  • “blocked”

    Forgot to have a paralegal look into the case of You Can’t Do That v There’s Nothing You Can Do To Stop Me.

  • Yeah I’m FTM (French to Mexican).

  • IIRC they’re also run by anarcho-communists. Some of the few who still support 32-bit hardware. And there are several variations on AntiX/MX including one for music production which is impressive consider the restraints.

  • Have an old ThinkPad that has a first-gen Vulcan GPU, and with Proton Sarek and Bazzite use it for light gaming while away from desktop. Tried several other distros and getting support for old hardware was frustrating but Bazzite worked out of the box.

    Another has Chimera Linux and the setup guide was easy to follow and had a smother time with it than any automated install, which was a surprise as it was really intimidating. It uses replacements for old, slow software and runs lean. Only Wayland, no Xorg. Dinit instead of systemd. BSD userland instead of GNU coreutils (so “doas” instead of “sudo” and such). So lean, fast, responsive even on the older hardware since there’s no legacy overhead.

    Still, YMMV and depending on hardware and goals there are dozens of distros for older hardware to try out. That eLive retrowave one is fun and feels like using an even older laptop and dazzles onlookers but is certainly not going to be to everyone’s taste.

  • May be right. Kinda assume all “livestock” are subjected to this to some degree. “First footage of gas chambers used on former egg-laying hens in factory farms in rural England on a chewsday” seems like a clickbait stretch but I guess if it gets more people to

    then it’s less annoying than usual.

  • Zen is derived from Firefox and someone here recommended it and it’s been nice. Heavily modified UI which differs from mainstream browsers which may or not be for you.

    FireDragon used to be a LibreWolf derivative, now incorporates LW stuff into Floorp with additional tweaks. Found it to be a better experience than LW but YMMV.

    Probably have 8 or so browsers installed to play with but those two get regular usage.

    Nobara has recently switched to a modified Brave for ease of use. Personally will never use it, but passing this along for those who fall under certain use cases.

    Brave has a couple conditions where it works better than Firefox-based or other Chrome-based browsers. Having VRR (variable refresh rate) enabled currently causes crashes when scrolling live video in Firefox-based browsers. Having Hardware Acceleration enabled currently breaks Google Meets in Chromium other than Brave unless you use the flatpak version.

    If using Brave it is recommended to set the following options to disable stuff like crypto and AI (default Nobara settings):

    • “BraveRewardsDisabled”: true,
    • “BraveWalletDisabled”: true,
    • “BraveVPNDisabled”: 1,
    • “BraveAIChatEnabled”: false,
    • “TorDisabled”: true,
    • “DnsOverHttpsMode”: “automatic”

    So until those bugs are fixed upstream, if you use VRR or Google Meets, Brave with the tweaks can offer a better experience. As others recommend, avoid altogether if those do not apply.

  • Bat-toad can fly, hop, swim.

  • Can test the waters with some phrases like “I’m falling for you” or “I feel closer to you each day” and see how that is received. Timing depends on several factors. Knowing someone well is a factor, as before a time of mutual comfort other terms like attraction, crush, infatuation can be more accurate. Can up those above phrases with “I’m falling in love with you” or “I love the time we spend together” to start working the word in.

  • It Is Journalism’s Sacred Duty To Endanger The Lives Of As Many Trans People As Possible

    Good journalism is about asking the tough questions and ignoring the answers you don’t like, then offering misleading evidence in service of preordained editorial conclusions. In our case, endangering trans people is the lodestar that shapes our coverage. Frankly, if our work isn’t putting trans people further at risk of trauma and violence, we consider it a failure.

    For more evidence of our time-honored journalistic commitment to endangering lives, please see our previous coverage of gay people, immigrants, Black people, and women.

    Research shows that trans people are over four times more likely than cisgender people to be the victim of a violent crime. We salute our colleagues across the media who are working tirelessly to make that number even higher.
