Horrible… I hope Iran has the resources to double down on its missile strikes compared to operation true promise 2. And I hope they’ve got a clandestine aspect to their nuclear program as a contingent. There’s really no better guarantor of sovereignty or defense against invasion, as proven by the example of the DPRK, and counterexamples of the Libyan jamahariya and Baathist Iraq

GrapheneOS is a security focused project so they only publish for devices which meet their hardware security requirements. In the past this included a few non Google devices, but as of today only Pixels meet those requirements in the Android space. The Fairphone has poor hardware security

I absolutely recommend switching to Linux, it’s a truly liberating computing experience. However if you have to stick on windows and want to go LTSC, this document from massgrave makes it really easy and even provides the direct ISO download from Microsoft.

I went to school for CS out of passion, computers and software have been my bread and butter since I was a kid. Currently on month 7 of the job hunt with no bites. I got another degree in math for similar reasons, but job prospects from that are pretty slim too. It’s a grim landscape; there’s work to be done and a need for more workers, but it’s more profitable to bleed the existing workforce white than to hire new people in any real quantity. And they lean on “AI” as an excuse for the hiring freezes but the reality of that grift is obvious; it’s all just bluster and excuses to pad the margins.

Went to an observatory my alma mater runs out in the mountains to look at stars earlier this month. It was great, kinda cloudy at first but once the skies cleared we got a great look at some globular clusters and cool stars. Also saw some baby foxes playing in the woods on our way up there, extremely cute

Piracy is ethically correct against corporations and I do it with glee

 

Not sure if this community is for serious mathposting only but thought yall might like something silly like this

 

Just recently peeked at my old Reddit account after talking with my partner about some communities they like there and how that keeps them away from Lemmy/hexbear. I looked at posts in generally left leaning subs so I expected better but I suppose I’m spoiled by you wonderful people. But they number of carnists who crawl out on any discussion of veganism and MUST tirade about how all vegans are mentally ill, nutrient deficient, don’t understand agriculture, are secretly backed by 7th day adventists (had never heard this one before), lie about their diet, etc etc was just dizzying. And so many people validating that perspective and supporting it. Even saw people claiming eating ground beef diets cured their depression, on some Jordan Peterson shit lmao. Don’t really have a point to this rant just wanna say I love this community and how welcoming it is towards veganism, it’s a breath of fresh air every day here

 

CW Rant with some discussion of familial trauma, religion, mention of substance useI drove over 6 hours to see them and be present for the holidays and they went out of their way to cross my boundaries and make me uncomfortable. I didn’t want to be rude when they put me on the spot so I read the verses they wanted to humor them, but then they asked me to lead a fuckin prayer. They are aware I’m an atheist and resent that fact; I try to respect their beliefs but they push theirs onto me like this. I said a short prayer to get out of this whole situation and my mom started crying and smiling huge like I was just converted. Feel so weird and gross about this. They roped my partner into participating too and they’re of the same mind as me on these things so it made us both uncomfortable and anxious.

This incident was just icing on the cake of a trip full of my emotionally abusive mother starting constant arguments, my family trying to get me to drink knowing I’m sober, and being around my siblings one of whom is I’ll just say an abusive shithead. I don’t think I’ll bother going next year. I recall vividly why I was hyped to move out and why I don’t call more often. The neglect, manipulation, and abuse of years in that household all came flowing back. No wonder i deal with so much mental health shit lol

Edit: sorry if initial phrasing doesn’t convey the reason the prayer got me but it’s because I left Christianity due to the institutional abuses I experienced and witnessed, not just because I’m not religious these days. I just got put on the spot and due to family history went fight or flight and compromised my needs to get out of there asap. Really just needed to vent abt this didn’t want to spark confusion or debate sorry

Sorry for the rant just wanted to vent to my cool internet stranger friends

 

Friendly reminder of where to direct your energy in the coming days. Organize, educate, agitate and maintain revolutionary optimism my friends. Don’t get caught in the trap of debating about this sham election with bad faith actors. Lets work to protect each other and build the world we want to live in ✊
