Remember a couple of years ago when Biden just made it illegal for rail workers to strike?
Just pointing out that this king shit didn’t start with Trump, it’s just gone even more off the rails.

The Asus EeePC 1000H that I bought back in 2009 is a 10 inch monitor netbook. 160 GB HDD because I didn’t go with SSD, only came with 1 GB of RAM and cruicially was offered in both Windows XP and Linux flavor which was a bit niche at the time.
Its 32-bit single core (hyperthreading) atom processor is very slow at 1.6GHz, but it can still be used with antiX for my usecase.
If you manage to get hold of one of these old dinosaurs, I’d probably opt for an SSD solution, that’s a pretty big bottleneck.

I use an extension which bundles 5 different solutions in one called PaywallHub. I hasn’t been updated for a while because it got hit by takedown notices, but the chrome extension and firefox addon repos are still available, you just have to install it a bit more manually: https://github.com/Angeloyo/PaywallHub

Good point.

While the stroad seem realistic, seeing a pedestrian carrying groceries doesn’t seem like americana iconography.

I suppose abraunegg’s onedrive does help with creating a config file, but it might still scare away newcomers to linux having to dig around for it. I suppose they’ll need to learn eventually.

That’s a lot of choo-choo’ing

If we’re sharing silly useless projects, I quite like “activate linux”, the configurable watermark inspired by “Activate Windows”.
It’s unfortunately not a strictly terminal based goof, but wanted to share anyway.

This reminded me to install onedrive for linux. I mean, I have 105 GB of free cloud storage on my OneDrive, it’d be dumb not to take advantage of it even though I’ve moved from windows. CLI and systray GUI. The GUI makes it very easy to log in and setup, no need to touch a config file.

As someone fairly new to lemmy, I had to look into this drama with lemmy.world, lemmygrad and hexbear. It has definitely shed some light on who has the big stick and who likes to play police.

The good thing about an nvidia driver update is that it forces you to take a backup. And hey, I figured out how apt-file works just so I could figure out where the nvidia driver put nvidia-settings (as it forgot to put it somewhere $path could find it, and no .desktop files were made).

Wait until they figure out that anarchocapitalists aren’t anarchists

https://feddit.org/post/7894572 earliest post I could find. It’s a clever exploit, but it was patched 3 days ago.

I had to find this theme (and tweak the colours a bit) to just stand the site. The userscript Lemmytools also helps a bit, albeit half broken.

It’s taken from the excellent 1998 anime “Serial Experiments Lain”. It’s so iconic, excellent intro (OP) theme. But a bit surreal, it’s kind of Lynchian in a way.

This is so sad… Horses can’t go downstairs 😢

Reading about the Tulsa race massacre is so crazy, like World War 1 planes, some say up to 12, others at least 8 of them doing stuff like: “… turpentine or nitroglycerin bombs being dropped and men shooting from planes”. Some also suspect the use of dynamite, so it’s possible they were quite literally dropping bombs.

Fuuuuuck… I was really hoping I didn’t need to migrate away from gmail… But looks like this is it.

Pedantic, I know, but wouldn’t it make more sense to say “powered by Totino’s Pizza Rolls”, that is, to switch those two around?

Tbf, disabling systemD autorun is the only thing I’ve ever user kwriteconfig6 for, because with it enabled bash scripts don’t run correctly.
