And do you think these child predators had charming upbringings? Or perhaps they were filled with horrors and trauma?

Yeah, there are absolutely evil people out there, and if you think the state should execute them, that's your opinion. But to think that all heinous crimes come from a vacuum is naive.

As a social construct, I like that I can be anywhere in the world and know that around noon is probably an appropriate time for lunch, etc.

Maybe both? BSD for his server, Slackware for his desktop. Or something.

It's from Phoronix. This is kinda what they do. It's not worthy of the front page of the Wall Street Journal, but then, no one said it was....

In his Thursday decision, Circuit Judge Michael Stelzer wrote that Bailey can collect documents under Missouri’s consumer protection statute that aren’t protected under federal mandate, namely the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, better known as HIPAA.

I'm confused. Is it saying, "for records which are not protected by HIPAA, you can have the documents"? Or is it saying, "you can collect these because I'm declaring them not subject to HIPAA"?

If the former...are there any relevant records which aren't covered by HIPAA? And if so, why in the world aren't they covered by HIPAA?

And if the latter, this seems (???) like a slam dunk ACLU or similar case?

If you find yourself running the same set of commands over and over, throw 'em in a shell script and keybind it! It may be obvious, but good to keep in mind.

One fun one is to pipe clipboard to qrencode


it's a simple and (nearly) universally supported way of getting a URL, etc., from a laptop/desktop to a phone.

Another great one is to take a screenshot, upload to your server, and put the URL in the paste buffer. Bonus points to put the URL in the middle click buffer and the image itself in the ctrl-v buffer.

Been a while since I've seen it, but one thing that I'm remembering differently than a lot of folks in this thread is that I don't remember it being outright dystopian. Sure, evil corp and all. But Earth government isn't really evil, the arts are still cherished, and while life seems hard it seems more like a dysfunctional society than a dystopia. Just my take though (and doesn't address OP's question).

My fun anecdote is that maybe 10 years back I got a free LaserDisc player. The local library happened to have The Fifth Element on LD, so naturally I rented it. You had to request media at the front desk, so I wrote down the call number and he returned with a very confused look


"you know this is LaserDisc, not DVD or Blu-ray? Like, it's...really big." Not the same quality as Blu-ray, but was definitely more fun :)

I share via Signal, and with links to my Immich instance (sent over Signal). Certainly susceptible to security problems since yours truly set it up, but what you gonna do...
