...How are they able to continue providing these but not maintain the Bridge Access Program for the uninsured? 🤨

Is there an AcademicDictionary in the vein of Urban Dictionary for all the jargon and filler patterns?

What are shitboxes?

Dr. Jill Stein has improved the Green Party; y’all just believe anything the duopoly and owner-class media spit out when it agrees with your thinking.

In what ways, alongside the one point mentioned, and according to what sources (presumably not from the party itself)?

Appreciate the thoughtful reply! I can see where you're coming from in terms of opening TLDs up creating a bunch of issues, even though I do still enjoy the more playful ones despite that.

It's honestly a little surprising that so many have been made available given the issues it can present, but I think that's largely a byproduct of approaching the internet less from a rigidly structured perspective and more of a loose informal perspective.

do you think you'd be able to tell if it was instead a massive homelab run by the microorganisms in your house?

Personally, the childish side of me will always get a kick out of .wtf in a website name.

And even though this is lemmy, when I searched for “Ubuntu Help”, there’s no community named that. There’s also no community named “Linux help”. Which I find very very odd. Lemmy of all places you’d think would have a linux help community!

Have you been by [email protected] yet? Nevertheless, this community should work just as well.

There's also [email protected] or a community with the same name on Lemmy World. When specificity in a search fails, falling back to broader/more basic terms may help (e.g. searching for Ubuntu or Linux).

Is this part of your sibling goofing routine?

Why is this all so convoluted and, seemingly, legal? Is this purposely convoluted to obfuscate illegal activity?

Covert? Isn't India one of few countries consistently and unabashedly trading with Russia? Is this covert in the open secrets sense?

 

Sometimes what I'm interested in may be more specific or niche, but a lot of search engines and filtering systems don't seem to provide a way to drill down to those results. What may be some reasons behind that?

Or am I overlooking some obvious ways to search/filter this way?

Brogue's a more up to date spin on the classic game Rogue, with some slight modern touches to make it more approachable to newcomers while keeping to the spirit of the original.

 

Stuff could be anything, digital or physical, but the idea is of discussing and doing it as a hobby without any pressure or push to make it a business or side-gig. Nothing against that, simply that communities/groups with that atmosphere are easy enough to find as-is.

 

If sociology's exclusive to humans, then what might be the field of other social animal research?

 

There's probably a different word for it, but linkhole like rabbithole.

You went to this one site, and it mentioned some other site, and they kept your interest and kept linking on to others and you've surfaced just long enough to share here.

 

I was working on some stuff on my PC and stepped away for a bit, and on returning noticed notifications on it that some files had been downloaded via KDE Connect from my phone. I was using my phone at the time, and didn't send the files.

I know that you can quietly download files from a phone with its paired device (i.e. no notification on the phone, nor prompting permission) from allowed directories, but these files weren't from those directories, so...What may have happened here?

Glitched notifications, or something else?

Also, the downloaded files weren't anywhere on my PC, so... 😕

edit:
I found an issue report I think may be what I was seeing: KDE Connect spams the desktop with a torrent of old notifications.
