Efeso Collins died today. This quote is from his maiden speech in parliament

“It’s hard to be poor, it’s expensive to be poor, and moreover, public discourse is making it socially unacceptable to be poor. Whether it’s bashing on beneficiaries, dragging our feet towards a living wage, throwing shade on school breakfast programmes, or restricting people’s ability to collectively bargain for...

The Gathering was really the spark that make the dance music scene take off in NZ. By around 2000 there were events happening all over the country and there was less need to trek to the middle of nowhere for a festival. The initial enthusiasm and idealism that energised the early days started to fade so money was needed then suddenly it’s a much harder game.

God, this stuff is complex!

Pretty terrible how at the end it is revealed that the govt and industry had completely different ideas about the goal of the partnership, all along.

National wouldn’t have done this. Luxon is a evangelical.

This isn't the end of reddit's enshittification process. They're just getting started.

Lemmy is undergoing explosive growth. Some of the bigger instances are struggling to keep up with demand.

Use https://lemmyverse.net/ to find an alternative instance to join. It really doesn't matter (much) which one you choose as you can subscribe to communities from any instance.

I tried last week and gave up as the docs were no good. But since then they've been updated and are now quite comprehensive!

Have you looked at this? https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/wiki#admin-guide

Motivation is a tricky thing. You need to create it, it's not something anyone has innately.

Something I've been using lately, with good results, is to spend a few minutes at the start of each day reminding myself of the vision I have for my future. I previously collected photos or symbols of those things and spend a few seconds dwelling on each of them and trying to imagine how my life will be better then. Cultivate the dream.

A lot of those things I dream of will take a long time to happen so they need to be broken down into smaller sub-goals. Use chatgpt to help with this?

Once my vision has been refreshed I make a to-do list for the day.

Executive functioning is often hard for people with autism. Some of the techniques that people with ADHD use can be helpful, as they have the same issues. Lots of info on the web out there about this and your public library will have free books on it too.

What disros works on low end, slow, very outdated pc's?

Browser choice is probably going to make just as much difference as distro choice. Modern browsers kinda need at least 1 GB to be usable, ideally more. Depends what you do with it of course.

Try Pale Moon, Falkon and Konqueror.

Blackouts haven’t impacted Reddit's decision, “that’s our business decision, and we’re not undoing that business decision.” (www.theverge.com)

Thousands of Reddit communities are still dark in protest of the API changes that are forcing some third-party developers to shut down their apps. It’s a startling change for many members of the Reddit community, but it’s one that Reddit CEO Steve Huffman tells The Verge that he’s fine with making. Those third-party apps,...

I no longer care if the blackouts change reddit or not. Viva la fediverse!

Misleading headline.

Maximum penalties are only used for the worst possible cases. As far as "fraud" goes, this seems super tame.

Yeah 0.1% would be within some sort of margin of error, surely.

Ubuntu or Mint are among the most noob-friendly.

But probably the biggest impact will be whether you go with Gnome or KDE. KDE is more Windows-like so could be a softer landing.

I've read a lot of stories where installing Linux resulted in less support calls, not more. It depends on how ambitious the user is - if they're mostly just staying in their lane and browsing the web it should be rock solid.

Is installing personal packages with pipx an anti-pattern?

So I made a small little command-line utility for myself just for practice, but I had a hard time figuring out how to actually turn it into something I can just use on the command line with no fuss. It uses a virtual environment as Python packages should, so it needs to be run in that environment and I was having trouble...

This seems ok to me. Over time you might come to regret it if you have many scripts and they want to use different package versions...

Another approach could be to write a shell script which loads the virtual environment and then starts the main script. something like

cd /home/rimu/path_to_my_script/
source venv/bin/activate
python myscript.py

Put your shell script in ~/bin and ensure that ~/bin is in your $PATH.
