What a cutie :)

My understanding is that the restriction comes from the great depression, when the government was worried about people poaching deer and decimating the population by hunting more than was allowed

And then we just never got rid of the exception.

Similar to how short rifles were restricted to create additional charges for bootleggers transporting alcohol during the prohibition, since being in a vehicle really benefits from having a shorter gun so bootleggers would cut length off their barrels so they could more easily handle their guns in the vehicle

Ahh, okay thanks for filling me in

Thats super interesting context, thanks for expanding on what they said!

How is that not assault with a deadly weapon?

What does make big rocks into little rocks mean?

Is it a known thing that they were dishonest about speaking to a lawyer with that situation?

I’ve been meaning to change instances and find a new home, if it’s known that they lied or mislead their users thats something I’d love to know more about

While it is good to have empathy and understanding for less technical folks, OP may be in a better position to know what is realistic for their family and level of support they can provide

I know this is kinda offtopic, but does anyone have some really accessible reccomendations for learning more about anarchist ideology?

I’m not really at a reading theory kinda point yet but I’d love to learn a little more

I mean linux distros are in effect kind of like a bunch of different OSes all based on the linux kernel.

It definitely would have been more helpful for them to describe it as a distro though

Glad you got it working!

If you’re knowledgable about CSS you could use the Stylish extension to customize websites, but given frutiger aero’s aesthetic, you’d probably have to add a bunch of images for ui elements, so I wouldn’t neccisarily expect it to be easy

Short of customizing stuff yourself, I think thats a really niche styling to be looking for, for already niche platforms. If you wanna check for other people’s CSS creations you can go to the userstyles.world site, or the older and I think now defunct userstyles.org, and search for mastodon, or any other sites you wanna check out themes for. There may not be many, customizing your websites with CSS stylesheets isn’t exactly a huge hobby, so the most themes are available for sites everyone uses (YouTube, Wikipedia, google, etc.). Any themes there you find could be used with the stylish extension, though it may require some extra work from the older site

As someone else who enjoys the y2k retro aesthetic, I hope you find something you enjoy :)

I hope people remember when they downvote you that if we cant critisize the things we love, they can’t improve.

Sincerely, a long time linux user who thinks we shouldn’t downvote literally anyone even mildly critical of linux, often doing so in a constructive way

Thats map is an incredible peice of history, great post. I’d be curious to see a more modern map made, since lynchings continued for a long time after then

Love seeing this acknowledged. So many of the societal harms we trace back to men and then we fail to engage with why men end up that way.

We do men and boys an enormous disservice by essentially raising them to be emotionally stunted and interpersonally dysfunctional. And then they grow up and they subject more boys to the abuse that was normalized to them- because hurt people inflict more hurt on others.

But if you say the word “patriarchy”, men who are deeply hurting under said patriarchy will disengage and treat the idea as a threat to be defeated because they, like everyone else, are a product of their socialization, and their socialization teaches them that of they fail to measure up to the rubric of masculinity, they are a failure, and that masculinity is the ideal. Questioning that is a non-option.

If you wanna address those societal harms you have to start by raising generations of healthier boys and men, and protecting them from the abuse that is the normal response when those men and boys try to learn how to engage with their emotions.

Shit makes me sad. And instead of engaging with men’s issues in addition to women’s, our government decides we should just stop engaging with women’s issues, because this admin is patriarchy incarnate. No questioning the status quo.

Man this sits at such a messy juncture in my eyes. I’d like folks to be safer. I don’t think policing is a great way to protect folks.

At the same time increasing the dependence on surveillance and tigher integration of surveillance with policing is not a solution without grim risks, that I think ought to be included in that conversation

Ah, neat that makes sense, thanks for explaining!

I dont know much about this situation, do you have source where I could read more about what valve has or hasnt contributed, and them only employing one person to work on proton?

What are cue sheets?

Wheres the revolution by depeche mode is pretty good :)
