One big happy family.
  • I really like Tumbleweed. Sure it updates a lot, but it doesn’t force updates so you can take it at your own pace.

    I could do without the AI stuff, Librewolf

    Is Elder Scrolls 6 doomed to fail? I can't see how it will work
  • It wasn't well balanced but it was a good RPG experience. Oblivion had a bunch of elements stripped out, but it was still an RPG, the wonky alphabetical voice acting aside. Skyrim felt like a cookie-cutter action adventure game, all the roleplay had flown out the window.

  • First is financially successful, it generated some decent profits for the stockholders.

    This is the only sort of success they care about. Anything else is secondary. These companies gladly burn bridges with their communities so long as they believe it'll benefit their bottom-line.

    YouTube is limiting videos about weight and appearance for teens
  • Wow. Took them fucking long enough. They’ve been doing that with LGBTQ+ videos for ages already, so it’s not like the tech hasn’t been there. For shame.

    Tucker Carlson accused of airing ‘pro-Nazi propaganda’ on show
  • I mean, Winston Churchill most definitely was a villain. He wasn’t the villain of WWII, but undoubtedly a villain.

    He was intensely racist, had no problem using Indian people in his army while censoring their letters, as a famine he had a hand in creating killed over three million people.

    That’s no excuse for peddling propaganda-Nazi propaganda, though. I thought that was kind of this guy’s shtick?

    TIL that the term "marijuana" has a racist history, and meant to play off of anti-immigrant sentiments.
  • This is an interesting read. English isn't my native language, and while I'm quite proficient, I lack a lot of cultural context, particularly when it comes to American English. My partner is American, and through/with them I've learned a lot of problematic phrases and expressions. It's baffling just how much language is used to dehumanise, other, and discriminate against people.

    That's not to say it doesn't happen in my native tongue, it definitely does, but I guess it's more baffling when it's something that's unfamiliar to you.

    Marijuana obviously sounds like it's rooted in Spanish, but I never thought much about it. If you'd asked me, I'd just wager a guess that it's the Spanish term for it. I hate how oftentimes when I start poking at these preconceived notions, an uglier reality reveals itself. It's never as benign as I initially believe.

    Company creates "solution" to address school "vaping incidents".
  • Wow you unlocked a memory in me. I recall doing something similar but using some send command to do the same with any computer logged in and on the network.

    Week after that I met a dude from municipal school IT support and that’s when I first learned about Linux. He had Red Hat on his laptop and he was happy to talk about it. Very cool dude.

    Can someone give me advice on vacuum cleaners?
  • Aye. I didn’t look deeply into it but it’s nice that it exists.

    Can someone give me advice on vacuum cleaners?
  • I previously had the Roborock S4, and upgraded to a Roborock S8 with the auto-emptying dock last year. I have a husky mix, and so my home gets quite hairy. Having a robot vacuum that can empty itself without me having to really do much is a lifesaver. Roborock also offers spare parts, and you can take these machines apart to fix them, if the need arises; none of my machines have ever broken down though.

    You don't need to connect the robot to the app, but I don't think you get the scheduling functionality without it. You can of course always just press the button to start it manually, and that's what I've been doing most of the time since I want it running when I'm out and that time window tends to shift a bit.

    Yesterday I also learned that there's OSS you can flash onto the machine to decouple it from Xiaomi's stuff, which I think is great.

    Well THAT'S super helpful! 🤦
  • I don’t think she should be earning so much, but varannandagsutdelning does actually make sense with how few letters get sent (even though I’d also prefer daily delivery). But crazy that stamp prices have also basically doubled.

    I think the main issue I have is that this also applies to time critical post, and thus post can arrive too late.

    But just like with so many other public service things and agencies, Sweden is determined to make a paper profit. Vinstkrav. Would be cool if SJ for example was allowed to sell their train tickets for cheaper prices, but nope, they need to make at least 10% profit or something around that.

    When it comes to essential infrastructure it makes no sense to me that they need to operate on a profit.

  • Is your kid in therapy? Because going by what you've said, your partner has been sick and depressed for 40% of your kid's entire lifespan. That's bound to take a toll.

  • Frame it as part of the treatment for MS.

    Solid idea. Though, I feel like this is phrased a bit strangely, because it makes it sound like this is duplicitous. A part of the treatment for any chronic condition would be how to cope with and emotionally process living with it. This is part of the treatment for MS.
