The podcast 12 Rules For What has been helping me see all the fissures in the far right, and how heterogeneous they are

Guys don't blow our cover. We absolutely are masters of organizing, and we always put aside our petty differences for the cause. That's just who we are at our core, sorry not sorry

You can download it here: http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/250/SimAnt+-+The+Electronic+Ant+Colony.html You'll need DosBox or some other emulator to run it

This is a tankie nightmare. I'm a border control agent? And if I fuck up my wages are reduced? Seems like you answered the opposite of my question

Moneyless Harvest Moon-type game? (beehaw.org)
 

I have such a love/hate relationship with Stardew Valley, slightly less so with My Time At Portia (the developers seem to have at least considered wrist strain in the button layout and mechanics). I long for a moneyless, classless game in this genre where the incentives are community thriving, trust, pleasure, and all the other aspects that make life worth worth living outside of capitalism. Does that game exist?

How do you deal with depression about climate change? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] friendly_ghost@beehaw.org 3 points 3 weeks ago

I am grieving hard, and grief includes a lot of different feelings and experiences. Yes, there is depression, but there is also anger and reflection and the chance to find joy amidst the horror. My priorities have changed. I used to want to leave a legacy for the next generation; now I want to live in defiance of the evils that have ravaged our beautiful planet. Fuck billionaires, politicians, and cowardly centrist news outlets. Fuck them in perpetuity, until they rot away in their apocalypse bunkers. I will burn bright and hot to the end--that will be my legacy.

OK, whew. That would bring the volume down to 65 cubic inches, or just over 1 liter

Why is predictive text so hard to disable? (beehaw.org)
 

Does anyone know, or can anyone guess, the business case for predictive text? On phone apps, it is often incredibly difficult to turn off. Why is that, do you think? (The examples I have recent experience with are Facebook and Outlook mobile apps.)

I would have thought that, for AI training purposes, they would want humans typing things and not just regurgitating canned responses. But apparently not?

For a game that turns 40 years old next month, it's unreal what we are learning about Tetris (www.youtube.com)
 

This video documents the recent feats of 15-year-old Tetris master Alex T, and the discoveries players make by pushing the game farther than it has any right to go

Petition to allow local announcers to call playoff games (www.change.org)
 

Petitions are annoying, but I'm hoping some of us will want to sign this one! The goal is simple: Have the National Hockey League create a solution where the local broadcast announcers of the home team handle the broadcast for every nationally-televised game, such as the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Finding projects that need user testing? (beehaw.org)

I'm digging into the world of #FOSS #opensource and would like to help with existing projects. My programming chops are not sharp yet, but I'm a detail-oriented communicator who knows a bit about user testing.

How do I find projects on GitHub, GitLab, or other sites that need this kind of help? The machines I would be testing on are a potato desktop running Pop_OS Linux and an Android phone. Thanks in advance!

Can I email or text myself through Python or bash? (beehaw.org)

EDIT: Thanks y'all! I got this working by installing mutt and configuring it with my Gmail info. Please note the warning from u/jherazob below--if this were something mission critical I would not want to rely on this solution.

================

Noob question incoming, thanks in advance for any help with this!

I have a specific use case in which I want to send an automated email or text to myself once a day (the message is different each time--otherwise I would just set an alarm, lol!). I'm running Pop_OS on an old desktop computer. Where I'm stuck is getting an email to successfully send from the command line. I'm looking for easy-to-follow instructions that would help me do that, and none of the articles or videos I've come across thus far have helped.

I'm aware of Twilio and other services that send SMS messages, but I'm looking for something free. Especially since I only need to text one person (myself), and infrequently at that.

Below is my attempt to send an email with the telnet command. Nothing ever came through...
