A shadow of his former self
  • They've been editing him a lot too, comparing your bottle with the OP photo they removed half his cape and slimmed up his legs... for whatever reason they're trying to reduce complexity and bulk overall. Maybe make him less "larger than life" and associated "toxic masculinity / XTREME" 90s-00s imagery going back to what, ya know, actual wrestlers and pirates and stuff would've looked like (minus the business collar)

  • What are your "poor person" money life hacks?
  • Even then, a basic soap like Dr Bronners or your favorite "hand soap" does well for most of your body. People ask my wife how her hair is so amazing, she just washes it every couple days instead of every day and sometimes has some light argan oil or something to reduce frizz. Washing hair (especially long hair) every day damages it no matter what you're doing. The most important thing is to scrub your scalp really good.

  • Unpopular Opinion: OsmAnd >>>> Organic Maps
  • If you want a map swiss army knife, OsmAnd is very very good. If you don't, then yeah it's way too complex for what should be basic tasks. And developers refuse to do stuff like allow US-style address order search (requiring reverse order only)

  • How can I use cyclOSM in Locus Maps?
  • Unfortunately I don't have the free time/energy but the links are written tutorials on how to set it up in Locus, you just have to follow each step and research any steps you don't understand.

  • Should i switch from systemd to another init system, What are the advantages of using another init system?
  • Yeah but I've interacted with it a lot and most of my interaction is commands sent through one of their programs. Versus scripts like init.d whose contents I can easily inspect and modify. Init scripts aren't config files, they're directly executable code.

  • www.desmog.com Portland City Government Compromised with Oil Industry in Private, Documents Suggest

    In the summer of 2022, it seemed that the days of an oil-by-rail facility in Portland, Oregon, were numbered. The previous year, the city had rejected a land use permit for a company called Zenith Energy, which receives crude oil shipped by rail from as far away as North Dakota. Zenith had appealed ...

    You are free to go, I guess...
  • All contracts are negotiable, you did nothing wrong other than not having a conversation before wasting paper, the main issue is that for most people the negotiation is "if you want to work here you have to agree to all this."

    But yeah reasonable accommodation and mutual understandings, etc, should be written down and signed. I challenged the non-disclosure agreement at my job once because it literally said I couldn't talk about my work with ANYONE, and a plain reading of it would mean I'd be unable to even talk to my boss about what I was supposed to be doing. It was poorly written and probably unenforceable. My boss didn't like that so I signed it anyway and then focused on finding work elsewhere (he was a dick and his company got raided by the FBI a few years later)

  • Russia says genetic tests confirm Prigozhin died in plane crash
  • It goes without saying but missing a wing is one of the main things that planes are designed never to do, so either they didn't catch the part where the wing exploded or you've got some serious sabotage going on

  • How can I use cyclOSM in Locus Maps?
  • Locus uses Openstreetmap data by default, what parts of CyclOSM and OSMAnd do you like? If you want to plan and import a route you probably want to export and then import a GPX file.

    To add the CyclOSM map tiles as a layer, you do need to follow the instructions here

    https://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:advanced:customization:online_maps

    Using the tile server url displayed when you click the "i" information button on https://www.cyclosm.org

  • Should i switch from systemd to another init system, What are the advantages of using another init system?
  • It used to be that everything in Linux was a file, ideally a text file, so if you could find the right file you could access or change what you wanted. Systemd is a big program that manages a bunch of stuff and creates unique commands within its programs for doing so, which moves away from that principle and turns system management into what feels a bit more microsofty (like the registry editor program vs editing config files, etc) and a lot of people don't like that. But to its credit, it does solve a few problems with cobbling together a modern system that doesn't suck.

  • Is there anything good in Hexbear?
  • That photo is from a film about neanderthals. The phrase "unga bunga" has its earliest known usage in a Bugs Bunny short mocking Aborigines, but it's a generic enough phrase that I'm not sure you can write off the entire phrase as racist against Aborigines: any nonsense word could be used in its place and I'm not sure anyone creating or sharing the meme has actually watched that Bugs Bunny clip from 1950. It's just a nonsense phrase used to indicate low intelligence or nonsense. Given that the photo is of a neanderthal, I think anyone seeing the meme will understand that it's supposed to mean "a caveman would be confused by this" and not about any particular group of modern or indigenous humans. Most usages of the meme imply that the poster themselves is the confused one, so I don't think a racist would find it very funny to post something like that.

    https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/confused-unga-bunga

    Given that the words "unga" and "bunga" have existed in print since at least 1700 AD, I'm not sure we can point to that one Bugs cartoon as the definitive and only definition of that particular nonsense phrase. https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=unga%2C+bunga&year_start=1500&year_end=2019&corpus=en-2019&smoothing=3

  • Hexbear defederates from lemmy.blahaj.zone
  • Where does blahaj say they have no quarter for hexbear users (I see lemmygrad users, but not hexbear) and how is being okay with trans people but personally preferring boobs over penises "chaser" behavior? Why is screenshotting relevant DMs between admins defed-worthy? Is removing heated political conversations ableist? (I see the "X-tard" part of the screenshot, but 80% of the screenshot looks like a communist getting mad and borderline ad hominem, beyond any point about using appropriate language.)

    I'm a leftist and all for the Fediverse being able to choose who to federate with, but often the receipts posted by Fedi admins seem incredibly weak. Absolutely protect marginalized people with your full strength and might, but it seems like the people most directly hurt here are the hexbear admin themself. But I don't know, I'm just a random nobody, all I can see are the receipts the admin shows me 🤷

    Free speech as a guiding principle sounded so good when Reddit was created, and mostly it enabled neo-Nazis to recruit outside of Stormfront

    Turns out there are plenty of things more worthy of fighting for than enabling fascists and terrorists to lure in vulnerable people and harass marginalized people
