Conflating LineageOS with forum sourced ROMs is FUD, and the vast majority of servers are run on software from the efforts of the "the community".


>Conflating LineageOS with forum sourced ROMs is FUD

Nonsense. CyanogenMod started off as a forum-sourced ROM on XDA just like anything else [1]. It may have grown beyond that, but only because people blindly trusted it and installed it on their phones 10 years ago, and XDA is still distributing hacked ROMs in the exact same fashion today.

You mean the community of companies that pay people to work on Linux? Most people working on it today aren't volunteers


Cute dog though.


I think they were going for irony.


> Among Native women victims of rape or sexual assault, an average of 67 percent describe the offender as non-Native.

This really changes the tone of the outcry, I had no idea. (the link misquotes the source, but this is irrelevant)


In my opinion, and I believe my opinion has largely been informed by relevant experiences (I grew up in a very racist, anti-indigenous community so I feel as though I had to overcome that before I could see this more clearly), the first nations of Canada and native indians of the United States (like other minorities in the same places) have historically been victims of others rather than of themselves.

I watched awful things growing up. The extent of bullying, the disillusion of first nations kids from _very_ young ages, the poverty - very little of it was perpetrated by first nations. If it was, I strongly believe you can trace things back to deep wounds put in their culture by non-indigenous folks.

As a child I didn't understand much of this, but as I get older it brings me an incredible amount of sadness and disappointment in how insensitive my family and even my peers and colleagues have been towards this situation.

A few years ago I learned from a friend surveying in northern Alberta that several bands up there were living without clean water, with overtly depressed children, terrifyingly high suicide rates, traditional territories ruined by development... And that this isn't uncommon across Canada. This is heart breaking.

All of this is to say, I think it's important to recognize that many of these people are suffering not because of the internals of their culture and communities, but because of the negative and destructive external inputs from those around them. It is crucial to understand the extent of this in order to move towards eradicating the racism which feeds our countries' complacency with this situation.

I hate being political or pushing my opinions on the internet, but this one is too important to me. It really deserves a thoughtful, constructive conversation, at the very least to open others' minds to the realities of what's going on.


Whatever that validity of the metric itself, it's an interesting idea that if a market is different "enough", standard market metrics fall short of their goal.

On the website design, a fixed-width font would be helpful for the numbers. Currently, ETH at $22,898,033,476 looks one digit larger than BTC at $113,768,712,510.


Thanks for the comment.

Good idea, we'll switch to fixed width.


Do you have any recommended resources?


Not OP, but here is one that I liked: The Holistic Orchard Tree Fruits and Berries the Biological Way By Michael Phillips. It covers a variety of topics and different types of fruit trees and berries.


I'd suggest a local nursery. They'll hopefully be able to guide you to ones suited to your area and exposure.
