When buying a laptop in 2026, you really need to consider how easy it’s going to be to keep it running with parts you’ve scavenged from other road-warriors.

But in 1945, for the first time since the age of Columbus, it was contracting.
So the point of this speech was: don’t make the mistake of fighting fascism again.
I just finished Normal People, which was my first Sally Rooney book. I loved it, but I wouldn’t say it had a lot of political theory, just light commentary by the characters. I take it you recommend Beautiful World?
I’m currently reading The Bricks That Built the Houses by Kae Tempest. It might be a good candidate, but I’m not far enough through to really recommend it yet.
Some that come to mind:


It obviously won’t work for everyone, but for remote access I’ve been very impressed with waypipe. I use it to pull windows from headless machines onto my main workstation, like X forwarding.
I’d like something for persistence, like wprs, but it’s not quite there yet.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Safety_Amendment#Platforms_affected https://www.esafety.gov.au/about-us/industry-regulation/social-media-age-restrictions/which-platforms-are-age-restricted
eSafety does not have a formal role in declaring which services are age-restricted social media platforms. In the absence of any rules made by the Minister of Communications specifying a service is either an age-restricted social media platform or not an age-restricted social media platform, any determination that a service is or is not an age-restricted social media platform is a matter for the court.
Services which do not currently meet the definition of ‘age-restricted social media platform’ should routinely self-assess, including when introducing a new social feature or function or when observing changes in the ways existing and new account holders are using their service.
So technically they need to self-assess based on the legislation, but based on the published lists I really doubt they have anything to worry about.


Yeah I’ve seen this a few times recently.
I think it might be https://github.com/LemmyNet/jerboa/issues/1711
Strange, I’ve never seen that. Have you rebooted the system to make sure it has nothing to do with open files?
I did find one thread that seems related:

btdu is an excellent tool for finding out what’s taking up space in btrfs


Were you running dmesg on another screen or over ssh or something? I’d look in journalctl -b-1 after a reboot.
Is it completely frozen or does it respond to pings etc?

It’s well worth reading the entire paper. It’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever read.


Probably not what you’re looking for, but it just occured to me that Ted Lasso might be the closest modern show to this sort of cosy/wholesome British sitcom.
Also if you want something really on the nose, I seem to remember enjoying Rev:

Edit: bonus recommendation for The Royle Family


I assume they’re going to use it to waste stupid amounts of electricity?
Lemmy format allows having an actual dialogue
It’s great for seeing existing dialogue, but I think it falls short for long term discussion between more than two people.
On a non-threaded board (e.g. forums, github issues) you can watch a thread you’re interested in. On Lemmy/reddit you only get notifications for direct responses to your comments.
I think some sort of option to watch/unwatch whole subtrees of comments would help a lot.


There’s something like that near me, but it’s a Five Guys clone. Seems like a good idea if you can get established locally. Small menu, nothing complicated.


The immigration rhetoric is largely kayfabe.
I think it’s the same with the tariffs. In fact, I think it’s the same with everything he promises. He’ll do a token amount of each horrible thing before he gets bored of it or it becomes obviously impractical (see: wall building).
Mostly he’ll just make everything slightly worse and do a lot of corruption for him and his friends. Just a little light kleptocracy.


I’d just count calories and reduce the amount per day until you’re losing weight.
The time of day you eat things shouldn’t really matter. This will also teach you really quickly how to feel full on minimal calories. For me I just try to eat something like raw carrots when I want a snack.
Is there a reason you’re suspicious about that particular dependency, or are you just asking about dependencies in general?
Still doesn’t sound very open.
I should be able to tell my bank to only trust devices running an OS signed by the grapheneos key, and more importantly I should be able to tell them to trust an OS signed by my key.
Edit: I don’t mean to shit on this too hard. It might be the best next step.
