Earplugs (in case a movie or concert etc. too loud)

Linux boot disk (I saved a friend's laptop this way once)

keys, phone (gross), credit card, ID, pads

The real problem is that the security model for apps on mobile is much better than that for apps on desktop. Desktop apps should all have private storage that no other non-root app can access. And while we're at it, they should have to ask permission before activating the mic or camera.

I use a completely blank opening page with a search bar on it.

Is it just me or is the caning a really minor add-on to the 17.5 years?

Edit: Jesus Christ, I had no idea caning was so awful. Thank you for explaining.

I think it's more like: the maturest kids and the most immature adults.

As an adult, I have smart outrage over video games.

This is true in Lua as well (substituting 'nil' for 'null)

Sure, I can agree with that. Covid had a similar effect.

Two years ago I said: independent of the war with Russia, Europe will fall into fascism one way or another. Everything I said has come true.

In a poll on hexbear (see link), it was observed that there are very few cis women on Lemmy. I think this is the intersection of several problems:

  • engagement of women on Reddit was always low
  • fewer women in computer science
  • I'm hesitant to recommend anything fediversy to people who don't tinker with computers like I do and thus might need a more handholdy UX.

I gather that transgender people tend to be more into CS, though I don't see why that explains entirely such an astonishing presence of the transgender community on Hexbear.

Anyway, I just thought I'd open the floor to brainstorming.

Safety tips:

  • Only use special eclipse glasses; regular sunglasses aren't safe
  • Wait for 100% totality before taking off your eclipse glasses. (If you don't have eclipse glasses, wait for totality before looking at all)
  • Have a timer prepared on your phone set to the duration of the eclipse at your location, so you know when to put your glasses back on.
  • When the sun is mostly (but not fully) eclipsed, it will likely not feel painful to look at it, but it will still damage your eyes permanently.

Reminder that poor Gary Bowser was jailed for a year and owes 30% of his income to Nintendo for the rest of his life. He uses a wheelchair and has two kids.

It would be morally wrong to pirate all future Nintendo titles and pay the cover price to Gary's gofundme. Please don't do that.
