I played around with old iPads for a bit and then gave up. successful vendor lock for sure. I just wanted a home assistant front end without having to sign in to apple or use safari

“somebody get this freaking duck away from me”

the best thing Ive seen created wth word2vec is semantle/pimantle

you didnt read my comment in the way it was intended:

everyone involved here- the doctors, the patients, the state medical board- everyone wants doctors acting in accordance with the oath they took. these doctors, while legitimately afraid of running afoul of the law, may have intentionally failed to help this woman out of that fear, and if they could have helped her, should have. the fact that “this law” exists is a question for another time and place, after she has received appropriate care.

if this law then causes a disciplinary hearing, thats how uts supposed to happen. the law can be brought into question. human beings with the requisite skills and experience to pass judgement on proper medical procedures can be consulted.

sorry, but people dont get to pass laws that cause doctors to withhold care out of fear, laws they only passed out of their beliefs surrounding conception and birth. if those doctors werent going to save that woman, who was? wasnt that literally what they swore to do? what they got that license from texas for?

you break the unjust laws. thats how it works.

im tired of oh standing up is hard

tell it to that womans family

ed to add: theres enough ire to go around. many people fucked up and they all share the blame

with matter devices, you can possibly do some fun networking, and block them from reaching the outside world completely. then you just need to trust your firewall

consequences for breaking an oath

arbitrary punishment

not the same thing

or would you rather to continue to let policy dictate standard of care? the law is wrong, and if a doctor isnt going to break it to do the right thing, they shouldnt be a doctor anymore

yay i dont come off as old, and cold, and settled in my ways

\o/

oh shit wait you just mean you think Im immature

:P

sometimes their opinions are stupid. it’s a word. peoplr use it to mean “stuff” - if youre gonna omgwtfbbq over vulgarity in this world, in this time, just go clutch your pearls somewhere else and leave the world for those of us who worry about crap worth worrying about

no, really. next youre gonna tell me my tattoos need to be covered at work, too! die off, old generation- nobody cares about that shit anymore. have an opinion worth a damn? ok! but i dont have time for gaspers and groaners worrying about thr most inane fucking nonsense

the world is fucking burning but, sure watch your language because peoples feels

if you look at the entirety of human history, since WWII is a blink of an eye

fight complacency.

“bombshell”

shut the fuck up already.

I try to be good about everything being installed in packages, even if Im the one that made the package. that means I only have to worry about backing up my local package archive. but Ive never actualy recreated a personal system from a backup, and usually end up starting from a fresh install, slowly adding back things from the backup if I missed them. this tends to cut down on cruft and no longer needed hacks and fixes. also makes for a good way to be exposed to new paradigms (desktop environments, shells, etc)

something that helps is daily notes. one file for any day Im working on my system and want to remember what a custom file, confg edit, or downloaded/created package does and why. these get saved separately and I try to remember to grep them before asking the internet

i see the benefit to snapshots, but disk space is expensive, and Im (usually) careful (enough) not to lock myself out or prevent boots. anything catastophic I have to fix is usually seen as a fun, stressful learning experience! that rarely happens anymore, for better or for worse

Im gonna need some concept art first. for research puposes

I like to think collectively, as a whole, we want to?

Im guilty of giving up sometimes.

I could do more.

…thank whatever Im not an alcoholic, because I figure this is how you start

lets just sa theyve done a good job of creating an atmosphere where a lot of us who really, really want to do more feel slapped down before we even get started

:shrug:

oh how nice it would be to see the world unite as one just to take us (the USA) down a peg. I feel like russia and china are really dropping the ball lately

oh, wait lol theyre also run by egomaniacal baffoons :shrug:

“go ahead, throw your vote away!”

shoutout to USAA banking app that detected my root, but just showed a warning and allowed me to continue. that’s how it ahould be imho

“don’t feed the trolls” is all that comes to mind

because workers don’t collectively own the means of production.

not to be like that, but once some new hotness graduates from 2 people in a garage, the controlling interest is never the workers who have a vested interest in products, daily work (and a brand) they can be proud of, but investors with only short term profit on their mind. innovators- and inventors-turned-C suite executives jump ship when bought out, leaving the real meat and potatoes, the real work behind the brand, to be offshored, profit prioritized and picked clean.

buy from worker-owned co-ops. buy from local crafters and people deserving of the label ‘artisan’. flat out refuse to buy from brands that are a sad, hollowed out husk of their former selves. more importantly - most importantly - do what you can to keep your retirement investments away from quartly-profit mills who couldnt care less about workers or customers beyond raw sales numbers. and definitely, definitely never agree to work for them.

an extra updoot for the unix surrealism shout out. ngl I look forward to a new one every time I check lemmy
