You’re welcome. I only learned of it myself a few weeks ago.

Please don’t mock her personal tragedeigh.

On a bright note, leopards’ CITES conservation status has been upgraded from VU (vulnerable) to LC (Least Concern).

More typical unnecessary gubbmint regulation keeping down the laser pointer industry!

We already saw the cognitive dissonance of people gurgling the last words “COVID’s a liberal hoax” as they drowned to death on their own bodily fluids filling their lungs. Literally no amount of reality can sway people who just won’t accept it.

“Personally, I’da gone with Tabasco, but if they prefer to sprinkle Sriracha on my face before digging in, I have to respect their decision.”

“I can respectfully disagree with their exact method of eating my face and still support all their goals… of eating my face.”

Algospeak is the use of coded expressions to evade automated moderation algorithms on social media platforms such as TikTok and YouTube. It is used to discuss topics deemed sensitive to moderation algorithms while avoiding penalties such as shadow banning or downranking of content.

IIRC, Chauvin made the plea deal on federal charges so that he would do his time in the relative safety of a federal prison.

Which would mean that if he gets pardoned on federal charges, then he would have to serve out his remaining state time in a state pen… the very thing he wanted to avoid. He would probably be dead in under a month unless he spent the next decade or more in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day (like he did in his pre-trial detention).

Which would be a crying shame, of course…

Thanks for the info.

The legend about the origin of the word sabotage is that French workers being put out of a job by bosses installing new machinery would drop their wooden clogs (called “sabots” in French) into the machinery’s gears, thus damaging it.

For a nanosecond, I somehow understood the headline as “Audio Galaxy Still Accessible”. Which really would be impressive.

I only just realized that my search plugin in qBittorrent isn’t giving me any results from TGx.

1. Buy a share in a publicly-traded insurance company.
2. At a shareholder meeting, ask if the company has factored increased political risk, vandalism, arson, third-party damage from arson, etc into its premium calculations for: Tesla owners; Tesla showrooms; Tesla charging stations; car parks that even have Teslas in them; any other conceivably exposed company or individual.
3. Repeat with every other insurance company.
4. Repeat said concerns in every other possible medium (is there a Lemmy community for insurance actuaries?)
5. Sit back and watch people and businesses scramble to avoid “the Tesla tax” of ever-increasing insurance premiums.

The clue is in the word: drop sabots/clogs into things.

Sabots/clogs are:

• organic
• renewable
• recyclable

And they store, rather than release, carbon. The eco-friendliest sabotage is sabots!

Zen: On one machine, Flatpak. On the other, AppImage through AM. Firefox: Mint-maintained version from Mint repo (deb).

I can’t remember the exact differences between Firefox upstream and Mint version. But I believe Mint began maintaining their own deb at a time when upstream Ubuntu was only offering Firefox as a snap, which Mint is against, and Mozilla hadn’t yet begun offering their own deb repo.

No package for my distro, I “installed” an AppImage with AM (which is also how I discovered it)

I’ve been using the Firefox mod Zen Browser on Linux Mint. When Firefox released an update in February, my Zen had it the next day. People depending on the “official” Firefox were left waiting over a week, with multiple threads in the forums asking “when is it coming?”

Also when I looked into mods updates for a critical security fix in November, practically all the mods had updated within 24 hours of FF’s update. (Exceptions: Midori and Mercury.) https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=2554267&sid=4f140800c5d62939af8e6394514b9aab#p2554267

“Zen is no good if you care about privacy.”

How so?
