Yup. Don’t click that link; this kinda bullshit cant be rewarded

If you want to see pics just Google her.

Hell yeah! It’ll be super satisfying to give your system a good cleaning and upgrade. Enjoy!

This is quite nice in desert areas, but doesnt work well for areas like Florida where if you dont spend hours weeding or edging religiously, you’ll end up having to weedwhack your lawn because the grass and weeds have still grown, but now your mower has turned iinto a rock flinging machine with very dull blades

A yeard can be great space for kids to run and play, but still, fuck lawns for the most part. One basketball-court-sized lawn per couple blocks is plenty sufficient for kids. A soccerfield per 5 miles, and a major sports field per 10 miles…

Folks should let their yards be what the yards are in the wild.

In Florida, that means pine/oak forest with palm fronds. Maybe small grassy garden if folks want a spot to hang. But grass for the most part is shaded out by trees and covered by pine-straw and leaves.

Residential half-acre-plus fertilized lawns are stupid AF.

Maybe was cool in the 1950s when lawncare was a handy mode of wealth redistribution for a healthier economy, and no-one had thought of the negative environmnetal impacts.

Lawns used to be a big flex specifically because it took crazy labor to do; lords would show off how many gardeners they had under employ. Now folks are flexing in how they can kill everything including their wallets, free time, and planet

Push mowers are superior for small lawns.

Mowing lawnbots are the future for lawncare.

Cam you post original link? I’d love to reply with images of factories with wind turbines and solar panels.

Everyone’s heard of the “Hello world” being people’s first program, but just as popular among teenaged boys is their second, more advanced program: Boobs! :)

Like turning them off… Which is fine. Turning off solar panels is literally built into the systems and can be automated

I think adoption of the JSLint license’s ”This software can oly be used for good and not evil" clause would cover that. I hear IBMs lawyers had issue with it lol

Which norms and why?

Breaking free from societal norms because they are norms will not get you anywhere.

Wearing a shirt that says Fuck you and being a glum dick about everything wont win you friends or convert anyone to your cause.

Being approachable and listening to others in order to connect with them as a human… Then when they ask if you want to hail satan as is the norm and you say no, my friend, for I only praise the Sun. They may be more inclined to see some sun followers as not total assholes as they pray to our dark lord

Itf youre in a situation for it, it can be fun to move to a placewhenre others choose a different societal norm more in line with your own ideals. Like Florida, where some child labor laws were repealed… Take that societal norm

I second this. My space has a couple small but well established fruit trees that I adore and definitely dont want to remove. It took almost 2 years before I realised I couldnt get anything to grow because the fruit trees just choke them out before they could get established.

I’ve been using large pots, sometimes partially burried in the ground and it’s working out. Even though I find the fruit trees will send roots up into the pot, they dont get in there until the other plants can get established.

I plan this year on transplanting some flowers into the same space they occupy, but without the pot and we’ll see how they do now they’re well established in that volume of soil.

Bad ass! Thank you for this wisdom

Thanks for sharing this. I’d never heard of this program. Good counterbalance to Behind the Bastards

Oh word! I forgot about Signal. I use the snap for that. It works well. I think copy/paste works with it.

I used apt for Firefox, Krita, ffmpeg, Blender and Ksnips

I think the big commercial programs I use were installed with vendor scripts

I’m daily driving Ubuntu and my experience aligns with this.

My only gripe is snaps can break copy/paste and prevent me from saving files where I want. This might make Ubuntu unusable for people using Linux for the first time and makes no sense if you dont understand how snaps are sandboxed and how permissions work. The solution is install with apt.

The installer, system configuration programs and UI experience is really good. I argue it is a much superior experience to Windows and arguably better than OS/X. A lot less garbage being shoved down customers throats.

According to msn.com and thestreet.com it’s a real tweet lol

Such mall ninja vibes

I was a Florida voter who voted for Nader in 2000 in my first election. I disagreed with Bill Clinton’s NAFTA and felt he wasnt addressing global warming or social injustices. I disliked George Bush Sr even more, but didn’t see Clinton/Gore as good enough. I was going to “vote my conscience.” I also felt that Bush Jr. Was such a dope with no actual platform that there was no way he would win.

Democrats were riding a budget surplus and Gore was running on fiscal responsibility. Gore looked like a leader and Bush looked like a dumb daddy’s boy who wouldn’t have a mic if it wasnt for his daddy.

Geb Bush effectively stole the election for his brother because the votes in Florida were so close and Bush Jr. Was elected.

At the time I said to myself, “ahh, 4 years of slightly worse president… what’s the worst that could happen.”

Well, 9-11 happened with Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld at the wheel.

Thousands of american soldiers died, SUVs became the new standard vehicle, oil and gas exploration exploded, millions of innocent civilians died, the PATRIOT act was drafted and passed legalizing warrantless wiretapping and tourture, and political discourse turned to utterly useless debates over what to call french fries. FOX news became the new american standard for news, rendering the populous dumber than ever and trillions of dollars were wasted killing people and our climate.

I attended protests throughout and never felt like I made even the faintest dent against the machine…

Obama, for all his flaws, felt like a gift from God after the hell of Bush Jr.

I agree with many of the others. Focus on getting ranked choice voting in your area. Try to get third parties into the debates. But actually voting for a third party is useless until we get ranked choice.

This is pure gold! Thank you

It’s the bees knees, no doubt, word, hella true, brosef, bet!

I’m sure someone knows… this is where Lemmy is truly put to the test against red it

Remove space devoted to cars… like 1 side of the street… Which I guess isnt seen as an option yet.
