It would admittedly be harder in blue states, but reds are a shoe-in for these expected shenanigans. there is also mounting evidence that purple states have already been compromised, leading to bogus counts in 2024.

I’m by no means saying to throw our hands up in despair tho! Just pointing out we need to fight harder than many realize to push for actual fair elections in the future. Resistance is NOT futile!

Doesn’t this timeline inevitably lead to “YOU WILL BE UPGRADED OR YOU WILL BE DELETED” ?

I’ve heard Bazzite mentioned repeatedly as a popular distro for Linux gaming (and I plan to test drive it on my old laptop soneday when I get around to it). My understanding is that it’s a standalone distro you can run locally, same as Debian/Arch/Ubuntu/etc. I suspect the “cloud native” marketing term in this context just means you can run the same image file in a vm, vps, bare metal, whatever.

If I’m dead wrong, hopefully my reply will be sufficiently inflammatory to trigger a correction, lol.

Mainly having issues with Sequoia’s software firewall, but there are other annoyances as well. The latest iOS update all but broke my Mail app too. I’m tolerating the macOS issues for now, but about to replace my iphone with a Pixel running LineageOS. I’ve about had it with the big apple lately.

I have a Brother color laser printer (technically it’s like LED or something? not home, don’t have the exact model handy). It has built in wifi and ethernet for network printing. The wifi isn’t configured, and the ethernet is manually configured with a static IP for my LAN… but no gateway address. This breaks outgoing network connections to the internet (as evidenced by the printer’s inability to check for firmware updates), while behaving otherwise normally for all my LAN devices. I hope this info is useful!

ZeroTier might suit your use case. It’s super easy to setup.

Not your point, but I actually do recommend torrenting linux ISOs… often much faster than direct downloads from the devs’ websites. ;-)

I’m a huge fan of Ubiquiti APs, and run their Unifi controller on a Raspberry Pi. Sadly, their code is proprietary - but it basically just works.

Maybe see if ‘rclone mount’ solves the problem for ya. Rclone can often be a super handy swiss army knife for stuff like this.

Pair it with one of those toilet seat iBooks from the 90s and you’ve really got something!

Oh, Brother.

No seriously, buy Brother printers instead and avoid (at least some of) this enshitification.

Classic 8 bit NES. Save state and upscaling are all great features everyone appreciates, but what I really hated was Nintendo’s hard, square controller! Using a modern, soft rounded controller to replay my classic NES favs is just so much better. And yeah, save game state is a literal game changer, lol.

This exactly. We need to pass ranked choice voting before any third party candidtaes (from either side of the political spectrum) will ever have a chance. Until then, our top priority is keeping the fascist extremists from seizing control, or we may lose our “right” to vote entirely.

Good choices. I too run Librewolf by default, with ungoogled Chromium standing by for the occassional asshat website intentionally designed to work exclusively on Chrome

this is the way

in my opinion, yes.

I run real-time full band rehearsals with jamulus.io for low latency audio, plus any video tool of your choice (with the audio muted). we use muted Jitsi Meet for the video feed, but it really doesn’t matter. it’s all about the Jamulus audio
