If I get attacked by mosquitoes, even just a few bites, I spray down the whole yard and house siding, and then put out traps.

Figure I kill many for each bite I receive.

That reminds me, I have a zapper and a bat house to install.

Mosquitos messes with the wrong ombre.

Private DNS service.

Ya know, some people actually only get on social media for curated news, to have actual conversations with other humans, or to share or seek advice about specific topics.

I spend most my time in tech, old home remodel, and local/hometown forums.

Generally you can just go back out the same way toyu cane in. The gaurds typically have to allow it for safety reasons. The employees generally don’t care. And if they do, reward their efforts with a single finger salute.

Well, it looks fine for web browsing.

Specs sure read like my 2010 PC. If that works for ya, cool … I ain’t even looking at the price though. I’d just as soon plug in my 2004 laptop that’s still running fine on XP & an old version of Ubuntu.

Interesting, but there’s no evidence they are nazi themselves, just that they intentionally disregard whether any of their partners are nazis, and only concern themselves with whether or not any partnership furthers their goal of promoting open source tech.

So their focus is just limited and immature.

They themselves can still do a lot of good, orgs don’t need to be perfect, but I too would expect them to remove support for extremist led project when made aware, as to ensure they weren’t inadvertently supporting extremist views and actions. But I also can’t see punishing them for being politically or socially stupid while otherwise being very tech savvy.

Like we’ve never met a socially awkward tech savvy person before?

The world is mostly a bunch of grey areas: at this point I disapprove of a couple of their actions, but I won’t boycott them outright for their error.

If they started flying nazi flags themselves, well, then, I suppose things would be a bit different.

"The name “Zoox” is a reference to Zooxanthellae, a marine organism that, like the Zoox robotaxi, depends on renewable energy and is able to maintain a symbiotic relationship with organisms in its surrounding habitat.“

Actually kinda cool, but appropriately dumbed down to be usable in modern coversation, “hold on a sec, my Zoox just pulled up.”

Had to look that up… So, it seems to be protopian fiction, typically sci-fi or sci-fantasy, with a cyberpunk type feel?

We need more protopian literature.

Dystopian media tell us what the problems are and shows us why, what their outcomes look like, but there is far less protopian media to tell us what the solutions are or show us how or why they work.

Anyway, good luck on you hunt for a solarpunk community.

Handy, I VPN, but constantly have to use a seperate bypass browser for shopping and any website which forces language by region, which are many.

I’ve even been to some shopping sites with language options at the bottom but that also have endless scroll, so the bottom keeps getting pushed of screen.

There are a few that have an option right up in the corner, but sometimes they’ll only switch language, not region info, so it still shows costs in pesos and $80 shipping to my region.

The internet is 90% trash nowadays.

Hope this fixes that BS.

I don’t know any pirates, but I sure do know a lot of people that share copies of files on the internet.

Yeah, it’s defined as one by the authorities on the subject regardless of the biological characteristics, as it’s defined according to the needs of psychologists to identify and treat dysfunction. Psychologists, especially those that treat patients, are generally not neurologists, or pharmacist, or… So they don’t really care about those details while defining the ‘condition’.

Certainly comparable… Less instances of murder, less direct impact on accused social justice offenders, more impact on fellow victims of accused social justice offender.

Likely not as well thought out action, more emotional reaction.

Certainly comparable.

Women too?

Who needs to be baited to goon?

I run a matte screen protector on my S25. Installed it day one. Matte screens are great!

I was considering a nextpaper or ePaper device when I got the s25, but I wanted something more top of the line, but with a more paper like screen. I found the matte screen protector works great at softening the screen, making it more paper like, but the device isn’t low end, so I can throw anything at it and it just works.

I’ve had some rather disappointing experiences with lower end stuff.

I wanted one for a camper, before they were released, but only if the cab could be opened to the rear…

Wasn’t interested after release though.

Fund tranfering should be a gov service provided at cost and maintained as a partnership between nations to make commerce easy for their citizens.

Profit shouldn’t even be a concern.

She should just donate all the profits going forward, and focus on making sure anything on the platform is legit consensual sex work and not people being forced into it. Not that I think that happens a lot, but she sounds like she’d be up for improving the system to better know for sure, and provide better support and resources for sex workers in general.

Does this mean epubs won’t stop and require a new page to load at the end of chapters / new file segments?

It’s one of my biggest gripes switching from mobi single file ebooks to epub multi-file ebooks.

Should just append the next file and allow the flow to continue.

Been waiting for such a change for epub reading apps for many years.

Update: OMG yes, it works! (Not by default, scroll mode must be opted-in first via 3-dot menu)

Now I can maintain the same scroll while reading habits I do for online content, PDFs, and Mobi files while reading ePubs! Bout damn time!

This is now my default ebook reader everywhere!

Well, it certainly looks like it rained. Where are the missiles? Is that LA?
