I'd prefer no one change their minds. Getting it over with is good enough for me.
You dont know the ones who don't talk about it constantly.
Applies to both Linux users and vegans.
Oh absolutely.
I'd just find it hilarious for her to respond, but leaving the idiot alone is absolutely the best course of action.
Unrelated outside of the title... Pokemon Go to the Polls was a very fun bonus episode for dungeons and daddies
Related, I really hope the Taylor Swift fans register and vote (and more, but her fans are relevant right now considering the endorsement right after the debate)
I hope her response is just "Ew. No."
Though its more likely she'll just ignore him.
Racism, basically.
Vance told an easily disproved lie about Haitian migrants eating cats, which the racists that will vote for him like hearing because they are weird and hateful.
But if I had to bet, he heard someone say Haitians are good at eating another word for cats, and since that's not an option for that sofa cushion pushin', he was confused.
Honestly don't remember the names, its been.... Quite a while. I'll have to open and check.
Iirc it was also some I stored as gifts that became unknown or something, and I wasn't able to send them.
The bigger issue to me are games that were removed from steam and I can no longer get.
Which is why I don't bother buying on steam anymore. If I'm buying, its DRM-free only.
Part of why I'm collecting up whatever ones I find to use for my small electronics projects... Even saw someone recently use about 50 or so to make a nice battery bank (was posted here to Lemmy)
I've been using them as the overnight batteries for solar powered projects (like wled controlled lights). I'll be happy to get batteries elsewhere instead and reduce the massive waste.
I am a different person, and its completely made up because I know nothing about YouTube "creators".
That's not really "YouTube drama" though. That's international news regarding Russian disinformation campaigns.
Slightly different subject than "Ticklepig beef with Bone Destroyer" or whatever.
Yup, xmpp is the way to be still IMO.
Yes but it wasn't marketed that way. Which is why there is more interest.
Apple has been blatantly obvious that they want it to remain proprietary and exclusively on their hardware.
Because imessage is proprietary and apple is against it being publicly available and a standard.
I spent $10 at the door to see Deftones (mid 90s or so?), a friends band was opening for them.
I want to point out, this was after adrenaline, so they weren't an unknown here - they were headlining. Now its about $200 for the same venue (just checked).
$10 in 1995 is $20 today for inflation. That $200 ticket would be $100 in 1995. There is no way I would have paid $100 in 1995 to see my friends OK band, even opening for the Deftones.
I think you're absolutely right. I don't know that I will ever even be in a realistic position to take my daughter to go see Taylor Swift without it being a huge birthday present or something.
I played games on channel 3.
I installed dos on an IBM model 30 286 with a stack of 3.5" floppies.
The apple 2e's in school were great for playing games.
The Mets had a good years playing baseball when I was little.
While I agree with regards to school shootings, this has a lot of other value as well, such as medical emergencies. I think its great to have a system like this available, I just wish the reasoning behind it was more for those medical emergencies and less because school shootings are all too common...
I'm glad it helped in Georgia. I hope its never needed for the same reason ever again - though with the idiots out there that think guns are more important than kids, its likely my hopes will be dashed soon.
I would love it if this nimrod had to drink a shake on screen right after this inane comment.
Looks like this is what they have - https://www.centegix.com/crisisalert/
TL;DR: Got any of them "banned" book recommendations for kids? We have a 2 1/2yr old and a 6 yr old who love book time

So a recent popular post in politics was about a book that stirred up controversy - My Shadow is Purple, which is the second book in a series (Here's the first).
Local library doesn't have them unfortunately, so I'll be putting in a request (then checking out a local store).
It made me wonder about some other great books out there that more conservative areas might not have. My township is pretty progressive (, but not large, so the school library is only OK. The county library is literally a few blocks away, so no town library. And while amazing as a library, the in-county magas have made the library slow down on some kinds of books. Its ridiculous, but one problem at a time.
So I'm hoping to get some kids books they might not otherwise see, like the My Shadow is Pink/Purple books mentioned, but I don't know what's out there.
Anyone have some favorites to share for the young kids? Looking forward to any ideas!
I got my hands on a Lenovo ThinkSmart Hub 500 - you may have seen these in conference rooms, its a small Teams Room or Zoom Room device, based off their Tiny lineup, with a built-in touch display thats about 11" in diagonal.
https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkSmart/ThinkSmart_Hub_500/ThinkSmart_Hub_500_Spec.pdf
I left the 128gb nvme in there for now, and threw Debian 12 on it. Touch worked throughout the installation process, all I did was attach a keyboard, power, and network (along with the thumb drive with netinstall), now installed with KDE.
Considering the specs, the only part I'm surprised works well is the touchscreen, its otherwise just a generic lenovo tiny (which I have several of already, 6th-9th gen, as part of my tiny/mini/micro server stack). I could have chosen a different flavor, but I'm a long, long, loooonngggg time Debain user so its my go-to.
In terms of touch, tap, drag, and long press are all working. Video looks good with the UI set at 125% scaling, and to be candid its rather snappy and responsive.
I did this 100% for my own personal entertainment, so now for some thoughts for the community - what would be fun to use it for? A few of my thoughts....
- I could use it as a HomeAssistant kiosk. Neat, but.... overkill compared to the tablets doing the same job.
- Make it an emulation station, attach my steam controller and maybe my usb adapters for N64/GC/Sega/PS/etc.
- Use it to test a series of distributions to see how well they handle touch drivers for this silly thing (EndeavorOS is probably going to happen, I may be a long time Debian guy but I should spend more regular time in other things, and not just my arch VMs).
- I don't know, gcompris for my kids? They already have it though on an android tablet and an old mac mini (like, 2011ish) hooked up to the TV in the living room.
- Make it another proxmox endpoint for the cluster, install a DE anyway, and then let it be an always-visible display for grafana?
- Install OBS, let the hdmi capture have some purpose?
What about you folks, what would you find fun to do with this box?
TL;DR: How do you sort your books for your book server?

I'm thinking of reworking my eBook/comic/etc library, and I'm curious how other people structure things.
I don't want to separate fiction out by genre or anything since some can fit multiple genres, so I'm leaning towards Dewey decimal system categories personally.
I'm also planning a bit ahead since my daughter is now starting to read more than sight words books, so I'm thinking of separating kids fiction and adult fiction.
I also currently have a section for comics, manga, and LNs. Those are separated mostly for who goes to what, and what they do/don't want to read. So my library right now (plus the kids section) will look like:
- Kids Fiction
- Adult Fiction
- Comics
- Manga
- Light/Web Novels
- Non-Fiction
Simple for navigation, and searchable, but maybe not the best for browsing. So I was thinking maybe the Dewey categories:
- Computer Science, Knowledge, and Systems
- Philosophy & Psychology
- Social Sciences
- Language
- Science
- Technology
- Arts
- Adult Fiction
- Kids Fiction
- History/Geography
Nicely browsable, but some of those sections will be really light on books.
What method of sorting do you use? Any librarians out there with thoughts on better approaches than the Dewey decimal system?
EDIT: I really like what @thayer@lemmy.ca mentioned, which I've currently adapted to:
- Instructional (How-to, manuals, gardening, etc)
- Tech (Electronics reference materials, programming reference books, etc).
- Equine (all my wife's horse stuff)
- Kids Fiction
- Kids Non-Fiction (I've got some geography books and such my daughter likes, I'm sure it will expand over time)
- Adult Fiction
- Adult Non-Fiction
- Comics
- Manga
- LN/WN
I can easily allow the kids accounts to have access to the Kids section, not include the comics/manga/tech my wife has no interest in, etc.
