Hillary Clinton attacked young people not once but twice last week— and #Tiktok is now making it their mission to go through her entire history which is “checkered” to say the least. Earth to #Democrats, she is hurting your cause.

Prisoners Sue Alabama, Calling Prison Labor System a ‘Form of Slavery’

The plaintiffs, who are all Black, contend that the state regularly denies incarcerated people parole so that they can be “leased” out to make money for government agencies and businesses.

"...some of the same people who profit from their coerced labor have systematically shut down grants of parole....Defendants include McDonald’s, KFC, Wendy’s and Burger King.”

Falkon Browser Privacy Hardening

I’ve been wanting to use the Falkon browser as my daily driver because I like the integration with the Plasma desktop and it works quite well for most things, but I’ve been hesitant to do so because there are so few extensions and the only privacy-focused one is the AdBlock. I’ve tried using GreaseMonkey scripts, but half...

Someone should do a #DoctorWho title sequence where the top of the TARDIS is at the bottom of the frame the whole time and the music is the Naked Gun theme.

Why wait for Microsoft to catch up with what we've been doing for decades?

Get Plasma, a modern, fully functional, clean, privacy-respecting, non-intrusive operating system now, regardless from where you live and ditch Windows for good.

I wonder what #ardour is doing different to #bitwig in terms of their #flatpak builds. I noticed that some #plugins run just fine in Ardour while Bitwig Studio reports problems with reading metadata or glibc version conflicts. 🙄️ #sandboxing #debugging #daw #linuxdaw

There's an anecdote about Terry Pratchett having a photo of an industrial book shredder over his desk, but Google refuses to find it for me. So I'm throwing this bottle into the ocean with a #discworld tag in, just to see if anyone has a more apt search phrase...

@radiofreefedi It'd be nice if the playlist bot used an appropriate followable hashtag. Mastodon doesn't support lists except those made of people followed, and I can't follow the playlist bot because it swamps my Home column.

How Canadians are hatched:

Eggs are laid in early fall and hatch mid-winter. The pucklings then make their way into the forest to forage for syrup amongst the moose.

Kevin McCarthy giving the nominating speech for Jim Jordan is like making the ex-boyfriend give the wedding toast. And to top it all off, McCarthy comes out and says that Jordan has been an effective legislator—even though he hasn’t passed a single bill into law in his 16 years in Congress. The response? Uproarious laughter from the Democrats. And well-deserved scorn.

This Doonesbury from May 1973 would be hilarious except that I graduated from college 33 years ago and I’m Howie. (Look at how elderly the 20-something Trudeau drew 52-year-olds!) https://www.gocomics.com/doonesbury/1973/05/10

This is one of the images we sent out to space aliens on the Voyager probes to make them afraid of humans and never try to invade Earth.

So far it has been 100% effective.

Whenever I see comments like this about #Wayland I always have to ask, who do you think would be developing this new protocol? Every single #Linux graphics developers agrees that Wayland is where we're going, the problem is nobody agrees on how it should look

Reaper friends: I have a track that I want to lower the volume of gradually, but not to complete silence (roughly 50%). I know about Ctrl+Alt+O, but that fades to complete silence from the cursor to the end of the track. Any suggestions? #Reaper #Osara #Blind #Audio
