RFK Jr. Announces All Americans Need Health Tracking Devices: Here Are the Pros and Cons
  • So I'd been considering getting a used smart watch with fitness tracking stuff and audio controls (I listen to audio books at work but have to pause fairly frequently), what should I be looking for to keep my data away from the ghouls? I know about the PineTime, how ready for less techy consumers is that right now?

  • What is the worst candy you've ever tasted?
  • At least the US KitKats aren't Nestle.

    I won't say I'm boycotting Nestle per se, but I try to avoid their stuff. There's a bag of strawberry cheesecake KitKats from Japan on my desk, lol. They're pretty good.

  • Who's the worst person you've ever met?
  • A white South African Jew who went to the same (US) community college I did. He'd talk about applying to African American scholarships because he's from Africa and he's American. The more I learn about Apartheid the more I regret not slapping that shitbag.

    I just got notice that my Twitter account has been suspended.
  • delete old inactive accounts so new people can get the handles

    I can't see this plan causing any problems at all...

    (Which high profile left-ish person that left for Bluesky do you think is going to be impersonated first?)

  • Prescription Running Glasses?
  • Also I think there's just more interest from cyclists. I've considered getting prescription cycling glasses to deal with the wind when I'm on my bike, but I just run in my regular glasses - but I've got plastic frames so no nose pads to discolor. And I don't run very fast, lol.

    Trump agenda bill would block Medicaid from covering gender-affirming care

    "The bill that passed the House Thursday would not prohibit ACA health plans from covering gender-affirming care outright, but it would restrict care by making it effectively unaffordable, said Lindsey Dawson, director for LGBTQ health policy at KFF. "

    maybe a factor...

    Stolen from Mastodon.

    Don't stop boycotting, but it may be a factor in what we saw today, at the very least it's helping the Israeli government's advertising to be more effective. ESC really needs to do something (ideally ban Israel) because Israel has made Eurovision​ even more explicitly political than it was before.

    Hope this is okay here, I read the community description and I'm still not clear, but now I want to see someone slap an electric motor on and commute to work in an office chair.

    TIL the father of supercomputing, Seymour Cray, had a hobby of digging a tunnel under his home.

    > Another favorite pastime was digging a tunnel under his home; he attributed the secret of his success to "visits by elves" while he worked in the tunnel: "While I'm digging in the tunnel, the elves will often come to me with solutions to my problem."

    Wikipedia cited a rather entertaining Time article as a citation for this.

    ope, kernel panic :/

    I'm on Bazzite and was able to rollback and boot get to the desktop, but I'm not completely sure where to go from here. I think I need to pin my current deployment before doing anything else? I think sudo ostree admin pin 0 ? (No, it's 1)

    Help is welcome but I've barely begun to troubleshoot and I just installed Discord to ask on there. Looking for sympathy I guess?

    Edit: phrasing

    EDIT2: Not just me, someone on the uBlue Discourse linked to this post, and other people have posted about it on the Bazzite Discord. Roll back and wait, and curious if you're also on the Nvidia KDE build too. I should probably be helpful and open an issue on GitHub. :/

    Edit 3: devs are working on it :)

    Final edit: the devs released a working update this afternoon, I just updated and it works. I kinda like this atomic distro thing, at no point in time was my computer unusable. 10/10 experience, still would prefer to avoid future kernel panic at the disco, lol.

    If you could choose to move outside the US, would you?

    And if you'd decide to leave, where would you go?

    Context for why I'm asking: I'm trans and currently live in Minnesota, I moved here from Florida so I have some idea of how miserable big moves can be. I can get EU citizenship which makes me very lucky, but... Do I sit here and hope Minnesota can protect me from 🥭 or do I try to build a life somewhere else, again?
