I had a co-worker who said he didn’t want a woman to be president because “she’d start a war every month.” I guess he’s not really misogynist like I thought.

It’s always disappointing to see how much people on here hate people with mental disabilities. Under no circumstances would anyone be OK with comparing Donald Trump to another minority. I think even insulting him by calling him fat is perceived as too gauche. But ableism? 100% OK by most of Lemmy.
Follow the guidelines as mentioned in freedesktop
Which guidelines are you talking about? Searching for “proxy” and “environment variables” didn’t pull up anything I saw that would be relevant in this case. I’ve been using linux for a couple of decades now and I’m not sure what rule is being broken here.
It sounds like you didn’t have a proxy set in your environment variables, but you did have one set through another means. It’s somewhat standard practice to have fall-through settings, where if settings aren’t set in one place, a program looks in another place, then maybe another, etc. Now admittedly it would be nice to have a way to disable functionality entirely, but usually that kind of thing happens with command line flags.
I get that it’s frustrating to deal with a problem like this, but ultimately your environment was misconfigured, and that’s going to break some software.
Go find a successful and ambitious person to fall in love with, marry, and be a happy male housewife.
Fun fact: the word husband comes from house-bond, i.e. homeowner. So “house-husband” is in a sense redundant.
Alternatively, find a job you are at least decent at and can tolerate. You don’t need to love your job and be passionate about it to be happy.
https://massgrave.dev/ works just fine with ltsc as well and https://www.pcrf.net/ can always use more money
Those were decisions to change the specific names of specific places, not a decision to handle country names in the general way OP was describing.
why did they decide
Nobody sat down and made a decision to handle country names the way we do. It organically happened the way it did for no particular reason other than it works well enough.
why don’t we change everything back to how the countries’ place names are pronounced by their citizens out of respect
Nobody cares enough to undertake this. I don’t particularly care that people call the US by different names in their languages. People in Turkey aren’t asking us to pronounce their country’s name the same way they do. Most people are happy to apply the inverse golden rule on this, i.e., I don’t pronounce your country’s name the way you do, so I’m not going to expect you to pronounce my country’s name the way I do.
Would it make things harder or would it allow us to grow?
Yes, but I think it would be a lot of work for not much growth. You don’t learn a lot about a place by just pronouncing its name differently.
How did the breaker not trip on that? It had one job
Not quite the same thing, but there’s a project that lets you use TPM to protect your host keys: https://github.com/Foxboron/ssh-tpm-agent
[edit: its primary function is to work with clients but buried in the readme it also explains how to use it for host keys]
I conditioned my statement with “if you are getting by alright”. If nutritional needs aren’t being met that’s not getting by alright. Though I can see how someone might interpret that differently, but that was my intent.
First, it’s OK to not cook. If you are getting by alright without cooking, there’s nothing wrong with that.
Second, I respect you coming here and admitting your fear. Ironically it takes a lot of bravery to do that!
Third, irrational fears and anxieties are a normal part of the human experience. Everybody has them, so though it can feel like you’re being stupid, you’re really just being human (though some might say that’s two ways of saying the same thing).
Fourth, I’m not a therapist or medical professional but the treatment for phobias I am aware of are CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy), and exposure therapy. You can find CBT and ACT workbooks that might be helpful. As for exposure therapy, I think it’s best to work with a professional doing that. Exposure therapy is not just taking the plunge, there’s a process to it. Of course, if you can afford it, talking to a mental health professional is always best.
Good luck!
I’m surprised that works for you, given what happens to him immediately after
For bagged black tea, I use a kettle to boil water, pour it over the bag in a 15 oz mug, and steep for three minutes. If you don’t have a kettle, a microwave works fine (contrary to what snobs say), but be aware that it will be hotter than you’d get from a kettle because it also heats the mug. If the tea is bitter, cut the heat and steep time. If it’s not strong enough, adding more tea leaves is ideal, but adding heat or steep time can also help.
Edit: I don’t agitate tea as it is steeping but I imagine it would have a similar effect to increasing steep time.
Don’t go to https://massgrave.dev/ and follow the instructions there, that would be copyright infringement and would deprive an already insanely wealthy corporation of some funds.
My guess is that it’s related to the Weber-Fechner laws of perception. This is the same principle that explains why turning a second light on doesn’t make a room seem twice as bright. Fechner’s formulation is “the intensity of our sensation increases as the logarithm of an increase in energy rather than as rapidly as the increase.”
I completely agree with his points but enshittification is such a cringey word
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Those who do learn from history are doomed to watch as those who did not learn repeat it.
Fun fact (that I have heard and was not able to verify with a quick search so take this with a grain of salt): the English spoken in the US is closer to the way it was spoken in Britain in the 1700s. The gentry made an intentional change to their pronunciation in response to the rise of the middle class, which filtered down to the masses.
Wat?
Oh, I forgot that Truman, the only person in history to actually use nuclear weapons, famously only did so because he had depression. Or he was a perfectly mentally well person who was also a racist to the extent that he didn’t care about the lives of Japanese children. One of those. I always get it confused.
Anyway, the answer to who I would loan a gun to and who should be capable of launching a nuclear strike is the same: no one. But I would trust your averaged depressed person with the nuclear codes more than I would Trump. To be clear: if Trump has a mental illness, that is not the thing that is wrong with him. What’s wrong with him is that he’s a fascist.
