Yes, this is a tragic and complex way to have averted a mass shooting but that appears to be what happened. After being shot non-critically it appears the shooter lost their nerve, threw their rifle in a bag and tried to run/rejoin the crowd.

I've been bracing myself for the disgusting politics to hit. Like I can feel right wing pundits hand wringing to show the armed protesters 'have no idea how to handle guns.'

Adding fuel to the fire, we had a shooting last night at a multicultural festival where three were killed, one being 8 months old.

Yeah, I'm afraid it's just the same as lack of concern over digital privacy. I don't want to diminish the bravery but I'm sure a lot of them aren't considering how easy it would be for trump co. to use pictures months down the line to identify protesters.

Talking with friends today I expressed that someone or more will die tomorrow during this. I feel guilty to hope that it's heat exhaustion/dehydration. I'm not against strategic escalation but I'm terrified that indiscriminate violence will play into fascist's hands. Now is the time to be paranoid about digital habits. We must show our strength without losing the public's support.

Yeah. The linked Mastodon thread by GrapheneOS mentions them potentially making a phone themselves. I'd love if they partnered with fairphone to build it. Though it sounds like we'd need to accept a higher price than a standard fairphone.

MFW I'm on my 3rd vodka redbull of the night but "I'm not an alcoholic."

I was actually told "you should get a car. Be a man." by an angry driver. I was just stunned to hear something so stupid and cringy said.

I bet the frame rate is fine. Response time is the potential issue. I bet it'd reel like frequently pausing an audiobook with old bluetooth earbuds, which is to say vaguely usable.

I use Aurora store and Fdroid on it. Funny considering direct play store is a selling point of theirs. I mostly use it as an ereader but it's also my work phone since intune doesn't play nice with grapheneos. Being able to fit my ereader in a pocket has been amazing. I rarely leave home without it

Nah. I love my palma 2 and can do plenty with it if you accept no cell phone capabilities it's great. I don't see the appeal of a device with worse refresh rate, a keyboard that needlessly eats screen space, and UI that doesn't trust you as a user.

Edit: I suspect people are reacting without knowing wtf a palma 2 is, lol.

Even if they do this, I wouldn't be averse to a less on demand version of youtube. 3rd party apps will let you load a number of videos for later viewing. Would probably help me consume media more responsibly and youtube has to deal with the additional resources needed to serve all the videos I didn't wind up watching after all.

Hot pockets are evil. Why can you eat an infinite amount of them and never feel full?

 
 

I've been loving my hard scifi recently. But I feel like it's begun to demonstrate how much easier it is to imagine all the ways things could go wrong. If fiction is how we lay an outline for the future, I wonder if anyone can recommend some more uplifting stories to me? Rather than a cautionary tale I would appreciate a story with a setting where the author dares to risk being wrong about what's right for us. Naturally this may simply be the setting for a somewhat unrelated story, but I'm curious what sorts of literature comes to mind that falls into this category.

 

I have an aging gaming desktop with a GTX 970 that I've previously used to let friends/family stream games. My area has a lot of fiber so it's surprisingly usable, even got VR working. Problem is, I'd prefer to use it as a NAS most the time as it has plenty of drive bays and I need somewhere better to run jellyfin than my desktop.

I'm somewhat aware of the options as I've used various hypervisors etc before, but I also want something as simple as possible. Because of that, I'm looking at TrueNAS. I'm aware my point of difficulty is gonna be the GPU. Is there any easy way to use it for a gaming VM at times and jellyfin encode others? If there's not some nifty feature in Proxmox or TrueNAS to solve my problem, how dumb would running a linux VM with both the games and Jellyfin be?

Forgive me if this is a more generic question than I realize. I'd be plenty happy to be pointed to some existing resources.

 
 
 

Confronted with the likelihood that we cannot achieve climate goals, confront socioeconomic inequality, and ultimately build a better world without significant personal sacrifice: How much are you personally capable and willing to lose? I mean this in the most earnest way possible. Acknowledging the likely possibility of working for an unethical organization while simultaneously supporting family who rely on you financially. Do you believe the amount we can and will bear aligns with the amount we must bear?
