This really is the answer. The more services you add, the more of your attention they will require. Granted, for most services already integrated into the distro’s repo, the added admin overhead will likely be minimal, but it can add up. That’s not to say the admin overhead can’t be addressed. That’s why scripting and crons, among some other utilities, exist!
Hence the question! I mean I feel like he had a certain relevance in his prime. Every now and then he pops up shilling for some crazy right-wing cause… or as a Sheriff’s Deputy. Similar to Dr. Phil going out on ICE raids.
I’ve never understood the notion the good “can’t exist” without evil. I think it’s more likely that good can’t be recognized without evil as a basis for comparison. That doesn’t mean good things can’t happen unless there’s evil out there. I think they would just be seen from a different frame of reference.
The death of American democracy!
Does Steven Seagal still fit here?
Dr. Phil?
I don’t, and I use it all the time. That said, I try to be mindful of context. For example, if I’m going to a party and someone texts saying to grab ice or something: 👍
Conversely, if someone is texting to say their dog died, or congratularions of a big achievement: !👍
Let’s see. The roof replacement that’s currently going on at my house is a mess because there are 2 project managers, each speaking different languages. I dumbly scratched my forehead such that everyone I see this week has said, “Ooh what happened there!?” Yesterday, after a shit week so far, wife and I went to have a margarita. I walked into her on the way to our table and removed about ⅓ of my big toenail.
So… not great.
Imagine playing this game in VR. How quickly would you throw up?
I read this and I hear my dad bitching about how RNA vaccines “haven’t really been tested on anyone!”
Also saw Reacher started a new season. I’m debating it, because I was not impressed with how the last season ended. I’ve read all the books and I think they really went overboard at the end of season 2. It’s too bad because the first season was perfect, IMO.
Something about his hair in the show and I guess lighting and makeup makes him look really different to me.
The new season has been pretty good, except for the one where they went to the Iron forge. That one seemed kind of all over the place. Only real low point in the whole show for me so far.
It was enjoyable, but he became insufferable about half to ⅔ of the way through. Didn’t realize there would be a season2, but it makes sense.
I have to swap out 2 hard drives. One in a new Mac Mini for my wife, and another for a 2013 iMac that I’m seeing if I can use for a Linux desktop.
Watched Bad Monkey. I’ve enjoyed Carl Hiaasen books in the past, and this is has that vibe. A little too much Vince Vaughn, though.
It’s actually a very simple ploy they’ve used since before I was born (I’m not young). Anything they can paint as sexual, or that actually is out of the sexual “norm,” they will use as a scapegoat. They used it against blacks (coming after their white women), gays, and now trans. Pedophilia and rape are the two Worst Things, and if they can tie the Bad Guy du jour, that equals fear-votes. The best kind of right wing votes in all the land.
This is the answer.
Forgot to add that I’m not saying Lemmy is perfect as is. For sure there are things that can be improved and tweaked. And by all means, people who want to contribute should be encouraged and applauded. I’m just saying that the community that’s grown here is pretty great, and growth coming from slow-ish trickle of new users probably wouldn’t threaten that. Right now, Lemmy has a good late-90s, early 00s community feeling, and I really enjoy it.
Hegseth’s already talking to his lawyer about leaving his wife! That Nicole chick is bangin! 🔥🇺🇸👊
