating half the population is a pretty extreme take.
