What if they're shoplifting at my store?

lemmylem OP ,

Didn't mean it like that. The girl I just talked to came to me first. I really don't expect every girl to come of me but you're right regardless. I just was a bit sad.

lemmylem OP ,

Speaking of Linux, where can I find a woman who's into that? Defcon?

lemmylem OP ,

I have to be honest, this made my day

The healthiest relationships stem from natural friendships because you build up a base of stuff in common and have a lot of trust before you ever make the jump to "do you wanna go out with me?"

See, that's where I fucked up. My dumbass texted her at 12AM and asked if she wanted to hang out the next day (She's usually up around that time, we both goto the gym around 11PM, which is why I thought it was okay). But we had only talked around 4-5 times, each conversation we had was good, but when it comes to texting, I fail miserably there. I think I just got too excited to meet her, and was a bit too forward. I completely messed up. Well, now I know not to do that again at least, lesson learned :(

lemmylem OP ,

Yeah, she's gone lol, I mean I'm 20 and she was 29 with a 9 year old kid and that's not really what I want in a relationship. But oh my god she was easily the most attractive girl I've ever talked to, both in terms of looks and personality.

Yes, I install Libreboot myself with a RaspberryPi and Pomona 5250 testing clip. Anything that's already supported by Coreboot, can be supported to Libreboot. They have a list of hardware that they currently support listed here:

https://libreboot.org/docs/hardware/#supported-hardware

I actually sold Libreboot laptops previously on eBay, I used to sell the T440p a lot. Now, I'm about to setup my own website so I can start selling them for even cheaper. I also helped add Libreboot support for the Dell Optiplex 9020/7020 (Real thanks goto Mate Kukri, as I used his Optiplex port from Coreboot).

How do I setup my own FOSS shopping website for my business?

Hello, I don't have much experience in self-hosting, I'm buying a ProtonVPN subscription and would like to port forward. I have like no experience in self-hosting but a good amount in Linux. I'm planning on using Proxmox VE with a YunoHost VM. I already have a domain name from Njalla. I'm setting up a website for my computer...

Senate passes bill renewing key FISA surveillance power moments after it expires ( www.nbcnews.com )

"The House of Representatives had just passed Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. This legislation would permit the agency, without a warrant, to collect from Google and other US Big Tech companies the communications of Americans talking, e-mailing, or texting with non-Americans outside the country—in...

For people who have psoriasis/eczema/bad skin, how did you get rid of your dandruff?

I've been dealing with dandruff since I was a kid, it's always made me really insecure and always wear a hat. I've tried plenty of different hair products, none seem to work. It's not just my hair on my scalp, it's my beard as well. I'm a 19 year old male (Caucasian), I've been already deciding if I want to go bald or not. I...

Help me find this song

Hello, I've been looking for a song that I used to listen to for the past couple months. It was a rap song with I believe a fat Chicano man in front of a pyramid with a lowrider in front of it (I'm describing the album cover). Had a heart beep style beat like 'bum bum - bum bum bum - bum bum bum - beep' it was cool as shit. The...

lemmylem OP ,

Well, who else in the world has been trying to a pass multibillion dollar aid package to Ukraine for the past couple months? The aid is about to get voted on this weekend.

lemmylem OP ,

You right, my bad bro

lemmylem ,

Exactly, it's not crazy to think like that. I mean, the person who said that could be right, but still, let's not immediately jump to conclusions by saying they have mental issues.

lemmylem ,

Just vote for other people?

lemmylem OP ,

Yes, yes, and no.

It appears that the claim that half of Americans make under $35,000 is not accurate. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the median personal income in the United States for 2022 was $40,480​ (FRED - https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEPAINUSA646N)​. Additionally, data from DQYDJ shows that at the 40th percentile, income was approximately $58,001, suggesting that less than half of the population earns under $35,000​ (DQYDJ – Don't Quit Your Day Job - https://dqydj.com/average-median-top-household-income-percentiles/)​.

Furthermore, the median household income was reported to be $74,580 in 2022, a figure that significantly exceeds the $35,000 threshold​ (Census.gov - https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2023/demo/p60-279.html)​. This indicates that the median individual and household incomes in the U.S. are both higher than $35,000, disproving the initial claim.

They could've gotten it from trade school for free, some high schools offer it for no price. I'm 19 years old and I'm making $30/hour working in IT. I didn't go to tech school for computer networking though, I originally went for auto motive. I got my CompTIA A+ certification, and I also have my own electronics store on eBay where I sell Libreboot computers and other hardware (routers, switches, etc.).

lemmylem ,

Go to tech school (some high schools offer it for free), get a trade, start up your own business, etc.

lemmylem ,

I love everyone, just don't expect me to call you kitten, princess, or any other pronouns outside of he/him, she/her, they/them. That's basically where I draw the line. Other than that, do whatever you want.

lemmylem ,

Yes, it is. When I was in high school a couple of years ago, a substitute health teacher/activist came in for a week and taught a lot about transgender/gender issues. To be clear, I have no issues at all with transgender individuals or people who struggle with gender identity. But, lord, she unleashed the 'gender unicorn' on us, and I couldn't take it seriously. There were over 70 genders, including princess, prince, kitten, xe/xem, etc.

I believe what she did was actually illegal, akin to someone coming to a school to teach about religion. I'm okay with spreading awareness, but not like this. This was just different. I was being graded on this too, so I was basically forced to answer the questions without being able to object to anything.

Donald Trump shares image of Joe Biden bound and gagged ( www.seattletimes.com )

Former president Donald Trump disseminated on social media on Friday an image of President Biden with his hands and feet tied and his mouth gagged, the latest example of the Republican candidate’s use of increasingly violent rhetoric and imagery this campaign season....

lemmylem ,

At least post the picture

lemmylem ,

The person who posted this is definitely white. As a white person myself, I find this post amusing. Do you know why? It's because you're trying to validate yourself. Accepting who you are is essential, and posting this type of content won't help with that.

Pretending to be the 'good guy' is simply foolish. We're all flawed, but I believe most people try not to be. History has occurred, and all you're doing is dredging up its worst aspects. Move on.

lemmylem ,

I have no idea where you pulled that information from. I just love how you completely disregarded my comment and immediately went to politics for your defense. I hope you find acceptance from within.

lemmylem ,

The creators of MullvadVPN or their identities are not prominently disclosed, which means you have to trust them. For all we know they could be working with Swedish law enforcement.

I'm pretty sure Startpage got sold out to an ad company. I think the best option is just to use SearxNG

If you think this is only about TikTok, you bought into US propganda instead.

how can something be so courageous and yet so true ( slrpnk.net )

Edit: Jesus Christ, people. If you buy a $150 Thinkpad made by slave labor instead of a $1,200 MacBook made by slave labor, you're still supporting a capitalist economy based on slave labor. We all do. We have no choice. The number of smug liberals in the comments saying "well I buy a cheap used laptop" or "well I buy coffee...

lemmylem ,

If you're not running a Libreboot Thinkpad T500 with Hyperbola GNU/Linux installed, you're not a true socialist.

lemmylem ,

Exactly my first thought, this is a stupid meme.

lemmylem , (edited )

There are alternatives out there. That's all. If you want to say 'SMASH CAPITALISM', then don't pick the most garbage possible way to make your point. At the end of the day, your still buying/using them, especially from the most aggressively capitalist companies such as Apple and Starbucks. You could always sell off the laptop and gift card and support your local businesses instead. There are still local computer shops out there that sell off used hardware.

Also, I mean, you don't even need to be an expert to use Linux, it's rather simple actually, especially with AI at our fingertips. It's just the fact that they keep supporting the exact thing they despise, hence why it looks hypocritical. Do your part and stick to what you preach. It's like a person that eats at a all-meat resturaunt with a t-shirt on that says "Vegan".

lemmylem ,

Sure you're right. But, I'm still going to take my chances and say that she probably spent her own money lol
