Thank you for this suggestion, I had never heard of it! I was able to access it via my library, and easily searched up companies with websites, but then it made me manually click which results to download (wouldn't let me export the results as one large file). Keeping it bookmarked though, seems like a great resource for other use cases.

Thank you for recommending kaggle! I found just what I needed there (actually way more data than I needed!). Here's what I went with, if it's useful to anyone else: https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/mfrye0/bigpicture-company-dataset

I realize this is an absolutely unhinged thing to ask for: Can anyone direct me to a large database of company names with websites (just those two columns), ideally 100K rows or more, that I can access for free? Basically this database if it had another column with the company name: https://github.com/cygenta/top10million (but doesn't need to be anywhere near 10 million)

This is a tankie nightmare. I'm a border control agent? And if I fuck up my wages are reduced? Seems like you answered the opposite of my question
I have such a love/hate relationship with Stardew Valley, slightly less so with My Time At Portia (the developers seem to have at least considered wrist strain in the button layout and mechanics). I long for a moneyless, classless game in this genre where the incentives are community thriving, trust, pleasure, and all the other aspects that make life worth worth living outside of capitalism. Does that game exist?

I am grieving hard, and grief includes a lot of different feelings and experiences. Yes, there is depression, but there is also anger and reflection and the chance to find joy amidst the horror. My priorities have changed. I used to want to leave a legacy for the next generation; now I want to live in defiance of the evils that have ravaged our beautiful planet. Fuck billionaires, politicians, and cowardly centrist news outlets. Fuck them in perpetuity, until they rot away in their apocalypse bunkers. I will burn bright and hot to the end--that will be my legacy.

Thank you for this, I've been thinking a lot about this recently. "Pushing" is almost always a violation of consent, unless it's a fun consensual thing like pushing a child on a swing. Applying force to an autonomous creature to make it do something (be that a person or a donkey or whatever) is not something that should be normalized, yet here we are. I think there are times when pushing may be justified under the circumstances (e.g., pushing someone out of the way of a moving vehicle), but there should be a check-in and repair process afterward when that happens.
This is not a consensual world we live in, and we violate our own consent all the time, but I think we can be more accountable to ourselves when we do that. When I push myself to go to work in the morning, I try to check in and remind myself that the entire system of wage slavery is not okay; that we do this to survive, not because it's good or normal. When it comes to things I have more control over, like diet, exercise, socializing, etc., I try to always invite myself to do things, provide the encouragement and support needed to do them, and be understanding about the very real reasons why the invitation sometimes gets declined. Being patient and thoughtful with myself about things is working soooo much better than pushing myself ever did.

Dear Dr. Ghost,
I hope you are enjoying your week so far.
I recently came across your article, Ghost Pals: Assessing Friendliness in Paranormal Entities. I thought it was an interesting and insightful addition to the literature, and I’m wondering if you’d be interested in contributing a paper to an upcoming publication I’m editing?
I’m working with the European Society of Supernatural Oddities to produce a special theme issue of its official journal. The topic is Challenges and Opportunities for Paranormal Research, and I think your work would be a brilliant addition. The journal is open access and has a large readership composed of academic researchers and medical professionals. Hopefully, it would increase the visibility of your research substantially.
Would you be willing to have a quick discussion over email about your research since publishing this paper, or potential ideas for a paper? We still have space for original research, case studies, and review articles.
All the best,
Veronica P. Slugmuffin, Section Editor | Editorial Committee | European Society of Supernatural Oddities | ISSN: 9983-4377 | NLM (PubMed) ID: 134675512

I've been very happy with OpenBoard. Accessing the emoji menu took a little getting used to (you hold down the enter button until it pops up), but it's great overall.
Specifically Paris and London. There are U.S. sports-themed bars in both cities, but with the time difference, the bars will be closed by the times the games start. I'm willing to pay, get a VPN, and/or go to a sketchy streaming site. Any suggestions? Thanks hockey fam!
Does anyone know, or can anyone guess, the business case for predictive text? On phone apps, it is often incredibly difficult to turn off. Why is that, do you think? (The examples I have recent experience with are Facebook and Outlook mobile apps.) I would have thought that, for AI training purposes, they would want humans typing things and not just regurgitating canned responses. But apparently not?
This video documents the recent feats of 15-year-old Tetris master Alex T, and the discoveries players make by pushing the game farther than it has any right to go
Petitions are annoying, but I'm hoping some of us will want to sign this one! The goal is simple: Have the National Hockey League create a solution where the local broadcast announcers of the home team handle the broadcast for every nationally-televised game, such as the Stanley Cup playoffs.
I'm setting up a laptop with Mint (Cinnamon) for a person who needs text-to-speech software. It seems like most of the nice-sounding ones are proprietary. Any recommendations for FOSS alternatives? And any ideas why this is an underdeveloped area for open source?
Someone I am very close to has become increasingly isolated. She doesn't want to do anything except watch "documentaries" like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfzupXBlrIU She doesn't want to socialize, because "no one understands what's really going on." She mentioned recently that she has a Telegram account, so I'm assuming that's where at least some of this garbage is coming from. I'm worried about her. Her life is already hard, and this stuff is making her paranoid and more isolated than she already was. Is there anything that helps bring people out of this?? I have my own radical ideas, but they are about the need to abolish capital and the State. This person has never really responded to leftist politics when I've brought it up, but maybe I need to try again. Any help or advice? I really worry about her.
I'm digging into the world of #FOSS #opensource and would like to help with existing projects. My programming chops are not sharp yet, but I'm a detail-oriented communicator who knows a bit about user testing. How do I find projects on GitHub, GitLab, or other sites that need this kind of help? The machines I would be testing on are a potato desktop running Pop_OS Linux and an Android phone. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Thanks y'all! I got this working by installing [mutt](https://www.tecmint.com/send-mail-from-command-line-using-mutt-command/) and configuring it with my Gmail info. Please note the warning from [u/jherazob](https://beehaw.org/u/jherazob@beehaw.org) below--if this were something mission critical I would not want to rely on this solution. ================ Noob question incoming, thanks in advance for any help with this! I have a specific use case in which I want to send an automated email or text to myself once a day (the message is different each time--otherwise I would just set an alarm, lol!). I'm running Pop_OS on an old desktop computer. Where I'm stuck is getting an email to successfully send from the command line. I'm looking for easy-to-follow instructions that would help me do that, and none of the articles or videos I've come across thus far have helped. I'm aware of Twilio and other services that send SMS messages, but I'm looking for something free. Especially since I only need to text one person (myself), and infrequently at that. Below is my attempt to send an email with the telnet command. Nothing ever came through... ``` XXXXXXXX@pop-os:~$ telnet localhost smtp Trying ::1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 220 pop-os ESMTP Exim 4.95 Ubuntu Sun, 07 Jan 2024 15:12:28 -0500 HELO gmail.com 250 pop-os Hello localhost [::1] mail from: XXXXXXXX@gmail.com 250 OK rcpt to: XXXXXXXX@gmail.com 250 Accepted data 354 Enter message, ending with "." on a line by itself Subject: Test Body: Is this working? . 250 OK id=1rMZW4-0002dj-Uy quit ```
