    I installed it on Ubuntu server on my raspberry pi 4 and it took a couple months to fall over and become useless.

    I've been running their OS since then and it has been absolutely rock solid. It's been 5 or 6 years now, all I do is add more devices occasionally and update it when it occurs to me.

    If you have a life and you don't absolutely love tuning your OS for special purposes in ways that are already solved problems, the hass os image is the way to go.

    From my point of view, the racist food tropes being highlighted here are overtones and not undertones, and fairly obvious ones inside America. Especially provided the specific context of the subject matter.

    If that doesn't resonate with you, you are probably surrounded by exceptionally wonderful people, and I hope this is the case for you.

    The soft landing for the cult exit would probably need to be something like "Trump isn't what he used to be".

    It's the kind of thing that even if it were true, you should just be able to control you actions better. It's really scary that he was (and could be) commander in chief of the US military. Really scary that he would have a hand in diplomacy and foreign policy.

    I'm spitballing for a conversation. I don't think I'm a pivotal strategic player.

    Edit: that said, I do think what you said is certainly worth mention, so I want to get ahead of my defensiveness.

    So to continue, do you think that such a tactic would be valuable for a state funded interest?

    Unfortunately there's no version of politics without gaming. Merit is clearly not enough to win alone, however I do believe all things being equal the participants with stronger merit are more resilient against the games.

    It's kinda like lemmy here, but a little more pain because not only do you have to pick your provider, but you also need to be very mindful of how your key pair is managed. Like... don't just uninstall a client without going through the effort of trusting and verifying a new one first, or you may lose the ability to decrypt a lot of history and also break trust with relationships you have.

    Security first is a major concern in the system, so it doesn't leave a lot to the imagination unfortunately.

    That said, once you convince yourself to set it up, and convince anyone else to do the same, it works pretty nicely. It's like an inner venn diagram of discord, telegram and IRC.

    I'm obviously out of my element, but I hope he's right on this. In my understanding F-16s are new to Ukraine, and I have to imagine there are going to be integration problems. Firing someone who was front and center at experiencing and ideally learning from such a problem seems risky.

    I can't speak to your experience but I've been farting around on the Internet since the mid 90s and I promise nothing ever changes.

    Smaller communities tend to be more concise, that is true.

    But what you have here is the hand you're dealt. Complaining isn't going to change anything any more thank joking. You can be the change you seek here by suggesting a course of action that isn't asking others to suggest a course of action to you. If you're seeking a course of action, you can try asking here.

    But commenters on tech news aren't likely to be expert activists, especially in whatever issue is your top concern.

    My best advice to you is

    • practice acceptance of reality, not as defeat but as the first step to understanding and deciding an action

    • determine how much capacity you, as a person, have to contribute to a cause

    • determine one cause you care about and can be effective at contributing to

    After doing those things, SEEK OUT like minded groups who have leadership and self discipline and are effective.

    Let me reframe my previous comment:

    If you don't want to network in person locally, you will need to find a forum whose sole purpose is activism and direct action.

    It will not be brought to you, and you will not be recruited. You have to actively go seek it out.

    The forum you're on now is called "technology". Similar ones, like "news" or literally any other topic that doesn't solely focus on mobilizing activists will not get you what you're asking for here.

    I appreciate your position. I don't think you're going to start a cultural revolution on any comment section. If you're looking for a place to make real change, you need to network with local communities.

    The the best you'll get for "town square" value from internet forums is the expression of sentiment. People are angry, like you are, and they are using humor to literally reframe the narrative to point out the state's fallacy.

    What are your favorite trade-specific or otherwise niche podcasts that are not necessarily intended for mass consumption?

    I am curious about podcasts with high quality content but that are pretty centered around specific topics like hobbies or particular professions. For example, there are a handful of ham radio podcasts such as Linux In The Ham Shack. Tell me about some podcasts that keep you up in your interests or career that wouldn't make sense to share with most people you know.

    Talk me out of an 18" dishwasher. (or into it)

    I am currently redesigning my kitchen in a 1930's Midwestern USA house. The kitchen has a decent floor area but the floor plan is oddly restrictive. My space next to the sink is such that I can either have a standard 24" dishwasher next to the sink and a slightly weird cabinet adjacent to it, or I could have an 18 inch dishwasher at 45 degrees flanked by two small but reasonably sized cabinet doors (or drawers), although the 45 degree plan would dictate a somewhat shallow custom counter depth on the flanks (like 18-20 inches). I think I would be more proud of the accomplishment of building the angled design, and I think the ergonomics would be optimal. But I'm not sure about the smaller dishwasher. I have never used a smaller one. It seems like it would be enough for my small family and still plenty helpful for gatherings.
