It's 2026, there's no longer an excuse for phone companies being unable to figure out who's paying for the phone line. Make them liable if they can't figure out where the call came from.

As much as it would hurt charities, removing the tax deduction for donations of any kind feels necessary at this point.

Annoyed at slow release processes since I want this but I also hate the risk of crapping up my system by adding a new source. It'll be a dog's age before I can get it on a stable version of Ubuntu, but I've had so much trouble installing big corpo programs I need on anything but Ubuntu stable that I'm afraid to leave it.

Reintroduces, really. Iirc it was originally made for plasma 5 and and was broken by changes in Plasma 6. This is "we fixed the stuff we broke".

While this community is very low-traffic and I don't want to start blocking willy-nilly, I want to quote the sidebar:

World News for Canadians, with preference for articles that provide Canadian perspectives and sources.

This is https://lemmy/ dot ca /c/WorldNews. The intent was always that this would be about providing a Canadian perspective to the world's happenings. People who are primarily just crossposting sites that have no Canadian connection are invited to do so on other World News communities throughout the Lemmy fediverse. There are very many of them, but AFAIK this is the only "World News For Canadians" community.

git is just the source control. Pull requests, web front-end, a central server that is a single point-of-truth with policy enforcement, issue management, etc. do not come in the box with git.

GitHub provides that, as do Gitlab and others. GitHub is a Microsoft product, and MS is getting scary with the AI push.

The way people turned up their nose at the Fediverse when the Muskening happened to Twitter was heartbreaking. I knew social media was an addiction but when you find out your dealer is an absolute monster how do you not go looking for a new supplier?

But they all discarded Mastodon et al as cringe and teduoust. Like, the way even trans women influencers stayed on Twitter blew my mind. When bluesky got off the ground there was finally some migration, but not enough.

It really showed me how many of the "anti-capitalist" and the "anarchism" and "mutual aid" people were all just talk. The mutual-aid volunteer-based platform exists and you stuck with the fascist because it was easy and you're too cool for the nerd shit.

They're only useful in very specific scenarios, because they can have very few stops, aren't very fast, and people don't like them over their yards.

For GTHA where we don't have a lot of mountains or islands and what we do have has established roads? Just. Build. A. Train.

Right? I don't want an AI chatbot, I want a natural language oral shell scripting language with APIs for all the major services I use and good verbal man pages. The AI can be a separate tool on a separate hotword that I'll probably only ever use to ask for help debugging the other one.
