Those "Windows 10 is going to be unsupported soon" articles make the crucial mistake of believing that people who run Windows 10 (released in 2015) care if they run an unsupported OS. Those tech writers have witnessed people not move away from Windows XP or Windows 7 and yet they are still full of dreams.

I have facebook dot com blocked at the DNS level but I still have an Instagram account which I use to keep in touch with some people, post stuff I cook and watch capybaras and rock hyraxes. Could move some of my contacts to @signalapp and post my cooking stuff on @pixelfed
This leaves us with the hyrax videos. Maybe it's possible to have a bot auto-publish them to @loops
Instagram would probably want to block it but hey, this is the world we live in now, we have to pirate Instagram reels...

We are so fucked. Most Americans have the political maturity of an 8 year old. And Europeans here are gloating and being generally unhelpful. Those from the UK, France or Italy have nothing to gloat about, tbh.

I hope this piece of advise can be as useful to others as it was to me.
Consider Trump, Musk, their actions.
Now consider yourself. Things you are ashamed of or have a feeling of guilt toward to.
Now put things into perspective and realize that whatever you feel guilty of is literally nothing compared to the actions of the richest man alive or the future POTUS.
Live a guilt free life. Nothing you can do will ever be as bad a those guys.
It's liberating.

Playing games on Linux is pretty much a given these days but if you're a BSD user, don't despair because you still have access to classics such as:
factor: factor a number
fortune: displays a random silly message
morse: output morse code
pig: output text in Pig Latin
pom: display the phase of the moon
rain: attempts to create a rain drop effect (best at 9600 baud)
wtf: translate acronyms, e.g. "wtf is WTF"

At first, I thought it was a lesser known Python package, pyscreeze, that had a hard dependency on gnome-screenshot for screenshots on Wayland but no, this behavior is implemented in the widely popular Pillow package.
gnome-screenshot doesn't work on Plasma, + it has other quirks like a forced flash effect.
I have a patch ready for pyscreeze to add support for Plasma with Spectacle and Gamescope with gamescope-dbus but I might as well open an issue on the Pillow tracker to ask what's up.

So are we going to spend the whole year hearing about Meta/Google/OpenAI/X/etc's bullshit or are we going to tell them to fuck off and live our own lives and build our own shit and be happy?

I've looked into it and tried to find solutions online but couldn't find anything satisfying so there's what I came up with:
gently pick up both drives and the one without any gyroscopic force in it is the one to power cycle.
Only works with HDDs but it's the best solution so far.

Tricky #Linux Question:
When you unmount a USB drive in Dolphin, it seems to remove it from the connected USB devices.
I have 2 Western Digital USB drives, one of which is mounted and in use and the other unmounted and I want to remount it.
I don't want to power cycle the wrong drive, how can I do this from the command line?

You could ask yourself: is there a group of people even more useless than the anti-systemd crowd? And the answer is yes, there is. Or at least there was!
Around 2007, a group more or less affiliated with the website TechRights started a drama about usage of Mono. They would harass Banshee or Tomboy users, they would make up stupid shit like the Microsoft police entering your home and waterboard you. It started from nothing and went nowhere.

If the United States are unwilling to impose any kind of gun regulation, they should at least try to find a way to redirect shooters from schools to CEOs since this has proven to be insanely more popular in the public eye.
It's also a win for the NRA, they should support such an initiative.
