Is anyone at threat of prison time or at least fines measured in the 100’s of billions, if not trillions?

I probably did. Think I’ve had some things not print correctly without that on an actual printer so I turned that on sometimes?

Sometimes people have things saved to Google drive with the setting to save disabled but allow printing. Which means you can just print to pdf. Only case where I can think of where printing to PDF is the easiest option.

Pretty sure that works on all OSes.

Pdf24 let’s you just mass import pdfs and unlock them without destroying things like bookmarks and the text. I’m sure there’s other similar options.

Print to pdf generally loses the text and just makes it an image though. Which can balloon size and prevent ctrl+f without running ocr on it and saving an additional layer with more mistakes than the original.

Even with games that usually use kernal anti-cheat systems like battleeye, some games specifically have enabled proton support and just work as well.

I haven’t had too much issues with Bazzite for general use. I still use windows for work, so there’s some things I haven’t tried setting up and have no clue how different they’d be on an immutable vs a mutable OS.

I’ve used Mint before (like 10 years ago) and somehow it kept breaking (I’m sure I somehow caused it, but I only knew enough to break things and not enough to understand how I was breaking them). 🤷‍♀️ For most people, I’d think how Bazzite works would be acceptable. For some power users, the immutable OS aspect might be annoying, but I think that’s mostly an issue for people who are coming from a different Linux distro (it did bother me at first and I did consider switching to something like PopOS) or people who want to run fairly dated or obscure software (granted, VMs are sometimes already necessary for that - at a previous job, we had to use windows 95 VMs to run a specific version of software).

Modern life is abusive. If you make it through infanthood without at least some trauma in places like the US, you’re probably an extreme outlier. That’s just the base level everyone carries with them. Of course some people have it quite a bit worse than others. I certainly think people should be able to complain even if on paper they’ve have more demographics in their favor.

That said, I’d say I’ve experienced lots of happiness imo despite not being cis or het and having gotten a restraining order against the person who birthed me when I was like 8yo. I hope you are able to find happiness too!

Most the furries I’ve met are either trans or “I’m not trans, but I genderbend and if I did transition, I have specific goals already”

Podcast episode from Covid-19 era about police militarization, which talks a fair bit about Safariland if I remember correct (its been several years since I’ve listened to it). Lots of banter during the first 20-25 minutes.

Only weekly!?

No full story, but birther once traded us (me + my siblings) for a blanket. No context might make that sound worse than what actually happened.

One time my mom was telling on stories with a friend over (perhaps at my encouragement) and afterwards the friend, a social worker, was just like “I’m surprised yall are as well adjusted as you are” and it seemed like an odd reply to some old funny stories.

Keypass has apps which supposedly support autofill (I’ve never bothered with setting them up because I hate using a phone), but it might go through the clipboard. You can also set it to clear the clipboard so its at least not just sitting there indefinitely.

Probably makes more sense to gay on to the furrycon. Are straights even allowed in such hallowed grounds? (no offense to straight furries intended by the comment - just not sure I’ve ever met a furry that wasn’t at least some form of GSRM)

That phase makes sense if you are the one to originally say something, which is imagine long-living vampires would have to deal with more than usual. Still there are RL examples like that one person who got a rejection for their paper by reviewer two who said they needed to account for the work of [insert name of the researcher who submitted the paper].

How can you watch your friends, family, and neighbours being executed in the streets only to buy a whistle and yell at them a bit. I get that you’re afraid; but at this point your desire to survive should overcome that fear… Yes, there’s the threat of Marshal law, but it’s being imposed on you whether they officially announce it or not. There are federal agents patrolling your streets arresting EVERYONE that’s not visibly white AND carrying papers, including 3yo children, and shipping them out of state faster than the courts can issue injunctions (even when moving as fast as possible with emergency hearings).

I’ve never seen a single ICE agent in my life (despite being in one of the top 3 states in terms of “undocumented” immigrants). So I’d imagine a lot of it is simply an “out-of-sight, out-of-mind” for a lot of people. It may be the case that Alex was the only person armed with a gun at that scene (other than ICE, if you consider those people).

You’re being kidnapped and summarily executed. This will not end until you fight it off.

Agreed. I know when things escalate, I’m certainly in the group who’ve they’ve been building lists for as someone they consider an undesirable. I consider trying to flee, but I think partly there’s still a side of me that wants to believe it won’t get to that point so I can just get through living day to day.

I use cli just for making virtual mics and audio sinks and for .jar, so things people who are afraid of cli probably wouldn’t even consider doing. Currently using bazzite. The immutable nature make it annoying when you want to do some things via cli that don’t work like they would in vanilla fedora, but that doesn’t seem like it would be a problem for someone who doesn’t want to use cli. Bazzite includes bazaar for accessing flatpaks and works fine usually.

Perhaps wants ineffective violence. He doesn’t want violence at a scale that’s a legitimate threat to him.

What is it then? 100k+ people should exist 24/7 around the entire nation on each block?
