For context, the Fifth circuit covers Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana.

On Apple Silicon Macs, you can set up Asahi(Fedora) Linux to dual boot. Or you can you use something like Parallels as a paid alternative to bootcamp.

They literally just answered your question. Rhetorical questions don’t really transfer well online.

No, your not really wrong, it’s just the tone that comes off as blaming others for their failures.

There’s a place for that but it is IMO not really on a public forum. Praise in public and criticize in private is good life advice. Maybe your tone is unintentional due to the nature of internet text communication.

To me, it seems like you could stop and realize that making sound financial decisions isn’t as big of a factor to most people as it is to you. There is more to life than worrying about money.

Corporate media does hyperfocus on that but I don’t think it helps make our (North American) society happy. It distracts us with escapism and temporary happy emotions.

Thanks for sharing, I am seriously considering it. I just have a hard time justifying the purchase to myself. I kinda worry that I am just acting on a somewhat emotional fear of being watched.

That’s an email client. Do you have a email provider you like that is compatible with it?

But to be real, I hate how automatic updates just assumes the newer version will be better than the current. Enshittification is just as real in apps as in web services. And automatic updates help enable Enshittification by making that assumption. Of course, It’s more applicable to the app store or play store than to f-droid.

I like it too. I wish I could compare it to current reddit, but I can only access it through old interface. And the current reddit is is too addicting to me to justify working around it.

I kinda hate that I like the sh version cause it will tempt me to sink time there.

Yeah, I was referring to official forums for technical support or feature requests and the like. I don’t really think that everyday people were usually the ones who setup forums, it is website operators and other techies who set those up. The people who setup an independent forum are not the same people who setup a discord community. Discord has a much lower barrier to entry that usually results in a lower quality information and moderation than a forum would.

I mean, yeah, forums are harder, for sure. $20-35 monthly for a mail provider seems to high to me; I would expect that to be about the yearly cost. But, I don’t really have much experience with an email provider for that use case. Really the problem lies in that a website operator and a community maintainer are 2 very different types of people that rarely intersect.

Discourse is a forum software. Maybe you are mixing it up with something else like disqus?

what might everyday people use to set up forums as relatively easily and cheaply as their Discord servers, and not have them riddled with ads or other clunky elements?

Discourse is a clean open source forum software that is commonly used for application support and well suited for it.

Or if your a real die hard for the fediverse, you could set up a lemmy instance for application support. There’s even a phpBB frontend for an oldschool forum look and feel for it.

Usually everyday people don’t setup forums, that’s the responsibility of the application owner(s) or provider. In this case, the easy option is also the shitty option if measured by discoverability of the content.

Well put.

Motorola’s pretty decent in this respect, ime.

Sure you could easily argue that NH rules that they be first is stupid. And I agree with that, but it is also a bad look to take away that state’s say in the process for that reason. If your state political party said your votes don’t count and we are ignoring them, wouldn’t you get kind of perturbed? The people of NH have little to no say in what their legislature does. It’s not really fair to them that their primary votes don’t count because the DNC said so.

In what way is it unreasonable for a state to set rules for a private organization? Especially one with a huge say in determining who gets into public office.
