Jesus fuckin Christ. What a clown car of moronic yes men

Oof. That is bleak, and all the more so because you’re probably dead on

How is offering users the option to set a backup/recovery email a dark pattern?

A lot of models are being trained on “synthetic” data now, right?

Excited to see improvements coming for Linux port forwarding!

Pretty cool, good on ya Bitwarden

I wouldn’t say either party are the “good guys”, but the Republicans are the worse of the two, and it isn’t even close.

I’ve done this before with a laptop and KVM switch. It worked fine. YMMV depending on the dock and switch in question though. The only issue I ran into was needing separate cables for the mouse/keyboard and video from the switch to the dock.

One of my new favorites when trying to decide if something is worth doing - “Is the juice worth the squeeze?”

Wichita Lineman is excellent - “the first existential country song”

I am so happy I never need to do calculus again

Not an instance, but there is Bridgy Fed

I, too, enjoy being investigated by the USPIS

Where are you planning to go?

Fortunately, I have advanced degrees and an internationally recognized professional certification, and my partner is a doctor. I don’t imagine emigrating would be easy by any stretch, but I think we’d have better odds than if we didn’t have those credentials.

Good point on Canada. I’ve also been looking at Panama or Costa Rica. Europe may be an option (I work in clean energy and remember Macron’s outreach to climate scientists after Trump withdrew from the Paris Agreement), but may be harder.

Oh, and someone here reminded me: cannabis. Lots and lots of it.

I shudder to think about how poorly I’d be handling things if I didn’t have cannabis lol

I feel you on voting with your feet. I left beet-red Indiana for a Democratic-leaning swing state a few years ago. And yet, once you get outside the city by just a few minutes, it’s Trump signs everywhere. Doesn’t feel very reassuring.

It’s cliche to talk about moving to Canada after a US election, but I have started to collect my passport and papers and look at multiple countries for ease of entry, in case shit hits the fan.

What exercise plan, if any, are you following? I let my fitness slip pretty hard during COVID, and haven’t had good luck getting back into the groove with anything I’ve tried so far

Very true. And more easily said than done, unfortunately.

I used to be much more into meditation and reading Buddhist literature. I reflect on that time in my life as being happier and more peaceful (I was also exercising a lot more then too). I’ve started going to a yoga class a few times a month, but I wish I had an easier time getting back into the rest of it.
