Wow, that last article was really interesting. I’d always heard legends of the unionization attempts in the 90s, cool to have the context of a zine by and for field techs from that time. I’ll have to spend some time on my next day off going through the archives (ten ten-hour days in a row, but apparently still not enough to be considered a “professional” archaeologist, let alone get health insurance!)

This dude’s train of thought is, “my constituents are fucking morons, they’ll eat this shit up!”

“meager benefits”, I wish. I have a specialized degree and nearly 15 years of experience in CRM, and I have absolutely none. No vacation, no sick leave, no health insurance, no retirement, nada. And essentially no chance of that changing without going back to school to get a master’s, and even then no guarantee. I hear legends from time to time of field techs trying to unionize back in the 90s and getting blacklisted, hopefully this time it takes off instead.

You mean the ones where all the comments say [deleted]?

I always assumed the two communities were the result of some mod-drama/schism, if that’s not the case, nuking one makes perfect sense to me. Unfortunately the lesser used and formerly mod-abandoned community has the better underlying name, but what can you do.

I use wX from f-droid. It uses data from the National Weather Service, so it might not be useful if you are located outside the US.

I’ve used them for years. Most years I have W-2s from multiple states, they’re the only free e-file that covers all states (with income tax) last I checked (I think h&r block did briefly, but I don’t think they even do free file anymore). They also do my state’s renters rebate, which most other free file providers don’t. I did have some issues several times with it switching me to only paid options at the very end, but a message to support always fixed it.

I believe Bhutan is generally considered to be the happiest nation, but I’ve never been there, so don’t quote me on that.

Xcrement

Fourth paragraph from the end:

Scholars have speculated that the ointments often mentioned in accounts of such flight might have functioned as hallucinogens, producing sensations of flying. The most thorough study of these accounts, however, finds that such references rarely appear in voluntary testimony. They come instead from authorities recording, and often reshaping, what accused witches said.

Don’t be that asshole who tosses everything out of the dumpster and leaves it strewn around the parking lot or wherever. That shit doesn’t pick itself up.

I had to do that recently, ended up being easier to just temporarily change the password to something short on a pc, then change it back after.

On Android, I use Feeder and Nunti. Both are open source and available on f-droid.

What version? I had a similar issue, but it was fixed when I updated to 0.55.

Could it be a connectivity check for captive portals?

I’d suggest checking out the official installation instructions linked at the top of the mint homepage. They’re pretty good.

ClamAV?

D’oh!

I don’t believe that’s possible, the best you can do is foss apps with android auto compatibly. The only one that shows up as an option for me on my phone is VLC, but I’m sure there are at least a few others. Someone on the fossandroid community said osmand works with it earlier today, but I don’t remember seeing it show up as an option (but that was with a rental car a year ago, things may have changed.)

I think that’s a bug, and doesn’t mean anything. Unless there’s a new bug I’m unaware of, which is completely possible.
