I always forget to disconnect my headphones from my PC and they drive me nuts trying to reconnect in the living room so I wrote a script to find all audio Bluetooth devices and disconnect them and set up a shortcut on my phone to ssh in and run it it brings me far more joy than it should #linux

question for my #Linux folx... I've done all sorts of Debian - great but suffocating on stable and if I'm gonna run Sid then why not Arch? lol but that wants full upgrades... Flatpak vs Snap?? 🤮 eww my heart says "do containers all the way down"... NixOS? something else? help me

I GOT TO HELP SOMEONE INSTALL ARCH LINUX TODAY!! It's weird how much more joy that brought me than my actual Linux-based job... 🫠 it was a real messy install too. had to modprobe.blacklist amd. there were like 6 drives and partitioning was wack. then hyprland shit the bed trying to launch kitty...

am I missing something or is the complexity of maintaining Kubernetes wildly overblown? I keep hearing you need a whole team for it. but at this point I'm running k3s on my Linux desktop just cuz Docker is kind of obnoxious now I keep wanting to use k8s for smaller projects and I get push back

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

can we even afford to wait 9 months for regime change at this point? I mean, even 9 months is *super* optimistic... about 3 years minimum is more likely

is this chant from a song or was this like, in the moment?? cuz if that's not from a popular song then that's absolutely nuts holy shit

I won't be silent while our friends are gunned down.

Calling it now. This is *it*. This is the beginning of the American Revolution. We won't be silent while our friends are gunned down...

Once again watching this classic. It's practically required reading if you do any B2B services work. youtu.be/jVkLVRt6c1U?...

pretty sure it's new phone time ☹️ suggestions from #Linux geeks? the only things not on the table are Apple and Samsung Pixel seems unfortunately sensible, but I'd love to be convinced I can degoogle and run vanilla Android, or even better something like Plasma Mobile I'm so sick of smartphones..

I want to do horrible things. With Rust

i know a guy but it'll cost us 30 silver

The thing about grief is that you eventually return to ‘normal life,’ but still feel so far from your ‘normal self.’ It’s a terrible feeling. Wanting to be present and enjoy the moment, yet feeling unable to.

God grant me the serenity to accept the bait I cannot resist The courage to resist the bait I can And the terminally onlineness to know the difference

reading a book about china. apparently the government there has sent federal forces into cities, taken shares of major private enterprises, slapped tariffs on industries, and pressured media outlets to fire people they politically disagreed with. didn’t know this.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

is this good

No notes

what's crazy is that if we restrict our sample size to just "the day that Charlie Kirk got shot" it remains true that right-wing extremists commit more violence

Korean networks and dailies have noted that families and friends who greeted the returning workers remarked that they had lost a lot of weight and seemed to have aged. The workers were worried most about a pregnant woman who was detained with them. She got a first class seat on the flight home.

luigi mangione murdered a healthcare executive and opposed "wokeism." i don't know why people insist that killers need some coherent ideology. most people don't even have coherent wardrobes, let alone a coherent worldview.

Charlie Kirk can rest in piss ban me

not that anyone reads my shitposts but I'm tired of repeating: FUCK Charlie Kirk I don't give a fuck that he died I don't care *how* he died political violence is disgustingly common in this godforsaken country and anyone claiming otherwise can eat a bag of dicks this was just a Wednesday fu

charlie kirk being our generation’s franz ferdinand is pretty goddamn funny idc

I have lots to say and I am convincing myself to say as little as possible, but I don't think a society that has been absolutely saturated in unavoidable looping videos of snuff films for a decade is one that can hold. Power will and has coalesced around those who best weaponize the snuff films.

Actually yes

Question: Do you know how many mass shootings there have been in America over the last 10 years? Charlie Kirk: Counting or not counting gang violence? Those were his last words
