Outside of the thought experiment, banning books is different than choosing to not preserve them or keep them in a collection.
Removing a book that would otherwise fit the criteria of preservation just because it covers a "politicized" topic is different than a book becoming low value, getting superseded by newer editions, or no longer being worth preserving by that particular institution.

If we're just talking archival and my goal isn't to increase access and availability to those books, then I'd also consider the availability of the book generally outside of my collection. My institution may not personally need to preserve some major holy books, new popular novels, classics, books still in print, because other institutions, people, and culture overall are doing that preservation work for us. I would focus instead on things that are more at risk (e.g.less popular but still important.)
With a watchful eye of course to notice when a book is losing popularity and needs an additional hand to preserve properly.
I'm not a librarian though and defer to them as experts here. They're much better at this than anyone else.

I think it might depend on if the person mooning is moving toward the victim and if the victim is "in range" of...the butt.
If someone was backing that (bare) ass up on me I'd definitely feel threatened, or if they moon me so close that they might spray me.

The alternative isn't controlling how people use chatbots on their own machines. It's limiting corporations from profiting off of chatbots that use another person's likeness.
You don't need to jump to assuming regulations would have to control what you do on your computer specifically.

If you're memorizing your password, don't change it too often because it'll just confuse you and encourage you to pick easy to remember passwords which are less secure. Change your password if you hear about a hack, or have reason to suspect your password got leaked. Otherwise there's no need.
If you have a password manager though, go off. Change it as often as you'd like.
(Also 2FA, unique passwords per site, etc etc etc)

A Windows VM running Windows terminal, SSH'd back into the host, obviously.
Honestly I stick with whatever the default is and never had a problem that led me to find anything else.

Look at Amazon and their Fire TV platform. It's just android, with all of the Google stuff stripped out.
Sure, Google may not be getting any money for that, but they are getting more dev time and attention on the open source parts of Android which helps to solidify the base of the OS which helps them.
And Android got popular because it was open and manufacturers could build phones that support it without necessarily needing to involve Google (or at least without needing to certify it or meet strict standards) which let the platform grow significantly. If Google closed it up today it would likely cause a fork in the Android platform ecosystem and you'd end up with "Google Android" on pixel and "Open Android" on all others.

It's a good backup of other services fail, or if you need a backup ride when busses are too spaced out or too indirect.
I try to avoid them except that my city's taxis charged me $120 for half of what would have been a $50 Uber ride (I left the cab early) so I don't trust them anymore.

Absolutely. I should have clarified Uber's/Lyft's scheduling is the scam. At least a hotel would be willing to call a second taxi company if the first one flakes. Uber would never.

No legal issues at all. Worst case they will blackball you from interviewing at that company for a few years, and tell other companies in that industry, or others that work with those recruoters at least, that you're a flake and try to get you blackballed there too. And that's going to be incredibly rare and only really happen if you're an asshole about it or no-call-no-show the interview and waste their time.
Politely decline to continue with them, they'll probably appreciate that you're being honest and not wasting their time interviewing you for you to just say no later.
"I've decided to pursue other endeavors, thank you for your time".

Lol ride scheduling is a scam though. Last I saw they don't make any promises that you'll actually get a ride, they just automatically request it for you shortly before your scheduled time and you have to hope a driver is available.
Sure its one less thing to think about, but it's also no different from doing it manually. Same risks.

The last update I heard (granted that was weeks ago now) was that the capsule was faulty but still perfectly functional for reentry. They just wanted to do more testing first since reentry would also destroy their opportunity to learn more about what's wrong.
Its apparently still entirely functional for emergency reentry.

Did it die or did it just change? Gaming is still a huge industry and online games are still super popular. What do you mean it "died"?

It seems like incels, or at least Tate-holes, treat every conversation as a challenge with the reward being sex.
Just be friends with people. Who fucking cares if you end up in a romantic relationship, allow yourself to form close intimate friendships that aren't physical.

Finding pockets of self sufficiency, or at least ways to prevent falling down to the bottom.
Universal basic income helps this by making sure everyone has at least enough to live on.
Homesteading and community gardens help this by making sure you at least have some basic amount of food available to you.
Building walkable cities helps.this by allowing you to avoid or reduce the expenses of a car.
Building resilient cities that leverage adaptive reuse help this by making it cheaper to start new small community businesses that keep money local.
The solutions aren't in the system of money we choose, it's in building small sustainable ways to provide for basic needs, even in a small way.

Many registrars let you buy a domain and set up dynamic DNS for it within their system so you can own a domain and get dyndns on it.
Otherwise you could accomplish it with a VPS but you'd only need the smallest one available because it would just need to run nginx to forward to your home ip (and a small tool to update that IP when it changes). So you could probably get something for less than $5/mo.
Does anyone have any recommendations for issue tracking for homelab setups? I'm sure I could host some Jira clone but that feels overkill for what I'm doing, and something like MediaWiki is too general purpose. I'm hoping to track future project ideas (Install Jellyfin / Sonarr, etc) and issues with my smarthome (Fireplace Light not accepting color changes via Google Assistant). Ideally with some kind of organization to it (priorities, subitems, etc). Yeah I could use plaintext, but that's no fun :)
