This shit pisses me off. Fix our damn healthcare system for fuck sakes.
We don't fund the mental health services needed.
We fuck over chronic pain patients treating them like addicts.
Many are disabled on both sides. We expect them to fill out paper work with every "I" dotted and "T" crossed. You screw up once? Now you start over. Many places that could offer real help just won't take state aide because they take forever to pay.
If you do have a job, even below the poverty line but just enough to have insurance, welcome to ridiculous copays and deductibles.
It pains me when I've seen someone making progress with mental or physical therapy as a path to coping but fall due to one paperwork or appointment mistake withdrawing those services without a safety net.
They won't treat the root cause for many by just going single payer and de-privatizing health care. Need something to campaign on to funnel more cash to our military complex.
What is the point of being dismissive of parent's concerns and straight up misrepresenting what they said in the last "quote"?
I'm in favor of making the law gender neutral, and quickly without having answers to all these questions.
Doesn't mean there won't be unintended consequences that aren't worth discussing to get ahead of them.
My gut reaction is if its legal in public does that make it legal in the media? Will publishers and advertisers use this to further objectify women? Even though I'm asking these questions, I'm 100% in favor of gender neutral laws for media and advertisements.
My off the cuff and likely unrealistic solution that has nothing to do with gender is to just ban most forms of advertising out right. This includes never requiring users to make the "choice" to agree to any ads in the terms of services in order to access goods and services (e.g., gas pumps, accessing a bank account, etc.).

Wording confused me at first glance also. Pretty much flexing he is not as smart as 91.9% of the population.
Correction, cost of goods is what I meant. I'm not going to Walmart just for the WiFi.
My comment was also meant to be sarcastic. Free WiFi while I spend my earnings, which I'd expect prices to reflect the cost of this service, in a giant metal box seems fair to me. Trading privacy as an extra cost I'm not okay with, so I won't use it.
Also, you pay for your cellphone service, right? Are you paying for the wifi in the store? Nooooooo.
Yes? Indirectly its baked into the cost of service.
I have no empathy for most politicians or the harm they have done out of greed.
I'm not in favor of a single individual being judge, jury, and executioner.
Our system for dealing with corruption is insufficient and infected by the corrupt.
Other than some Ghandi-level mass nonviolent resistance, one is likely to just end up on the streets (as designed by the corrupt in question), or the way things are going, soon a wall.
It sucks...
Maybe the kiss-ass management. I either see the idiots touting the company line like its gospel or the ones who just want to get shit done as pissed off as everybody else. I'm sure there are those who abuse WFH, but they are driving all their talent away with these policies.
The useless buildings are probably more to blame. Need them tax breaks to min/max their property investments by pushing the cost of transportation onto the labor class.
And why the fuck are they allowed to be funding our representatives. "Do what we want with the wealth we didn't earn or the bribes stop."
Here's the great thing, their dislike is a feature not a bug!
Last I remember it was based off LTS Ubuntu editions, so it could fall behind. Was awhile ago since I switched, but I remember having issues getting modern Bluetooth devices working. Had to override the kernel and manually download the chipset's firmware files.
Most are crap ad mills anyways trying to game SEO. Only interesting ones I've read in the past couple years are technical deep dives where the creators don't even care to put ads on it.
Good luck if you run a de-googled ROM. I can't install sandboxed Google Play Services inside the profile because its not approved. I could try and sideload it in, but I'd rather just go without.
This is the excuse my employer gave. So I'm to take a pay cut (gas, wear and tear on my vehicle, loss of time to commute) so I can spend more money to prop up other businesses for a tax break that is likely to go into some rich ass C-levels bonus or shareholders pocket for cut costs?
Fuuuck that. Its just another way of picking the labor class clean to the bone.
SSDs are pretty pricey for video. I use HDDs, mirrored. For some uses I put a SSD caching layer on top to speed up frequent R/W. Using only LVM, no fancy RAID hardware or anything.

See if they will implement this? Backed by Apple, Amazon, and Google. HA had support last I checked. They have bridging support also like ZigBee to Matter for Hue bulbs.
I don't watch a ton of video content to know which ones are simply alt clients to the likes of YouTube or actually cache the media. Hopefully there is a cache or mirror that doesn't give these news outlets the views.
