Now we need to muster all our strength for further reforms that will then generate tangible investment and growth impulses.

A+ at saying a lot of words that only have meaning to a select class and no one else.

Pray harder. Prayers are like bullet proof vests for children. Conservatives have been trying to convince us of this for years.

Omg, I captured a pic of one of ours like this last week. They look so angry when they yawn or when they complain.

You can’t name your kitty based on appearance. I mean, you can. But their name becomes evident as you learn their personality. It was maddening taking around four days to understand the name of one of mine, but it fit perfectly. That’s how you find out their name. They already have that name. You just have to discover it.

Congrats! I you guys have many years of loving friendship. Also, kitty is probably in a state of shock. Kitty deserves some tuna.

Sensible laws? That’s not the world I grew up in. What the hell is happening.

Punish users. That’s the only way they’ll learn.

Yeah, we’re all about to be fucked because so many major players are tied up in this scheme. The bottom is going to fall out and the entire world economy might be affected (USA for sure, cause WE’RE NUMBER ONE).

Set aside additional savings (if you can) to be prepared for a bad time ahead.

I don’t self-host email but I don’t use my own domain to have control over it. Look into FastMail and a custom domain. That’s the happy path.

YES! This was a huge deal that what a lucky mishap rather than a sign of good security.

Btw, Jia Tan is an awesome software dev that you should hire. /s

We’re all completely pwned. That’s the only way to feel ok for me. My info has been compromised tons of times and no one notified me. I just accept it. I practice good security and I know that some of the companies on the other side don’t. I can’t change that.

Have you accepted that you’re gonna die? If yes, you should adopt this attitude. If not, I’m sorry that you’re so afraid of the natural process. Try to be healthy. Try to be secure. Accept that you’re gonna die or get pwned or both. It’s a lot healthier mindset (IMO).

Oh, cool! Red Hat! The people who run a company charging for support. This makes me feel very safe.

Ever since the ssh thing, but especially in the last few months, I really don’t feel safe with anything on the internet.

I’ve owned a few devices like Orange Pi but really more as a curiosity that I never did much with. I have, however, seen discussions suggesting that when you move away from the RasPi ecosystem, support for various tooling gets more complicated because you’re in a much smaller pool of hardware and this makes them more effort to setup. I don’t know the validity of that, but it sounded plausible to me.

Just get a Pi. Just because you don’t need wifi doesn’t mean it won’t potentially be useful down the road.

My partner has started using terminology that I use. I think she genuinely still saw the USA as possibly a good country and now she drops words like “corrupt,” and “fraud,” in places that weren’t previously said when talking about our society.

My hope is that I’m merely providing scaffolding to articulate a thing that is felt but not discussed. I’m pretty sure a lot of USA citizens really need that.

Yes! We should feel bad! Unfortunately, there are people who think what that asshat does is awesome. My mother, who I won’t speak to because two of the ladies in her sons’ lives are now at risk. Fuck these people. They are selfish and frightened and they externalize their fear.

Send it to the admin(s) of the instance. I’m sure they don’t want to host that bullshit.

Ever since IBM / Red Hat ruined CentOS, I’ve been using Debian when I need Linux. Welcome in from the cold. We have hot coco and blankets.

Nope. He had the ability to control her. Nobody can stop our crimes. It’s bad.

Install Fedora in a VM if you can?

This was my first outloud-laugh of the day. I love it.

This is the sort of discrimination I can support. Call the husband when you want some tea.

Oh shit, did he just make me respect him more than I already did?

I literally have to apologize for being white every singe day. At work? Apology. At the store? Apology. With my spouse? Apology.

It’s like a white man in America can’t get a fair shake in America as a white man! /s

Btw, some people are really stupid.
