The areas of Missouri are just low income. I’m from Kansas and I noticed a couple of our yellow counties are college towns.

1·7 months agoI’m testing this app now, just between me and my wife before we give it to the kids. Right now we can only send location updates when we open the app. I’ve tried all the typical things (background battery, always on GPS permissions, etc) without luck. Suggestions? Did you get it to work well for you?

Linux@lemmy.ml•What have been your costliest mistakes in using Linux?English
5·8 months agoMy payroll company came out with a be version that won’t work in Linux. They wouldn’t accommodate me and I was too deep into their ecosystem to change companies so I ended up having to buy a Windows license so I could run a virtual machine every time I had to do payroll.
Edit: My mistake was getting too dependent on a company that doesn’t care about Linux users.

Just because nobody’s mentioned them yet and they are worth trying out: Solus & Void. Both are independent and rolling distributions.

My lunch everyday is the same. 1/2 cup of quick oats mixed with hot water. Costs pennies and helped get me super fit!
I got a very early version of Debian from a friend when I was in college. I had a very old computer gifted to me but couldn’t get Windows to install. I ran that badboy with no window manager, just text. I used elinks for my web browser and pine for email. VI was where I wrote my papers. Drivers were a problem, so I had to save papers on a disk to print from a computer at a library.
Kids in their 20’s aren’t kids, they are adults.

3·10 months agoI think part of the problem is the MMR in the United States is associated with a medical abortion. Certain religious groups won’t take the MMR in account of that. There’s an ethical alternative but it is not commercially available in the US. It would be a good idea to make the alternative strain available here because it would help protect a segment of the population that’s otherwise exposed.
We got married while still in college. Our first was born exactly nine months from the date we married. I kinda expected it to take 18 months of two years but we certainly didn’t mind that things went faster than expected.
People are saying don’t get an echo but this is the tip of an iceberg. My coworkers’ cell phones are eavesdropping. My neighbors doorbells record every time I leave the house. Almost every new vehicle mines us for data. We can avoid some of the problem but we cannot avoid it all. We need a bigger, more aggressive solution if we are going to have a solution at all.
So I have 11 children and am the sole income for my family. Most of my working life I’ve made median or below median income. I’m open to questions for anyone who wants to know how we made this work.
