Same. The headline is journalistic malpractice at best. Joss was murdered by a homophobic terrorist.

Before spending all that money talking to another doctor, talk with a lawyer who knows healthcare related law. If your full time job has an employee assistance program, it may cover a consultation with a lawyer. A lawyer will be able to tell you what rights you have at a federal, state, and local level, and should know if there is a process to compel the hospital to restrict your records.

The mayor is an elected official, the governor can’t just fire him. The fact the US DOJ was investigating and probably going to prosecute likely led to any state investigation being ended, due to federal investigations taking precedence.

I’d say just don’t engage with it at all.

If someone talks about it, pretend ignorance. Like total ignorance of any aspect of the stories.

Or, if someone mentions it, just say you don’t give bigots money.

Editing to expand: by pirating you are perpetuating the cultural impact. The majority of people pay for access to this media, and by engaging with it you make it more costly for other people to skip it.

Got kids? Percy Jackson (and the other Rick Riordan written) series are great. Older kids? Get them reading chuck wendig or Margaret Killjoy.

Introduce yourself to Kafka and Marquez and Butler and Morrison and so many other great great writers who make JK Rowling look like the utter hack she is.

But you’d possibly be making life better for people in general, depending on which politicians you chose to destroy (and in what way you destroyed them.)

That is clearly a wolverine.

I’m so glad I don’t use telegram.

Yeah, it’s pretty fucked that the male actor didn’t say something about the intimacy coordinator not being present, the fact there wasn’t prior notice, and so on. Definitely makes him complicit at best.

That’s not really a side effect, more of a condition.

Also every Hollywood agent with Jewish clients from 1900 until present day.

Austin actually has a city ordinance with more or less this exact logic. Once you’ve seen a dozen or so average women with their chests uncovered at the pool, it loses any excitement it may have initially held.

 

I installed Fedora 39 on an old iMac I had with a fusion drive (128GB SSD +1TB spinning disk.)

Fedora is installed on the SSD, and I want to use the spinning disk as a media drive. Problem is, it does not mount by default, so I figure I need to edit /etc/fstab to have it mount at startup.

I’m at work so I SSH into the iMac and get the UUID for the disk and then open fstab in vi, enter the new line with the uuid, directory I want the drive mounted in (/media), the filesystem (ext4) and the options. Try to write and quit, get an error the file is readonly. Try to set the file to noreadonly, write fails again. Try :wq! and get the error the file cannot be opened to write.

Exit vi, ls -la and see the file is read-only.

sudo chmod 644 fstab, put in password. ls -la shows file is still read only. lsattr fstab, immutable flag is not set.

Is this happening because I’m on SSH, or is there some other issue?

 
 

I have an old iMac that I am planning to install some flavor of Linux on and while I was looking at various distros it occurred to me that it might be a good exercise to install Gentoo on it. Other than a separate machine for documentation and downloading the necessary packages, what else should I have set up to try this? Has anyone installed Gentoo on a Mac before? If so, what concerns are there related to things like Apple’s implementation of EFI?

 

I have a Lenovo Carbon X1 that is a few years old (7th gen), and I am running Fedora 38.5 with GNOME 44.5. The issue is that the system does not sleep properly. If I close the lid, nothing suspends properly, so if it is not on a charger or shut down it will die within several hours in my bag. Are there any distros that handle power management and suspend status on this hardware better than Fedora?

 

I am buying a friend’s PC for games. I want to avoid windows if at all possible, and I’m wondering what people’s experience using Proton in Linux for gaming has been. Are there certain publishers who use libraries Proton doesn’t handle well? Are there distros to avoid using with proton? Any other notes I should be aware of?
