I don't hate Arch. Or Vegan diets. Or Crossfit. Or colleges outside of Boston, either.

But the people...well...

In practical terms, I threw a couple paychecks of USD into EUR when it was $1.11=€1 as a test case for if the Mar a Lago Accord ends up really happening. So late Jan, and ready to move more in 24ish hours if I these fools do more of what they do best. I made like $75 today alone just on the mid-market rate arbitrage.

Y'all, were cooked, but I'll bring beers to the cookout.

My only regret is not buying more Euros at $1.11/€1

Brace yourselves for being told on MSN and Yahoo about the hottest new toy this Xmas! If you don't buy it, you might be arrested for child abuse!

Anyone know what Linux distro? I assume Ubuntu...

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 2 points 41 minutes ago

Yes, from a general misunderstanding of how microwave ovens work, and what "radiation" was during the 1960s and 70s.

The problem with the money problem is the money part. As much as I actually do want to donate to ALL the open source platforms I use, I don't have enough to do that equitably between platforms and even cover processing costs of the payment. 25 services split $100? Why bother?

A foundation with an endowment is actually the solution. The Open Source Foundation (or someone like them) needs to become a neutral arbiter and incubator.

But also - I would, and can, provide labor. I would love to give anything FOSS 20-30 hours a week of my time. But doing what? Should I get a part time job to support 25 FOSS services? Take Fivr gigs and donate it all? Or can I just directly hustle a part time work week somehow?

Rural poor checking in.

I've lived in a camper, and then in the back of a convenience store my patents ran. Eventually upgraded to a doublewide. But I went to a rural school with like 40 kids that were all also poor. One kid and his family were miners living in a series of vans upon blocks by the mine. My best friend and his family lived in a half used rundown motel, the other half too broken down to bother living in. The richest kid was a rancher's family that lived in a barndominium.

So every family on TV was rich to me, but it was TV, so I figured it was all fantasy land anyway. Star Trek wasnt real, either. I had seen a "normal" school before 3rd grade, but by high school and college, people that thought Nickelodeon (which I didn't see until college anyway) shows were relatable at all just seemed like space aliens to me. I was likely more the space alien to them.

"Brad, I saw you cheating on Stacy at the club last night" [your pgp key here]

Sorry if it seemed smug at all. The "My my" was more being happy that the Fdroid app repo is pulling it's weight and a valuable resource that fascists seem to over look.

I do like this a lot.

Since you sort of need to be there with the hat, it makes me wonder of you might get more response and/or geographic spread if you has some sort of leave behind. A sticker, or a card that you can slot in places.

I do think that leaving it as the gpg key is better, not a QR code. It helps ID this for nerds like you and me. I would never scan a wild QR.

Do we even need reports anymore? Or does a bot repost this headline every other week now?
