“Recently, there were many issues with the X app for GrapheneOS users, and they allege that the new rules are the cause.”

I understand the greater issue at hand here, but why are people using GrapheneOS as a phone OS, but are STILL using X? And why is GrapheneOS using X?

I’m skeptical of this list. I’ve lived in Colorado and Maryland and there is no way Maryland is healthier than Colorado.

That was the intent. Take a look at the judge who made the decision.

Haven’t tested it against meta glasses. Essentially it requires the MAC address of the device and pings the shit out of it. May or may not work against the glasses.

Requires Linux. But a raspberry pi should do the trick.

I was fortunate. I was offered a research position from an EU country so it comes with a work visa.

I am one of the US scientists who is moving to the EU due to the US’s anti science policies. I, of course, cannot speak for all US scientists, but China is an unlikely draw for most of the scientists I know. While the US is descending into fascism, China is already there. I’m not sure how many people I know are eager to live in that type of system in exchange for funding. I know a few who are heading to the EU and Canada. Those who are in dire straights due to funding issues are switching to industry positions or changing fields altogether. People from China or Hong Kong who are in research positions in the US, I would expect are more likely to go to China though.

I agree it won’t happen. But it is a simple solution.

The majority of problems in the US could be fixed with one simple solution: eliminate lobbying completely. I know some small causes would suffer, but it would overwhelmingly be a good thing. The vast majority of people in congress right now are there because money is involved. They are not there to help or represent their district or state or country. They are there to get rich and it works. If there was no money in politics, more of the people trying to get elected would actually represent the people. It wouldn’t solve everything, but it would be a heck of a start.

Did you buy those pants or make them? Where would one buy pants with fire-breathing unicorns on them?

Yea, as the other person mentioned, to my knowledge (which is limited) the video decoding in the browser on Linux tends to be browser and hardware specific. I know it’s gotten easier over the past couple years tho.

It will choose for you, but you can select specific drivers if you’d like. I’ve only had to mess with installing specific drivers on edge cases.

PopOS in my opinion. It (mostly) solves the issue of getting the drivers needed to run GPUs.

Username checks out.

When I was younger I would play golf at my local country club. I wouldn’t have been able to afford a membership but a friend of mine worked the bar/sign in sheet for golf. So when I came in he would pretend I was a member and hand me cart keys to go play. To make amends, I would come in after golfing and have a couple drinks so I could tip my friend. A couple times a week, a state trooper everyone knew would be in there pounding 7 and 7s. He’d had four or five and then take “one for the road”. Always had his cruiser with him. Also New York State.

It’s not a vaccine problem, it’s an education problem. A large portion of Americans are exceptionally gullible to propaganda and Republicans have weaponized it very well. The anti-vax narrative is not present in large portions of the population in other developed nations. We need to look within, not at the solution to disease.

Edit: Unfortunately others are informing me that this is a problem in other countries as well, which is sad. My partners family is from a country in Europe that doesn’t appear to have this issue at scale so I foolishly extrapolated.

I’ve had at least a dozen dreams of trying to text someone during an emergency and I’m unable to do so. I keep fat fingering the buttons and it won’t send.

“On Sunday, while on a hunting safari with us in South Africa’s Limpopo Province, Asher was fatally injured in a sudden and unprovoked attack by an unwounded buffalo. He was tracking it together with one of our professional hunters and one of our trackers. This is a devastating incident, and our hearts go out to his loved ones.”

Go fuck yourself Coenraad and Vermaak Safaris. Unprovoked my ass. You were trying to murder the Buffalo. Also, stop calling this shit hunting. You can’t lead a millionaire douchbag with a gun out into a ranch with a tracker and call him hunter. Are you going to pull the trigger for him too?

“Such tension is especially rife in rural areas, despite the end of the racist system of apartheid more than 30 years ago. Most private farmland remains in the hands of the white minority, while most farm workers are black and poorly paid, fuelling resentment among the black population, while many white farmers complain of high crime rates.”

That last sentence sounds familiar. Gee-whiz, I wonder why the crime rates are so high?

Well the head of the EPA called climate change “a religion” so that ship has sailed for the US.
