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

It’s not private given that they require your phone number to sign up.

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.

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.

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.

SEK. I make 38k a month! Thus, she makes about ~18 times more than me and then a nurse’s salary on top of that.

That’s PostNord for you. Reminder that the CEO earns ~700k a month for doing helpful things like… introducing every other day delivery of post. Hmmm.

I order in my groceries. Got a shrinkwrapped cauliflower, with the green chaff I might add, and a shrinkwrapped courgette. It’s all very strange to me.

Yeah, but at least my veggies come shrinkwrapped so I get to enjoy peeling them twice!

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.

Good. Hating half the population is a pretty extreme take.

This particular tumblr blog’s entire thing is taking poorly cropped tumblr screenshots from Pinterest and reposting them on tumblr.

This. Let’s put the critique where it’s actually warranted. Being weird isn’t hurting anyone.

It’s probably not selfishness, experts say. Even young adults who want children see an increasing number of obstacles.

Well, of course it’s not selfishness. Having children is a purely selfish act, because who else are you reproducing for? You can’t do something for someone that doesn’t exist, and bringing existence to someone who hasn’t asked for it, knowing what the world looks like, doesn’t strike me as a kindness. So who else is benefiting? The capitalist machine?

I regret clicking this thread. So I’ll add to it.

Years ago the apartment complex I was living in was getting renovated. We got these little caravans put up out in the back which we could use as kitchens and bathrooms as ours were getting renovated. The bathroom ones had pump issues, and one day, as I was preparing to get into the shower in this freezing cold caravan (because what better time to do this than in the middle of the winter?), the pump crapped out and the sewage ended up backflowing, regurgitated out of the shower drain.

I did not shower that day.

I mean, inpainting isn’t particularly hard to make use of. There are also tools specifically for the purpose of generating “deepfake” nudes. The barrier for entry is much, much lower.

I disagree. The forum is hosted by Mozilla, they have a duty to ensure it’s handled properly. If they wish to no longer maintain it, fix outstanding privacy issues and archive it.

I guess that tracks. Mozilla doesn’t care about people’s privacy after all.

Given how prominent an ally the U.S. is, the rise of the alt-right and increasingly fascistic tendencies lends a legitimacy to that viewpoint I’d rather not see. I naturally don’t put sole blame on the U.S. for the western sphere leaning more and more fascist, but it’s certainly set a precedent making it easier for others to follow.
