I once got called the f-slur for having the audacity to read a book in public, outdoors in front of the library.

Is that the world’s most cursed SEO, or is that repetition something that’s significant to the cult?

Nevermind, I see the “for search engines” now. Missed it in all the nonsense.

This is the first beard I’ve ever seen make someone’s chin look weaker.

Edit: is it accessible without knowing much Japanese?

It is, if you look a few things up, but there’s also a readily available translated “backup copy” floating around.

And iirc the next fedora release will finally unify everything under /usr/bin.

On my current Fedora 40 install /bin is already a symlink to /usr/bin

Lord of the Rings will start entering the public domain in 2044, so all the rights holders are going to squeeze the IP as much as they can over the next twenty years.

The main difference from the film being that the novel isn’t a satire–Heinlein was being sincere.

Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit

RIP Kenny G

That’s actually kinda neat

I don’t mean to be a buzzkill, but you’ll probably have more success if you grow your potatoes in a field instead of the woods.

It’s a good thing we have you around to let us know what all Palestinians think

The Speaker of the House is basically in charge of proceedings in the House of Representatives (the “lower” house of the legislature). No business can get done in the House until one is elected by the representatives. This is the first time in history that a sitting Speaker has been removed from the position in the middle of the term. This is a particularly awkward time since the government will run out of funding in 45 days if Congress does not pass a budget.

This is a result of a growing split between the ultra-far-right and the slightly-less-far-right factions within the Republican party.

If you own a home in the area any equity you have there has probably been made pretty worthless. It would make it pretty hard to move if you couldn’t sell your home to afford another.

This particular trial is for the federal charges in DC.

I just wanted to address a single point from your comment:

Lemmy does not offer end-to-end encryption by default, which means that your messages could be intercepted by someone who is able to access your ISP’s network

If the Lemmy server is using HTTPS, nobody at your ISP or anywhere else between you and the Lemmy server should be able to read your messages (they could see that you are exchanging data with a particular host, but not the contents).

Firefish has some cool features, but every time I opened it on my laptop the fans would immediately spin up to 100%. It’s not exactly lightweight on the client side.
