@dirtycommo Excuse me, but the letter X gives me and 0.000001% of the population moderate anxiety due to being alien abduction survivors. Please use a CW in the future. It’s just a suggestion. But if you don’t I’ll discourse about you to all my followers and then you’ll be sorry.
@dirtycommo Madness. We are skipping toward a Dantean climate inferno, full of computer lobotomized human cattle, herded by unflinching drone slave soldiers of capitalist oligarchy. At this point? I’m ready to just sign on for you communists give it another go. Why not.
I’m not letting Faceborg nor Elon Douchebag Musk nor the little Mengeles likely puttering around the ARPA / NSA basement scan my brain. That’s just not on.
Hey, I'm thinking of buying a ~$200 little fanless PC to run as an anyways on home server. Anything in particular I should know about specs or requirements?
I'm pretty much looking for something that can host a Mastodon / Minecraft / etc server so I can keep them running without letting my PC go 24/7.
@zigg It was explicitly so, with a major strategic imperative of labour activism to secure a well paid single earner for every household who need only work 40 hours in a safe environment. Patriarchy aside, it wasn’t a bad waypoint. Better this than before, when both parents worked, women as factory girls or laundresses or whathaveyou, and still had patriarchy anyway.
And even this waypoint is gone. 40 hour weeks have been a vague rumour for most families for a long while now.
@dirtycommo If you have means and patience, I strongly recommend Native Seeds Search, a USA clearing house and distro centre for tasty heirloom varieties which primarily works to support indigenous communities in the Americas to preserve and reboot native agriculture. Pretty sure they ship overseas and most ought to be happy in Perth. Do watch for root rot in a bucket; lots of gravel in the bottom eh.
@Alexis I have a big commemorative folio of Barks’ Uncle Scrooge Adventures which I heaps recommend more than Donald Duck. Don’t have it with me right now, but I don’t recall any stories that icky.
But of course Disney has a long regrettable record of such. Have you seen Peter Pan? I came across it again recently, having completely forgot the “What Makes the Red Man Red” song... Yikes.
@Alexis You are quite right of course... I just feel sad to speak majority languages in places with a minority language too much. I try to support the local language a bit especially if it is threatened or endangered. And my poor little brain has a lot of language marbles rolling around in it. Next time in EU I do hope can camp a bit in Fryslan to see the tulips and then will try to learn.
Haha, listening to a Frysk version of Beatles’ song Let It Be right now.
@Alexis I do hope so, that the country is well protected for a while. But if the west Antarctic ice sheet goes fast, as looks more likely, you’ll have some trouble quickly. But no doubt you are better off than say, Louisiana or Bangladesh thanks to genius NL engineering.
Thank you for being patient with my Frisian fangirl fascination. What should people abroad know about Fryslân? Do you often discuss Frisian issues as a minority nationality in NL and EU?
@Shufei I'm sorry to say no resources come to mind that don't involve, like, growing up here, or at least speaking Dutch to begin with -- if there's English-Frisian textbooks or sites, I wouldn't be able to vouch for them.
@Alexis I don’t suppose there are any ways to learn Frysk from Chinese either... It is frustrating.
I’m listening to a cute Frysk/English bilingual song on Frysk Top 100 called Friesland I’m Coming Home. It is very heartfelt and nice they made it bilingual.
@Alexis Aww, there ought to be a way to learn Frysk from English... There must be others abroad who want to learn Fries. Frisians can be proud of your ancient culture and ability to persevere through the ages. And with the cutest lil heart shape lilypad flag ever made, you have great “branding.” 💕 What do you think of the state of Fryslân in our era? Are you quite afraid of sea level rise?
Thanks for the Omrop Fryslân! I am hearing several different sounding dialects already.
@lesbianhacker SO - there are loads of tools for all the popular linux distributions in DEB and RPM formats, but since i run gentoo, i am going with the most popular for gentoo, which is 'bluefish'
