So I’d been considering getting a used smart watch with fitness tracking stuff and audio controls (I listen to audio books at work but have to pause fairly frequently), what should I be looking for to keep my data away from the ghouls? I know about the PineTime, how ready for less techy consumers is that right now?

Maybe look into Bazzite if you get impatient waiting for SteamOS to become more widely available.

'Murica! Fuck yeah!

I supported a war in Iraq because of WMDs and women’s rights. I was also 12 at the time and gullible enough to believe Iraq actually did have WMDs.

Now that I’m older and less gullible, the sense of deja vu is nauseating.

The US congresswoman in question is, of course, Ilhan Omar.

There were still a whole bunch of people who showed up, at least some of the politicians who were supposed to speak at the capitol understandably cancelled though.

JUNE 13TH WOO! 🎂

I lived in that county for a bit, you forgot all of the poor conservatives that live in the swamps there too.

I think you’re right about creating demand for more consumer like support, someone in in another comment chain on this post mentioned several Danish municipalities doing something similar with their schools…

Is there a relevant cert to do this kind of work yet? I think it would be interesting to do Linux tech support. Maybe just find a junk laptop and work my way through the Arch wiki breaking and fixing stuff (since my main Linux distro has been incredibly hands off so far)?

Piefed has community migration tools that Lemmy lacks, by moving to piefed communities got to keep old posts they otherwise wouldn’t have.

Maybe Shaun, the leftist skull on YouTube? I don’t recognize the quote but it seems like something he’d say and based on Lemmy’s politics I’d bet he’s popular here.

I bought a nook simple touch a couple of weeks ago for $20, look into the Phoenix Project for those.

no but I am, lol

At work, but imagine the “I’m in danger” meme with the trans flag on it here.

MN here, yesterday was gross. Today will probably be gross. I’m glad to have some leftover n95 masks for my commute to work.

Someone else in this comment thread claimed it needs internet access, hope you like that dongle life.

Everything I read about shrooms makes me think it’d be a productive experience for me to try them, but it’s something I’d want someone sober around to trip sit for safety, but if I had someone in my life I felt safe being that vulnerable with I’m not sure I’d feel the need to try them as much. Hmm. :/

I will buy a subscription to whatever outlet they work for if they make this happen.

Minnesotans have been joking about joining Canada for decades, but if the US Balkanizes I don’t think it’s an unrealistic outcome.

I’ve read Consider Phlebas, due to either your or another lemmings’ recommendation and it’s very ‘80s sci fi in writing style. I felt it required a bit too much attention for a good audio book at work, but wasn’t really interesting enough to pick up the physical book. Player of Games is supposed to be very different, is it worth giving it a shot or is Iain Banks’ writing just not to my taste?
