It was one of those tiny toy ones. Yeah, definitely still a dumb idea. Not condoning it or recommending it ever. It was just a dumb internet argument, but I second guessed myself, because people were insistent that it would still reach the plane

Oh yeah, I actually have a very simple bash script that includes apt upgrade -y (sketchy I know lol). But apt update just updates the sources so doesn’t require the -y as far as I know

Am I alone in thinking they have to be feds or bots or something? I’m not trying to be paranoid, but it’s just weird. They all have similar typing styles and talking points. And especially on the posts complaining about “tankies”, they literally make up outlandish shit about ML’s and when someone corrects them they completely ignore it and downvote. Granted I don’t talk about politics irl much but I’ve never met a real person that actually acts like that.

Why the -y after apt update? I’ve never had to do that on mint

Haven’t thought about The Oatmeal in like 10 years! Completely forgot about it. Thanks for posting

I love 2 button nav. Best of both worlds. It’s really a shame they took it away, even custom roms are dropping it. I don’t like full gesture nav and 3 button just doesn’t hit the same for me.

I very rarely see this mentioned online, but there are backdoors literally built into the hardware of electronic devices.

I personally don’t have a good time with psychedelics. But I do enjoy reading the trip reports section. Basically people describe their trips on all sorts of different drugs. It also functions as a time capsule, there’s posts from like 2003 on there lol

Another relic from the past. Haven’t visited it in forever but the name is apt. looks like this one got taken down within the last couple years. Archive.org might have copies

I’m far from an expert. But I think an advantage of Flatpak is in the case of different programs needing different versions of the same dependency. Flatpak keeps them sandboxed from eachother. And from your system. So if for example a program depends on Python 2, but your distro depends on python 3, you could install the Flatpak and not worry about it. Atleast I think that’s how it works…

Edit: I misread your comment. Lol I see what you’re saying now. My bad

You’re either lying or being purposely obtuse. PRISM??

I’ve been on nights for 4.5 years now. It -can- be tough, but honestly it’s pretty frickin awesome if you follow these rules.

1. Black out curtains in your bedroom. You might have to double or triple them, just make sure there’s not a single drop of light in your bedroom.

2. A box fan. I have a big fan and don’t hear anything when trying to sleep. You can also use white noise videos on YouTube but a fan is definitely more efficient at blocking noise.

3. Don’t drink caffeine after you start your shift. This’ll make it easier to fall asleep after.

4. Keep a consistent sleep schedule even on your days off. Flipping back and forth will absolutely make you miserable! I learned that the hard way.

5. Don’t let people pressure you into doing stuff during your sleeping time just cuz you’re at home. Ive read some horror stories about ppl literally just not understanding that you need to sleep still lol. Do Not Disturb mode is your friend. Or just keeping your cell phone in a different room during sleeping time.

I’m not sure that night shift should make it harder to spend time with family honestly. I guess it depends on your schedule. But, I work 10pm to 6am. I go to bed at 7am or 8am and wake up at 3pm. That’s basically when day shifters usually are at work or school? And then there’s 7 hours to do whatever until I gotta go back to work.

Have you honestly never heard of the NSA leaks?

Absolutely. I was 230 pounds (5’8) when I started riding again. A 30 minute ride was insanely hard on my lungs! (I also vape). Now im down to 162, from counting calories, and can do a 2 hour ride no problem. I don’t even get sore afterwards anymore. But it definitely took a while to get to this point

Grounded is so awesome! I don’t play games very often, but I love the immersion of it.

Haha, it’s an old meme to swap those words.

Seconding this, r/Motorola is still private. Props to them but it sucks for troubleshooting stuff.

Better than Eglin airforce base (kinda)
