Stop Forgetting It

We can all collectively thank Reagan, among other terrible things we have to deal with today due to his administration, he is also responsible for the state of news media in the US in 2025. Previous to Reagan we had a policy called The Fairness Doctrine, it was a policy introduced in 1949, that required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that fairly reflected differing viewpoints. Broadcasters could show opposing viewpoints via option pieces, news segments or talk shows, but if they reported on one side they were required to show the other.

In 1987 under Reagan the FCC abolished the Fairness Doctrine. Broadcasters were no longer required to air apposing viewpoints of controversial topics. This has directly lead to the echo chambers that you see in the news media today.

Can we appreciate how horny everyone is for Mario in TTYD?

So I am playing through Paper Mario TTYD on my Switch for the first time. I never played these games growing up, and while I kinda enjoyed the Super Mario RPG remake for its quirkiness, I strongly believe that if you don’t have specific nostalgia for it, it just doesn’t hit the same.

TTYD is great. It’s so fun and captures a sense of adventure, with big swings from light hearted comedy into some dark territories. I was not expecting that, but I absolutely was not expecting just how horny everyone seems to be for Marty-o!

All the ladies swoon and mention how manly he is, commenting on his moustache. I was not expecting this coming from a Nintendo game. It’s pretty funny and I love it!

This project is coming along nicely.

A modified Barracuda in the wild.

It will be my OPNsense router for my new business location. I very much enjoy piecing together old hardware to make something useful or interesting.

The chassis is a salvaged Barracuda BSF200a appliance. Stripped most of what was in there out, leaving the power supply. Replaced the motherboard with Gigabyte GA-H77N-WIFI - this was chosen due to the dual GbE network ports.

Low profile cooler (heatsink) came from a SuperMicro motherboard combo that I ordered from ebay. Kingston 120GB SSD came from local recycling.

Processor is i3-3220T - a lower power option than the processor that I originally got with the motherboard.

Blower fan is from a Dell Optiplex SFF machine, placed upside down, cushioned with foam and hot-glued in place.

It is a thoroughly custom solution built from parts I acquired from many sources.

ooh, new dark pattern I discovered today.

Stuck with MS Teams at $DAYJOB, I continue to hold onto the thick-client instead of succumbing to the heavy-weight web client.

Just about every time I switch to the app after a couple hours of not using it, it pops up a "This is unsupported" interruption with a link to learn more, HUGE, colorful "Try it on the web" button, and a smaller light "continue using this antiquated unsupported piece of junk" type button.

As if that wasn't bad enough, as dark patterns go, when you tab through the controls, focus lands on the "more information" link and on the "try it on the web" button, but the "continue using this" simply won't focus with the keyboard. You HAVE to reach for the mouse to click the "continue using this"

Have I mentioned how much I loathe using MS products, and Teams in particular?

"BREAKING: The British government is now warning that people must prepare for "wartime scenario" on British soil.
What's going on? " WTH?

Sweden is preparing to go after Russia in Baltic, said they have plenty of allies. It's touting a mighty military and said, "We 're banking on the fact that Putin won't attack them back." SMH.

Agents burst into Peter Sweden's house, too, and trashed it.

Here’s a movie pitch but say people started dressing up like ICE agents everywhere and “assist” with deportations but during mid transfer they knock out the so called real agents and release the citizens into a safe zone and recruit them into the resistance….

“Band of Bandidos”

Again, in no way should anyone attempt such an operation… just….an….idea….

So, a few months back, someone posted about using #biochar as an ingredient in seed starter. It seems biochar has a lot of potential good uses -- including #PFAS remediation!

"This project aims to investigate whether biochar can be used as a soil amendment to immobilize PFAS in the soil and reduce its bioaccumulation in the edible parts of vegetable crops, such as lettuce and tomatoes. The study will address several key questions: the optimal application rate of biochar in the soil, the frequency with which additional biochar should be applied after the initial amendment, and low-cost modification techniques to enhance biochar's ability to adsorb short-chain PFAS from the soil. This research will involve both laboratory and field studies. The findings will contribute to developing practical guidelines for farmers on the use of biochar in PFAS-affected soils."

Help Installing Kubuntu

Hello! I posted yesterday asking questions about which distro to pick, so first of all, thank you to everyone who responded. I wanted to thank you all there but lit cafe is down, so I'm on my other lemmy acc and can't edit that post. As you can tell from the title, I ended up picking Kubuntu, mostly because the touchpad didn't work on Mint (thank goodness I have a mouse handy) and Kubuntu has a nice little welcome walkthrough that made exploring it really easy and comfortable. So I went to install it, but I'm confused about this part of the installation. For reference I'm doing this on a Lenovo Ideapad and it has "128GB eMMC and 256GB PCIe." (honestly I don't exactly know what the PCIe means). There's two options for storage devices at the top.
The prior picture is with the first storage device selected. The following picture is with the second storage device selected.
Are there two options because there's technically two different hard drives in the laptop? Does it matter which one I choose? And I have no idea if I should erase disk (there's literally nothing on this laptop, so no worries about deleting documents or pictures) or do a manual partition? And if so, how do I do a manual partition because even if I click that I don't seem to be able to do anything (also what does manual partition mean)? And would Kubuntu take up all the storage space on the drive like it looks like it will? Because that would be a problem?

I had a lot of fun checking out the distros and trying out all of the customization options in Kubuntu and taking a look at everything in the software center, but I'm starting to feel like this might be too advanced for me. I'm sick of windows, but maybe I should just not risk messing with operating systems I don't understand? (Also I really hope those screenshots don't doxx me or something)
