Bought a PineNote last year.
A wonderful device! But it’s pretty expensive ($400 before import duty) and required some hands-on terminal work to get set up properly.
I knew what I was getting into though. As a Debian Linux e-reader, it was worth the effort and money.
If serious: The breeding thing and this being SF suggests some strange subgroup from lesswrong/rationalism/TESCREAL or whatever they go by now.
My personal take: If I’m synthesizing historical information and recounting it in the current day, I would use their current name and pronouns. The person they are today (or died as) still did those things. It also gives space to recognize that, although they might not gave had the opportunity to be out as a trans person during those achievements, doesn’t mean they didn’t feel trans back then.
Oh cool.
And can I also get a refund on the ~$17 tariff inspection fee charged by the shipping company? That fucking handout to a billion-dollar corporation who held my package hostage, just so they would fill out some paperwork? I’m getting it all back, right?
I’ve had my TinyMight for 6 years now, and the only thing I’d replace it with is a newer model where you can more easily unscrew the battery door.
I see the G pen elite selling for $200 USD. I’d recommend to check out fuckcombustion.com to see what user reviews there are. There are plenty of vapes at that price point which look cool, but really aren’t worth the money when compared to other options. And if you can’t find many reviews on fuckcombustion, chances are it’s really not worth your money.
My personal recommendation: Get a vape which can be combined with a bong adapter. DHV through a bong is a sublime experience, even my friend who only eats edibles will make an exception when I pass him the TinyMight + Bong.
Edit: Oh shit, the fuckcombustion forum is down? I hope it’s not permanent.
Different states have different laws, but many have faithless elector protections.
A faithless elector is someone who, after being chosen for the electoral college, does not vote for the candidate that everyone expected. Since states have a wide latitude to select or reject electoral college representatives, they can pas laws saying “If you change your vote, we will cancel your vote and replace you”. I would expect that this popular vote compact requires such protection.
I’ve had success with wayvnc, but that’s because I use wlroots based wayland compositors. It doesn’t work for GNOME or KDE.
I suppose there’s nothing to stop someone from having multiple compositors installed to the same host. One for meatspace interaction, and a wlroots based compositor for remote access.
Both revolutions came about in no small part due to terrible winter conditions.
France had a terrible harvest in 1788 followed by a brutal winter where starving families had to choose between buying expensive bread or firewood.
St Petersburg in winter of 1917 was miserably cold, and city dwellers queued for hours in outdoor bread lines while much of the available food was sent to war.
It’s not enough that people hate a government. If they still have faith that the system can work for them (“Just one new finance minister, and France will be saved”, “If we can get rid of that damned Rasputin, the Tsar will wake up and hear our cries”) they will give it a chance. Mass starvation has a way of breaking such faith, but it’s obviously not the only thing that can.
In the US, there’s very much a mood among the anti-MAGA crowd that an election can still fix things.
It looks more like a flatworm than a penis anyway.
Did someone ask for jank, dust, and cables?
This is weird to see, given I just finished watching all the Resident Evil movies the other night.
Your system may be reading the default config from /usr/lib/sddm/sddm.conf.d/default.conf, in which case the config file in /etc will probably be empty. You should not edit the contents of a default config.
The recommended location for sddm.conf is within the /etc/sddm.conf.d/ directory, so also check for files there.
In that case, it looks like you need to edit sddm.conf and set the HideUsers= field. Source.
The answer will depend on which desktop environment or login manager you’re using.
System users are not the right solution. The use-case for such accounts is when you want certain background services to be linked to a non-human account. Eg: Serving web requests from an http user account that only has access to nginx and the /var/www directory. By default, users created in this way don’t even have a home directory.
Bone ash apartments sound cool, no bad weather to spoil your visit. Plus, that’s how we get the Lavender town Pokémon tower IRL.
My friend stores his drinks in a 30’s era monitor-top fridge. God help him if those chemicals ever escape.
The California bill was approved and signed into law back in October:

Actually, purge night would be a great chance to fake your death. Since all crime is legal on purge night, Bob won’t face charges of insurance fraud.
There could be a purge comedy about how boring old Bob from accounting broke into the morgue on purge night to steal a body. His original plan is to leave the body in his house and burn it down, sending the money to his wife who is dying of cancer. But then it turns out that the wife has hired a purge gang to kill Bob for the same reason.
Home assistant integration saves the day: I built a small remote that lives next to my preferred viewing seat.
With one action, I can turn off the lights and hit play. Playback is then linked to the lights, so it pauses when anyone needs to get up and resumes when the lights go out again.
I use it only as a reader, so can’t comment on notes.
As a reader, it’s great. I love that the backlight has color temperature control, so I can adjust the white/red balance depending on the time of day.
Koreader is pretty good software. It took some time to identify and configure my preferred settings. My only gripe is with “discoverability” of my library. Koreader has a very basic file selector, and I wish I could search titles, metadata, etc without needing another program (probably calibre?).
Battery life is definitely not as good as your proprietary ereader. If I leave it suspended at 100% charge, the battery dies in 3-4 days if bluetooth and wifi is on, and maybe 7-8 if they’re off. Meanwhile, my old nook could go several weeks without usage.
My least favorite part is anything related to typing. The screen keyboard feels unresponsive at times, which is hard when you’re typing passwords in a terminal session. For any shell work I connect to a TTY over USB, or I have a little bluetooth keyboard.
