You don’t have to vote, don’t worry about voting. The voting, we got plenty of votes.
Why does it sound like he's got a mountain of fake ballots sitting in a warehouse that he's gonna drop from a blimp or some shit.

What this story reveals is the stunning level of ignorance amongst Americans at large. This is a bona fide fascist manifesto, published by the handlers of the current leading presidential candidate, over a year ago. Nothing rattles me to my core quite like being confronted by the harsh reality that a lot of people out there are just going about their lives like everything is fine.
These are the people we need to organize with in order to ― at this point ― basically survive, so I'm very glad something was able to spur them into some level of action before election day.
That said, and please excuse the momentary lapse into doomerism, but if we have to rely on Hollywood and celebrity culture to bring something of this magnitude into public awareness, we might be more thoroughly cooked than it was previously thought to be possible.
So they found almost as many guns as a typical American household and like, a calendar written in Arabic? Yeah, they should definitely keep looking. I'm sure the weapons of mass destruction are in there somewhere. /s
You wasted 3 hours of your life so far lol
But yeah. I find the most mysterious and time-consuming of problems are usually caused by a very minor detail that is so obvious it gets overlooked immediately.
And even if you know that's probably the case, sometimes your brain will just discard information that isn't consistent with its assumed reality, and it tells you the piece of code you just read is fine when it's obviously not.
Troubleshooting/debugging is fun.

Honestly, huge shout out to the wave of enshittification crashing through Google and reddit and forcing me off their platforms. Decade-long debilitating addiction solved.
There's openSUSE tumbleweed. It's rpm based like fedora and it's rolling-release like arch. I don't know what the 3rd party/nonfree software situation is like. Maybe someone else can chime in on that front.
I will add, as an arch user, I think you could easily tweak your current system to be less annoying with the updates, but I realize that's not the question you're asking so feel free to disregard that.
I think this is a good enough reason to actually put in some effort to phase out ipv4 and dhcp. There shouldn't be a way for some random node on the network to tell my node what device to route traffic over. Stateless ipv6 for the win.
If Russia is drafting foreigners who would otherwise not be there if not for Unilever, then this would be a profoundly evil thing. If they're actually just drafting Russian citizens who happen to work at Unilever, then this might be a misleading headline. The article doesn't specify.
(Unilever still sucks for paying Russian taxes and supporting their war effort)

For the record, I'm not super worried about AI taking over because there's very little an AI can do to affect the real world.
Giving them guns and telling them to shoot whoever they want changes things a bit.
When your diffusion is too stable and it leaks out into physical reality...but is also a good boy
Alright, but if I end up getting stuffed in a goo-filled pod so the AI can suck my energy out through a massive plug in the back of my head, I'm gonna be pretty upset.
I agree 100%. "You're welcome" is the phrase that everyone knows to be the direct response to a "thank you", so using it implies the necessity of a prerequisite thanks. So really it's just a polite way of saying "yeah you better be thankful."
Whereas "no problem" seems to be a fairly sincere way to say "no thanks are needed, I'm helping because I want to."
A message from the government of Alberta
I kinda feel bad for the kid. I would absolutely hate if someone tried to use me as an excuse to get out of a huge mess of their own making. Sure, it sucks to not have your family there, but it's not by the judge being "evil". Trump engaged in criminal behaviour and that's fully on him.
This might even be a good thing, now Barron can do one thing in his life without having his unscrupulous father show up and cause a disturbance.
And the data harvesting app is nothing more than a stripped-down browser with the company's color scheme slapped on it.
I don't think an algorithm is responsible for the fact that most sane people are generally against genocide. People being pro-Palestine in this specific situation is a humanitarian response and should not be causing any amount of concern because it is the morally correct position here.
HOWEVER, the fact that we just witnessed the fucking letter to america go viral on tiktok, wherein a soul crushing amount of people publicly stated they agree with a fucking jihadist manifesto, is cause for a massive amount of concern. Tiktok definitely needs to face consequences for letting that happen. We also can't excuse the audience for that type of behaviour. Whether it came from a deliberate propaganda campaign, or a sketchy algorithm, or just mass stupidity, audience members need to be better. If you read the letter to america and you think bin laden was right, you're a moron, and you're contributing to the problem.
I mean, technically Linux is still at 2.6, they've just been making up version numbers for the last 20 years or so.
Honestly, this one is probably my favourite right now. Everyone seems pretty cool, the content is engaging, and there are discussions happening in practically every thread. Everything you could want in a community.
You know a conspiracy theory is psychotic when it presumes a massive multi-billion dollar corporation would manipulate consumers into supporting their left-wing agenda.
They're obviously doing it for the money.
Have you ever noticed those low effort reposts also getting the same top 10 comments as the original? It's slop all the way down.
I never really thought about it before, but it seems obvious now. Trekkies and open source tech folks would have a massive overlap, and Lemmy kind of exists perfectly within that intersection of utilitarian principles. So of course we would all find each other here.

That's not really a fair comparison. Robber barons got to build statues and skyscrapers as testaments to their own vanity, meanwhile recorded music was still in the process of being invented. Even so, I'll make the point that names like Beethoven, Liszt, Chopin, and Tchaikovsky are equally as recognizable.
I tend to think about it as density. Smaller chunks can be more tightly packed together, and are therfore more dense. As long as there is a way for the stuff to flow (i.e. shaking the bag), gravity will pull denser stuff to the bottom.
Sucks that we live in the one timeline where AI is guaranteed to become an agent of coercion and exploitation, and do a better job than any human at optimizing the system of inequality.
This happened to me a few weeks ago and the pain is still fresh. Please tell us your data is safely backed up, OP.

Private insurance doesn't even make sense.
Insurance is essentially a bunch of folks each contributing a small amount of their excess resources to a pool so that nobody gets left behind in case of a disaster. It's an inarguably collectivist idea. Private insurance just means there's some fat business types skimming more than their fair share off the top because they "own the company".
Nevermind the fact that single-payer systems are mathematically more efficient.
"Safer than [notoriously dangerous activity]" seems pretty on-brand with this guy

Real cryptocurrencies (of which bitcoin is the only one, don't @ me) I think are fine and worthwhile projects. 99% of the rest of the crypto sphere is straight up snake oil, and anyone saying any different is probably trying to sell you something.
The difference with the fediverse is that its main appeal is actually the decentralization and censor resistance, not the boatloads of speculative money to be made. The "entrepreneurs" seeing dollar signs is what made crypto into a joke, so hopefully we can avoid that for a while.
A really common issue with sway is that it doesn't run as a login shell, so none of your .profile or other environment settings get sourced when you login. I think that might be the problem here.
Try closing your sway session, then login to a tty and run sway. If the qt themes work properly then it's definitely an environment issue.
Company towns are about to return with a vengeance. Looking forward to our feudal amazonpunk future.
To add a few I haven't seen mentioned yet:
And a few more which I think are great but YMMV depending on your particular interests:
tl;dr: if you only pick up one name from all these comments, let it be jon bois. He's made some of the most compelling content I've ever seen, especially the "pretty good" series. Money back guarantee, you will not be disappointed.
tl;dr for real: jon bois, climate town, electroboom.
Fellow Arch user here (btw). It's exactly the same as building AUR packages. Clone a git repo containing a PKGBUILD, use makepkg to build it, and pacman to install it. The nice thing is you can host a repo of your built packages and install them on other systems really easily. The big downside is that dependency management is not automated, so it will take some time and annoyance to map out what packages you need to build and in what order, if you want a fully source-bootstrapped system.
The way I think it works is that your local instance hosts its own communities, and then it will reach out to other instances to grab content from every external community that at least one local user has subscribed to. "All" mode is limited to that set of content.
So I think the only way to see the entire set of all content on lemmy would be to meticulously subscribe to every single community on every single instance.
And someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you can still subscribe to subs on defederated instances, it's just the interactions that don't get passed back and forth.
The only difference between those two versions of linux is that the new one was built with a newer version of gcc. That doesn't really narrow the problem down, though. As far as I'm aware, emergency mode is caused by either a kernel panic or a failure to mount a needed filesystem. I'm leaning towards a corrupted kernel, since it doesn't sound like you changed your fstab or had any problem mounting /. I would run fsck -f on your boot partition, then try to re-download and reinstall the new package.
If that doesn't work, then you can add IgnorePkg = linux linux-headers to pacman.conf so you can update without installing the broken package, until you resolve the underlying issue. Or your can install a different kernel altogether.
As for preventing problems in the future, there's only so much you can do. Check archlinux.org before updating to see if anything requires manual intervention, and pay close attention while running pacman in case something goes wrong. You already seem to know the most important part, which is to keep a set of packages that are certain to work, so you can easily downgrade if a crash does happen.
Lmao when you're trying to turn your company into a bloodsucking vampire but you forgot that long ago, you told your lawyer to chain the coffin in case this very thing happened.
