  • I agree about supporting small businesses. There are so many people here who may meaningfully benefit from support while they live under a government thats treating them poorly. There is value in that :). Those folks who prepare those international foods are often immigrants and they could use every bit of support right now.

    Buy the things you’d like to get, ideally from small local folks where you can, otherwise pick up the things you’d like from where you can get them. Sometimes it is easy to suffocate under the weight of wanting to fix, or not be part of the problem, and that is admirable, but it is okay to attend to your wants and needs when you are not doing so destructively. And there are often ways to do so that are entirely complatible with values :)

    I hope you have a lovely time with your family, and that the place you’re living now is treating you well ☺️. Make sure to enjoy it for all us folks still back in America, wishing things were different ❤️





  • While that take is clearly unpopular, kinda the whole western world does. Sometimes we like to pretend its really just the US, and gloss over the fact that european colonialism and imperialism happened.

    Theres a certain brand of racisim that flourishes in places where there is higher racial homogony, and it may be quieter, but it’s very real. You see it in the northern states in the US that are like almost entirely white where people have basically never seen a black person, and you see it plenty in europe.

    The afd exists as a modern day party 😅. If someone said the US has a racism problem no one would reply with “thats a generalization”. Anywhere racism exists has a racism problem. And that certainly doesnt exclude europe.



  • I’m just using fedora with gnome at the moment. And I control it with antimicro x. Though the gnome extension I liked best for typing on screen with the mouse isn’t available on the latest version of gnome. A Bluetooth keyboard would be nice.

    (Technically right now I more often just use it as a second display for my laptop with an HDMI cable running across the living room and don’t bother with the controller, using the trackpad and keyboard. But it was working nice also when I left my laptop plugged in sitting below the TV :)



  • I mean, it feels pretty intentional that the fish team keeps adding syntax compatibility commonly used in bash… 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Which personally as a fish user focused on the user friendliness of fish as an interactive shell, I really appreciate- it being less likely users have to worry about syntax differences while keeping the better scripting language design is really nice.

    Not sure theres any good way to describe what they’ve been doing other than “improving compatibility”. Is that not what theyre doing?





  • I… I think that might not be working on my install… I keep getting out of memory crashes that hang my laptop and I’m not really technical enough to solve it so I’ve just been living with it until I reinstall and try to set everything back up, or distro hop again

    I wonder if I configured something wrong at install or broke it at some point tinkering…
