This is not misandry, in just the same way as having a woman antagonist in a story is not misogyny. There is no direct or implied generalization here, it just shows a single guy being an asshole. If you feel attacked by this comic, it's time for some serious introspection.

Canada is not geographically eligible to join the EU by definition. The founding treaties would need to be rewritten and re-signed by all parties, which does not seem feasible short-term. The way more likely route is more trade agreements and such, which would indeed be good for everyone

Trying to imagine the poor kids trying to study history 50 years from now. Either half the quotes from him are censored, or we drop the "decency" standards a few notches

The actual answer is "stop supporting US/israeli war effort". The strait is already open for everyone who's not helping the empire bomb Iranian schoolgirls

No, it is definitely not the same app. DAVx5 is for CalDAV, ICSx5 is for webcal, which is what you have.

If you’re running your own system you can change your birthdate to whatever you want since you have access to sudo.

Best part is that you can just not set it at all and then literally nothing changes for you.

Other PRs from this developer which make useradd ask you for your birth date with no way to opt out... Yeah that's bad.

Back in 2019 I was certain that putin only had a couple years left in him. He started stuttering, mixing up words, could barely walk by himself, always looked disoriented etc. And yet a pandemic, war and 7 years later he's still fucking alive and relatively well.

If you have an unlimited budget, you can now extend your life by decades. Honestly trump may actually make it to 100 or something.

The bigger story is that modern western societies still require most people to regularly interact with gasoline or diesel. If you think about it, regularly purchasing and burning toxic, polluting fossil juice just to get around is super fucked up.

Aaaand of course the first two repos on the Explore tab are NixOS-related

No (well, in theory it could work but I didn't manage to set up 81voltd). Regular calls via 3G networks do work.

Well, you have to get one used :) It's like 7 years old now

Yeah sure, this movie with 1.3 rating and 5 (out of 100) metascore, with only 50k ratings, is the #1 movie this week. The algorithm is really transparent and trustworthy, clearly there's no manipulation going on.

This is my daily driver at the moment - X201s modded with a 51nb motherboard with i7-10710u (a.k.a X2100). A lot of geo nerd cred to whomever can guess the location by the mountains :)

I liked posting a picture here so I think I will try to do it weekly :)

This is what the dawn of January 1st 2025 looked like for me. We've slept in my van through the night to get this view. The temperature was about -20℃ but it was worth it in the end.

The flats in the picture is the frozen Lake Paravani and the mountains are the Samsari ridge.

Since today is my first cake day, I've decided it's time to post instead of commenting. This is a picture I took last month on my phone through binoculars. Taken from Gomismta, the mountains you see are the Main Caucasian Ridge.
