As in ready to go phones? Not really no. There are Linux phones like the pine phone, but they are not really ready for prime time in any way.

sailfish os says its Linux based and supports android abi 33, but they’re Europe only. I’ve not heard much about them other than they support old Sony Xperia phones so can’t really comment if they’re more usable than the pinephone.

They’re upset only as much as that “upset” is beneficial to their screaming about the librulz

Many of the at least older ones are liquidating 401ks and the like… or debt. Lots of people will take out stupid loans from bank or friends and family for the next “sure thing” great idea.

Live in a red town and also been seeing 3%’er and “shoot your local pedophile” window stickers a lot lately. The amount of murder fetishization over on that side of the aisle is sickening.

I use bsd containers for everything but home assistant on my home server and love them! The downside for most people at the moment is having to set them up manually. I can export the thin jail and move the archive across computers as backups and the fine tuned control is beautiful. FreeBSD offers a way to check for security vulnerabilities in installed packages (pkg audit -F) that I run as a cron job and email myself daily to check for needed updates.

Problem is most people want a single docker install and it’s all set up, not something that needs manual configuration. Bastille has templates that can do this for bsd jails but there’s not a lot of services with templates.

Edit: also frustrating is a lot of new apps for home servers only offer a docker install so installing from source becomes a huge pita and makes bsd jails harder to use (looking at you gramps-web specifically).

That makes sense, even if it seems dumb to be “pre-punished” for something I’m not planning on doing.

They can also fall for stupid reasons. I recently finished paying off my car and my credit score dropped by 6 points!

There really isn’t anything I couldn’t replace my phone with a tablet that stays in the house for, and it has been a growing thought to switch back to a dumb phone.

No kidding. It’s been infuriating to see stuff on Facebook again, and I don’t appreciate that it’s been the only way I’ve gotten people to buy used stuff we needed to get rid of to free up space.

It is an incredibly rewarding instrument! I rewired a conn 650 for midi to practice at home, but most of my practice and learning came from where I got lessons. Since they’re not exactly a portable instrument if you talk with an organist/music director if they don’t have an organist there’s a good chance they’ll let you practice on the church’s instrument.

I’ve played the trumpet for 27 years now, and have played the pipe organ for 3. Both of them professionally, and the issue with picking a favorite is there’s a ton of fantastic music!

On the trumpet I’d recommend a listen to Bugler’s Holiday, or Great Gate of Kiev. Possibly my favorite gig as an anecdote was an old Catholic Church in a poor part of the city. They had built an elevated stretch of subway what felt like inches from the church and the priest had to stop his homily every 5 minutes so the subway could go through. The organist ended with the Hallelujah Chorus and it might be the reason I have tinnitus but it was the most heavenly sounding space to play in!

On the organ, I played Schriener’s adaptation of Louis Vierne’s Maestoso in C. Straight from the get go it’s a fantastic piece to rattle the floors and wake up a church. I’d also recommend Scott’s arrangement of Hymn of the Cherubim as it is much softer and a good idea of the breadth the instrument can cover style wise.

Or Craigslist/Facebook marketplace/wherever your town congregates to. My town almost exclusively uses Facebook so I’ll log in long enough to post items when upgrading and usually am not the only one offering pretty cheap used gear there.

While you are right on the federal level, you are wrong on the state level. Colorado did legalize it, from their own website:

Retail cannabis is legal in Colorado

I’d expect similar at least. When one doesn’t keep up to date on new information and lets their brain coast it atrophies like any other muscle would from disuse.

That will definitely end speculation about corruption and restore Argentina’s morale!

Maybe it’s just me but I lack the free time to get meaningful progress, if I’m lucky maybe 2-3 chapters a week by the time works and housekeeping is done. It often feels unrewarding to need to look back and remember the plot by the time I get back to the book

I saw “bidenomics” and a claim that trumps massive inflation and layoffs were “making things look up” like we didn’t just post the largest layoff numbers since his last dipshit presidency… I have to wonder what drugs the author and OP are on and where I can get them because they must be the good shit!

Could yes but they are definitely training new ai’s. So same as I’ve cut most meats out of my diet I’ll do the same with ai and talk loudly about how catastrophic their water and electricity usage is until it’s no longer true. Both are not good for the environment and both are completely unnecessary to our survival.

They only raise beef once too unless you’re pretending there only one ai model ever trained you’re purposefully trying to create a false narrative.

*as long as we don’t count the shit load of electricity spent training the model.
