I can’t wait until Half-Life 3 finishes loading!
You’re welcome. I only learned of it myself a few weeks ago.

Only discovered D.O.A. a few years ago (thanks to the posts of Vancouverite Philip Random on Metafilter), first time listening to the whole album.
Kind of fun then finally watching some old Vancouver-shot Stephen J. Cannell shows on free streaming, and seeing Wiseguy’s Ken Wahl standing in a phone box making a call with a big old D.O.A. poster right by his head.
Maybe time for a drinking game: drink every time you see a D.O.A. or nomeansno poster, flyer or sticker in a Stephen J. Cannell show. (Resulting in Dutch courage to finally smash the state?)

On a bright note, leopards’ CITES conservation status has been upgraded from VU (vulnerable) to LC (Least Concern).
More typical unnecessary gubbmint regulation keeping down the laser pointer industry!
We already saw the cognitive dissonance of people gurgling the last words “COVID’s a liberal hoax” as they drowned to death on their own bodily fluids filling their lungs. Literally no amount of reality can sway people who just won’t accept it.
“Personally, I’da gone with Tabasco, but if they prefer to sprinkle Sriracha on my face before digging in, I have to respect their decision.”
“I can respectfully disagree with their exact method of eating my face and still support all their goals… of eating my face.”

Algospeak is the use of coded expressions to evade automated moderation algorithms on social media platforms such as TikTok and YouTube. It is used to discuss topics deemed sensitive to moderation algorithms while avoiding penalties such as shadow banning or downranking of content.
IIRC, Chauvin made the plea deal on federal charges so that he would do his time in the relative safety of a federal prison.
Which would mean that if he gets pardoned on federal charges, then he would have to serve out his remaining state time in a state pen… the very thing he wanted to avoid. He would probably be dead in under a month unless he spent the next decade or more in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day (like he did in his pre-trial detention).
Which would be a crying shame, of course…
Thanks for the info.

My next major software install will be the Nextcloud docker image, replacing so many data-sucking cloud services. Self-host at first, then maybe try a trusted provider (from whom my data would be protected).
The legend about the origin of the word sabotage is that French workers being put out of a job by bosses installing new machinery would drop their wooden clogs (called “sabots” in French) into the machinery’s gears, thus damaging it.

I only just realized that my search plugin in qBittorrent isn’t giving me any results from TGx.

I’m new to the fediverse and can’t access the link.
I’m on pixelfed.ca and logged in, but the link demands that I log into an account on pixtagram.social. (I also did a global search for “punk rock history” but it doesn’t show up.)
Is there a way I can see it without creating a pixtagram.social account?
