I work weekends, so it’s hard for me to attend weekday stuff. But I took off of work on a Saturday to protest, because we need people out there. So I say do it on the weekdays too, and have people call-in to work to go

Peaceful disruption by having mass call-ins on protest days; because it matters and it makes the protests harder to ignore when people aren’t going into work every time a protest happens. Keep it happening, and keep the pressure up. I can’t afford a vacation anyway, so I’ll save my PTO to get out there and call-in to work whenever

My time off is my time off, don’t matter why. I’m calling-in because it’s none of their business. It’s just a “sick day” cause I’m fucking sick (of the atrocities being normalized and the utter disintelligence spreading like wildfire)

Smaller protests are fine, cause people can’t afford to be at every single one. But everyone can afford to be at as many as possible. Than you have a constant force that’s more likely to crest

It’s the surrounding Everglades that becomes the problem. But idk, I don’t think I’d give a fuck vs staying there and dying from West Nile, flooding, heat stroke, hurricane, atrocities, etc… and with 3000 people, you have a much better chance

Well, you just saved me a bunch of time trying to figure out how to auto-update my humble little server. Granted, I only have Plex and Samba Share right now, but I like the principle. Hell, an update once blanked my smb config file for whatever reason

Now auto-backups are another thing; because I would like to use a .tar file, but then it leads me down a rabbit hole because I don’t know how to repair Grub if needed for a restore, or what Grub really even is vs Bios… I’ve just been learning as I go

I’m a few weeks away from getting a couple parts for an upgrade, and then it’ll be some fun. I want to redo it from scratch and maybe set up proxmox and change my file system to zfs, then start looking at docker, figure out Jellyfin and look at some ARR stuff… maybe tailscale or headscale. Idk, it’s just fun cause it’s a hobby. I just haven’t had the storage or ram really, but soon

Damn, I just responded to a comment with the exact same thing. Great minds I guess

Open wide

Thank you! Seems more news oriented, but I’ll take it

Edit:

we don’t have regular discussion posts yet and so it’s mostly news articles

I managed to skim that part, so I guess I restated what you clearly just said… that’s my bad, but still thank you! Now following… guess I’ll repost my meme there for funsies

On-the-fly meme for example

The hospital I’m at has started slowly switching to LibreOffice; if that crossover gets the people here going

for fuck’s *psache

I use it for news, but I mostly see enough news on Lemmy that I don’t have to use it often. I just check it occasionally to see if there’s anything different and to help balance my personal bias a hair

RSS seems to have been dying forever, but still persists. I just use a search engine to find the RSS feed, cause it’s sometimes impossible to find on the website itself

Edit: and also, I use the “Feeder” app to aggregate the RSS feeds

It’s ok, I judge myself too. Continue to judge and boo us, it may give some the extra push to finally quit

Lemmy and RSS feed is all I use. I look at things my wife and 2 others friends will send me on instagram, but I never just scroll through it

That was my exact thinking this morning as well. My state allows concealed carry without a permit, so I could legally go with my carry… but I thought better of it. I didn’t expect any violence where I’m at, and it just seemed like it wasn’t worth the risk, being the cause of more harm than good. It kinda went against the spirit of this protest imo, so I left it at home

Fuck it, I’m not that scared of dying that I gotta go strapped everywhere to feel safe. There’s a time and place for carrying, and the protest wasn’t one of them for me

Nah… SLAMMED

Wonder how much copper is wired up in those things

Sounds close enough to me! I’ll double-check in a few days if I need to, I appreciate your help! Here’s $10, buy yourself a banana

Ask someone else to measure it for me

Fuck that noise, I can’t stand that petty nonsense. If someone’s gonna be snarky to me over something dumb, I like to loud-cap and embarass them. Ya don’t even have to be mean, just direct and blunt

When I’m asked to hold someone’s purse, I don’t hold it in my hand away from me like it’s diseased. I put it on my shoulder like god intended. If someone wants to say something instead of minding their business… I’m going to have a little fun. “THEY’RE TRYING TO STEAL MY PURSE!!! THAT’S NOT YOUR PURSE SIR!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU‽”

Do you have no fear of splinters‽ Cause I know those stairs would give me a splinter just by looking at them wrong

Are you saying you need a friend?
