we, as a society, need a number you call in emergencies where someone:

1. hops in a car with purple sirens racing through traffic
2. Has no actual punitive or carceral connections
3. Shows up with the requested cat or dog for you to pet and love on until you feel better

I'm going to toss my 2 cents in the linux suggestion fountain:

If you are moving to linux for the first time, my current recommendation is a Fedora Atomic Desktop spin from ublue. They do updates for you automatically, have great hardware support, and they are really hard to break.

If you want a more Windows like interface: https://getaurora.dev/

If you want a more Mac like interface: https://projectbluefin.io/

If you want it for a gaming system: https://bazzite.gg/

I think we might finally get movement on seriously addressing plastic waste.

They found microplastics in human testes. They disrupt endocrine receptors and reduce sperm count.

my neighbor connected to my bluetooth speaker and started blasting a spanish podcast out of nowhere when I was in a zoom meeting :lmao_raccoon:

The new Beth Gibbons (singer from Portishead) album is really good. I listened to it three or four times over the weekend.

The latest Philosophy Tube episode is good. It has me considering the role of phantasms in modern escapist fascist propaganda again.

Also has me thinking about the power of materialist anti-capitalist propaganda in this moment.

I spent a good few hours a week ago digging into a linux driver for an accelerometer. It isn't detected, and I started playing with the kernel trying to figure out if I could easily patch the driver to work.

Someone in a forum asked about compatibility of the device with linux today, and I told them it's great but the accelerometer isn't detected.

Immediately someone jumped in with the reply: "You just don't know the right thing to install. Prompt ChatGPT and it will tell you." 🙄

is it unethical to use an LLM to generate cease and desist letters to send to AI companies to remove information about or by you?
