… but I’m not here to sympathise with either of them?

I don’t disagree with your assessment per se, but ethics-wise I’m liking Chad, or anywhere else that actively takes in large numbers of immigrants/refugees.

I didn’t come here to criticize most countries like so, but when you hit the nail on the head like that …

That said, there are plenty of people who should be willing to all but sell their souls to get out, if they could only see and acknowlege what’s coming for them. I’m not here to tell anyone besides magats “get out of my country”, but if enough privileged people like me lead by example, maybe more will get the message.

Yes. Theirs remains a country worth defending, from a credible, external threat, and the bulk of the potential victims were both allowed to leave and given reasonable options for places to flee to at the outset.

Personally, I’m more worried about most of my friends and family being coerced/tricked to the wrong side than being victimized - merely being deported as a white person would be a win in this sick, sad, world. The contrast was literally the point of my comment.

I feel like this is more relatable than the reasons my family insists on staying on the US. All any “decent” people’s presence does is “legitimize” the regime and lull the victims and future conscripts into a false sense of security and hope, at this point.

Pink is wypypo

Exactly. If your fucks are being wasted on being un-happy, stopping giving them. Can’t fix a problem with the resources, tools, and/or assistance available to you? Repeat after me: I don’t give a fuck about this right now, what else can I do?

Basically, if the app developers bother to maintain their own repository, there is no reason for other f-droid repositories to waste storage and bandwidth on duplicating them and constantly checking to be sure its the latest versions of those apps that have been copied. This is a feature, not a bug, in systems like f-droid.

That said, f-droid could stand to add a directory for known-good repositories, or listings for apps that pull from such repositories without requiring you or I to manually type in a url or scan a QR code, but end of the day, its free softwaree maintained by volunteers.

Many apps on Linux work the same way; However, in my experience, once you’ve downloaded and installed an application’s .deb, tar.gz, whatever, it will offer to add its repositories to your package manager’s sources, whereas on Android, once you install an .apk, it stays that version until you install a newer version manually or let the Play store or whatever over-write it.

Moreso than idiot though. It’s almost always been considered a swear-word, but if you’re looking for a stricter, smaller set, those go by “cuss-words”.

Even if not a boob guy, or even straight, boobs are often just hillarious.

Sounds like its making no-one all that happy.

Not stepping foot in it again is what she’s trying to do though?

Single smartest decision I’ve ever made was applying my hatred of rushing to my driving habits. I still mostly move with the flow of traffic, the faster lanes even, but when it comes to decisions, its a coin-toss between taking the absolute correct decision or hitting the brakes(brakes will suffice for 95% of decisions, and if not, you’re speeding or following to close). Once stopped at an intersection, there is no reason to proceed until you’re certain you should.

Her father? I agree. She’s the one trying to act responsibly.

The day I stop advocating the potential for violence will be after I have left the US. All the authorities have to do to force unarmed protestors to turn “violent” is corral them into tighter and tighter spaces to where the protestors have no choice but to break windows and such just to have room to breathe.

Unarmed protestors are incapable of standing their ground in any meaningful way to prevent this. “Peaceful” vs “violent” protest is a false dichotomy.

You’re describing the DNC. What’s shown in the pic is, instead, some sort of genuine opposition party at work.

I don’t like people enough to wear a bag.

I feel slightly less idiotic about wanting to buy my own elliptical, rowing machine, and weight set now. At least if I died or got stuck/injured like so, my family would check the garage before it became a days-long problem.

You can find posts you’ve upvoted easilly enough, but if you want to find comments you found useful or whatever, you gotta bookmark/favorite/star them or reply to them.

I think its less a question of the technical feasibility, and more of an issue that we, as users, don’t want more closed-source blobs in our kernels. Meanwhile, the publishers insist that they can’t open-source their anti-cheat code; Their idea being that if we know what’s in it, it will be easier to bypass.

Basically, one distro or a few(at most) may get anti-cheat integrated one day(like, say, SteamOS), but it will likely never be in your standard Linux kernal.

They could go the rought of kernel modules, I would think, but for whatever reason, we’re still having this conversation.
