Almost universally, any time there’s a power vacuum (whether in the first larger-than-tribes societies, or in societies where state power has become weak), the first authority figures that fill the power vacuum are dicks

wielding real power, in ways that feel quite uncomfortable.

Yes, it’s called feeling guilty about others calling out your attitude. Most people who aren’t power seeking assholes experience that feeling regularly and have learned to deal with it.

Couples therapists say they can tell within a few minutes if a couple is worth working with or not: if it’s anger they’re displaying, then that’s something that can be worked through. If it’s dismissiveness, all hope is lost.

Imagine getting told by a couples therapist that they can’t see your relationship working out… And then you go on a big rant saying how you should still be together?

Flatpak creates a “fake” home directory as part of its sandboxing. So what firefox sees as /home/mario is actually /home/mario/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/. At least on Mint, might be different in debian?

Are you sure you have the right folder? Does ~/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/.mozilla exist?

cache suggests you’ve only moved your cached data, not your profile.

I mean, you’ve always got that risk. Even on Mastodon, a big instance can kill smaller ones by defederating with them. Or Mastodon.social could just decide to implement extensions that are hard for other instances to use.

Mint for my desktop system. It just does exactly what I want it to, has good compatibility with software and Cinnamon is my DE of choice.

NixOS for my server, because being able to use one config repo and format for everything is so nice.

Hey, you should be careful around Ubuntu fans. They might just snap.

I think it was a forced buyout on Musk’s part, so Jack Dorsey didn’t really have a say in it (beyond listing it on the stock market which… Eh, I guess you could blame him for that). According to wikipedia, he doesn’t seem to own any part of it now.

But anyway, it’s federated so I guess that should limit the damage done by any shenanigans.

Unless it has changed recently, Docker is not intended to be a security layer as far as I know.

Firstly, if you’re worried about this, speak to whoever is running the sessions. I could speculate as to what works and what doesn’t, but if you are in contact with a trained person who has seen you many times now, they can probably give you better advice than internet strangers.

I see a counsellor, which I know isn’t the exact same thing, and I’ve definitely broken down and started crying in some sessions. And yes, it feels like shit. And yes, it hurts. I have a habit of retreating and hiding from stressors, and having to face them is rough.

However, anything you talk about is likely already in your head anyway. Taking about it lets it out in a safe way, because otherwise it just kinda builds up and festers… Which is even worse.

If you are neurodivergent though, it might be worth looking for a specialist that handles adhd therapy. I know at least for autism, regular cbt doesn’t work. Don’t know if that’s the same for adhd and whatever therapy you’re doing.

As I understand it, the problem that both Nix and Docker try to solve is “How do I bundle and run this application in such a way that its dependencies are explicitly specified and don’t interfere with anything installed on the host system”.

They have different approaches, but I think that goal is the same?

I don’t know if I’m “supposed” to do it or if it’s a massive resource waste, but I’ve been shipping basic goods like plates, gears, steel and basic circuits. It just seems so efficient to use the lava for all my forging.

Honestly, since getting into NixOS, I’ve found that much more of an elegant system than Docker or whatever.

If you’re a furry Linux user, you’re only allowed to use desktop backgrounds of Xenia. :P

Assuming you’re serious and I’m not being whoosed, remember that Linux is a tool, not a cause. Many use Linux because they like Linux, not because they want to purge all non-free things from their life.

I’m of the opinion that a lot of the “problems” with autism come from societal issues and lack of education rather than an innate thing.

Everyone has problems they need to work through. It’s just that autistic people don’t get the support they need.

Remember you can dual boot. You can keep the Windows install around on a separate partition for when you need to use it.

I play Stellaris, Stardew and Slime Rancer on Linux, and they seem to work last I’ve tried.

… It really is a shame that they still make it seem that being autistic is a problem…

If they found that it increases your chances of being gay or something, I’m sure their language would be much more respectful (if they published it at all).

I just want another 3D game where you actually play as Tails. Like, no mech. Just like Sonic levels but you can fly.

Had a friend look into it, he downloaded out and said that yeah, it was a microtransaction gacha game.

A few days later he showed me that he got a fancy charizard.

It’s important we do it that way for our 🌟brand identity🌟.

In his defense, it isn’t really a fishing game without bait.
