At one of my old jobs (which handled owning malls (I worked on the websites)), one of the locations would hold an event with Autism Speaks; during a meeting, someone mentioned that we needed to get the campaign advertisements on the site for one of their upcoming events.
At the mention of “Autism Speaks”, I reflexively went, “Ew.” Only dawned on me, after the fact, that it probably looked to the rest of my coworkers like I was ridiculously immature about and ablist towards autistic people.
Yeah; that’s fair. The whole thing – admittedly – sort of felt off, both in terms of tone and acting. Like, I’m glad it exists just because I (likewise) like the idea but I did struggle to get through all the seasons. Season 2 is the strongest (in my opinion).
I hadn’t heard of Brand New Cherry Flavor; gonna add it to the list of media to check out.
I dunno if you already know about it but, if it is the type of thing you’re into, Channel Zero ran for about 3 seasons and was basically that.
I hadn’t been. I just wanted an open-source alternative; as with all aspects of my life.
It used to freeze up a lot; and, then, you lost all tabs, if it did. That’s why I’d stopped using it and switched to Chrome, back in the day.
With all the crap Google’s doing, I tried Firefox out again something like 5 or 7 years ago and it’s now better than what Chrome offers (for me, of course; I’d’ve probably still switched, anyway, just to deGoogle my life further).
I do find it starts to massively lag when I get to a certain number of tabs/windows; but Chrome doesn’t seem to ever shut off my CPU fans under the same level of load so not like it gets a leg up.
Companies, instead of people, but the premise still applies.
I’d meant to respond to this but, apparently, forgot.
There is but there are some caveats which may make it unsuitable, for you. MNT Research sells a few different pieces of hardware which are entirely open hardware with the aim to be entirely repairable and modifiable, even more so than Framework (from what I hear). They publish the full spec.s of every component the machines are built with and you can even buy printed copies of the manual which lays out the spec.s of all those components.
One of the caveats is that they use ARM; on the one hand, that means no need for fans as there really isn’t any kind of heat build-up but, of course, not everything is available to be built for ARM (you might know this already and I apologize if anything I mention isn’t needed).
The other caveat is that the laptops are a tad chunky (mostly to make rooting around in the innards to swap parts and fix things easier); some people don’t mind that but I figure I ought to make note.
The new one they’re working on, but haven’t released yet (they ship the earliest in July, though, so coming up), are somewhat more slim, though: https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/mnt-reform-next. But it’s really a matter of relativity.
I’d heard that they were kind of slow but that the newest CPU they got for the upcoming device reaches levels comparable with other laptops? I’m very much out of my depth in that area, though.
Lastly, I’m going to go out on a limb and assume, based off your instance, that you’re family and, so, mention that the CEO is genderqueer (Mastodon account at https://mastodon.social/@mntmn). So you do get the added benefit of supporting a Queer-owned business which I don’t think even Framework offers.
I don’t own anything by them so you may want to read up on some reviews or lurk forums, first, but it definitely is as committed to right-to-repair and interchangeability/upgradability of components and also deeply committed to open-source.
Feels similar to https://www.dotmeow.org/.
I may’ve missed it but it seems that, unlike the other project, this one’s just a TLD? The thing I really like about the .meow project is the nonprofit setup behind it to channel the excess money made to Queer causes and organization, to create real infrastructure for being able to protect our community.
Not in a first-past-the-post system; you’re thinking of a two-round system.
Overall, I think they’re great.
To be fair (and, to be further fair, being fair really isn’t warranted, for him), he did say he liked small wars; I feel like the sequel to the Great War doesn’t qualify as a small war, by any measure.
That said, not like that detail explains away the Totenkopf, by any means.
Not technically but, like, it’s definitely a lot of cream cheese. Grabbing the first cheesecake recipe that came up when I searched, the non-crust ingredients are listed as:
▢ 32 oz cream cheese², softened to room temperature (910g)
▢ 1 cup sugar, (200g)
▢ ⅔ cups sour cream, (160g)
▢ 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
▢ ⅛ teaspoon salt
▢ 4 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
So that’s 60% cream cheese. By contrast, the cream cheese is only 17% of the called-for ingredients of this recipe (seeing as it calls for double of what-the-cream-cheese-amount-is in cottage cheese, I was curious what percentage is both the cottage cheese and cream cheese and that’s still just 51%; so less than the cream cheese of the cheese cake, still. I was curious what percentage we got to if we included the heavy cream to target the largest amounts of dairy it calls for (though somewhat unfair as the 60% in the cheese cake is just the cream cheese and leaves out the sour cream (it jumps to 70%, with the sour cream included, in case you were curious)) and we do get up 68% of the ingredients, with that included. But, you know, that’s cream cheese, cottage cheese, and heavy cream and not just cream cheese).
When he ran for president and got into the news for regular political reasons again, I was worried the public consciousnesses would forget about the primary definition of santorum; it brings me such joy that we’re keeping it alive.
I mean, that’s not terribly different from a cheesecake, right?
Haha; I meant the number of downvotes more than the ratio. But a fair point, regardless.
Cinnamon on Debian? Most excellent.
Oh, – what a surprise~ – this is downvoted to Hell…

Can’t enjoy watermelon; can’t enjoy apples; what next.
I find the app.s on Linux are often nicer, in many cases; like, I read more ebooks with Foliate than I ever did when I was using Android. It’s been really nice; even just the familiarity of things working like you’re used to them working on your desktop/laptop makes the whole experience just…nicer.
