Soon the arbiters of actual facts will be so broke they can’t afford to peddle them anymore. Only those with financial incentive to shape truth will be providing “facts.”

AI will likely be their greatest hammer.

Aww :(

So is it still 4%?

The biggest banks profited the most from 2008.

The acquired a LOT of assets for very cheap because folks were selling all they had to try and keep a roof over their heads.

The ones who failed to keep a roof over their head lost their homes… To the bank

The 1% cried because number went down. The 99% cried because they were losing their retirement, health insurance and homes.

Drug abuse spiked hard among the bottom who lost everything

WRONG! It’s to makes us think more about things that ain’t real and are beyond yas control and less about how you’s getting screwed by the billionaires and how you got leverage against them

Good news! You’re about to learn about for-profit prisons and how racism is very profitable for shareholders, especially in how it suppresses wages and keeps poor people fighting other poor people instead of forming unions…

Maybe not right now tho. I’m done poo… Uhm I’m about to do something other than googling “prison industrial complex” and “how racism effects unionizing”

Thanks for these insights.

Us newbs have much to learn

Is there bad advise on there?

I skimmed it and there’s lots of good advice I think.

I’m no security expert and this is an honest question.

“…after Nobel snub”?! I guess I was snubbed too. Does that mean I can thwack the dipshit who decided to call the Nobel committee’s decision ‘a snub’ in the nuts?

I’m gonna start calling out the NHL not awarding me the Stanley Cup a snub

Assuming you’re a hobbyist who wants to play games, CatxhyOS or Mint would be my suggestion

I like Ubuntu too, but Snaps can be annoying with permission weirdness and odd errors that usually stem from their sandboxing system. To be clear the sandboxing is good in theory, but I tried using the Blender to edit a file I got from a friend and I ran into permissions issues. I ended up deleting the snaps and installing from command line and it was so much better.

Installing blender without the app store is still super easy…

sudo apt install blender

Well done, good sir!

May I join you in the sub 200 club soon

No way that’s real. Tell me it’s not real

I’ll have to look at my fail2ban logs and see if I’m having similar issues.

It should be possible to mod your jail to whitelist an IP range on your local Network.

I’m doing that on one of my jails.

Does this apply to podman as well?

I’m a big fan of Sublime. It’s powerful while also good at getting out of the way

It’s kinda a pain to use 'cause so many apps rely on Google services, so those need to be replaced with alternatives, but e/OS is installable and is supported by Fairphone

You probably already do, but if you need SSH, use crowdsec, SSHGuard or fail2ban to help filter bot nets.

I have IPs hitting from all over the world, trying logins all the time. Like several per minute, I can only imagine what it would be like if I wasn’t blocking IPs with multiple failed login attempts.
