They had me until the last three words.

Little refillable and rechargeable salt-nic vapes are nearly as cheap as disposables up front and much cheaper over time. You usually can’t get them at gas stations like you can with disposables, but the reoccurring cost of replacement pods and juice is much less than constantly buying a new disposable. My partner and I are big fans of our Vaporesso Xross.

I really dont understand how disposables have gotten so commonplace with so many good salt-nic vapes on the market.

We’re all being fucked by corporate AI anyways, and none of us are in the room to shape decisions. To me, using AI (and especially paying for it from the likes of chatGPT) is capitulating to the oppressors and doesnt actually allow us any greater control over the technology’s future. It teaches reliance on a technology that has the express purpose of replacing our need to think and removing us from the fruits of our labor. I don’t pretend it doesnt exist because I’m not delusional, but I will argue that it’s ultimately harmful to society with my last breath, at least in it’s current forms.

Many small creators also sell directly on social media. Unfortunately that’s mostly corporate owned social media, but at least they dont typically get a cut of the sale.

Even still, local creators will often pop up at events and conventions and stuff. They may not have a permanent presence, but you can still often buy stuff from them in person if you keep up with where they’ll be.

I had no idea wtf to do when I first encountered one of these.

I’ve been vaguely planning on using btrfs in raid5 for my next storage upgrade. Is it really so bad?

Thats a setting you can change, and not a bug but the intentional default behavior because MMS is much more expensive than SMS in many parts of the world

They both got silver if I’m not mistaken

That makes total sense from a corporate perspective. Maybe I would just love to be the one the pushes us a little bit closer to the enduser having control of their data and hardware. Its probably a pipe dream though lol.

I’m planning on getting some recertified Seagate Ironwolfs from SeverPartDeals very soon

GPLs “restrictions” are freedom preserving though. It only restricts developers from keeping dirivitive code proprietary. In order to violate the GPL you’d have to choose to use GPL code and then choose not to release your modified versions of it under a similar copyleft license. It may seem counterintuitive, but having those restrictions results in more software freedom overall - similar to the paradox of intolerance.

I’m not saying MIT or so called permissive licenses are bad, but the permissive/restrictive language is just as loaded as the OPs suggestions. Both styles are needed, but copyleft licenses are better at promoting software freedom.

Edit: I do agree with you that LGPL serves an important role in promoting free/libre software where it would otherwise would never be used.

Edited my kernal parameters to prevent my CPU from going into a low power state that had been causing crashes for years apparently.

Edit: if you use 1st gen ryzen and have been putting up with intermittent crashes thinking it was your shitty old used GPU like me, try disabling c-state 6.

Why would you not be able to access the filesystem of a device you own and are in possession of? Is this some kind of walled-garden thing I’m too Apple-free to understand?

It’s not just about the content posted by individuals though. The community and relationships built on a centralized platform are also at risk to a much greater degree than they would be on federated social media.

How would you get through the install though? Are there any simple solutions without any graphics output?

What if I’ve never built a headless system and am afraid of not having easy access to a GUI?

He’s referring to Threads

I didn’t even notice that was a mod. Disgraceful honestly. I was surprised to see that post still up after the poster continuously and deliberately misunderstood what FOSS means. Like its fine if you want to make open source software without a free license, but at least recognize the difference when people spell it out for you, or at the very least don’t be rude about it.

Suprisingly common though. I guess telegram is somewhat better than discord.

Love Cool People who did Cool Stuff!
