Yes, already was pretty anxiety-ridden about the non-action I've seen from the biggest economy in the world, and after reading the paper Deep Adaptation: A Map for Navigating Climate Tragedy[0] by Jem Bendell, can say I'm much less thrilled about our chances, especially if the denial is still there as "the science has always been wrong in predicting the end, because we are still here..."

Sounds to me like some sort of hot hand fallacy with the chips being billions of lives. Problem is coming too fast, with too much at stake, for the powers that be to still act as if we have all the time in the world to do something about it. But people still believing there is a way to reverse course may keep this twisted musical chairs we are playing, going for a little bit longer.

Will there be humans still around? Maybe, chances are there will be descendants of ones who could and did hoard material, but everyone else? Not so sure on that front.

But hey, all the fascination with total societal collapse coming via zombies. super villains, or the like may have some weirdos actually pining for that. Lets see what happens when the death cults start popping up.

Been meaning to get this task done myself, but past attempts haven't worked out.

This post is making me give it another shot soon.

That logo was the one that was voted on* to replace the old bash logo IIRC.

This is really a neat site, thank you. Have lived in LA all my life, so recognizing places was really fun.

Makes one want to take pictures themselves so they don't forget it.

I have to agree with the homeless bit, ride on the red line and after a certain point it becomes a mobile homeless shelter. Have heard stories of the blue line, and I'm just glad I don't need to ride that one often at all.

Sympathetic to those without a home, but it almost makes one want to never ride on the metro or bus again. Which is especially hard since I have no other means of transportation.

Wow, thank you for this.

What a shame it wasn't built.

Lovely series, but first thing I thought of when reading the article was The Americans, it's about two spies in the Soviet illegals program living in a DC suburb.

Would definitely recommend it if you liked Deutschland 83.

Maybe you meant "Nobodies jaywalk in Los Angeles", because I may (or may not be) doing it sometimes.

Definitely not main streets though, that would be like playing frogger on the hardest difficulty. Already feel like I'm playing it at crosswalks.

There is NitroKey[0], which seemed to me like a good alternative to Yubikey, but I haven't ordered either yet so I can't say I have first-hand experience. But much luck if you decide to go with it, something I'm looking more and more into, especially since I too use password-store and it would be good having an easier to use setup that is still secure.

No, the area (a working class neighborhood) isn't so highly sought, so I'm not surprised it isn't going for a higher price.

Should get the dependencies first I think. The github[0] page goes into detail on what they are.

Which is funny since I have changed my hosts file and use uBlock Origin and extensions like that for anything that might have missed.

Yeah been seeing the Yahoo logo on the bottom right of my DDG results, for a couple weeks now.

Not going to be moving away because of this, we'll see if it gets even better.

redshift*, had to correct you, big fan and use it all the time.

Still not sure what to think of Electron built applications.

Maybe it is my older laptop, but still feels odd to me. I'll have to think about it some more, since even more stuff is being made with it.

Oh sweet, was looking for something like this, just didn't want to look for it yet.

Thanks a bunch.

When I was streaming with pandora, grooveshark, and spotify I was constantly hearing new songs.

But that's just because before I was content with listening to the same stuff repeatedly, never did look out for more music on my accord.

Stopped doing streaming, but open to getting back into it, found some great music that way.

Can't even use signal on my phone, due to not having GAPPS installed.

It's too bad, because I would use it otherwise.

I use keepassx (https://www.keepassx.org/). Works well and I am able to sync it with ownCloud I have on a VPS.

Also, I only use my machines to log on to services, can't bring myself to trust anyone else's machine.

For android use, I have Keepass2Droid (https://keepass2android.codeplex.com/)

I really love it when an open source alternative born.

Will check this out!
