Rural poor checking in.

I’ve lived in a camper, and then in the back of a convenience store my patents ran. Eventually upgraded to a doublewide. But I went to a rural school with like 40 kids that were all also poor. One kid and his family were miners living in a series of vans upon blocks by the mine. My best friend and his family lived in a half used rundown motel, the other half too broken down to bother living in. The richest kid was a rancher’s family that lived in a barndominium.

So every family on TV was rich to me, but it was TV, so I figured it was all fantasy land anyway. Star Trek wasnt real, either. I had seen a “normal” school before 3rd grade, but by high school and college, people that thought Nickelodeon (which I didn’t see until college anyway) shows were relatable at all just seemed like space aliens to me. I was likely more the space alien to them.

Sorry if it seemed smug at all. The “My my” was more being happy that the Fdroid app repo is pulling it’s weight and a valuable resource that fascists seem to over look.

Don’t insult this cat!

My, my. Look at all the open source, privacy focused period trackers in the Fdroid store.

There’s a good chance another seagull ate the body before it was even cold.

Can’t happen fast enough.

I’ve modded some small but active enough to need real coverage subs on reddit. It’s a real job. People are too weird to self-moderate.

It was my first Lemmy love.

Fair point. I also code useless silly things as a hobby, so I guess maybe I’m no one to talk. But I also don’t have the skills to peak around the Linux Mint errors list and just give one or two a go, which, selfishly, benefits me as a Mint user.

I feel the same way about Linux distros.

There’s something like 500+ actively updated distros. 39% (according to some random article from 2020) are used by less than 0.1% of users.

Y’all… Spend that time and energy other open source projects that need the help!

All us babies here smoking cigars and betting on horses like some Fediverse Baby Herman army.

Uh…I mean 225 backup plans! Yeah.

And 2 to 5 backup plans.

Has it been so long since Hamilton came out that you kids forgot this was even a plot point there?

After a significant amount of:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/France_in_the_American_Revolutionary_War

French elites and non-Arisocrats got familiar with the American revolution enough to both see the post-Enlightenment period ideals as socially palatable, and also see that an internal conflict supported by an external power could be successful.

Expecting reciprocal aid from the Americans (womp womp), the French Revolution started, and the Americans stayed out of it because they still saw their support as from the Kingdom of France despite commonalities of both reasons and even people involved in the French Revolutionary side.

I was speaking for blonde-haired, blue-eyed Jesus.

Caffeine is the only positive codependent addiction ever recorded.

The US exported the Revolution to France.

Find Nick Cage and we can get the idea out of Ben Franklin’s family vault where he kept all his porno mags.

Edit: kids, while the French Revolution was likely inevitable by 1779, and many factors mutually supportive between the two, French military involvement in the American Revolution kick started their timeline. Downvote all you like, history does support this. Literally, History (channel).
