That authoritarian crackdown will lead to an even larger anti-auth response. The reality is that the anti-auths can see and raise any authoritarian escalation, just like France did ~250 years ago.
The ruling class needs to figure out how to step back from the precipice, and fast. Bread and circuses incoming.
The problem comes when a public school’s IT department is deciding whether to go with a FOSS option, or a commercial OS. As the IT team has full control over the FOSS OS, the school will be held liable as the OS provider. They will select a commercial OS to avoid liability under these idiot laws.
The hard working warehouse employees will be receiving unemployment. They just got several weeks of PTO.
The demolition and reconstruction is new work that will be going on for the next few years.
If I understand you correctly, you’re saying that the insurance industry is the underlying problem?
Who insures the insurers?
The meme isn’t about committing genocide with nuclear weapons. The meme is about having made a ridiculous and obscene ultimatum. It’s about his intimidation tactics. He tries to bluff his way through negotiations with outlandish threats, and looks like an idiot when anyone calls his bluffs.
If you don’t want to pay a living wage, hire something that is not alive.
It’s a lot easier to change lifestyles once society rids itself of the people who are getting rich from the current lifestyles.
“We” aren’t killing ourselves. “We” are being killed. And “We” know exactly who is doing all that the killing.
What the fuck are you expecting from me?

Just make sure you get that gaudy nightmare currently in progress on the east lawn.
Nobody earns “wages” of 1M/yr. When you get to that point, you’re paid in shares.
What we need is a securities tax, on all registered securities (stocks, bonds, financial instruments). That tax must be paid in shares of the security, not cash. An IRS liquidator will sell off those shares over time, such that the liquidated shares are never more than 1% of total traded volume.
Natural persons may exempt up to $10 million of their portfolio from this tax, making capital more valuable to the working class than the Problem Class.
“Bare minimum service” deserves “bare minimum wage”. Bare minimum wage is $7.25/hr.
Tipped workers earn as little as $2.13 per hour. So long as there are separate pay scales for tipped and non-tipped employees, tips are not for “beyond bare minimum” service. Legally, tips cover a large portion of the tipped worker’s minimum wage.
Until we eliminate the different pay scales, the bare minimum acceptable tip for bare minimum acceptable work is $5.12 per hour of the tipped worker’s time. Until we eliminate the tipped pay scale, you have two acceptable options: 1. Pay the tip; 2. Boycott businesses that use the tipped pay scale.
You do not have to pay a tip every time you are asked, but if you are not tipping, you must ensure that the workers serving are paid at least regular minimum wage. It is not acceptable to refuse a tip to someone paid as a tipped worker.
The fact that you can’t just throw stock pickup accessories on it is its biggest flaw. And that’s saying something, because it deliberately locks occupants inside when it catches fire.
My state is one that has recently adopted age verification requirements. Adult sites seem to be complying through IP geolocation, requiring users in my state to establish accounts. I think they are requiring a credit/debit card on file as evidence of age, but I cannot say that with any certainty.
VPN servers in less-oppressive jurisdictions bypass the account-creation requirement.
Let’s try this a different way…
How do you want to indicate something should be retained? What is the single, physical act you want to perform to tell the operating system “this thing needs to be captured”?
The screenshot folder itself is certainly not limited to just screenshots. Any file you can save can be kept in there. To my mind, the “entry point” is “saving a file to this particular folder”, regardless of the specific method used to do the saving. The screenshot is just an extremely convenient way to do that.
I just thought of a way to improve this technique with Tasker. Tasker can work with the clipboard, edit files, and take a screenshot. So, you could set up a gesture to trigger a task in Tasker. Tasker can then take the screenshot, dumping it into the folder. Tasker can then check the clipboard; if there is text in your clipboard, it can prepend it to a single “TODO.txt” in your screenshot folder.
Linux could be configured much the same way, using shutter and xclip to capture the screenshot and clipboard, respectively.
What always got me personally is exactly that — over time I’d end up with multiple “entry points” depending on context (screenshot, chat, browser, notes…).
So long as you’re manually processing everything, screenshots work for all of that. You can take a note in any text box anywhere, and screenshot it. Chat message? Screenshot. Browser? Screenshot. Notes? Screenshot. You can even take a photo and then screenshot it to capture it into your workflow.
I have Shutter (apt install shutter) on my desktop, and I’ve changed the Print Screen key to shortcut to “shutter -s”. This lets me capture an area of my screen with one button (and a mouse drag). Bam, more screenshot.
The downsides of screenshot are obvious, of course: Extracting the text from the screenshot is a bit of a pain in the ass. If you really want to keep the same entry point, though, you could setup a script to OCR newly captured screenshot/photos to extract the text. An OCR-friendly font might make that pretty reliable.
Now I want to improve my setup…
