It’s sort of built in. During initial setup a blocklist is downloaded which includes fox news, RT, brietbart and 3000 more fascist, conspiracy and misinfo sites. Admins can unblock anything but I assume they have not bothered.

FYI

Fox News is banned from all PieFed instances and on https://piefed.social/ every post linking to nypost.com has a red warning symbol with a popup saying “very unreliable news source”.

I’m pretty sure it will only work with a handful of old Logitech keyboards.

When I eventually upgrade my OS and can’t compile the stack for some reason, I’ve got a Sun Type-7 waiting in the wings.

I have an old gamer keyboard with extra programmable keys on the side, which I use for cut, copy, paste, close tab, close window, etc. Logitech provides drivers/software for Windows & Mac only.

To make it work I have a custom monkey-patched USB driver that I compiled from source, some weird daemon that interacts with the driver and some shell scripts on top of that. I’m not sure how but it works thanks to a 9 year old youtube video made by a guy from eastern europe somewhere.

I made [email protected] for all the drama at social media companies

PieFed has a trans theme, btw

Actually pretty close to how it was.

People on the radio keep talking about this revolutionary information superhighway which sounds grand but no one you know has an internet connection but you read in the newspaper that in a town nearby there is one in a public library. You travel there and find a single computer. There are no instructions and none of the staff know how it works. When you ask to see “the internet” they show you an icon to click and leave you to it. You click it, strange noises happen for a bit then stop and nothing happens, the computer seems frozen. Maybe you broke it but then literally 10 minutes later it un-freezes and you see a list on the screen:

• alt.binaries.mom
• alt.binaries.misc
• alt.binaries.warez
• alt.binaries.etc
• alt.binaries.warez.flightsim
• and so on, hundreds of them
• comp.lang.c
• comp.lang.perl
• comp.lang.prolog
• blah blah gibberish

Ok none of that sounds like an “information superhighway” so close the window and go back home.

Human-readable names are a critical feature.

See if your library has “How Linux Works” - https://www.amazon.com.au/How-Linux-Works-Brian-Ward/dp/1718500408

They eventually say that, yeah. But only after first saying a bunch of other misleading stuff.

Back when SSDs were expensive and tiny they used to sell hybrid drives which were a normal sized HDD with a few gigs of SSD cache built in. Very similar to your proposal. When I upgraded from a HDD to a hybrid it was like getting a new computer, almost as good as a real SSD would have been.

I say go for it.

If it’s all Steam games then you could just move games around as needed, no need for a fancy automatic solution.

Very misleading article. They’re not shutting down wordpress.org, just the registration of new accounts, plugin, etc

I use PyCharm for work but it’s not FOSS or beginner-friendly. PyCharm does have a free community edition which is awesome if you’re mostly into FOSS for the $0 aspect.

• https://thonny.org/ - for the first few days of learning and easy setup
• https://www.spyder-ide.org/ - especially good for data science
• https://eric-ide.python-projects.org/ - full-featured general purpose IDE

Codium is fine and technically FOSS although it’s association with Microsoft taints it for anyone who still hates MS from the bad old days. Also it’s an Electron app.

They’re deindexing ALL news, not just the union website.

Although, the penalty for non-compliance is 10% of global turnover which would amount to close to £0 for most.

A 4runner has a 4 liter engine, surely it can tow that tiny RV. Wtf.

It might be worth asking the dealer why the capacity is only 880 lbs. Maybe there is a simple upgrade that can be made to increase that because fundamentally a vehicle with an engine that size should be able to tow medium-sized boats, etc.

Explain to him the social cost he will bear. Friends and support network will drift away.

They probably had no idea it would be this bad.

Try this.

Life is the meaning. You don’t have to ‘find’ the meaning because you are already it. Even if you don’t consciously know the meaning it’s being enacted, automatically, always.

I’m pretty interested to try KaiOS (successor to Firefox OS) sometime.
