When I thought about suicide as a kid, it was always school-shooting type scenarios. Like I'm going to go out, but I'm taking a bunch of these mother fuckers with me. Then I got older, recognized or developed a more pure depression and realized that I was being stupid. If I decide to check out, I'll do it with the least impact on the world.

Would the ends justify taking a healthy person off the street and harvesting their organs to save five people?

In a working democracy, sure.

But, Maldova, Poland, Estonia, <..and more> are really already part of Russia if you think about it. And Russia needs to protect it's borders, so if you have a border, abutting Russia, you're really already part of Russia. Mirroring the circular logic justification for Israeli settlements.

I could almost understand if it was super complicated, but this case seems pretty straight forward without too many loose threads waving around.

You a word there. And I agree 100% with your position.

Good question. It's real. Crazy times, eh?

Ah, if only life had the clarity and balance of Algebra.

I thought Typst looked interesting, I just have too many years of LaTex mental patterns and Vim shortcuts to be bothered to try it. I've suggested Typst to a couple of friends who later said,"thanks."

How does gnumeric work for you? That's my spreadsheet goto, but to be fair I have very simple demands.

It still clearly does all the "..,etc" that I mentioned. I don't have skin in this game. I think of a "dedicated audio player" as one that as, uh, dedicated to playing audio. cmus and the like sure fit that. I think of things that can play audio, but don't do much else other than playing other formats, like mpg123, mpv, vlc, et. al, as not falling into that category. Not that they have issues playing audio. Just a design thing.

 

I've never had to organize much in the way of videos/photos, until now. I'm going on a trip for a month or two and want to organize the pictures and videos I will be taking. I'm interested in datestamps and tags more than anything. Does anyone have a workflow that works for them? Any apps that make this easier that I haven't heard of?

EDIT: I'm wondering about things like, downloading media from my camera and having something sort it all in a schema of my choosing. Maybe other things that I don't know enough to even wonder. Or, maybe there is no there there.

 

For fall 2024, UC San Diego revamped its remedial math course to address middle school math gaps and introduced an additional remedial course to cover high school math. In fall 2025, 921 students enrolled in one of these two courses—11.8 percent of the incoming class.

Buddy of mine sent me what he describes as a disturbing video from his hometown. It's a threads link. I generally use yt-dlp or just straight mpv from the CLI and most things work. I can't see this, on my computer, or my crap phone. Does anyone know a trick or something for accessing this content. No I won't make a threads account. Here's the link, for what it's worth:

Six years old, but more pertinent than ever. I don't think the ghouls at Davos liked the message.

My ISP seems to be throttling my VPN connection. Just started a week or so ago. Anyone have any tips for correcting this shit?

Edit: Sorry, I didn't leave much info. I guess I was thinking in more general terms. I use PIA, have for years. I've tried to change protocols and ports, my VPN speed still sits around 10K. Just ridiculous. Speed test without VPN:

collapsed inline media

SOLVED!! OK, I'm an absolute idiot. The tl;dr I had accidentally toggled the Toggle Alt. Rate Limits setting. Thank you everyone for attempting to help that which couldn't be helped!
