Many of those countries also have rules for people without ID. Get someone who has an ID to vouch for you and it's all good. I mean, what fool is going to risk their freedom for ONE vote?

Wow. I might have the same model. What distro are you running?
I'm running Ubuntu Budgie Jellyfish. My biggest gripes are battery life and notifications (only low battery warning I get is the screen flickering 1 min before it dies at around 5% power), video (maybe once a month the screen will go black and I can't do anything but hard reset), and Wi-Fi (5G connection is much more likely to drop than 2.4G if I'm between APs). Might be a bit of a lemon since I had to get the mobo replaced in like the first 2 weeks.

Interesting project. Thanks for the share. Just saying Ansible is a more "general purpose" tool, almost a programming language, to configure most anything, not just desktop environments.

Maybe this is just I dream I had but wasn't there some kind of regulation at one point that said news orgs (or departments) couldn't make a profit?

Not that it would eliminate every shell command but you should learn Ansible. This is what's it's built for.

You'd also assume that border counties are overwhelmingly Republican because of illegal immigrants causing so much crime and using so many government services without paying. The border is where most of the blue counties are.

I mean I want to read the truth so I'm sorry I took the article, which someone else shared, at face value:
The legislation came as many farmworkers continue to labor in unsafe conditions and Cal/OSHA confronts a severe staffing shortage that is hampering its ability to enforce heat regulations for outdoor workers.
But nearly two decades after the rules were first enacted, ensuring compliance has remained challenging.
A 2022 study by the UC Merced Community and Labor Center found that many farmworkers were still laboring without the protections. Of more than 1,200 workers surveyed, 43% reported that their employers had not provided a heat illness prevention plan and 15% said they had not received heat illness prevention training.

Could be that not every pond is big enough. I thought fishing power was the really determining factor (I almost always fish with 125 power or more). I thought about the biomes issue but it was never a problem for the longest time. If I'm in a snow biome that was taken over by hallow does that not count as snow anymore? That could be the only noticeable change, that I have few "pure" biomes right now in my main world.

There should be regulation around use of the word "news". Many of these stations call themselves "News Radio" as if they only reported verifiable facts, but well over 50% is opinion.

The article seems to have more points in favor of the vetoed bill than against it. It didn't say OSHA would have a diminished role in the process but it did say thus far OSHA has been lacking in it's duties. The biggest opponents to the bill have been business interests so it seems like this would've been a net benefit to workers.

I have two sons with special needs (one mental and one physical) and it actually seems quite reasonable to say that our bodies don't always do everything according to plan (DNA). Why is it so hard to believe the body and mind are at odds with each other?

So the company pays a "fee" for working people possibly to death and the workers get to spend more recovery time undoubtedly filling out lots of paperwork and making a dozen calls? Bold move Cotton.

NGL it is reassuring and even a bit motivating to see the signs when you're in a red or purple state.
I had a vague recollection the other day of a comedy bit but not sure where I saw it. The bit was basically two people sitting down at a table playing an overly simplified version of Chess or checkers. One person moved the piece and said "check" and the other moved it back and said "checkmate". I want to say it was either Mork and Mindy, 3rd Rock from the Sun, or Red Dwarf.
First, I know it's an API thing and not a Tasker issue. However, this sucks balls. I don't use Tasker often because I have battery life issues but I'll be damned if I go to use it and find that Google fucked it up. Can I get this function back if I root my phone or run an alternate OS like Graphene? I'm edging ever closer to have a fully customized and controlled device for personal use and a standard, locked-down device for work.
I'm incredibly close to pulling the trigger to make WattOS my new distro for my netbook. I've been using antiX for a while and it's really great overall but the lack of systemd has worn me down I feel. A few programs I want to use just don't work properly without systemd and I don't have the patience to fill in the gaps myself. My only real concern with WattOS is the fact it seems so mysterious. There's very little info on their site and NO LICENSE OR SOURCE CODE OR REPOSITORY! I highly doubt Russia or China are trying to weasel their way into old AF computers to create a botnet but I've never seen a Linux project be so secretive. Anyone else have some light to shed on this project?
I usually avoid sentinels unless I need pugneum but this last encounter I had was ridiculous. I killed 3-4 of them after stealing some Gravitino balls then of course reinforcements were inbound. I get in my ship and fly off and 10 seconds later an interceptor wa on me. My ship didn't have a good combat loadout and I couldn't escape it so I landed. Of course more ground units came so I started running. 7 minutes later they're still chasing me and I don't even see them. I was even running underground for at least 30s. A message kept coming up saying to destroy them to get a chance to escape so I waited for them to catch up and destroyed them. More reinforcements arrived in like 15s and spawned right next to me. How the hell could I escape that? So I got back to my ship and started looking for shelter because another interceptor was on my tail. I found one quickly before taking any hits and got in. Well, no timer came up, they were still just there, albeit really far away. I pretty much had to stand outside, wait for them to come into visual range, then run back to the shelter and THEN the search timer started. Oh, and more than once my alert level went up without shooting anything, just running around and hiding. Is this how it normally works? Any better way to approach this so I don't waste 20 mins of game time? Edit: more details about the chase Update: Having a run-in with more sentinels it seems like behavior has changed (again, maybe bugged). Going underground they didn't follow or attack but also never dispersed. Running into a building without a door (Abandoned Building) doesn't disperse them but they don't attack. I was able to shake them once by transitioning from ship to on-foot (a timer starts every time you transition it seems) then jumping into water *before* the sentinels arrived. I'm sure it also works to pop out of a hole and defeat every wave but I'm not very into that kind of thing.
Couldn't find the project in my browser history or Lemmy saves. I'm pretty sure it was Lemmy though that led me to find a GitHub project similar to OSTree. It sounded like it was maintained by one person and it hasn't been updated in a long time because the author thought it was "done" and they used it frequently. It was a tool that let them basically create images that could be booted from and it was easy to layer software on top of a base image and I think there were config files similar to Containerfiles but didn't look the same. Don't think it be was "goldboot" either but that might be a little closer to what the project does. I don't think it was something Fedora specific either like bootc. **Update**: Found it! It was in the history of a laptop I rarely use (of course). The project is https://github.com/godarch/darch and it does appear to be those things I said: layered, docker-like, bare metal, and OS agnostic.
I just pulled down the latest Firefox Dev Edition AppImage and still getting the same result. I try to login to GitLab and I get an endless loop of checking whether I'm human or not. I tried to turn off tracking protection for GitLab and Cloudflare and added both to accept all cookies. In the network tab it eventually shows 403s. Anyone else have this happen or know if I can disable any more safety/privacy features to get it working?
Been waiting for it to go on sale and figured my son might like it since he plays Minecraft a lot. Wondering if I gotta watch out for in-game purchases though (can I require password for purchases?) and online interactions (def don't want him chatting with others). It is seems pretty hack and slash but if a lot of reading is involved maybe he's too young for it (6 ½). Edit: Sorry, meant to say Dungeons, not Legends.
I've looked at a lot of other immutable distros and I might just end up using one of those, but I feel like taking on a bit of a challenge and there's a few things I'm not very keen on with existing solutions (last paragraph is my idea if you want to skip the context). Most immutable systems I've seen require a reboot in order to apply system changes. What is this, Windows? Yeah, reboots are quick but restoring my windows and getting back into my groove is not quick. Also, every immutable OS I've seen wants you to opt-in to a rollback. Rarely do I see the full effects of installing a package or altering a config immediately. By the time I notice an issue maybe it's too late to rollback to before the change or maybe I've done a few other things since and I don't want to rollback everything. I would much prefer to make "rolling forward" or persisting changes to be a very conscious process. I started messing with BTRFS and I think I've come up with a process that will get me what I want, no matter the distro. Please poke holes in my idea. So I think I can use BTRFS to hold data for the rootfs in three different subvolumes (at minimum): root-A, root-B, root-Z. root-Z is my golden image and it represents what I want root to look like after reboot. root-A and root-B are the active and passive instances of rootfs, but which one is active will flip-flop after every reboot. So if I boot with A, B gets replaced with the contents of Z. In the meantime I can do whatever I want with A. Not sure how I'll update Z (chroot or "promote" the active subvol to be Z) but without an update every reboot is an automatic rollback. Thoughts?
This stuff moves so fast I really can't keep up and a lot of the research posted here goes a bit over my head. I'm looking for something that doesn't seem too out of the question given things like [CLIPSeg](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/model_doc/clipseg). Is there some tool or library out there that will accept an image and a prompt and then generate a mask within the image that generally corresponds to the prompt? For example, if I had a picture of an empty park and gave the prompt "little girl flying a kite" I should get back a mask vaguely in the shape of a child with a sort of blob mask in the sky for the kite. Of course from there I could use the mask to inpaint those things. I would really like to be able to layer an image kind of like Photoshop so it's not all-or-nothing and focus on one element at a time. I could do the masking manually but of course we all want fewer steps in our workflows.
Couple of things for me. One is tiny croutons. I don't see them anywhere anymore. They taste the same but it's kind of a pain sometimes to keep the big ones on your fork. The small ones were a little more satisfying to snack on too. Second is Blue Nehi. Never met anyone else that's tried or heard of it. Damn it was good though. Big Blue is kinda similar but those always taste under carbonated.
Official docs say it's for > Packages that are only needed for local development and testing. Umm, okay. Not 100% clear there. Some articles mention things like ESLint or Jest (k, I'm onboard there) but others mention Babel or WebPack. I get that you don't *need* WebPack libraries to be loaded in the browser but how the hell do you bundle up your code without it? When you use `npm ci` or `npm install` you'll get all dependencies but isn't it good practice (in a CICD environment) to use `--omit=dev` or `--only=prod`?
Do I have to do some special search query? My favorites tab shows posts only.
I just went through airport security and was quite surprised how easy it was (relatively speaking). Didn't have to go through a body scanner, didn't have to separate liquids, didn't have to take out my laptop, and my boarding pass wasn't even scanned. Did some rules change? Is their thoroughness related to terrorist threat levels?
I've seen FAQs and troubleshooting pages that say clean the contacts with alcohol, and that works, but I seriously have to do that every time I run it. The only other thing that will work is jamming something under the Roomba to lean it onto the charging contacts. Is it a crappy base? Are there any diy tricks to give the base better contact?
My son dropped his Switch Lite in the toilet and the battery life seems worse than before. I'm thinking of doing the replacement myself but I'm curious how hard it is or if there are gotchas. I've replaced "non-replacable" batteries in phones before and I usually break some plastic tabs or (one time) pierce the battery. I'm totally fine taking it to a shop if it's moderate to hard.
What I mean by n-to-n sharing is that I have all of my devices sharing *the same folder* with every other device. This has definitely been a bit of a pain to set up and manage (moreso because a few machines use Docker so they're basically double-NAT'd). My biggest concern is having conflicts out the wazoo and losing data. The most important thing to me is my KeePass vault.
I had to read like half the article to be sure she wasn't saying that slavery having no benefits is "ridiculous".
Amidst all the SDXL stuff I'm sure this will get overlooked but I've been trying to share more of my gens and my code instead of keeping it all to myself. I made a downloader for models. Now that I'm posting it I do kinda of wonder how useful it is but at one point I thought it was a great idea. I suppose I didn't like the idea of not being able to wipe the installation and start fresh with minimal effort (or if I one day have a new main for SD stuff). Anyway, here it is as a Gist: https://gist.github.com/MalikKillian/2be8af358111049848139d95abddee64
