Maybe it's just me, but if I need to create an account on your online newspaper to read a 'free gift article', I firmly believe said 'free gift article' isn't actually 'free'.
You see 'Free' can mean 'without payment' and it can mean 'unencumbered' and I would argue this 'free gift article' fails both of those meanings: The case for the latter assertion seems obvious, but for the former let me point out your personal information has value – otherwise they wouldn't care.
Whether it's through acts of kindness, volunteering in local communities, or supporting causes that promote social and environmental justice, everyone has the power to make a positive difference.
Let's spread love and connection wherever we go.
Together, we can build a brighter future for ourselves and future generations. ❤️ #LoveAndConnection #GlobalCommunity

Imagine getting arrested for the body you've always wanted? Well, that's exactly what happened to the Harvard University morgue manager.
Dark humor aside, Harvard University Medical School Morgue Manager Cedric Lodge and his wife were stealing and selling the scalps, heads, skin, bones, and hearts of those who would be used by medical students. Whoa, if that isn't fucked up enough...
From the article:
"That's where the investigation originated, after local police in the township of East Pennsboro found a bucket of body parts in the basement of a collector and reseller named Jeremy Pauley. The discovery led investigators back to the Lodges, who they say were a hub in a nationwide network that sold or traded human remains."

Late to the party vermutlich, aber heute morgen wurde ich auf die weltbewegende Tatsache hingewiesen, dass Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, sich mit #WTF abkürzen lassen. WTF. 🤯

Remember a week or so ago, when I posted a link to an article about elderly nuns who escaped from a retirement home they had been sent to and sneaked back into their convent, which the church had closed; then used #SocialMedia to embarrass the church leadership who had kicked them out?
The rebel nuns are back in the news. The church offered to let them stay if they got off Instragram. They refused and stayed anyway.

Good for them!
Been fighting Debian #Trixie 13 for two days now. It seems to be impossible to auto mount an NFS4 share at boot. Manually it works fine.
Not even with `ro,auto,sync,default,hard,noatime,retrans=15,x-systemd.after=network-online.target,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.requires=network-online.target,_netdev,clientaddr=
192.0.2.13` in `fstab`.
This used to work in Debian #Bookworm 12, Ubuntu jammy (22) and noble (24).
Next attempt: `autofs` or directly in OCI container
Changed my strategy, due to a race condition between systemd mounting #NFS and #docker creating bind volumes.
Trying to mount NFS directly from within a container defined as a volume. Works when deployed with #ansible, but only during runtime. At boot, the container is started before the NFS volume is ready causing the container to fail starting.
This issue is 100% reproducible and can be found online everywhere going back for years. No solution to be found.

I'm not sure if I follow.

Patriachy doesnt exist because women are now *allowed* to correctly state a fact that contradicts a male assertion
They may be:
Paid less
Mocked
Ignored
Threatened
Assulted
For being correct but disagreeing is allowed
So thats ok, thanks Clint - wanker
