Obligatory “leave the leaves” if you can. Insects and small animals use the leaf litter and they’re good for soil creation (thanks, worms and fungi). Wondering why you don’t see as many lightning bugs/fireflies nowadays? Leave your leaves and they’ll have places to lay their eggs. Avoid becoming a member of the cult of the lawn!


As a native plant lover and invasive plant hater, I support this and please don’t stop.


Yup, enshittification comes for everything in the end. The profit motive takes no prisoners.


The company that currently owns Bandcamp laid off all of the union bargaining team members when they acquired Bandcamp, or rather, didn’t extend an offer of employment to all of them which is effectively a layoff or firing. Just adding on to your comment so people are more aware, in case they need extra convincing to only buy from Bandcamp on that day (or preferably not at all). Purchase directly from artists whenever possible. Pretty sure those workers who were fired are still seeking resolution, and I don’t think Songtradr, the company that acquired Bandcamp, ever recognized the union even though they voted yes in their vote to unionize with OPEIU months before the acquisition. Go here for more info.


And included in half the staff was every member of their union bargaining committee. The workers got done dirty when that sale to Songtradr happened. I’m not even sure if Songtradr has recognized the union yet. They had just won their election (overwhelmingly) and the sale happened right after that.
I legit got this notification on my phone while reading this comment. I do the same and will continue to do the same.
There were people there before New Spain and Mexico claimed the land. I imagine they’re qualifying it using something like the map I linked.


Agreed. If a cop wants to cop badly, there’s not much you and I or anyone else can do about it besides speak up and hope they listen. And if they don’t, don’t resist and just sue later.


Just FYI to anyone who is reading this thread: In ALL states, even the ones with stop and ID laws, the cops have to have reasonable, articulable suspicion that you have committed, are commiting, or are about to commit a crime. 4th amendment right, also lots of case law.


I’ve played it on Linux Mint while some friends were on Windows, didn’t have any issues :)
Not really content related, but why does the author keep referring to the NYT as The Times and “former” New York Times? Have they begun a name change process or something?
Just fyi, they answered your question further down in the thread without replying to you by accident I think. I saw your question and also wanted to know, just passing that along in case you were still curious lol
