I've always been envious of people with great social skills. I could accomplish a lot more if I had them. The glasses for sure.

Lol, no you didn't.

Yeah that stopped on 09/12/2001.

What if I'm taking a shit???

On Linux, you’ll want to install figlet and toilet
I know you're 100% serious, but this sentence sounds so made up and hilarious

I don't doubt anything you said, except for the last paragraph.
Ken Bone did an AMA on the same account that he commented on porn subs with - that was not a result of surveillance programs.

I salute you.
WARNING: Lemmy Self-Hosters, There Have Been CSAM Attacks taking place against [email protected]

Self hoster here, im nuking all of pictrs. People are sick. Luckily I did not see anything, however I was subscribed to the community.
- Did a shred on my entire pictrs volume (all images ever):
sudo find /srv/lemmy/example.com/volumes/pictrs -type f -exec shred {} \;
- Removed the pictrs config in lemmy.hjson
- removed pictrs container from docker compose
Anything else I should to protect my instance, besides shutting down completely?

I was on the original Silk Road back in the day, those were the golden years. I don't fuck with drugs anymore because even the non-hard stuff is completely tainted with fetanyl these days.

If it helps, there's a 99.9% chance they just take your money and not send any drugs

People that hate communists tend to also be people who hate LGBTQ+, liberals fit this category (like blahaj 196 with its huge "anti-tankie" banner) they are just better at smiling and covering up their hatred of you.

Literal strawman... Just because you don't like another instance's politics doesn't mean you can just accuse them of posting CSAM. Wtf? Honestly disgusting & chilling. This is the tactic that the far right uses, "anyone who I don't like is a groomer".

cw: sexual violence
Not only do the more violent incarcerated people rape incarcerated trans people, the fucking prison guards actually "give them over" to said violent prisoners, by knowingly assigning them to a cell together to placate the violent one.

Happens to cis men as well, if you are perceived as effeminate or known to be gay. Donny the Punk (Stephen Donaldson) was a prison reform activist who brought a lot of attention to sexual assault in male prisons.
His Wikipedia page is a tough read, but he is basically one of the first people to organize around this and bring the issue to American consciousness.
Defund the police was a watered down psyop. Abolish prisons and police.

Like I'm not getting ahead no matter how hard I try

Probably not bc lemmy.world is probably the most censored instance at this point

They don't want to at all but I've chained them to the desk and propped their eyes open clockwork orange style. They have no choice but to watch me remove Windows

No, I'm putting a gun to their head and they will use Linux. /s
I have gotten a few comments like these, not sure why some of you are getting the idea that this is a forced switch lol

Your memes are cancer.

If you're American, this may be why. 54% of US adults read below a 6th grade level.

You are seeing the effect of America's deeply rooted culture of anti-intellectualism and the decades-long Republican crusade to gut the public schooling system.

American workers are demanding almost $80,000 a year to take a new job
The amount of money most workers want now to accept a job reached a record high this year, a sign that inflation is alive and well at least in the labor market.
According to the latest New York Federal Reserve employment survey released Monday, the average “reservation wage,” or the minimum acceptable salary offer to switch jobs, rose to $78,645 during the second quarter of 2023.
That’s an increase of about 8% from just a year ago and is the highest level ever in a data series that goes back to the beginning of 2014. Over the past three years, which entails the Covid era, the level has risen more than 22%. The number is significant in that wages increasingly have been recognized as a driving force in inflation. While goods prices have abated since pushing overall inflation to its highest level in more than 40 years in mid-2022, other factors continue to keep it well above the Fed’s targeted rate of 2%.
The New York Fed data is consistent with an Atlanta Fed tracker, which shows wage

Trying to get my partner to switch from Windows to Linux. Has anyone tried Scrivener with Wine?
My partner doesn't do much on the computer except web browsing and writing. The Scrivener writing program had a Linux version at some point that was abandoned.
I wanted to see if anyone personally has used Scrivener with Wine and if it is fussy or not. How has your experience been?
I could set it up for them, but they're not a tech person and will probably reject Linux if it breaks all the time and they have to get me to come fix it.
Extra irrelevant info: trying to decide on having them try Mint or Ubuntu. Fedora is my daily driver and I typically use a headless Debian install for servers, but I heard Mint and Ubuntu are pretty perfect and low fuss for Windows users.
