When it comes to gatekeeping things, even gatekeeping support behind a lengthy explanation and hard to spot confirmation check, I would rather tell someone directly how to do exactly what they want, even if it means they learn nothing in the process. Sometimes I even just do the thing for the person instead of trying to show them how to do it themselves.
I just prefer the least painful solution in the short term. It's not like I'll remember tomorrow anyway.
Subtoot: Is it terrible that my primary concern with security schemes is "how much will it inconvenience me?"
FYI, OP has since been edited to include ALT text encompassing the entire post contents.
#clothes #womensclothing looking for dress suggestions for my mom. She has to buy dresses with a large waist, but short torso and short legs. She ends up buying 3X large dresses from catalogues, and they are barely large enough around the waist, but then end up being a length designed for a 6ft+ tall woman, and she has to pull up the hem to wear them. She needs that waist, but for a 5ft 2in woman. Does anyone know keywords or places to buy such clothing?
I will make this a blog post, but my attempt to use Windows a primary OS was put on hold by numerous nitpicks with the experience of running various software I use, which outweighed the problems I was having with Linux immediately prior to the switch.
possible ableism mention, ice cream person
So, I don't know where this came from, but someone in my extended family had picked up and/or started some tradition of referring to the roving ice cream trucks that patrol around cities with music playing, as "the village idiot". I can find no mention of this on the Googles, so it must be a very localized thing.
Please stop trying to meddle in my relationships. It won't change anything how you are expecting.
We got chased out of another community today because people just can't leave well enough alone. I guess people expect me to just dump my boyfriend for whatever reason they've cooked up for it, and get tired of us behaving the way we do. Oh well, guess we'll just burn more bridges.
Going offline for a bit, be back soon!
Facebook mention, @highlight spam
Cool, I found a new reason to hate Facebook. Apparently, if you post (at sign) and click on "highlight", it will spam a link to the comment to every one of your friends, including by email immediately after you do it.
What you don't know about this, as someone who has received this notification, is that most of the people who are still doing this shit heard about it via some "hack" that claims you can use this function to "hack" Facebook and find out who is "stalking" your profile without leaving likes or reactions.
Thanks for the extra engagement bullcrap, Zuck.
We fell short this month, and could really use about $60 USD. https://paypal.me/kode54 https://paypal.me/kddlb #mutualaid
Going down for a while for a motherboard upgrade, see you all on the other side!
Cool, I love our water delivery company. They were supposed to deliver on Monday the 4th. They emailed us at 7:01a on Saturday the 2nd to announce they were delivering on that Saturday. Then a minute later, they emailed "Sorry, we have changed your order date to Saturday the 2nd." They delivered within 30 minutes of the email. And because we didn't know in advance and don't usually get up until like 11:00a, they left our current default order of two 5g bottles and two 24ct flats of 500ml bottles. We were definitely not in need of 500ml bottles this week. Maybe it's time to look into a different company, or in-home reverse osmosis system.
Is there no place I can go to spread my suffering to others? I can’t seem to figure out how to stop following sources of suffering, so I need to constantly vent about it, and nobody seems to want me to kill their precious vibe.
My oldest brother is clearly a boomer, since he knows our dad has an email address, yet he sent photos to us. By mail. In a media mailer. Not a one of them labeled. Sure, we recognize him, and we can guess which one of them is his new squeeze and the child she is adopting, but we have no clue who the rest of them are. And he doesn't mention any of them in the single sheet letter he sent with the photos. I guess he has forgotten how to operate a Sharpie.
Cool, so I'm such a big dipstick, I didn't know that for some reason, Arch doesn't do auto resume of balancing of btrfs partitions on boot if you're using Dracut? And I also didn't know that you're supposed to resume balancing with btrfs balance resume and instead ran btrfs balance start which means I get to let my drives sit through another 24 hours of what they already spent the last 24 hours doing, in an estimated 48 hour balance job.

Mutual Aid, self
I have launched a GoFundMe to help acquire a new Mac mini to replace the one I purchased myself in 2021 and subsequently gave away a few months ago. The base goal is $1000 USD, though I would like to raise $1300 USD for the M2 Pro model, if possible. https://gofund.me/4bc9f506 #mutualaid #gofundme
How useful. #discord #batterykiller
