Ok, so many things to unpack here. First, it’s important to remember that these kinds of issues are very much systematic. You can’t point your finger at one person or even one state and say that they are the issue. The issue here is deep seated racism in the United States, legalized slavery that is literally written into the US constitution. And Alabama being a poor state filled with uneducated people is not those people’s fault. It again comes back to racism and other huge issues of inequality. It’s best to have some curiosity. Why is Alabama full of these issues? Is it because people are different there? Probably not, it’s not like evolution works that fast on a geographic area that isn’t isolated. So you have to ask why, and look for the self perpetuating power dynamics. Second, insulting one group of people by referencing another group using a slur damages both groups. People with intellectual and developmental disabilities are vulnerable to discrimination and exploitation. Let’s not try to solve the problem of racism by deepening the problem of ableism. We have to work on it all at the same time. Power structures arise because one group exploits vulnerabilities in another. When you put down a whole group of people, it is likely because you feel that lack of powerlessness that comes with being in a hierarchy, and you’re acquiring power for yourself by rendering others less powerful than you. This isnt a moral failing on your part, instead, I would say that it’s an ineffective strategy that only serves to further entrench the hierarchy and your place in it. Instead, let’s work to equalize everyone, lifting up everyone to the same height.

OK thanks for listening.

What was difficult was the constant security checks, it happened like every time I changed devices and occasionally things were encrypted and unable to be read, it felt totally unusable. It’s true that I don’t quite get docker, I have a few services that run on dcker, but most of them run straight on arch. Yes I know arch isn’t ideal for servers, I’ll fix it next summer during school break

I tried running a matrix server last year. I guess I will try again and see if a normie like me can make it somewhat usable.

Google Wave was the last great Google product

Lol. For kids I won’t self host, I’ll pay for someone else to host

I’m a woman who does some self hosting. Hi.

Okay, we’ll I’ve been using vaultwarden. When should I switch to something new, and what’s a good alternative?

Last year my wife said “most games can be run on Linux now because of steam deck, I think I’ll switch to Linux” and I said “well I guess I’m switching too” so I un-installed windows, and I’ve been full time since, even starting to self host jellyfin and nextcloud. She and I have both done linux in the past, but gaming was what was holding us back. There wasn’t anything WRONG with windows per se , except maybe the looming threat of windows 11, I just really love linux, open source, and being able to easily lift up the hood to peek inside

I use arch BTW. And Debian, my first love.

Agreed, this is generally true, though personally as a trans woman, I prefer to refer to my child self with gender neutral terms. Others can refer to my child self with my current pronouns, or with gender neutral pronouns.

And I’ve seen plenty of the older square sizes still being sold, so it’s still necessary to mark the different sizes

Even if you tilt the picture so the world outside is right-side-up, the cabinets are still not right

This is only unpopular because you are so broad about it. How about “teaching that there is one true religion and anyone who is not part of that religion is wrong and will suffer is child abuse”

Thank you!

Thanks!

Took me a minute to figure out this is a keyboard. Awesome, I’m looking for a good keyboard now. How do i install this on my phone? I don’t see it on fdroid or play store.

I use it in my nextcloud. I really like it. I tried to use libreoffice, but I didn’t like it.

Oh, I misread your comment, my bad.

Not true - faxes are widely in use in Healthcare due to hipaa rules

A better idea is to go to irs.gov and use their free file wizard to see which service is free for you. I used 1040.com this year. Last year I used freetaxusa.com, but this year that would not have been free for me due to my change in income. Which service is free depends on your state, income, and income complexity.
