  • I had no idea about this case, but saw it everywhere. I finally saw a video about this woman, and it was very sympathetic towards her.

    The way it was portrayed in the video, she desperately tried to seek help for months and was repeatedly dismissed by the healthcare system and put on increasingly powerful psychotics.

    One Dr, cold cut her from one of the drugs which caused massive withdrawal issues which lead to other psychotic problems.

    Considering both the father of the children, the her former mother-in-law profess her innocence (at least according to the video) is telling.

    Someone below said this case is a psyop…if it is, it is merely to cover up the massive shortcomings in the healthcare system. Her Drs should be held accountable for not listening to her symtpoms, the pharma industry should be held accountable.

    Again, this all predicated on a video I saw a while back, so who knows if it is true. But I have a very different view point than the majority of comments here.






  • I’m not sure its FOSS, but its available in repositories so there is some degree of it being FOSS.

    I really like Endless Sky; its basically a rebuild of Escape Velocity, and I think it’s a great game.

    It’s a 2D space opera, you start out as a small shuttler and work your way up to massive fleets.

    I don’t remember much about Escape Velocity, but Endless Sky has a pretty decent story as well.











  • by boxes I just mean, linux computers for those who just use a browser to go on the internet. Those users, they don’t have to adopt the Linux philosophy.

    But for people who are actively coming to linux, I wish they would come with an appreciation for the ethos of FOSS.

    I’m flattered you think I have something of value to say, but what I’ve learned in life is that you can’t convince people of anything unless they want to be convinced. And ego plays a big role in that.

    If you go and even imply to someone, “you’re using computers wrong,” or “there is a better way,” depending on their relationship with you, their ego will kick in: what is this guy talking about, I’ve been using computers for x years and I have it do everything I want it to. Just nod along


  • I don’t want usage adoption; I want philosophical adoption which will lead to usage adoption.

    I want users to appreciate that they own their software. I want them to realize the importance of being able to inspect and use your software as you see fit (within reason).

    I want people to realize the dangers of walled gardens, and opaque black boxes that are doing who knows what.

    I hope that makes sense; I get confused and worried when people just push adoption. I’d rather people migrate because they believe in FOSS, and then setup linux boxes for their non-tech family members as a means of protecting them.

    I have a lot to say on this…but the words just aren’t coming out right now. I guess I need to get in the right frame of mind.






  • So try talking to the dealer.

    It helps if you live in an urban area with lots of options, but many manufacturers would simply say no. I found a few who were willing to help

    An Audi dealer said they can’t disconnect the stuff, but there is an airplane mode you can use. I didn’t trust that.

    But I found a Honda dealer and a Nissan dealer who were willing to help. They both gave me detailed descriptions on what they were oging to do, what featuers I would lose, etc etc.
