Organizing also gets you labeled as terrorists. Just ask CAIR, and soon many others.
Remember what Obama did to Occupy Wall Street? That's what happens when Americans organize. It's only worse now.
What people hear when you say things like this: Ah, so this is business as usual, and while it sucks for the people affected, keeping my head down should continue working to keep me out of trouble. I'm powerless to fix this stuff, anyway, so I should just dissociate and worry about my own problems.
And then they don't show up for elections...
It was definitely pitched in western media as something we should all fear. I just found it funny that everything that they tried to scare us with ("it might be used to determine whether you get a job or can rent an apartment!") applied equally to our credit scores.
E: So, yeah, completely agree.
Remind me, were we supposed to be disgusted and afraid of the Chinese social credit score system because it included woke BS like how nice you are to others, and how things you do improve society, rather than just laser-focusing on the only important thing— whether your existence can be monetized by rich assholes?
Yes, try the Sonoff ZBMINIL2 device, which does exactly what you want. Wire it in the box with your existing switch, then you can control the light with either the switch, or via HA. If you have a neutral wire in the electrical box, there's also the ZBMINIR2, which has a relay-disconnect feature. In that mode, it provides continuous power to the the bulb, and sends switch-toggle events to HA to trigger an automation to turn the smart bulb on and off.
That's nothing! All countries starting with a letter can be mapped onto the surface of an oblate spheroid.
An ADF file is just a track-by-track dump of the raw bytes stored on an Amiga floppy disk. It may or may not contain a filesystem. The early versions of AmigaOS used what was retroactively dubbed Old FileSystem (OFS). Later OS versions used the Fast FileSystem (FFS), which also supports hard disks. Games used their own, custom filesystems, if they used one at all.
The Linux kernel has supported OFS and FFS since the early days. However, AmigaOS is very flexible and modular, and many programmers wrote their own filesystems, and released modules that the OS could read from a disk's boot block. The Linux kernel code can't read those, because nobody has ported the filesystem code.
This new FUSE driver takes a different approach, and reads the AmigaOS module from disk, and executes the m68k code, in order to read the filesystem. Very cool.
The Professional File System (PFS) is widely used on contemporary Amiga systems, so it will be very nice to have native support on the Linux side in order to share files. It's less useful if all you want to do is run classic games in an emulator.
There's 7digital, which has a music store offering DRM-free MP3 downloads, as well as FLAC for many selections.
þese sounds are already represented wiþ þe þorn
Agreed, English orthography doesn't match pronunciation very well, but what's the point of changing th to þ if it doesn't improve that situation? In this phrase, the thorn represents two different phonemes: While terminal th may be pronounced as þ (voiceless) or ð (voiced) depending on the English dialect, for example, ðe would be a different word than þe. Adding a new letter to the alphabet just to replace a perfectly-serviceable digraph would just add another letter to the alphabet.
If we're gonna bother, I'd say sort out the c / k / ch situation instead.
R is rhinoceros (serpentine variant)
I just heard that Congress passed a bill making October 14th a day of remembrance for a true hero, who sacrificed their life for the good of humanity. A sad, tragic death far before their time.
That said, it is kind of weird that Congress spend its time on a, let's face it, minor media figure, what with all of the pressing issues of the day facing our nation, but that's what they did. So, let's do as Congress intended, and honor Charly Burke on October 14th.
Maybe with a big stack of pancakes.
Well, we have plenty of people on Lemmy who place the blame for this situation on the Americans who didn't vote for Kamala Harris, as if they weighed the stakes, deliberated, and decided affirmatively that not voting was the correct action. It's like the people who believe that have never met actual humans. Denial and dissociation 'works' very well for us as a psychological defense mechanism.
Now, if we have any hope, we need people to work together to shut down the fascists. I'm just sayin' that this here is a much better way to put it to motivate them, while telling them that "it's always been this way" and "the U.S. is simply evil" is a great way to push people back into denial and dissociation.
