More disinformation: the full name is Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

Do half a second of research.

I'd love to know where that setting is. As far as I've been able to see, I'd have to rebuild mastodon myself to be able to do that, and that's just less convenient for me than pulling the default docker images

I play Heroes of the Storm through Lutris.
I have a superultrawide 32:9 monitor.
In X11, I can get HotS to scale past its normal limits just like I could in windows and take up a full 5120x1440 resolution.
In Wayland, I can't.
I will die on this hill.

Right? Like, damn.

I don't care about Rust, myself, but I've been happier with Jetbrains IDEs than anything else, and then my work pays for a universal license to all of their products anyway for me.

I'm sorry, but I think you might just hate Java. Because that very much sounds like a Java problem.

As someone of color (Indian) who is often mistaken as being foreign/religious until they hear my accent...

I feel the other commenters here are missing the mark. This isn't about fixing them, or learning to "accept them as they are": bigots should never be tolerated.

Which is to say, your reasons for being "bigoted" towards the bigots isn't a matter of prejudice: you've extrapolated a pattern.

But you don't want to apply this pattern unfairly to people you haven't met, because that'd make you bigoted as well.

Well, I have good news for you: you aren't at any risk for that. Real bigots don't think they're bigots. People with prejudices don't consider their judgement unsound. They think they're the most unbiased, reasonable people in the world, and often try to push their opinions on others with violence, whether it's verbal, social, or physical.

By simply acknowledging internally that you have thoughts that you consider unideal, and unfair, you've done a thousand times more self-reflecting, and have more capacity for self-correcting, than someone like my parents would.

Don't try to beat the bad thoughts out of yourself. Acknowledge them, and pledge to act better than they'd have you.

In the past months, Momika, a refugee from Iraq, has desecrated the Quran in a series of anti-Islam protests mostly in Stockholm that have caused anger in many Muslim countries. Swedish police have allowed his actions, citing freedom of speech.

Good shit.

All I need is a few good men

To add onto this:

Home Assistant isn't "yet another" service. It's not trying to do vendor lock in: you can think of Home Assistant kinda like a "glue" framework.

It's meant to let you systemically attach devices/software across any number of mediums, and pre-existing services, and let them play nice.

So if you've already gone and set up your Google Home, or Alexa, or Apple Homekit, you don't have to abandon them to use Home Assistant.

Sometimes you can't even get away from it: the thermostat that came with our rental basically only has a useful Samsung Smartthings integration, but we can still use it with Home Assistant.

It seems to be available for sale on Amazon Video, Apple TV, Google TV, the Microsoft Store, and Vudu (source: https://watch.plex.tv/show/star-trek-strange-new-worlds)
