Teach your kid how the world works so they’re prepared for it and don’t go through the same thing. Most of us didn’t have parents that cared enough to bother and it’s a huge advantage to know in advance that everything in this country is predatory and precarious.

They’ll turn him into an animatronic corpse before they let him die in office

You didn’t do that a couple of years ago when Musk decided to push his own posts and right wing content to the top of everyone’s feed? I dropped twatter that same day.

Mastodon works well, tell your twatter refugee friends.

Just like last time

I want to say he’s always tilted in that direction, he was equally unloved as SF’s mayor. He’s old money, he’s always looked out for his caste’s interests.

I read this as preparation for round two of the USA’s China tariff boogaloo

Don’t just look at sdb hits in the log. Open up that entire session in journalctl kernel mode (journalctl -k -bN where N is the session number in session history) and find the context surrounding the drive dropping and reconnecting.

You’ll probably find that something caused a USB bus reset or a similar event before the drive dropped and reconnected. if you find nothing like that try switching power supplies for the HDD and/or switching USB ports until you can move the drive to a different USB root port. Use lsusb -t and swap ports until the drive is attached beneath a different root port. You might have a neighboring USB device attached to the bus that’s causing issues for other devices attached to the same root port (it happens, USB devices or drivers sometimes behave badly.)

Always look at the context of the event when you’re troubleshooting a failure like this, don’t just drill down on the device messages. Most of the time the real cause of the issue preceded the symptom by a bit of time.

~75M people out of ~340M asked for this. That’s like 22% of the population. The rest of us absolutely did not ask for this.

They’re good at representing their constituents all right. Sadly their only constituents are people donating to their campaigns.

Sounds like a libertarian utopia!

I’ve always heard fastmail as the go-to for personal domain email hosting. They’re the go-to for almost everyone I know who doesn’t just setup forwarding to Gmail.

Our legislature passed RCV here in CA and our Dem governor vetoed it. Can’t be electing progressives over more big money neoliberal Dems, gotta keep that voting power bloc intact

I don’t think he’ll care. GameStop has become a pawn shop for children these days, that’s where they make their money.

Yeah 34 was essentially a hit on one particular AIDS foundation in LA that’s politically active. Landlord associations took offense and went after them with 34

As usual voters fell for the packaging rather than actually reading about the effects.

Meritocracy was always a myth spread to allow capital to operate freely. If you failed then it was your fault, nevermind that the deck was stacked heavily against you.

¿Por que no los dos?

The wealthy love periods when our economy collapses, it gives them the opportunity to buy all of the assets from everyone down below for pennies on the dollar. Five years later they’ve made 20x what they spent and can sell that back to the poor schmucks for twice what it’s worth.

Democrats, liberals and progressives quabble over issues that seem more like worrying whether they are wearing the right color shoes.

When the entire upper echelon of the national party is content and happy because they’re suckling from the corporate teat that tends to happen. We’ve tried to run pro working class candidates but the national party absolutely loves to rat fuck them.

They started using stabilizers in cheap ice cream a while back. That helps it have the fluffy texture you expect even though it doesn’t have nearly enough fat to churn up nicely by itself.

Buy expensive ice cream with a higher fat content (more cream content and or egg yolks,) it’s worth the extra money.

Also it helps to bring an insulated freezer bag when you go to the store, the melt and refreeze between the store freezer and home does unpleasant things to ice cream texture. If you’ve ever had icy or hard ice cream it has probably melted at some point during transit before refreezing.

Edit: if you feel like microdosing ice cream facts today here’s a treat from 18y ago: https://archive.ph/2012.09.09-004911/http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/26/dining/26cream.html?_r=1. Cheap ice cream is a pretty heavily engineered food at this point.

The joke’s on us, we’ve been in the dystopic megacorp era since the 00’s.
