Please help if you can! Queen City Cat Lounge is an adoption center I visit frequently here in Vermont and their window was vandalized last night. Fortunately they had double glass for the cats' safety, but the broken outer window needs to be fixed ASAP. www.gofundme.com/f/repair-and...
Poster with a black and white screenshot of security footage showing a man peering into the front window of a cat adoption center. Text says "please help Queen City cat lounge recover. last night someone broke the window at Queen City cat lounge - an adoption center that has placed hundreds of cats in loving homes. the cats are all safe but the window needs to be replaced quickly!"

We owe $40 trillion because a critical mass of the American People refuse to decide between a reduction in living standards or a tax hike. Literally it. “Why everything cost money” is why we owe $40 trillion. The choice will be made for them eventually and it’s not the tax one.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Anyone know how to 'lock' browsers and folders and apps into opening in a location of my choosing, at the size I prefer, and to not move or resize without being deliberately 'unlocked' in Linux? Specifically Mint Cinnamon? I've been poking on and none of the answers I can find apply. #linux

I finally upgraded to a wireless keyboard and decided to "go all out" (within budget) and got the Ducky Zero 6108 Wireless Mechanical Backlit keyboard. It's not quite as large as I'd like, but it has all the keys and is heavy enough to bludgeon a man to death with. (It's plugged in to recharge.)

It's weird having two personal PCs going at once, I really need to get some wireless mice and keyboards for this newer one... ... also because once I finish switching over, I have another 'newish' computer to set up with Linux (or maybe even Win7... I won't be using it on the ankient box anymore).

Also, apparently the newer (it's still pretty old, but it's not over 20 years old like the ankient box) linux compy has a graphics chip, so I should be able to play some of my older games on it. Granted it's a UHD 630 Intel GPU, so we're not talking fancy-dancy gaming, but it's better than nuthin.

My first post from the Mint Cinn box. It's mildly awkward, semi-familiar, but also very different. At least my Mozilla settings synced easily, so I didn't have to rebuild my bookmarks. But I don't have any of my preferred programs on this box, so it'll be awhile before I switch to it permanently.

(reposting with alt text) Important information for artists & commissioners who use paypal
drowzistatic: IMPORTANT PAYPAL PSA FOR ARTISTS & CLIENTS Hey, please read this because a LOT of people don't know until it's already too late. PayPal actively scans payment notes, and accounts are getting flagged, limited, or permanently banned over certain keywords. When that happens, they can freeze your money for 180+ days. For clients / commissioners: DO NOT put these in the payment note: "Commission" "NSFW" PAYPAL IS STRICTLY AGAINTS ANY SORT NSFW CONTENT AS IT VIOLATES THEIR TOS. 
"Tip" or "Donation" (if you're paying for a service) AS MUCH AS US ARTIST APPRECIATES OUR CLIENTS SUPPORT, PLEASE NEVER SPECIFY A TIP. 
PayPal uses bots / Al that look for these words (especially anything tied to adult content) to enforce their AUP. (Acceptable use policy) 
For artists: • ALWAYS use vague, SFW descriptions "Digital Illustration" "Artwork Services" "Creative Services"

Musk tells GOP he wants them to focus heavily on attacks against trans people, apparently inspired by his bitter feud with his trans daughter but he also believes that hate campaigns generally motivate and bring out the GOP base. He is funding a series of anti-trans ads going into the campaign.
