I used to know this shortcut, but it was one of the many that I forgot after moving to linux.
Thanks for the refresher! I’ll probably get use of this on my work laptop
For me its when I’m sitting on my bed after showering and getting dressed

She alienated a sizable voter group in a swing state, and people who are struggling to buy groceries are not going to vote for a person who is literally in the second highest executive position in the ruling party, unless they make changes people can see, and have a good campaign on change. When I heard harris give speeches I always thought “well, you have a direct ear to the president and are one of the highest ranking democrats in the US. Why don’t you use this to make change now?
Your kitchen knives are vegan?!?!? But aren’t they naturally omnivores???

Though stopping doing it won’t exactly help the situation either
bl_r@lemmy.dbzer0.comto politics @lemmy.world•Musk's election falsehoods travel hundreds of times further on X than fact-checks from officials10·9 months agoDoes fact checking even work anymore? At this point it almost feels like a waste of time, and maybe even counterproductive.
Like, it doesn’t matter how hard I fact check things anymore. It doesn’t matter how many statistics I can pull out, or how simple and factual my response is.
People want to be wrong. Their mind is made up and their desire to have that opinion is unflinching. Fact checks might not even reach them in their corners of the internet. Telling someone who is choosing to be wrong that they are wrong will not do anything.
I honestly don’t know what to do instead, this seems like it is going to need something that is basically cult deprogramming.
bl_r@lemmy.dbzer0.comto News@lemmy.world•After 43 years wrongly imprisoned, Missouri court vacates Sandra Hemme murder conviction, excoriates attorney general's arguments25·9 months agoThe amount of malpractice done by the police department and ag combined with the fact they state that it was possibly a discredited/disgraced police officer that actually did the killing makes it look like there was a coverup going on.
And the fact that people fought to keep her in prison? Disgusting.

bl_r@lemmy.dbzer0.comto politics @lemmy.world•LGBTQ+ rights have long been at the mercy of public opinion. This November will be no different.11·9 months agoI mean, that is a definition of rights.
Rights that can be instantly taken away mean almost nothing. What good is my right to do something, such as be queer, when a bunch of cishet people can just say “alright, now you can’t exercise your right to be enby or trans or otherwise gender non-conforming, or be in a non-heteronormative relationship because a large enough portion of bigots decided you can’t.”
Those rights don’t mean shit unless they can’t be taken away. If they can, they are little more than privileges granted to us from cishet people because they felt bad for being oppressive.

I’ve always heard stories of shit going down at walmart, but I’ve never seen it.
Dennys, on the other hand…
The nearest winco to me is a country away ;_;
I wish I could shop at a unionized store or a worker-owned place but none exist near me for groceries.
I loved shopping at 2 am. It was basically me, nighttime truckers, and people who worked weird shifts stopping by after work. When I shop in the day the aisles are congested and shelves occasionally need a restock, and checkout lines out take forever (looking at you costco)
bl_r@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•Someone Put Facial Recognition Tech onto Meta's Smart Glasses to Instantly Dox StrangersEnglish6·9 months agoIn most cases there isn’t much you can do to fool the government without a lot of prep time such as scouting routes to find cameras, destroying them, or being really good at changing into bloc in the middle of a crowd and not getting caught.
But the important thing is threat modeling. The past dozen or so protests I’ve been at haven’t had the government as a big threat, it has had fascists as the primary threat. While a fascist cop would be a problem, it is much less likely than fascists combing through protest footage to try and doxx people, or a fascist at said action trying to get good photographs. That’s why I masked up.
The last real dicey action that I went to I still masked up, even knowing that the government could still try to track me if needed because I knew it would be time consuming to do so, and that they would only go through the process of doing that if I make it worth their while. Bloc is still effective, but quite hard under this heavily surveillanced police state.
bl_r@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•Someone Put Facial Recognition Tech onto Meta's Smart Glasses to Instantly Dox StrangersEnglish5·9 months agoI think it would be funny to normalize wearing bloc in order to retain privacy. It’s why some people might wear accessories they normally don’t wear, such as beanies and sunglasses at protests, even if they aren’t in full bloc, covering hair and eyes (in addition to a surgical mask) can make it really hard to doxx someone.

There was a funny reddit screenshot that was going around during the pandemic that I cannot find, but I remember it being the icon for a podcast, which I found and linked. It’s a good source on what rent strikes could do and critiques of its use.
bl_r@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•Because of something I did during an anthropology lecture, I learned the hard way to read the "The following packages will be REMOVED" list when upgrading a package to backports in Debian GNU + Linux.6·10 months agoThat’s a fun mistake to make. I had a similar thing happen with Kubuntu uninstalling my GPU drivers. I could never figure out what caused it.
Tailscale, with nginx for https.
Very easy, very simple, just works, and i can share my jellyfin server with my friends
