I don't really care enough to spend a lot of time searching, but I found this opinion article breaking down a severe Apple iOS vulnerability from 2019: https://www.tomsguide.com/opinion/your-iphone-is-less-safe-than-it-was-yesterday-and-thats-good
If a device isn't getting security updates anymore, it's vulnerable. And a lot of the time these things aren't caught right away. This is the exact same reason why you should never put a computer running Windows XP or 7 on the internet - it's no longer secure and your system can be accessed by any person motivated to do so.
If you don't care, that's another matter. But you're inarguably at a higher level of risk when your system can be exploited in a greater number of ways than one with more recent security patches.
It's a vulnerability that is actively able to be exploited on any compatible system that isn't explicitly protecting against it (i.e., any outdated phone connected to the internet).
So a very big fucking deal in general, even if your specific phone may not be targeted. Your only defense is hoping that you're not unlucky, which is a really shitty approach to security.
I'd have to agree. I met my wife on OKCupid in 2016 and almost immediately after that it changed several key features and became complete garbage.
Are YouTube shorts still 1 minute maximum? Until that changes, I don't think they'll be a viable replacement since content longer than a minute seems to be the sweet spot for a sizeable amount of Tiktok's user base. Especially when it comes to informative or political content.
I smoke weed and watch TV. I also take Zoloft every day and it works pretty well at minimizing my intrusive thoughts too (which mostly happen at night) so it's like multi-pronged for me.
Idk, if you've been going through this for a while and nothing in this thread works, you could look into antidepressants; you don't have to be on them forever. A lot of the common ones are somewhat affordable without insurance.
I like Debian a lot, and Mint seems fine too, but I don't like the styling, or Cinnamon really. I use Fluxbox (WM only, no DE) with a bunch of tiny customizations.
The main reason I picked it is that I like to tinker and she doesn't, so I think that Cinnamon will be the easiest for her coming from Windows 10.
We both have AMD GPUs (and she has a AMD CPU too) so I haven't had to deal with Nvidia headaches.
I like the glacial updates so things don't break as easily. I don't want to spend hours fixing a system (hers or mine tbh) unless I have to. For anything that I need the latest features for, there's usually a repo I can add to Aptitude or a Flatpak.
I've had LMDE on a USB stick for a few months now, waiting for the right time to boot it up on my wife's PC, and she finally agreed to try it tonight. Cross your fingers, boys; we may soon have another convert.
SCOTUS: "Good news, everyone! We figured out how to keep up the prison population amid record low crime rates so you won't have to pay minimum wage, isn't that great?"
If you're going to speak for all conservatives, you're also going to take responsibility for all of their beliefs and decision-making, like the desire to outlaw contraceptives. If you don't want that, don't speak for others.
It's exceptionally difficult already for a woman to get sterilized. The decider may be whether sterilization has the same stigma/religious fervor around it that abortion has in that people will willingly waste their weekends off protesting against it.
I'm optimistic, but America likes to disappoint me.
I'm not streaming it, it's on my media server, so there are no ads. I don't pay for any services except Shudder because it's still cheap and niche.
Same, been watching Dead Like Me and Xena: Warrior Princess and it's pretty distracting when it happens.
Why not try running your own local instance of Nitter? No Nazis that way. I would if I used Twitter more.
My school had WordPerfect on every computer in like, 2013. I had to install AbiWord Portable on a USB disk just so I could work on .doc files without the formatting being royally fucked up.
It's not a fertility issue, it's a fecundity issue. But we tend to use the 2 terms interchangeably.
"Traditionally, trans people have had no explicit rights based on their trans status, and we have to respect the sanctity of that clearly deliberate omission."
Ah, I thought that was largely an Appalachian thing. But I guess that isn't quite the same since I don't think "haw" sounds like "whore" down there.
You could also go with no DE and check out Fluxbox, i3, or sway. There's something about Fluxbox that's still charming all these years later.
