Install Guix
Disagree with the US not being an ethnostate. If you’re not white, then it does feel like an ethnostate. I was born here, but I’ve always been made to feel that this isn’t my country. I’m a guest here. I’m tolerated (in the blue states), but not welcome. I’m constantly getting news that half the country hates people like me and wants me to leave (again, born here!)
But, uh, yeah, if you’re white or white-passing, then yeah, the US is your ethnostate. 👍
Can’t do that anymore
What is “that”? I just bought a Google TV and was able to install Projectivy Launcher fine?
Definitely not WebOS. I have an Nvidia Shield that runs Android TV, which is nice because there’s a wide selection of apps and you can install custom launchers, Tailscale, Jellyfin, SmartTube. The downside, as I recently learned, is that your parents probably will have a harder time switching between the TV’s native OS and the Shield.
So I recently got a Google TV, which is (just?) Android TV, and that allows me to install Tailscale and Jellyfin, but since it’s 1 system, it’s easier for some folks to use. I also installed Projectivy Launcher for my parents to get rid of the default ad-ridden launcher. I haven’t yet had time to try to install SmartTube, but I think I read it’s possible…
Curious to learn more about https://plasma-bigscreen.org/ I didn’t know about that. Thanks!
My migration from 1Password to Bitwarden was both of those things.
Vendor lock in doesn’t mean it’s impossible to move. It means there’s a huge burden to move.
Yeah, not handled well. They’re doing slimy corpo bullshit.
On the other hand, I like that they’re open source and don’t block stuff like vaultwarden.
I hope they can take the extra money and make the product better. Cuz I definitely don’t love Bitwarden, but it’s a better alternative than 1Password.
Yes, it should be Nucleus. Them calling it PiedPiper is a propaganda campaign to try to earn good will from people. Fuck Google locking down Android.
One of the huge benefits of using a third party manager is that your data is more portable! If you wanna use Firefox today, cool. But what if you want to use Safari tomorrow? Or Chrome later? Don’t self vendor lock yourself. I see those built-in OS/browser password managers as traps to prevent you from leaving.
We’re a huge country I guess. I’ve experienced pretty much the exact opposite as you.
- almost everyone I know takes home some portion of their meal from a restaurant. So that single portion is really two, or maybe three.
Most people around me have the waiter take their half-eaten plate away. Apparently, food waste is considered polite or something around me. If you actually try to finish your plate, you get made fun of. (I’ve been made fun of.) I guess it makes you look poor or desperate or starving or something?
- IME people don’t usually have giant portions at home, they sometimes do of course, but things tend to be more sane for home cooked meals for your family. They also tend to be a lot more balanced, with more veg and grain.
The dinner plates my family and my wife’s family (and extended family) have for dinner are quite large and they usually get filled up. Usually meat is the biggest portion of that plate, followed by carbs, and then veggies are the smallest (if present at all). My wife’s family in particular always, always, always, has ice cream or cake or cookies after dinner.
My wife and I use smaller dinner plates, and again, surprise, get made fun of because we’re eating such “tiny” (normal) portions.
Does anyone else get paralyzed on fixing small things because they’re terrified of it becoming a larger thing?
This never occurred to me… I just thought I need to fix this. Shit. Debuff unlocked.
I guess “hire someone” is always an option, but it’s a difficult task sometimes, especially finding someone reliable.
Actually, this is way more annoying to me. I’ve been ripped off/scammed too many times. I hate blindly trusting other people to not screw me over. Just this week my AC mysteriously broke after a recent-ish visit from some HVAC “professional”. I had to call another company cuz this is way more complicated than I can handle (for now…). After talking with the 2nd guy, it seems like the 1st guy didn’t do the maintenance work properly… I tried researching and going with a reputable company, but damn it still feels like a shot in the dark. Completely random chance they may completely break my shit.
Also, for some work, I’ve noticed I do it either at the same standard or better than some of these “professionals”. So. Meh.
Yes, it may take me several weeks to do it, but at least I know I tried to do it right, instead of rushing off to the next job.
squidward opens chair: ooh, AGPLv3, nice
squidward closes chair: sign our CLA
… You know… yeah, that’s true. One of the huge benefits of using some open source library is that you don’t have to maintain it. But if you clean room it, then it’s all on you.
Although, companies like Amazon will have the engineers to maintain it internally. But a lot of other companies won’t.
And then you have the chardet guy: https://github.com/chardet/chardet/issues/327
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fight back? Should we start withholding test suites now? Withhold docs?
Half of the US used to be Mexico, so US Spanish is mostly Mexican Spanish. We don’t use vosotros. My high school Spanish teacher (yes, I took it because it was easy) would always skip conjugations of vosotros entirely.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone use vosotros here. We understand it, but it’s very uncommon. Univisión, Telemundo, Estrella, TeleXitos all mostly use Mexican Spanish. Same goes for the radio.
Apparently you maybe be able to migrate whole communities (and subscribers!?) to Piefed?!

Piefed is part of the fediverse, same as Lemmy. Piefed can talk with Lemmy; Lemmy can talk with Piefed.
Can the spaces/subreddits whatver they are called
They’re called communities or comms.

OpenStreet maps is primarily a data source. I guess you could use the website: https://www.openstreetmap.org/
But they don’t have mobile apps.
Comaps, OSM And, and other apps use OpenStreet maps as their data source, sometimes as their only data source. So if the data isn’t in OpenStreet maps, it’s not gonna be in Comaps. Comaps is basically a frontend for OpenStreet map data.
Careful. I tried doing this once. The company didn’t like it and they ADDITIONALLY charged me a chargeback fee. So not only did I have to pay whatever bogus charge, I also had to pay a chargeback fee. :(
Maybe I could have taken them to small claims court but … eh … that seemed like too much work.
OP, try PieFed! https://piefed.social/auth/register It’s actually pretty good. I’m surprised more people aren’t connecting to the Fediverse via PieFed. I recently jumped from Lemmy and PieFed.
And because this isn’t some corporate hellhole, you don’t get cutoff from Lemmy. Yay ActivityPub!
