Of course it was deliberate: Israel wouldn’t have been involved unless it was able to bomb children.

World would be a ‘better place’ if jagoffs like Nigel Farage just keeled over, says me.

I just wrote a bash script copies the relevant files or directories I want to back up from either ~ or ~/.config and places them in a local git directory which I then push to a private repo on Codeberg. Super janky and manual but I update dotfiles so seldom that it works for what I need.

Not Equal Sign

At work I use Edge because my company is balls deep in the Microsoft ecosystem. I tried to use Firefox out of principle but it unfortunately just didn’t play nice with a lot of Sharepoint stuff. And you know what? As far as Chromium-derived browsers it’s not the worst and at least (for now) still supports uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, and YouTube Sponsorblock. It took me a while to disable all of the Copilot/shopping/ads bullshit and pare down the new tab page to just the search bar, but once that was done it’s actually not half bad.

Would I use it at home? Oh hell no, I’m ride or die with Firefox.

I saw some small talk about it, and it really just boiled down to domain verification is great for more tech savvy folks, but trying to get larger accounts (think politicians, celebrities, etc) is a lot harder. Having a visual check, using tools within the app or site, is a lot easier.

And personally I like the idea of verification checks as long as it remains a simple means to do just that: verify the owner of the account. Morons like Musk and his ilk always thought it was a clout thing, and for a small minority that was probably the case, but by and large before he ruined it, it was great.

For basic form filling, the Firefox PDF editor is fine. But sounds like OP’s use case is more advanced than that.

Thanks for sharing this, it actually looks like a fantastic alternative to Adobe Acrobat DC.

Signal is good, but requires phone number

There are ways around that

Gosh, if only we had some sort of deal that resulted in a solid framework that would have prevented Iran from further nuclear weapons development. Maybe something like a Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action?

Master Replicas took over the Eaglemoss stock and they have an XL E for $72.

I hate Bush’s baked beans. They taste… chalky. It’s Van Kamp or nothing in my household.

Cars. Some people like to talk about how sturdy cars used to be, but with all of the advancements in safety, if I were in a head-on collision between an old Plymouth and a Toyota Prius, I’d much rather be in the Prius.

This is almost identical to my Wrapped last year, with the exception of Kow Otani (Gundam Wing OST)

Take a look at Minifree Ltd. For less than USD $500, you can get a decent ThinkPad with Libreboot and your choice of Linux distro (KDE Debian is installed by default).

You could always hop over to https://frame.work and pick up a refurbished Intel mainboard plus an enclosure (or 3D print your own using their plans). You’d just need to get some RAM and a small SSD to run an OS like TrueNAS and you’d be good to go for probably under USD $600.

What about Biden is bad exactly? Yeah, he’s old. Yeah, he has the exact same position on Israel as literally every US president since its inception. But what about Biden makes him not “good” in your eyes?

I support Biden not because he’s an anti-Trump, but because he’s a genuinely good man who gets things done. He knows how to work the system and gets results.

HTC Droid Incredible in July 2010. That phone was a slow piece of shit and I loved it.

If you switch that drop down that says “Korea” to “All regions”, do you get results? I confirmed that if I switch that to Korea it filters out results.

I got my Framework 13 in February 2022 and I love it. I’ll end up getting the AMD mainboard when it becomes more widely available, then take my old mainboard and RAM, put them in an enclosure, and make that my new NAS. Then my current NAS, which is just a Raspberry Pi, I’ll turn that into a PiHole.
