Doublespeak has always been their bread and butter, like “trickle down”. Add the mindrot of “faith”, and bang, you have the reigns. My birth family ate that Reagan-era shit up.

edit: heh, I didn’t notice your username until after

i.e.: Eternal September amplified by the host of knock-on effects stemming from overshoot and the resultant insecurity

It’s a vestige of our culture war, where the sanctimonious blame individuals for behaviors that were normal in the recent past, heralding a couple data points as supreme truth, while ignoring their own hypocrisies. In my opinion, if we are so overpopulated with cats and dogs, such that they cannot roam, people should not have cats or dogs. I’d argue that keeping a cat or dog locked up also makes one an asshole.

The road to extinction is pretty well set, so I don’t see the sense in casting ire upon understandable behaviors. Might as well try to get along on the descent, though I get why such a large subset of the population are salty. For the record, I don’t have a pet, because: overshoot.

4/5g card in mPCIE slot until I source a more portable device to do phone things. Yes, there are m.2 options as well. If the supply chain eventually dries up, for expansion cards and/or FOSS phones, then I’ll only communicate via my ISP or local mesh nets, until my computers break.

Off with your head!

Steam controller plus ‘sc-controller’ for linux. It supports other controllers too. There may be an android fork out there.

I also use it for most steam games, as I abhor steam input. I always launch steam with --nojoy.

Love it. Those hypocritical fucks will rue the day they fuck with Tux.

Do you know what would dry up those tears? A Copilot, to help you navigate your digital needs. Now, click this button, grant us root, and never worry again!

mpd and wireguard do the trick for me, but I’m a simple man with a nice uplink.

These assholes sound like jihadists. I’ll joke about whatever I damn well please. Jokes are not bullets; moral indignation is just self-serving pageantry. Buncha one-dimensional fuckwads they are.

I’ve used them for a few years now using my domain. It’s no nonsense and well structured. Eventually, I’ll just self-host, but this is a good option if you don’t have a reliable means to host or just want to get your feet wet before fully self-hosting. The $20/yr plan has been perfectly adequate for my needs.

Many years ago, I scooped up my lifetime plex sub for I believe $100. But, when plex started pushing their own login portal, I grew wary and bitter. I outright deleted my account shortly thereafter. I more or less respect the hustle but not my cup of tea.

It matters if someone manages to hide an exploit in jellyfin’s codebase, or more likely, a popular plugin. I imagine many folk have permissive outgoing firewall rules, in which case, an exploit could establish connectivity. Whether that eventually leads to privilege escalation on the jellyfin host would depend upon other variables.

edit: I should add that I’ve not used jellyfin and am unfamiliar with how plugins are implemented. I don’t want to speak out of turn, only to suggest, in the abstract, that just because software isn’t exposed to the net, doesn’t mean it cannot harbor exploits that could become problematic. And, plugins are a common vector.

Speaking of calculators on android, I recently found an old silver link cable on ebay, which connects TI calculators to a computer, allowing me to dump the ROM of my old TI89. Loading up that rom in the ‘graph89’ emulator app is an amazing addition to a phone. Blows the socks off any calculator app.

But yes, fossify apps are simple. They do seem to be under active development, so hopefully they shape up nicely in the future.

Heh, praise uBlock. If it didn’t work as well as it does, I’d drop youtube in an instant. Invidious used to be awesome, but it’s so hit-or-miss now that I seldom try it. Youtube isn’t bad without ads, but ads + wading through clickbait bullshit just isn’t worth it.

Nice list. I recently started using Fossify Launcher and have been pretty happy with it. It’s simple but does what I need. Thought I’d mention it as it’s absent from that list.

I bet that’s a delicacy in orca society.

It’s great for trails in America. I’ve used it for years. Offline maps by default and you can easily drop a pin. FYI, in the android build, you drop a pin with a triple touch. It used to be long touch.

Heh. Man, do such posts dominate reddit these days. They can be entertaining on occasion, but god damn are they absolute drivel.

Void. I like xbps, and I prefer distros that make as few assumptions as possible.
