The article doesn’t match the headline, did you link the right article?

My town has a Kroger (city market) and an Albertsons (Safeway). Only other option is Walmart… the proposed merger would be catastrophic to our ability to afford groceries especially since Kroger is already price gouging to the point I can save $10 per 3ish days worth of food going to Walmart.

There are non stimulants that aren’t in a shortage, like strattera.

Pretty sure it’s to add emphasis. Without it they’d also probably be too bored to finish reading/writing their sentences.

There is a project looking to do this kind of, known as elks that has images for 80286 chips. I have no idea why you’d want to do that to yourself though.

If these supported phones I actually wanted I'd consider it. Even better if they weren't a pain in the ass to install.

Well didn’t take long just found this in a different post…

T-mobile was doing this in the US but only blocking certain ports when talking to my home server, might try putting it on a non-standard port as well and see if you can access the service then.

This honestly still feels premature for a server based OS. I rely on x forwarding and an rdp server for some tasks, and as far as I know Wayland still doesn’t really have support for either of those.

It feels like a toss up between that and Elon huffing his own farts to the point of brain damage

That is correct. Let’s say me and my dad get cancer. We both have health insurance provided by our employers.

Dad: Initial deductible (cost before insurance kicks in): $10,000

Max out of pocket (in network): $20,000

They cover initial treatment but the anesthesiologist is “out of network.” That charge goes to the separate deductible for out of network costs, dad pays $30k total, of a $500k “sticker price.”

Me: Deductible: $4,200 Max out of pocket: $4,200

Initial treatment is covered by insurance, no provider listed as out of network. Total cost to me: $4,200 out of a $500k bill.

Every insurance is different, each hospital will do different things to get extra money, and you have no way of knowing what 1 piece of the treatment is out of network until after you’ve already had the treatment. Our system sucks

My wife is basically tech illiterate and has 0 desire to ever use something that doesn’t just work out of the box. We’ve moved some of her software to foss (darktable over Lightroom due to their stupid subscription only model) but she’s really only comfortable on a MacBook and even then only after I’ve set the whole thing up and maintain software/os updates.

macOS also sucks for smb file shares so I have a FreeBSD jail that just does xrdp and ssh X-11 forwarding (better color matching for photos this way) and she runs a script disguised as a desktop shortcut to run her apps. The script launches an ssh session and pops up a simple program I wrote that just lists available apps like darkroom. Gives her native file speeds and 0 need to understand anything related to the OS. My rambling point here is unless you set it up so the SO doesn’t need to learn it’s likely to fail and in return you’ll be responsible for all of the maintenance. Unless you’re ok with that it’s probably not a good idea
