I view the two parties as a hammer (republicans) and an anvil (democrats). The hammer actively makes life worse and the anvil is there to support the shape that the US has been hammered into. For one example, look at how the democrats have moved right on immigration and deportation, following the republican lead, over the last several administrations. Don’t vote for the hammer, sure, but the anvil sure as hell isn’t gonna change things back to how they were.

Organic Maps is a good app that also lets you do some editing. I like the interface better than osmand

Good to know! I don’t think I deathgrip them, but I’ll try to be conscious of it on my next ride

Thanks <3

It took roughly 3 hours and the total cost was $250 for:

• New tire (this was already something I needed)
• Bike fit eval
• New stem
• New handlebar
• New brake cable
• New grip tape
• Installation of all the above

Not cheap, but having the mechanic’s expertise was pretty valuable. I could have spent much more time and less money by watching a bunch of youtube videos, buying the parts myself, and figuring it out. But I want to actually ride this spring lol

I haven’t been a mint user for a while, but the fact that the mint folks specifically release MATE/XFCE versions is a good sign that they are tested for compatibility. You can try those versions on liveusb, too.

I’m guessing here, but the “less terminal needed” parts of Mint are probably specific tools and GUI settings managers they have put together to be more user friendly. if you search something like [name of Mint settings manager or tool] XFCE compatible, you’ll likely get an explanation. You might want to check out their Matrix chat room with specific questions: https://app.element.io/#/room/#linuxmint-space:matrix.org

Mint comes with a few desktop environment/window manager options: https://www.linuxmint.com/download_all.php Cinnamon, MATE, and XFCE. It’s also capable of running KDE and basically any other option, you just have to install it in a slightly more manual way.

They will try to fill instances with bots, propaganda accounts, etc. They’ll DDOS them. They’ll try to get them shut down at the hosting level or cut off their donations by having credit card companies blacklist them

Shoot digital, print cheap n small on a canon selphy

Yup, it’s the cylinder shape above the ball

I think mine was gentoo, waaaay back in the day. It didn’t go great lol.

I’m loving opensuse rn though!

It’s a Triumph Gabriele-e. I love this machine.

Yes, I’m much more wary of corporate invasions of privacy than the odd looky-loo peering over my shoulder. There are ways of keeping your data away from prying eyes – see Selfhosted – but the brain-to-hand-to-mechanical machine (or pen) feeling is more satisfying, permanent, and tangible.

I would never trust a billionaire to do anything for us. If he doesn’t just carve out an exception for only people like himself at first, he’ll still lobby to have new restrictions on sharing if they threaten his business model.

It’ll end up being a back-and-forth between him and the IP companies, so if he has enough leverage, they’ll just find a way to give him what he wants without doing so for regular folks.

Mostly, I journal at home on my dining table. But, while I was on a trip recently, I felt the need to journal and of course didn’t have my trusty typewriter with me. Writing on my phone would have been easy, but I felt that, in doing it that way, I would have missed the physicality of doing it on paper.

So I gladly accepted it as an excuse to go to the stationery store and browse the journal options. Given that I tend to like medium- or broad-nib pens – in fact, I’ve recently fallen in love with a stub nib fountain pen – I knew it’d have to be bigger than the pocket-sized options. For my Goldilocks combination of carrying size, size during use on a train or flight, fountain pen compatible paper, and minimalism, I ended up with a Mnemosyne 104. I’ve done one entry in it, but I plan to tear out the page and enter it into my springback binder, with all the looseleaf I usually use with my typewriter, so that it is integrated into my chronological order.

I realized that I didn’t really care if people on public transit next to me were reading what I was writing.

Very cool! For the user scores, are you using monthly active users, total registered users, or something else?

One of those Canon Selphy printers will make small prints fairly cheaply. Not as cheaply as a thermal printer, but it will be a real, full-color print that should last.

Thanks for this list! There are some fun suggestions here that’ll help me get into peertube, but Russel Brand is a conspiracy theorist and far-right pundit, recently charged with rape & sexual assault. Suggesting you delete him from this list.

Pandoc can convert many kinds of files to docx, pdf, and lots of other things. Use the text editor of your choice!

Haha I sympathize. Glad to help!

There’s also this mega list that overall leans libertarian-socialist, but contains authors from many perspectives
