Yeah I feel like that puts it into better words than I was able to.

I don’t know if it qualifies as a cooperative. I know they’re a nonprofit and they’ve got a board that we can just join for some fairly cheap dues even for our fixed income. My wife was actually on it for a while before our twins were born.
Don’t get your hopes up too much, but potentially yes. Congress is the one that has the power of the purse. They appropriate money to be used for certain purposes and the Executive is responsible for spending that money on the things Congress appropriated it for by a certain date from the bill that did the funding. But usually the form this takes is Congress giving a number and the President deciding exactly what to do to meet that number. Any time before that deadline Congress can decide to reappropriate funds for something else. They usually just opt to change the numbers next time around. Biden tried to get them to do this with some sections of border wall that were funded under Trump. So theoretically yes Congress could cancel this later if they wanted to.
But even if they don’t, if what you quoted is accurate this is probably one of the best case scenarios for us non-Genocide Enjoyers. This means that the Biden admin is eating up $18 billion dollars of the money Congress appropriated for Israel aid to build jets that they won’t get in time to further their genocidal aims. Since that money has to get spent arming Israel regardless since that’s what Congress appropriated it for it’s much better if it goes to expensive shit they won’t get for years than munitions they could use within weeks to bomb more civilians.
My landlord is actually a community nonprofit group that owns several units in our neighborhood. They do rent for the most part based on income. I forget the exact breakdowns but iirc it’s capped on the upper end at an actually reasonable percentage of your income so you’re not paying most of your paycheck to rent. Then my wife and I are on the low end because we’re on a fixed income. Before we got approved for section 8 we paid their lowest flat rate which is basically just enough to cover property taxes and maintenance which iirc percentage wise was a higher percentage of our income than their normal rate is but it still wasn’t crazy for us.
Then they use the excess to do things like update the units to make them more energy efficient, community organizing, etc. They’ve also bought out a couple of abandoned houses in the area and redeveloped them so people can actually live in them.
I personally don’t have a problem with landlords per se. Not everybody wants to own a home and deal with all of the maintenance and things that go along with it. I don’t even necessarily have a problem with them getting paid to deal those things. What I personally have a problem with is housing being used as passive incomea free money cheat.
He/They and I also dual boot. But I have reproduced so I must have broken something. Just like my Linux bootloader T~T
Yeah that seems like a bit of a stretch. That meme read to me like “Oh, you’re having problems with the DRM? I don’t have that problem,” not “Hey guys, here’s the GOG installer for X game.”
Otherwise, why would the other people in the group chat not like the vibe?
I liked what one person said I forget where I saw it of calling it Xitter and pronouncing it like Shitter.
Not to mention the last statistic on regret rates I saw showed that a lower percentage of people regretted transition surgery than regretted things like hip or knee replacement. But of course to them literally anyone who regrets transition is cause to ban it.
Definitely doesn’t help that most of the damn US has some form of Anti-BDS laws. Because everybody knows Anti-Zionism is Anti-Semitism right guys?
I believe they’re referring to the upcoming Manifest V3 changes. My understanding is that currently uBlock uses the old Manifest V2 that they’re ending support for once V3 gets pushed. I believe there is a V3 version of uBlock but because of the limitations in V3 it’s not as effective at blocking ads.
Yeah that’s pretty much it. You had multiple virtual desktops that let you have different sets of windows up on each and when you switched between them it played this cool animation of them laid out in a cube that you rotated to the next face. Then the wobbly windows is exactly what it sounds like. They’d jiggle when you dragged them around or when you maximized them.
Ran like crap on my old laptop I used for school but my god it was necessary to have. Still brings a goofy smile to my face whenever I’m moving windows around today since it’s a thing you can still do in Linux desktop environments. Had I not had my Comp Sci degree pursuits disrupted by chronic illness I’d likely have had a similar experience to OP.
Well, their source code appears to be freely available on Github. That’s a pretty good indicator.
One reason I’m glad to be a pretty broke parent gamer. I can only afford to spend money on games a couple times a year at best so I have to be really patient and picky about what I do decide to buy. I end up having no choice but to wait a year or more to pick up any games I’m excited about.
I would love to elaborate. Really, I would. But after the words left my mouth my brain just kinda closed that tab on me and it’s gone forever. Not even I know what I was saying.
I wish I could have learned about nonbinary identity much earlier. Like back when I was having a crisis about my gender in high school I only knew the full binary MtF and FtM existed. But whenever I thought about it being a girl felt just as wrong as being a boy to me. Just for different reasons. No matter how hard I tried I couldn’t reconcile not wanting to be a boy, periodically wishing I had been born a girl, but not actually wanting to be a girl.
Wasn’t until about 12 years later at like 26 when I met my now wife and she told me all that sounded like nonbinary and I suddenly had things to Google. I wish I could have had a chance to actually transition before fully growing into being 6’2" and built like a fridge in a fursuit. But like now I’m 33, I had other medical issues that I didn’t want to try piling a potential transition on top of, and I’m not even sure what realistic transition goals I could even have let alone have a chance of attaining.
