I’ve had LMDE on a USB stick for a few months now, waiting for the right time to boot it up on my wife’s PC, and she finally agreed to try it tonight. Cross your fingers, boys; we may soon have another convert.

I’m never gonna own a home, I can’t afford to care for my parents. A nursing home is absolutely out of the question if I’m the one on the hook. It’s hard to imagine it being easier in India with the work conditions and wages there.

Uhhhh… why are we bookmarking instead of downloading in 2024? Fire up yt-dlp and then call it a day.

The FCC said it “voted to end exorbitant phone and video call rates that have burdened incarcerated people and their families for decades. Under the new rules, the cost of a 15-minute phone call will drop to $0.90 from as much as $11.35 in large jails and, in small jails, to $1.35 from $12.10.”

The new rules are expected to take effect in January 2025 for all prisons and for jails with at least 1,000 incarcerated people. The rate caps would take effect in smaller jails in April 2025.

If this doesn’t get reversed somehow, this is going to be such a monumental, positive change for so many families. It’s nice to read about a win sometimes.

Maybe make the cat indoor-only and save on vet bills. And save the animals in your neighborhood.

It’s a fact that cats hunt for fun in addition to sustenance. Since you presumably feed your cat, we can only assume that everything he attacks outdoors is for fun.

“Don’t fight back politically or we’ll kill you.”

Awesome! Totally reasonable and sane thing to say. I’m just hoping my country (Canada) can stay relatively unaffected by the brainrot that led to Project 2025.

I don’t know how resilient we will be against rising fascism considering the high cost of living and the recent grocery price increases.

That’s a common sense gun law if I ever saw one.

Too bad the GOP has no common sense anymore, just slop rhetoric they got from some losers who want little girls to get pregnant.

Many of us at LightBurn are Linux users ourselves, and this decision was made reluctantly, after careful investigation of all possible avenues for continuing Linux support.

If y’all use Linux, then how the fuck do you not know about Flatpak, or even AppImage? Christ.

“We can’t possibly determine the truth in this circumstance because officers of the court and the law both conspired to establish a pre-determined outcome by misusing their authority and resources, so we’ll ensure that you can’t be charged again.”

Maybe cops and lawyers should play by the rules if they want the law to put people in prison.
