  • I’m not saying I think you’re endorsing the Taliban; I’m saying that people won’t read that closely into what you’re saying and THINK you are.

    And even though the Taliban aren’t committing genocide (which I never said they were, I should’ve been clearer that the Hitler example was hyperbole for the sake of making a point), the human rights violations their government is committing are reprehensible. That’s why it’s an issue to say “they were just protecting their homeland”: they kicked foreign invaders off their land to treat their own citizens just as poorly (if in different ways). It looks like you’re taking up for a group that’s pretty worthy of villainization.


  • First, while hallucination is a common symptom of schizophrenia (and that includes hallucinations involving ANY of the five senses), it is not a REQUIREMENT to be diagnosed with schizophrenia.

    There is nothing wrong with having a mental illness. Having a mental illness does not make you a bad person. That said, it does sound like whatever is going on with your head (whether it’s schizophrenia or not) is interfering with your life in a negative way.

    As much as it can seem like they don’t care, most doctors aren’t actively looking to screw you over, but at the same time, 1000 bucks is indeed a lot of money. You probably shouldn’t be going to a psychiatrist without also going to a licensed clinical psychologist for therapy. Developing a good and trusting therapeutic relationship will give you the space to figure out what’s actually going on with your head AND it will give any psychiatrist you see someone to work with to figure out diagnoses.

    Please find a therapist you trust and feel safe with, possibly someone who specializes in psychosis because you seem to occasionally detach from reality (based on what you’re saying at least, in my very unprofessional but somewhat educated opinion). And regardless of what you do, please don’t stop trying to improve your life; you deserve to have a happy life!









  • Aux is only keeping the code on GitHub temporarily because money is tight and there are very few options for a soft fork of a repo as huge and active as nixpkgs. Plus, they want ease of accessibility for devs considering it’s a very new project.

    Long term plans are to move off of GitHub. I’m pretty sure some people are talking to Codeberg to see how feasible it would be to move there in the future.



  • Okay? OpenSUSE Leap is a point release by and for companies. While Fedora isn’t necessarily a server distro, it IS a point release designed with enterprise use in mind.

    If we look at both of their strictly enterprise counterparts, I’ve never heard of any complaints about SUSE and any complaints with RHEL I’ve heard are with source availability. Neither of them have the mega amounts of bad publicity of Canonical.


  • Then, on the way home after the hunt, as Noem stopped to talk to a local family, Cricket escaped Noem’s truck and attacked the family’s chickens, “grabb[ing] one chicken at a time, crunching it to death with one bite, then dropping it to attack another”.

    Cricket the untrainable dog, Noem writes, behaved like “a trained assassin”.

    When Noem finally grabbed Cricket, she says, the dog “whipped around to bite me”. Then, as the chickens’ owner wept, Noem repeatedly apologised, wrote the shocked family a check “for the price they asked, and helped them dispose of the carcasses littering the scene of the crime”.
