Well, this thread has strengthened my desire to adopt a teen from foster care. I technically have/had a family but they were more like roommates than parents. Left at 18 and never looked back. Had my share of lonely holidays that I would dread when they came around. I'm not trying to say I've had the same story as those here, but I get some parts of it really well. I'm finally at a place where maybe I can prevent that from happening to someone else.

This is the first I'm hearing of this author, but seems like it: wiki

I vaguely remember it being put on hold for some alignment with European privacy laws or something along those lines.

English is a descriptive language instead of prescriptive, so make it happen!

You're not alone. I tried reading them and the premise was something I could get behind but the way it was written drove me crazy. I agree that if they had a better translator to make it sound more native English, I probably would have been fine with it. Bit as it stands it sounded very Chinese still. I'm hoping the show will solve that problem for us.

I would check out tutorials or YouTube videos. Try: https://drfrankenstein.co.uk/sabnzbd-in-container-manager-on-a-synology-nas/

Yeah, given my druthers I'd rather summer time, but that seems unlikely happen any time soon. So honestly, I'll be happy if we no longer have to change clocks twice a year regardless of which we align with.

Oregon Senate just passed that bill. Here's hoping.

That was my thought when they said X identified as conservative, Y liberal, the rest moderate or unsure.

How about none of the above since they're all right of center?

Because our whole government operates as if this still the 1800s and the only thing holding us together is the Pony Express.

It would appear so: https://blog.elementary.io/updates-for-february-2024/

That's a privilege reserved only for Rene Magritte.

If you want to dip your toes, go with something easy. Pop_os or Linux Mint are the two most often suggested. Lesser offered but with a Mac OS feel is Elementary.

But the the rich people's yacht money economy is doing well!

I think your answer also explains why they're so angry about white people no longer being the majority. They're scared they'll be treated how they've been treating everyone else.

Why hasn't anyone brought back an e-ink watch? Best watch ever.

Oh man, I clicked that link really hoping you were going to link to a Dyson Sphere.

That's why I loved StumbleUpon when it first came out. I discovered so many cool niche things that way.

And then we block that instance! Or it gets defederated.

Welcome! Don't be surprised if you feel the need to try out all the distros!

Yeah, I was doing pretty much all that with trakt already, but wasn't sure if I was missing anything. I do like the ability to hide shows though.

I didn't know about showly and gave it a try, syncing it to trak.tv. What does this get me that I don't get through trakt.tv by itself? What am I missing?

I feel like these people could read and understand the Satanic Temples tenets and still try to blow something up.

Except "woman, man, person, TV, camera" isn't in the Bible, so he was all out of space to learn anything else.

Same when I was living in Spain. It was so quick and easy, I almost never needed assistance. There was a noticeable difference when ingot back to the States.

Pop_os is a good choice. It's a solid distro and a good introduction to Linux. You can distro hop later, start with something easy for now. I installed it as a dual boot in case I needed Windows for something, but this is the first distro I haven't felt the need to switch back.

But that might hurt the feelings of the sacred demographic: old white men!

Started in college with Mandrake Linux. Used it off and on over the years, though I kept switching back. I recently settled on Pop_OS. Part of what kept me switching back was not having the time to tinker with it. Now that it mostly works, it's become my daily driver.

What do you do about phone contacts? Since android phones seem to link them automatically, I haven't tried too hard to get away from contacts. The other two I've managed to do away with.

If you participate in insurrection, you are not allowed to hold any office in the United States… except the highest apparently.

Interesting. With it being powered by Android, can you install anything from the Play store or are you limited? I imagine you can chat with friends via non-SMS means?

For keyboard I'm currently using OpenBoard and ThumbKey, the latter obviously not for everyone.

Adding to your list:

• Droidify
• Trail Sense
• NewPipe
• Logseq
• Syncthing
• Coffee
• Element
• Cryptomator
• VLC
• Geometric Weather
• Termux
• Noteless
• StreetComplete
• Translate You

I'm late, but I have Obsidian set up with Syncthing and it works flawlessly. I adore Syncthing and would be lost without it!

Depending on your note taking needs, if Obsidian is too much, you could do the same with Notable/Noteless and Syncthing.

It depends on your bowel movements and how much fiber you eat. I still have to wipe a little after the water, but far less than without. Others, drying is enough.

After using one for a while now, it seems so uncivilized not using one now.

Rafael 'Ted' Cruz is still on his crusade against preferred names. Unironically, it seems.

"Apparently my husband Kevin has invited you all to my party. There's very little street parking. No gifts. No singing of Happy Birthday. It should be fun."

"The futility of lighting candles only to blow them out immediately is just one reason I find children's birthday parties impractical."
