shout out to erwin schrodinger for inventing a thought experiment specifically to point out how ridiculous a theory was only for it to be immortalized as the way that theory is explained

Instead of saying that voting for Biden is racist since he’s a racist, why don’t you acknowledge the fact that the American people are forced into voting for racist shitheads and our voices are not heard on who we actually want? Acknowledge the system we live in does not actively listen to its people and suppresses their voices? It forced us to pick from intolerable racist and tolerable racist and that is not our fault. Not just white people voted for Biden. Get a more mature take please.

I think the concept of having a single Career that you work at your whole life is kinda stifling, tbh

I wish society were more accommodating for people who just want to bounce around and try a bunch of things

I instead just nicknamed it "Libertarian" because right-libs are all pedos anyways.

Different playthrough from the Nuzlocke. Really, Nintendo? I get pedo, but pedometer? Really? I'm half tempted to try "Scunthorpe," because that's the problem that's coming to mind.

Here's the really bitter pill we need to swallow to start moving past monopolistic capitalism: there is no replacement for Amazon, Github, Twitch, and Google. Period.

Their ease and usability are the result of monopolistic privilege.

The things they do are technically, logistically impossible without a trillion dollar mega-corp doing them. For the average use-case, your QoL will drop, significantly, moving to a smaller or self-hosted solution.

You need to accept that, and do it anyway.

Pokémon 

Today, I started a Pokémon X nuzlocke. So far, it's going well. I'm at geosenge and I've only lost two pokémon so far (and one was because I used it as fodder; such was the fate of Birb 2: The Birbening)! I've also only lost a couple of encounters to accidental KOs, but I've still got a fairly strong team, nonetheless. Tomorrow, I continue! For now, I rest. G'night!

A randomly reminder to make a #Backup.

Please remember that your data, your documents, pictures, creative files like art or music are stored somewhere. And the data that's lying around your devices (smartphones, tablets, notebooks, PCs, etc.) can break or you might delete something by accident.

So (if possible) make backups as to the 3-2-1 rule:
3 backups on
2 devices and
1 backup offsite

Also never forget to check your backups frequently. Make a restore and see if it works.

You're welcome.

@devurandom@cybre.space Only thing I can think of is using it to create a Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016/2019 install USB (and I'm not even sure I remember Windows 10 correctly), since that involves a file that's larger than 4GB (install.wim, iirc)

Though, I do like Gemini and am currently trying to figure out how to create a version of my website using Gemini. Keep an eye out for that.
