When my grandmother met my now wife, who is from Alabama, my grandmother told her “well, we all have to be from somewhere”
It seems like it is time to nationalize Boeing.
I saw an article recently that over half of people of whom Medicare is available to are now on Medicare Advantage plans, which are actually private plans that take all your Medicare allotment and may not provide better coverage
It is shocking, but I guess 24/7 commercials on Fox News work 😞
It is a huge scam and the government never should have allowed it…but capitalism at all costs, I guess.
🍻here’s to all the developers out there who makes sure there site works great not only with Firefox, but also with ublock origin and piholes!
It is always shocking to me how many sites or apps completely fail to load if you dare block google analytics!
40 fucking dollars per month per kid. That might pay for a month’s worth of rice but isn’t a week’s worth for fruits, vegetables, and protein!
Most Americans I know don’t even have a scale in their kitchen!
I (an American) always wonder what a cup of spinach is. Like I can really pack it into a cup or not and there is a huge difference.
And don’t change their goals every 4-8 years. It is hard to accomplish a 10 year project if you can’t guarantee you’ll still be working on it in 10 years.
I really thought in 2016 Bernie would splinter the democrats and we’d have a true left party. I also thought trump would create a new party on the right and the republicans would go back to being republicans. Can you imagine a 4 party system!
To my surprise, the trump dragged the republicans even further to the right, and the democrats moved even more center-right to appease ex-republicans. So the whole nation just moved right, which is sad.
Lindows. I can’t believe it still exists in some form…
Here is what I do, it is a type of visualization meditation.
I have been watching futurama (original seasons) for 20 something years. I have seen each episode literally hundreds of times. I have them burned pretty well into my brain at this point.
I have ripped just the audio track from the DVDs. When I wake up in the middle of the night (2-4 times per night!), I turn on a random episode as audio only.
The goal here is to try to visualize the episode as you only listen to the audio. This forces you to focus on something rather than stress about life. It really helps me stop thinking about anything else. Because I know the episodes so well, it has become quite easy to stay focused on it (like watching with your eyes closed). And since I’ve seen the episodes so many times there is no fear of missing out, so you don’t try to stay awake to finish an episode. I can typically fall back asleep within 5-10 minutes with this technique.
I personally have these on my phone in a playlist and sleep with a single wired ear bud in one ear. I have a sleep timer set for 25 minutes. If I wake up, all I have to do is tap the button on my wired Apple headphones and it’ll continue playing for 25 more minutes. No need to open my eyes or take off my sleep mask.
And he griped about the prospect of missing Barron’s graduation.
“I was looking forward to that graduation, with his mother and father there, and it looks like the judge does not allow me to escape this scam,” he said
Wait, who is Barron’s father?
Or having a single employee manage an entire store. This is entirely the fault of these stores and their lack of investment in their own employees.
Because some intercity buses (Megabus) don’t want to pay for their own stations or even pay to use and existing intermodal facility.
NASA’s biggest issue over the last 35 years is that it became a political target. It is really hard to do long term design when your mission changes every 4 years along with a different budget. NASA should have a budget that is only reapproved every 30 years and should not have to worry about outside influence from a president dictating its mission.
Cdparanoia to make sure I get a good rip. Then flacenc to convert to flac. Then Picard to tag and organize it.
Do a flip!
They have to pay hundreds of millions a year bribing politicians across the world!
I recommend reading this article "I Went to 50 Different Dentists and Almost All of Them Gave Me a Different Diagnosis":
My in-laws power outlets throughout the whole house have always on LEDs on them. It drives me crazy. My mother in law likes it and says they are like night lights, but the whole house is so bright at night.
Windows 95 crashing for the 5th time that day corrupting another high school paper.
I knew nothing about Linux, but bought a red hat 6 cd and installed it. I never dual booted or ever went back.
This was in the day of getting a modem that actually worked on Linux was a PITA as everything had turned into software based winmodems. And it wasn’t like you could just order one online. You had better have hoped Best Buy/circuit city/compusa had something.
Food is crazy. My wife went to jersey mikes and got a sandwich for herself. It came out to $17.50!
I still play a lot of need for speed underground on my ps2.
I’ll also always love Carmageddon 2. So much fun and a soundtrack full of Iron Maiden!
This is sad. I still prefer xorg over Wayland. I have so many small customizations that depend on devilspie, wnck, and other tools that don’t have a complete Wayland replacement yet.
Right. We should be offering way more than $40 a month per kid and the fact that republicans want to cut what is basically a pittance shows how cruel they are.
Yup, everyday, but only the original 4 seasons. I have the audio ripped from my DVDs on my phone which just plays random episodes. No need to keep a screen on!
My grandma was from the Midwest, mostly South Dakota. My grandma was very sweet and so it really cracked us up when she said that.
I’ve given up on YouTube because of its terrible interface and just use tube archivist + Jellyfin.
Nextcloud is nice since iPhone natively supports caldav/carddav so you can use the built in reminders app.
I also have a framework 13. It has been great! I run the latest fedora and everything works great out of the box.
My only annoyance is fedora disable hibernate by default and now that s2idle is the default instead of s3, too much battery is used while sleeping. That said, it isn’t difficult to enable s3 and hibernate.
I highly recommend civil discourse. She does an excellent job of breaking down everything going on in the trump cases:
That episode completely missed the point. No one is arguing about pressing the tab key vs pressing the spacebar 4 times. It is purely about whether the tab key inserts a tab character, \t, or a series of spaces.
There are valid arguments both ways. But if you want to piss me off, mix the two!
A huge amount of nurses have left the field in the last decade. This has been due to poor wages, poor working conditions, and more pressure on nurses. They all burned out.
During Covid, even when we were all clapping for nurses, instead of giving pay raises they’d rather hire contractors and travel nurses to fill positions because pay raises are permanent. A whole bunch of nurses I know left to do temporary travel, sometimes at the hospital they already worked at. This created huge amounts of resentment and nurses left in droves.
The consolidation of our hospitals and health facilities into the hands of a few small companies is leading to a huge collapse of our healthcare, and it is all their own making.
This all started 30 years ago when hospitals stopped being run by a chief medical officer and a chief nursing officer, and instead began being run by MBAs who only looked at numbers and short term profits. Drs and Nurses have no autonomy anymore and are treated like workers on an assembly line.
Get rid of the MBAs. Break up HCA, Tenant, and the other big chains, require all health facilities to be non profits, and maybe we’ll see people who actually want to work in the medical profession again.
I have a framework laptop that I run Linux on. It has been a fantastic machine so far!
Grimm Fandango (one of the best games ever made) along with Myst and Riven also run on Scummvm!
I use s3 deep sleep which then hibernates after and hour. Works great for me as I don’t do work on my personal laptop so I’m only using it on evenings and weekends.
The Secret of Monkey Island!
Youtube channels (I unsubscribed from everything on my YouTube account, hardly ever login, and only use RSS to follow the channels I want)
This is the way to do it. I can't stand youtube's interface and its recommendations, auto play, and other anti-features frustrace me. I find that on youtube, when I go look at a channel, I often can't figure out which video is the most recent, and really struggle to see figure out what I've watched and what I haven't.
Using RSS let's me see when there is a new video posted just from the channels I am interested in. I don't have to go hunting. FreshRSS will watch it through youtube-nocookie.com, but I often find using yt-dlp is better experience, especially for anything longer than 5 minutes.
I have a dedicated music player with all my favorite music for offline listening (fiio x3 and also a pinephone with lollipop)
I also have a Jellyfin server and use finamp on my phone. It isn’t public so I have an always on WireGuard vpn.
For my stereo, I have a raspberry pi hooked up. It runs mpd and mounts the same music directory as Jellyfin using nfs.
The raspberry pi also has an nfc reader and I have nfc cards with printed artwork on them. Tapping them to the reader starts playing that album.
Lemmy and the fediverse is not about free speech and democratizing a platform, it is about eliminating central authority.
Lemmy.world can enforce whatever stupid rules they want on their instance and their communities. But none of that stops you from running your own instance and a community on your instance where you can enforce your rules.
