To clarify, the term news to me translates to an organization whose purpose is to interpret events that could otherwise be better observed by going to primary sources oneself.

I don’t pay attention to news sources.

Ask her what her favorite steam locomotive engine is.

Get upset when she gives the wrong answer.

Erupt into a heated diatribe about the necessity of good boiler design and make sure she knows why she isn’t allowed to be friends with you.

Yell something unintelligible at her son on the way out.

If she still comes back to you later, then you know you’ve found a keeper.

Minimum requirements to run hello world in Java

I meant to, but was rudely interrupted by a skeleton swordsman this morning.

My client is configured to reject all non-encrypted peer connections. It sacrifices some potential seeds but is worth the added defense in depth if ever my VPN fails catastrophically. Openvpn client to an obscure VPN service. All media gets passed through clamAV before being accessed.

While on the hunt for treasure, my browser is configured to send DNS traffic over Tor. All web pages only get to load HTML and images, and they (torrent sites) remain perfectly functional without anything else. DDG search with the old tricks ‘1080p’, ‘full’, ‘HEVC’, ‘x264/x265’, ‘ep0_/se0_’, ‘.mkv’ and so on.

I rotate my treasure chests between ships.

Settings templates with user.js are Firefox’s saving grace.

Best of luck on your 'nix journey.

Web browsers are beginning to feel that way these days.

Routers: anything supported by OpenWRT.

Apparently the ISP modem-routers being supplied these days have virtual assistants embedded (you vill use our spyware and you vill be happy!).

Whole home cleansing. They send a guy out quarterly who assesses each room and blows sage around hot spots. My home isn’t very active but I sleep better at night knowing that there aren’t dark energies in risk corridors.

Horses were domesticated some 6000 years ago. I feel so old!

Wow that’s a lot of effort compared to just blocking CSS and javascript with something like uMatrix.

Nazi: When somebody on lemmy says this, they aren’t talking about literal jackboot historical underlings of Adolf Hitler, but instead referring to anyone who isn’t firmly on the progressive side of the political aisle.

Tankie: I’m still trying to figure this one out. Apparently it’s not referring to tank roles in online games. It supposed to be insulting, despite sounding very laudatory.

I had a Lemmy ambassador knock at my door yesterday

How many girls and boys across the world are literally missing a part of their body because of religious beliefs?

Maybe he just doesn’t want to run DRM in his browser.

Maybe he wanted use a a least-friction streaming option.

Maybe he doesn’t want the NFL to correlate and data broker his viewing activity.

Maybe he has some ethical qualm with the NFL or their streaming infrastructure choice.

Maybe “It’s Free, it’s for Me” was meant as in liberty and not price.

If the stereotype is to be believed, why is this, do you think? Why would Linux and open source software attract such a disproportionately high number of transfrem individuals?

And would it be causative or is it or non-causative?
