The OS shouldn’t take that much storage regardless of whether its immutable. If you’re talking about containerized software, then it will depend on what programs you plan to run.

Bing Bong?

I disagree. How it is reported on needs to change though. These things need reported, but not as serious or justified actions. The reporting needs to explain exactly why these calls are illegal, immoral, fucking cartoonishly evil. Name drop, call out the fascists. Journalists need to actually stand up for something.

Normalizing the fascists insanity needs to stop. The need to be unmasked, mocked, ridiculed.

Yeah, I was just trying to point out the absurdity of trying to assign gender to either of them.

Most bees people think of are worker or queen bees (female) while the birds people tend to picture are bright and colorful (males) or the songs (also typically males). On the other hand people associate birds and egg laying (so I suppose femaleish) and bees have a stinger that could symbolize a penis (though if you have a barbed and venomous penis please stay far away from me).

So I vote you pick based solely on vibes instead of gender. Hell, I vote we take it a step further and stop gendering bathrooms at all. Just put random unrelated symbols and people can pick which they like. So like one with a book, the other with cheese. Or whatever else you want. Make it a big poop related social experiment.

Male bees don’t have stingers though…

I mostly agree with this. Your word choice doesn’t have to be ‘perfect’ by some random definition of that. When a friend makes a request like yours did, as long as it seems reasonable, then I think its worth putting an effort into accommodating it however.

I tend to not be overly concerned with how random strangers think I should speak, but I want those around me that I care about to feel heard and cared about.

Only for a bit, then they won’t feel anything.

I feel a little bad about laughing at that

Oh, I hadn’t heard they were being dissolved.

Ceremonial horse cavalry is small, but 1st Cavalry Division still exists. Its more light armor and mechanized infantry instead of horse cavalry though.

We still have the cavalry, stetsons and all. Unless you mean like actual horse cavalry. The U.S. Army still maintains horses and stables. But the horses are mostly just for ceremonial/parade purposes.

GrapheneOS does allow you to turn it off. It has a permission switch for your phone sensors. I don’t know if there are other versions of android that allow the same.

Nuclear submarines typically refers to the powerplant, though for the US that is pretty redundant since all active US sub’s are nuclear. Many or all of those subs are capable of carrying nuclear weapons though. The US historically has tried to not talk too much about where they have nuclear weapons deployed. This regime may not have that level of discretion, and honestly probably doesn’t actually know what nuclear submarine even means.

As for the rest, they are literally out murdering people in international waters to distract from how dog shit their government is.

Oh, I misunderstood. When you said screen only, I was thinking an all-in-one, but sounds like you were meaning something more like a tablet.

You can get a mini computer and mount it to the VESA mounting point on the rear of a compatible monitor. Not quite screen only, but pretty close and has roughly the same footprint aside from a little extra cabling.

The book is wonderfully written, and actually fairly insightful from a disaster preparedness and policy standpoint. It’s been a while since a read it so forgive me if the details aren’t exactly correct. Its written from the viewpoint of a journalist traveling the world post zombie apocalypse. He is collecting stories from survivors of various major events that happened during the zombie outbreak. Each chapter details a different event conveyed by a different witness, so it’s not a cohesive single plot story. More like working notes of someone preparing to write a history of a major global disaster. It highlights some of the mistakes made and lessons learned as events unfolded.

Those might get mistaken for directional buttons. I had the same thought. Maybe I triangle with the point in the direction of the button, but you may run into the same issue.

I think to avoid that, it might be easiest to just show the four button layout with the correct button highlighted.
