Congratulations! You've passed the admission test for @Polygeekery Academy!
The exact grade depends on whose house was it exactly, and whether they deserved it.

@Vixen Another goal would be to get rid of your leader too, as he seems to love bashing on my country for no reason.
Too bad our choices suck.

That's very nice of him. But you do realize the kind of hardware he has a tendency of running, right?

Probably not worse than it running alongside Docker and Chrome and Minecraft and VSCode on my laptop. If anything, it should have more RAM than usual (2GB dedicated is better than whatever's left over of 16GB while I do other shit).

This time, he used brand new hardware.
He bought a new toaster and a 2gig USB key

Status: I looked up why Chad Vader ended. I really should stop researching stuff. They basically stopped because they thought they should receive, at an absolute minimum, $10K for every four-minute episode.
This was hot off the heels of reading 80stees.com try to justify $40 T-shirts. They follow labor laws in Vietnam, whoop-t-fucking-doo. Why can all of these other places do that for a third of the price? Or source from the US for less than two thirds?
Then I realized I've been paid an awful lot for a dozen or so word salad documents and flow charts.
And now I'm off to mail out some orders. The big question on my mind is if I should reorder boxes. Will I follow through on a storefront or will I just stop selling online when eBay collapses? Decisions...

I just saw a local lawyer commercial: "I don't win; you don't pay me!"

@TwelveBaud said in The Official Status Thread:
@Tsaukpaetra You don't need CFW for that...
The only way I know how to do that is either by setting an obscure value in a file available only in root mode.
Or a CFW that has the option there in Settings.No carrier-based firmware I've ever seen has let me do it in UI, so... Money where your mouth is?

@Tsaukpaetra After installing your keyboard app:
Settings -> System -> Languages and Input -> Virtual Keyboard
Turn on yours, then turn off GBoard. Available in stock Q on my Pixel.

I was talking about DPI and how everything is huge enough a caveman manipulating the screen with their tongue could use it.

@Tsaukpaetra Okay. This one isn't as flexible as the settings file hack method, but works well enough for those of us without robotic micrometer-precision manipulators.
Settings -> Display -> Advanced -> Display Size -> down two notches to "Small"
Settings -> Display -> Advanced -> Font Size -> down one notch to "Small"

Settings -> Display -> Advanced -> Font Size -> down one notch to "Small"Unfortunately it does not work well enough for me, hence custom firmware to let me do it right and not just change the text size.
The "Display Size" gets me to about 40% of where I want it to be.

@Vixen Another goal would be to get rid of your leader too, as he seems to love bashing on my country for no reason.
He also seems intent on removing the right to life, liberty, and happiness of anyone who does not worship the ground he walks on, or fails to have the correct age/skintone/sex/level of wealth that he approves of.
so, yeah. if you can figure out a way to remove him from existence, possibly by creating a time paradox where he never existed in the first place, that would be great.
I read in the news today how Trump's personally appointed and conservative judge voted in favour of a law forbidding firing people for them being gay and/or trans. Seems putting a pedantic dickweed going 100% by the law text did not work in his favour this time. So it's no longer allowed to fire someone just for being gay and/or trans in the US.

generally yes, unless the firing is actually for a protected discrimination reason thingy.
and a suit can be brought that the firing was for discrimination even if a reason is given that says it isn't that. so it's a damn good idea to always fire for cause and document the shit out of the procedure so if a discrimination suit is filed you have an open&shut defense
of course if people as a whole stopped being racist bigoted assholes.... this wouldn't be an issue in the first place... but apparently being racist sexist misogynistic homo/transphobic assholes is the new hip thing among a certain population group.
Not to name any names or anything.

Status: Just saw a video shared on facebook with a part of an interview with the German health minister, without any information attached to what it's about or why people are sharing it specifically (they mostly do for a reason other than just spreading official information).
I watched it and he explained that with the currently low numbers we need to take care to not just arbitrarily test millions of people for no reason (assuming we have that capacity now), because the tests also have a low but existing false positive rate. And with currently low case numbers and huge test numbers those false positives would start to dominate.Everything he said was factually correct. This is a standard problem that everyone who knows the first thing about statistics or medical testing has heard about. He also explained it reasonably well in 2 minutes, considering he's a politician and you can't dumb it down completely, and didn't make any political statements.
Okay, interesting detail, but not something I'd expect to make the rounds on social media. So I go to the comments and much to my surprise pretty much everyone in there is bashing him what kind of idiot he is. Stupid politician, doesn't know what he's talking about, talks like a "Hauptschüler" and stuttering, fake pandemic, etc. etc.
Big oof. The fucking morons don't even understand what he's saying but complain that he took a minute to explain that concept. They can't formulate two coherent sentences without heaps of grammatical and spelling errors but go around saying he's an idiot. They complain that, basically, this garbage is what we have for government and he should be teared and feathered and then chased away. There was one single commenter I could find who was as confused as I am, asking what the agitation is about and saying that everything was factually correct.These people have the right to vote but barely enough brains to breathe.
