I think the point of the reddit screenshot is to show what Windows users are putting up with, not to share the meme itself.

This is just an archive. No different from using the wayback machine or any other archive of web content.

You shouldn’t be working for the US government in the first place.

10 years old is 2016. That’s not that old. I still have multiple devices from 2017 going strong, and they don’t feel old.

That’s why you don’t keep clothes if you wore them while committing a crime. Burn them.

So it mirrors repos before they go down? I think I get it if that’s the case; I thought it was just a host for “lost” software/source code in which case if you have a copy you can upload it to any software forge (if permitted by the licence). But if it’s meant to contain all software that currently exists, even if it shows no sign of disappearing, that makes more sense.

My point is that you don’t need a separate website for this; you can use existing software forge software and websites.

Putting an org’s logo on a protest callout is not “working together”. Normally it’s just “hey is [org] ok to have their name on this” “yeah go ahead”, and I imagine that’s the case here.

In any case, the US left is pathetic. It’s not the left that needs to unite, but the working class. Remember that the majority of people who fought for the Red Army during the revolution were not communists; the revolutionary subject is the entire proletariat, not communists.

I don’t think it does address the question. In order to archive source code, you need to have the source code in the first place, ie you can’t archive truly lost source code. If you have the source code, you can upload it to any software forge.

That’s cool but is it necessary? If the licence permits redistribution then anyone can just upload to an existing software forge like Codeberg etc

How do you like your carrots? Whole, chopped in a certain way?

Get a burner phone with a removable battery that doesn’t have a camera (or cover it) and only use public WiFi.

This advice really depends on what you need to do. Most people in this boat would benefit more from using something like GrapheneOS that provides actual security. If you’re talking about cheap burner phones you can buy for a bit of cash, those will be running proprietary OSes and using entirely unencrypted comms like SMS. Besides, their association with people like drug dealers means that I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them come with purpose-built spyware preinstalled. The burners will work for some narrow use cases, or if you can’t get your hands on a Pixel phone, but for most people with state level threat models it’s poor advice.

If it’s just like, using a friend’s IP address, it’s not really serving the same privacy purposes as you won’t have the same IP address as loads of people, unlike using a commercial privacy VPN. I use Mullvad which is notorious for being blocked a lot, and even I can use the internet nearly completely unimpeded.

You can torrent fine without port forwarding, but having port forwarding is helpful for seeding (which everyone who can safely do it (i.e. everyone who can afford a decent VPN) should do; it’s good etiquette and keeps torrents alive). Without port forwarding you can only seed to people who do have port forwarding, whereas with port forwarding you can seed to everyone.

Mullvad or IVPN if you don’t need port forwarding. AirVPN if you need port forwarding.

I do actually not find buffalo flavoured things (I don’t eat buffalo wings but I do buffalo cauliflower & tofu) spicy. And yeah I like to add hot sauce to foods that are not already spicy, but if they are already spicy I don’t add hot sauce.

I don’t think my spice tolerance is crazy tbh. I’ve definitely eaten things that were too spicy for me. I tried the Buldak 2× spicy and found it nice but once I got to the end of it I was struggling. Still managed to finish it though.

Hot sauces are very variable in spice levels imo. Most of them I don’t find spicy at all, but some of them are so spicy that even adding a little bit to my food has ruined it before.

Is there something genetically different with people who enjoy this?

Probably. My parents are from a place known for their love of spice, though I mostly grew up in places that were very conservative on spice.

Get a carbon monoxide detector. Maybe that?

The short arms thing is real as fuck. I’m 5’1 and am constantly inconvenienced by how short my arms are (elbows don’t reach armrests, can’t reach the back of the cupboard, can’t reach the corner of the kitchen countertop, etc). I think in a fight with a taller person they would have the advantage: faster due to longer legs and longer range arm reach.

Use trash-put and trash-cli.

Yeah. It looks like a lot of the BSDs might be the way to go if for whatever reason you want/need to stay on X11. I’ve been trying out OpenBSD on one of my machines, and following for quite a lot longer, and progress on Wayland support seems to be relatively slow over there.
