It's official. If you voted for #Trump, you voted for #WorldWar3. Not even six months after he said "no more war," he couldn't help but bomb Iran. #ImpeachTrump #impeachnow #impeachandremove

I'm building something and I'd like your input. What are the five most critical factors when picking a distro?Specifically these should be technical considerations for users who are new to (or at a maximum have very limited experience with) Linux.

Someone scolded me in the comments of my latest video because I use DaVinci Resolve to edit all my videos. I was told that I needed to "make some sacrifices" and use a FOSS alternative.But truthfully, if DaVinci Resolve is a top-of-the-line industrial kitchen, every other video editor is a Fisher-Price kitchen playset by comparison.That is to say: there are no "alternatives" to Resolve. Not even Adobe Premier counts as an alternative.

Coffee is the nectar of the gods. I sit here every morning and sip on a delicious cup with just a smidge of heavy cream. It's the perfect way to wake up in the morning and I am so grateful for the opportunity to experience coffee: a simple morning pleasure.

I'm looking for some advice. I have a #Proxmox install with a ZFS pool mounted at `/tank` and my #Nextcloud data at `/tank/nextcloud`I currently have a non-Docker version of Nextcloud running in an LXC container but it has... issues.I'm thinking of running the Docker AIO image but I every time I try to pass through the `/tank/nextcloud` directory to a VM via #VirtioFS, it ends up causing the host kernel to panic.Is there another way to do this?

Every once in a while I make the mistake of logging in to Facebook.Every time, without fail, the feed shows me a mix of straight up gore, AI slop, and MAGA-fied memes featuring Homestar Runner characters.Facebook is an incredibly f*cked up place, it is of no practical use to anyone, and it should be forcibly shut down.

So last night I read the last *half* of Life After Cars and I wrote my review.This morning I started in on Enshittification and continued throughout the day. I've read just under a quarter of it in about 2.5 hours total.I'm reading it on my new Onyx Boox e-reader and I have to say: I love this thing!Seriously. If I had been reading the hardcover or paperback I wouldn't have even gotten through the first 20 pages.

@kyle weight is a big deal. My hands cramp quite a bit having to fight the spike of a new book and holding it upright. Also, having to have the overhead light on at night really irritates me. I could get a lamp but... Ugh. 😅
