A little bit of escapism for today... will NetBSD install on this old Classmate PC?

I have never seen such a thorough roasting of MAGA conservative self-loathing gay homophobes before, these ladies don't hold back!

@mattl I just can't manage to understand why a nation can tolerate having health care linked to employment, it's just so nonsensical.

@georgetakei They sign all their rights away willy nilly. And then bad things happen. There's a lesson to be learned there for everyone.

Israel killed more than 400 people overnight as part of their genocide in Gaza. Absolutely disgusting.

First time I ever get a recall on a vehicle. Also, I'm surprised that anyone out there cares about the safety on a 19 year old car.

I guess since it's so life threatening, I should be thankful that my airbag hasn't killed me yet.
Notice about recall due to life threatening airbag problems.

@vkc I'm counting on it and ready to fight them. I'm not going to spend a single second making things more comfortable for those motherfuckers.

@bkuhn Eep this was from OSI!? Only saw this after my previous response lower in the thread. Well, I guess we all have our theories (and I think some hunches will be spot on)

@bkuhn @purpleidea @conservancy I'm stubborn like this too, and I'm often pleasantly surprised at how quick they go "ok, well then you can just do this then".

Many institutions are opportunistic in how they chip away at people's rights. People shouldn't give in so easily, there is still some choice.

@olasd @cwebber Sorry to crush your hopes, but there's no going back. It's only going to get more complicated from here on, and everyone needs to be aware and do whatever they can to prepare, resist and contribute wherever necessary.

re: Grumbling about Nedbank
@confluency @Zumbador This happened every time I went to FNB. So I was on hold for an hour just glaring at the staff member. Then they moved the phones away to a cubicle like area so you can't glare at staff anymore for not being able to help you. So I just closed my FNB accounts and moved on.

@mntmn I wish I had the capital to help people for things like this!

@Lapizistik Activists should take a leaf out of Steve Biko's page. Go en mass to police stations and demand to be arrested, effectively DoS'ing the police system.

Israel continues their war crimes in Gaza while the world can't be bothered.

It's amazing how your body adjusts to medication. My doctor put me on new blood pressure medication, which works great! And now my brain is like, "Ok! You can now get a lot angrier without popping a vein in your head, let's do this!"

I've now grown strawberries, pomegranate and now my first granadillas are emerging. I'm kind of impressed that it even survives because I never water it and there's a cactus next to it that is literally dying due to lack of water.

@mbanck @credativde Wow that is amazing, this rarely happens! Congratulations, I'm sure there's an interesting story there, hope we get to hear it one day!

@kuulman Both are! And it's humerous because in the old days, The Chromium-BSU game used to be installed via the chromium package. So lots of people who wanted to install the browser ended up with the game. So the game got renamed to chromium-bsu and chromium browser to chromium... but now we have a similar situation with epiphany and epiphany browser, and the game is probably installed more by accident than on purpose (no offense to the game!)

Oops I did it again (if you know, you know)
Picture of Epiphany game icon next to epiphany web browser (gnome-web) icon.  The Epiphany game is often installed by accident when the Epiphany web browser was intended.

@OdyX @jz I don't know yet, I might have to go find some nice cave to live in.
