Today 10 years ago I got a Firefox OS phone
  • That's what bugs me about modern phone design, though. They could put Otterbox-type protection right on the phone and that'd be fine for most people. Personally have an S23 and I think it's unnecessarily ugly, thin, and easy to drop, when it's not in a case.

  • Reported UFO sightings. Aliens are very interested in the USA
  • I'll give kind of the opposite story. An Illinois town's PD has made the news at least twice for chasing a UFO. In the 80s they were on some TV special about unexplained events, talking about the time they chased a triangular-shaped UFO for a long time. I remember watching that, and then going to the nearby air base for an air show, complete with a triangular-shaped stealth bomber...

  • neither left nor right rule
  • I feel like my objections to anti-abortion laws are playing out just as I feared. I'm against abortion but I feel like easier access and less stigma around birth control is a big part of preventing abortions. My main objection was I knew right wingers would make no distinctions between any kind of abortions, even to save lives of women. And son of a gun, unfortunately I was right.

  • FYI if you decide to dual boot at some point you can set Windows to use UTC. It's even less intuitive than how systemd can be set to local time.

    Also if you can, if you decide to dual boot I recommend separate drives. Windows has gotten nicer but it still doesn't play well with others because, let's be honestly, most of the time it doesn't have to. So if you run recovery if Windows doesn't boot, it's not unusual for it to nuke EFI like it's still the 90s and Win98 just nuked LILO.

  • *Texas not included
  • Well I don't think he meant anything other than that he probably agrees with the lyrics. Four people wrote the song and he's not one of the songwriters. Also he's not from a small town.

    A Black Man Was Elected Mayor in Rural Alabama, but the White Town Leaders Won’t Let Him Serve
  • What's happened is the US judicial system has decided that if you make a fireman or policeman legally liable, then everyone has to be. Meaning if you see that your neighbor is in an emergency situation, it's not enough to call 911, you have to respond and can be found liable, if emergency responders are.

    It's stupid.

  • Shitty old town starter pack
  • Oh, I don't know. There's lots of towns across the US that only came to be because it was a water stop. And in those towns the tracks still exist and the people living there commute to work.

    The little town I grew up in had a trainyard and that's why it existed. The yard is gone but there's still active train lines going through town.

  • "Yes, do as I say!"
  • Obligatory I use Arch, BTW

    But dependencies for proprietary software are part of why I use the Steam Flatpak. It doesn't matter what other community and AUR packages are installed, the Steam Flatpak is unaffected by that for the most part.

    I really do think something like Flatpak could lead to more Linux adoption. Package management played an important role but sometimes it can be a hindrance IMHO

  • Advertising revenue in Twitter crashes by 50%
  • I was looking at Twitter earlier, and my feed was full of antivaxxers, election deniers, some anti-abortion activist that claims that Planned Parenthood is involved in sex trafficking, and even 9/11 deniers.

    Twitter is a dead man walking

  • What is something really stupid you purchased that turned out far better than expected?
  • Oh, I bought the second one for parts but it turned out to be in better shape than my old one. So I moved a bunch of the parts from the first one over to the second, because neither was working before I did that.
