Just keep “hollywood” running in another terminal at all times.

Install and run “btop”.

You could scroll down to the screenshots on the GitHub page, but I had a friend recommend btop to me and seeing it for the first time running on my own machine was an experience. Highly recommend.

10 year old bug?

What are they talking about, that bug report is from 2014‽

… Fuck

“I was referring to open book reader…”

The lack of capitalization, and the project name that could just as easily be a descriptor, made me miss it at first too.

"The Open Book is my long-standing attempt to design a comprehensible and accessible e-book reader that you can build yourself (or at least have manufactured affordably). The current edition is something I’m calling the “Abridged” or “Developer Preview” edition. It’s designed to be incredibly simple: there are 7 through-hole and 14 surface mount components, nearly all in a chunky 1206 package that’s easy to hand solder. The tradeoff is that it has no LiPo charging circuit; instead it uses AAA batteries, making it a bit more chunky than previous versions of the book.

The goal with this version is to get hardware in hands so we can start hacking on firmware."

So:

• This is a hobby / project of love
• The current focus is on hardware

I’m sure that the eventual plan is to support ePub.

I’m not sure it will ever get there, because it’s not a well resourced project, but I personally don’t like criticizing one person’s efforts, which they are making freely available.

One key problem with forced arbitration clauses is that company chooses and pays the “neutral” arbiter, who is inevitably biased against the consumer.

As a disabled person, I’m asking you to please find a better metaphor for conservatism than disability.

Also, most disabled people don’t want to “overcome” their disability. They (we) want basic human rights and accommodations.

You know what’s easy though?

Not bypassing congress to sell arms to a country specifically for genocide. (Biden and Israel)

Democrats will break rules / norms, it’s just almost never for causes that help people.

He could have simply not done anything, and it would have been better.

If “Don’t go out of your way to support genocide.” is asking too much, then don’t be surprised when people aren’t excited to vote for your candidate.

Or you can recruit heavily in areas where folks are disadvantaged and have few options, dangling education in front of them in exchange for being willing to kill or die for you.

This is absolutely what we do in the U.S. and it’s abhorrent.

I guess what I want is for nobody to be so desperate for their basic needs that they feel compelled to kill and die in war.

And if we had a country that cared for all of its citizens and didn’t start wars of aggression, maybe more people would want to enlist as they have real values to protect and have a reasonable expectation that they won’t be committing atrocities?

Honestly not a criticism of you or your comment. Lot’s of people are advocating for the same thing; You just said it plainly.

…Anyway, this is all terrible and we absolutely can do better, starting with building community locally, mutual aid, protesting, and listening to marginalized and oppressed people’s.

Why do you have “Stormfront” under the parody Wikipedia globe?

(Literally just asking for clarification. It’s not obvious to me and I’d like to understand your intent.)

It the implication that Wikipedia is as bad as the infamous neo-nazi website Stormfront?

She works in “criminal justice” for the U.S. military.

You can be pedantic about the ‘C’ in ACAB applying, but the Bastard bit inescapably applies.

No single person should be your moral barometer.

Stanning is bad.

(I also appreciate everything I’ve heard of Greta Thunberg saying and doing.)

A concrete example of this is doctors and hospitals creating guidelines about how to triage care when ICUs were/are full because of unmitigated spread of COVID.

It is definitely an “interesting” phylisophical question to ask:

“If a long term ventilator user comes into the ICU, with the ventilator they own and brought from home, and they are less likely to survive than an otherwise healthy young man who needs a respirator due to COVID infection, is the morally best choice to steal the disabled person’s ventilator (killing them) and use it to save the young man’s life?”

The policy question that should be asked instead, and never really ways, is “How do we make sure that we never get to the point where we have so many people in the ICU from a preventable disease that we run out of respirators and need to start choosing who to let die?”

This is not just a hypothetical question:

https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/long-term-ventilator-users-lose-bid-revive-suit-over-ny-emergency-guidelines-2022-11-23/

Disabled people continue to plead with us for the bare minimum, like requiring doctors who work with immunocompromised patients to wear N95 respirators while treating those patients.

We continue to chose to stack more people on both sets of tracks instead.

I agree with everything you said in your comment, but it seems like an odd response to this particular meme.

In this meme we have the same person saying two things:

1. You can’t use Norway as an example of Socialism being successful because it’s not really socialism.

2. We can’t have social safety nets in our country (probably the U.S. in this case) because that would be socialism, and socialism doesn’t work.

That person is not interested in helping reduce exploitation and preventing needless suffering.

That person is not arguing in good faith.

Please be sure to check that the smart switches you have space heaters plugged into are rated for that many amps.

This is a really weird point to argue about.

The comment I was replying to was specifically talking about autism.

" I think that’s the “proper” term. I mean what’s been known as low end autism or asperger)? "

Sounds like the neurodivergence you’re describing is autism, so the preferred term among autistic people (like me) is “autistic”.

USB block devices containing mountable filesystems (on Desktop systems) can generally have those filesystems mounted and files written to them by regular users; But the block device itself stays only root writeable.

So, you need root privileges either way.

(Going from memory, but also decently confident)
