UFO hearings: whistleblower David Grusch says ‘non-human biologics’ found at alleged crash sites – as it happened by sin_free_for_00_days in c/[email protected]

The Republican party has led the initial charge, with a series of claims about extraterrestrial life that, until recently, would have been seen as career-ending.

LOL, more distraction from one party's inability to do their freaking job. It's funny that 1) alien visitors cross unfathomable distances using what must be technology far, far, in advance of anything we have, yet "crash" and 2) These "crashes" only happen in the US, or the US quickly swoops in to take all evidence of this from foreign countries.

tl;dr Americans are so self-centered and narcissistic it's painful at times.

We already have age limits at the lower end. Why are people so against age limits at the upper end?

If a website doesn't want me to see their shit, then I guess i won't see their shit. I already have some sites that don't work because of my aggressive use of lists on my pihole, in addition to the usual browser plugins. If a site doesn't work now, I just move on. I don't give a shit about any site enough to put up with this type of bullshit.

Republicans have zero intention of making the country, or the world, a better place. Cartoony levels of evil. I get why people bitch about the Dems, but I just can't understand why anyone would support Republicans. Fuck this two party system. We really need some type of change.

Republicans are wild. A twice impeached, twice (so far!) indicted, disloyal, adulterating, serial grifter is leading the race for them. Absolutely amazing. I guess it's true what I heard. The only American Standards^tm^ are toilet seats. Imagine how awful you have to be as a person to vote for someone like that! So god damn weird.

QAnon Shaman, who pleaded guilty and made a heartfelt apology in Jan. 6 case, has changed his mind and wants his plea reversed by sin_free_for_00_days in c/[email protected]

OK. Take away the plea deal and put him in jail for a couple decades. Insurrectionist asshole.

John Cusack inside Hollywood: They get away with it because they can by sin_free_for_00_days in c/[email protected]

In the past, when there was a much higher tax on high income earners, instead of paying more in taxes, they would spread the wealth a little more equitably. This was true in Hollywood, in corporations, hell, in working service industry jobs. There were still rich, but so were others. In the past 40 years, we have been experiencing the greatest wealth transfer (over $50 fucking trillion ) from the working class to the 1% ever. And it's poised to get worse. Anyone who doesn't support unions and a strongly progressive tax is either ignorant of the history of the US, or an asshole. There is no in between.

Let me summarize in two words: Fuck Republicans.

Ocasio-Cortez endorses Biden's reelection campaign, sending a strong signal of Democratic unity by sin_free_for_00_days in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 32 points 2 years ago

Passed under Biden:

PACT Act
American Rescue Plan
Impressive job growth and low unemployment
Bi-partisan Infrastructure
Helping defeat Russia

Not a complete failure, but I mean if the alternative is another geriatric, but one who is twice impeached, twice indicted and scummy, it's a shitty choice, but it's the only choice.

It would be nice to have a strong challenger, but the DNC protects its elders. I can't imagine any Dem not endorsing Biden as it's the only choice, and not endorsing him is a strange waste of political capital.

Copying website for offline (lemmy.one)

submitted 2 years ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

This is probably not the right place, but I figured I'd give it a try. I've been trying to copy this website so I could have offline access when tooling around the Channel Islands. I could (and probably will), just copy/paste whatever info I need for my little trips, but the fact that I can't copy it ass over is annoying the hell out of me. I've tried variations of wget -r ... as well as httrack with no success. Anyone have any idea how I can get this?

Jesus christ. They aren't going closed source. It's like all these people are new to Linux and don't understand the GPL, nor the politics behind the license.

Media Manager (lemmy.one)

Any idea for what to use as a media manager? I'm getting ready to go on a small trip and I would like to be able to import all my videos/pictures from an SD card and have them filed based on the meta data. At least by date. I've always done this manually and it's not awful, but there has to be a better way.

Using at command (lemmy.one)

A lot of people haven't heard of the at command, and I just figured I'd post up a little bit about it. I use it as a semi-alarm clock type reminder.

Structure of command the way I use it:

echo "notify-send -u critical -t 0 'YOUR URGENT MESSAGE'" | at "2pm Jun 18"

I actually wrote a tiny function so that I don't have to remember the -u critical -t 0 part. That is to keep the notification box from timing out. Now tomorrow (June 18th) at 2pm, a message box will pop up with the text "YOUR URGENT MESSAGE".

There are options for running commands (like cron, but you don't have to edit, then delete your edit after running). It is great if you don't want to mess with cron, or another utility for a quick reminder.

My quick little function looks like this:

notify_me ()
{
    if [[ $# -ne 2 ]]; then
        echo 'Usage:  notify_me "message" time/date' 1>&2;
        echo '                   make sure to enclose message in quotes' 1>&2;
        echo "                   also enclose date if it's more than just a time" 1>&2;
        return;
    fi;
    echo "notify-send -u critical -t 0 '$1'" | at "$2"
}

So say I have to remind myself to call the wife when the work day is over. I'll do something like:

notify_me "Check with the ol' ball and chain" "4:45pm"

I'm sure if you wanted to, you could make a very quick zenity (or whatever you like) gui for it, if that's the way you roll. Now I'll get a nice little pop-up 15 minutes before I check out. Tiny little things like this are why I enjoy the command line so much.

For more uses, check out the man page, or the tldr. It's not complicated and I find it useful.

Never trust someone religious. By definition they are ruled by fairy tales, and that's not a rational approach to living.
