A'ight. Time to implement a bare bones Roto engine.
There's a bug I have on Fedora Silverblue since forever: when the computer get out of sleep, the system time gets slightly off by a few seconds or minutes plus the different with UTC is doubled (so instead of +1 in winter and +2 in summer, it's +2 and +4), and the system feels weirdly wobbly. I work around this by going to the system settings, disabling and re-enabling automatic time to sync it anew (the problem happens even when it is disabled).
I don't have it on GNOME OS, I'm free! 😄
I dumped Proton when Yen blathered about the GOP being better for privacy... Glad I did even though it was disappointing to have to move email addresses again.
For those shopping for email providers, I use Posteo. At the time I was looking at them, AI hadn't quite been shoved everywhere yet so I didn't ask them their policy. https://posteo.de/en
I wrote support to ask what I could tell those who are considering Posteo now about what their AI policy is. This was the reply:

Never give in to doomerism. Even when the world burns, if you can help just one other person and make their life better, it will have been worth it.
Doomerism is both lazy and egotistical. It's the belief of people who can't be bothered to do anything for others unless they can be a hero and save the world, which never happens, because they're above doing small things. So they have constructed a justification for just sitting around and moping.

I wish the fiancee wouldn't refer to a BJ as her "hubby batter fix" but at least it's better than her early term "baby batter fix" which caused me to become impotent for 15 minutes. Still, I can't be ungrateful about BJs and she's a good person far below the surface.
@fesshole A newspaper poll decades ago revealed that the most unerotic word for a male partner was 'hubby'. The least sexy term for the penis was 'tummy banana'. You should start using that one.
Happy Halloween!

For rushed Halloween decorations I have a parking space outside for witches to park their brooms and one space is reserved for electric only.
Someone has parked a vacuum cleaner in it.
Only one possible costume choice today.
@hacks4pancakes
The costume is amazing
The earrings are 🔥
Been having a rough couple of brain days, just a lot of vibratingly busy brain to the point where it spills over into bodily restlessness and throbs of shapeless anxiety, and close to nil ability to make myself do things that need doing or even fall into the pleasant distraction of things that don’t but that I ordinarily like.
It happens, it’s transient, it’ll be better tomorrow or the next day or the next. Just keep reminding myself that. Fuckin’ brains, man.
@joshmillard The mind is a strange place to live.
If you're reluctant to vote because you don't feel like your vote has any influence on the outcome, may I suggest voting out of spite?
As in, think of a relative or coworker who has the opposite political views as you. Want to ruin their day? Your vote would counteract and nullify any miniscule effect their vote might have had. Vote as a sort of "fuck you" to the assholes in your life.
Rock musicians have a similar problem, as anyone can attest who has felt the reaction of the crowd at a show when the band says they’re now going to play some new material they’ve been working on
I think about this Gang Of Four review from Slate about once a month.

@khm Unfortunately they don't seem to support using own domains.

With Election Day this Tuesday, democracy is being tested in courtrooms as much as at the ballot box. Courts are pushing back on the DOJ, voters abroad are pushing back on strongmen, and Trump is...pushing back on Obama’s Cheesecake Factory joke. Quite a week. Let’s catch up. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/october-30-weekly-news-roundup

Uhm, have you seen the amount of Spam, Phishing, Hacking, no replies we get on E-Mail?!? How is that working properly? It even cancels my attachments etc. And admins have to put in a massive amount of effort. Instant messenging isn’t great either. Neither is Facebook, X, TikTok and all the other central for-profit social media platforms?!!
Let's hear it for the farm workers who harvested the pumpkins that are decorating homes across America for #Halloween today. These pumpkins came from Greenfield CA. #WeFeedYou
