At this point I’d still rather be detained than dead.

I'm well past that point. Especially with this fascist dictatorship. Being detained will likely get us tortured or thrown into a concentration camp. I'd rather die resisting these fuckers than die in some torture room.

    So by migration, you mean just using the same drive in another system? That's potentially a major data loss moment. You at the very least should back everything up before you try to "migrate" without copying files.

    I don't use Synology, so I can't speak to the exact process you need to follow. But I imagine it will require you to format your drive if it's somehow locked into Synology's system in order to use it with something else.

    It's likely similar to reinstalling a different OS. You have to back everything up and format the drive. It likely uses a different file system.

    How often do petitions actually affect change? I feel like I see petitions being mentioned a lot, but rarely do I see change as a reult. It feels like they are just another form of "thoughts and prayers". You feel like you're contributing something, but a few days go by and the collective amnesia sets in.

    "Lockup" is an investment term. When a company has an IPO (Initial Public Offering, which is the day they become publically available for stock trades), the big shareholders and company employees who are invested ahead of the IPO are "locked" from selling their shares for a certain number of days. This isn't required, but most companies having an IPO end up having a lockup period set as well.

    In regards to this headline, it just means that the initial investors and big shareholders are now free to sell their shares, which they are apparently doing in droves!

    The whole social aspect of Venmo is one of the stupidest things to have ever been created. I use Venmo because it's the most widely used platform, but all of my transactions are private.

    Do people even scroll through the public feed of their friends? Why does anyone care that their friend paid another friend (who they likely don't even know) $10 for a burger and fries? So fucking dumb.

    I believed it to be an absolute fact that all cats are female and all dogs are male. I had no idea how reproduction worked at this point, so it just made sense to me.

    Then one day, a classmate was talking about her cat and how "HE" had done something funny. I had to clarify, "Your cat is a boy?!?" and my entire understanding of animals was shattered that day.

    It goes much deeper than just coffee shops and other public wifi. There are people in oppressive countries that have to use VPNs to get around their country-wide bans of certain sites, such as anything that provides access to information. Reddit used to be a sanction for tons of information sharing. But now, with Reddit going public, they have to appeal to their shareholders, who probably have business or other deals in those oppressive countries. So, even if Reddit is simply trying to force users to be trackable, it still behooves the shareholders to make information and knowledge more difficult to access to certain people.

    Fucking morons will continue to vote for Genocide Joe anyway.

    And no idea what Trump has to do with this.

    Because Dictator Donnie is the only other option. Believing any other candidate is even a viable choice is delusional. American politics is fucked so voting for 3rd party is not remotely helpful. You either vote for Joe or are complicit in the MAGA agenda.
