Maybe not an alternative site, but an alternative perspective. Instead of looking at all items on lemmy, try finding and subscribing to communities that pique your interest, then viewing by subscribed communities.

I know it’s not what you were specifically asking for, and it’s a little more work than just sliding into another site, but it will give you the opportunity to weed out information you are not interested in.

That’s an estimated equivalent 39 billion US dollars drop in revenue from about 300 billion.

That’s not a terrible idea. They might even tell you that your emotions are not uncommon and give you some tips for dealing with it.

Or something else could be going on and you could get some more complete therapy.

One could go for a less aggressive base, like baking soda. It is also slightly gritty.

Alternating between one and the other with hot water and then drying in the sun should be enough to remove the funk.

Pay wall, I guess, unless you paid for it.

Thanks for that. I think the US has lost its mind over guns, and the means are now the end.

It’s part of our fear culture. We always have something to be afraid of, and providing guns is our security blanket.

Yup. A child in my school was killed passing around a found handgun with his friends. I don’t remember the details, but if one of those kids had said something and left it might never have happened.

True. I wouldn’t hand my kids bb guns at 8. I’m also sure you don’t hide dangerous items completely from your kids, and some way demonstrate using them responsibly.

I don’t own any guns myself, so I used nerf rival guns to demonstrate safety to my children. Again, my biggest concerns are what to do with a found firearm, never point one at anything you don’t want to shoot.

I also allowed them to hang out with Grandpa for an afternoon and familiarize themselves with firearms. If they were more interested in firearms, a bb gun would have been okay for them to take out to Grandpa’s firing range. I’m only referring to a spring action device, and my children are a little older.

IDK about where the person you are replying to is from, but I see it as a viable strategy in the US. There are too many stories of children playing with guns and killing someone. Teaching firearm safety and demystifying them is like teaching sex ed.

Not having firearms everywhere is a better answer, but I can only control so much.

I personally use the vinegar instead, but one or another will do the trick.

But like you said, both at once make salt water, which is less effective at killing germs and removing funk.

That’s cool. Looking again, the character in the image is Konoha, the main character in the anime. The dithering is an homage to one of the episodes.

Between the eyes and the dithering, were you inspired by 16-Bit Sensation?

If he was really “One-Punch Man” he’d have wrapped it up in the first episode.

Just kidding! I’m also looking forward to it.

Everyone here giving their hangover tips. I drank 2 BEERS from a six pack last night along with a large cup of electrolyte water and a full belly. I woke up nauseous and have carried a headache all day.

I appreciate your effort here, even if nobody else recognizes it.

Thanks. It’s good to hear someone outline what I was thinking. I’m frustrated that the support response made it sound like we shouldn’t be using the software, but I guess I’ll get over it.

I suspect most of it leans heavily on ghostscript, so they are required to provide AGPL. They would like to obtain support contracts, so support requests are considered out of compliance unless they are paid. I find it interesting that they basically have AGPL+ were plus is whatever they have on their license page in addition to AGPL.

That’s how I feel. I’m not a legal expert either. The caveat to this is that there is a disclaimer on the legal page where you are directed to the AGPL that says that you may not, “Use PDFCreator within an application or service that is not licensed under the terms of the AGPL.”

I’m assuming using the software in a Windows environment is allowed as it is distributed as a Windows application. If you are using the software to accept print jobs to PDF in a manner configurable through the default UI without modifying the code or default files, I’m also hard pressed to call it a violation, regardless of the input application.

I think that the concern from PDFForge is that we were asking for assistance with a feature, which crosses the line in any sort of professional setting.

This is how I expected FOSS to function. If you get a chance, check out their license page, which directs prospective users to the AGPL and also has further restrictions on what users may not do.
