Christmas Ode to January 6.
Sung to the tune of "Jingle Bells"

🎶Bashing through the door
A SWAT team's on the way
Off to jail you go
Agents laughing all the way ("Ha Ha Ha")

Sell your wedding ring
Go bankrupt you just might
It’s no fun, it’s life changing
It's costly just to fight OH

Jingle bells, shackles, cells
Corruption all the way
You can’t run, you can’t hide
SWAT team's on the way HEY

Jingle bells, shackles, cells
Corruption all the way
The fix is in so you can't win
SWAT team's on the way 🎶

I successfully upgraded my Pinephone CE to PostmarketOS 24.12. Their upgrade process really is very simple and polished. It's fast and ever given me any issues. Will have to give this release a test drive although I doubt the battery life will be where I need it to be.

Leads to depression in me if it shows up on my table.
Stereotypes can often be accurate!
https://spsp.org/news-center/character-context-blog/stereotype-accuracy-one-largest-and-most-replicable-effects-all

Stereotypes do not simply materialize out of thin air; they often have roots in observable social patterns and empirical evidence, as supported by extensive research in social psychology. For instance, Lee Jussim's work on stereotype accuracy, detailed in "Social Perception and Social Reality: Why Accuracy Dominates Bias and Self-Fulfilling Prophecy" (2012), indicates that stereotypes can be surprisingly accurate reflections of real group behaviors and characteristics. This accuracy is one of the most replicable findings in social psychology, suggesting that stereotypes are not entirely baseless. Alice Eagly and Anne Koenig's application of social role theory further explains how stereotypes derive from the roles individuals occupy in society. Their research in the "Journal of Personality and Social Psychology" shows that if a group is predominantly seen in certain roles, stereotypes about that group's behaviors or characteristics are likely to form based on these observations.

Stereotypes also serve a predictive function, acting as heuristic tools when specific information about individuals is unavailable. Studies like those by Bargh, Chen, and Burrows (1996) illustrate how stereotypes can subconsciously influence behavior, providing a quick reference for social expectations based on cultural norms or past experiences. Additionally, confirmation bias, as researched by Hamilton and Gifford (1976), shows how individuals tend to notice and remember information that confirms existing stereotypes, contributing to their persistence.

However, the contextual and variable nature of stereotypes is crucial to understand. Susan T. Fiske's research on ambivalent sexism and ageism highlights how stereotypes can vary by culture, context, and the interdependence of social groups. Her findings in "Perspectives on Psychological Science" explore how these stereotypes can be both prescriptive and descriptive, reflecting societal structures and power dynamics.

>>> While stereotypes can reflect certain social realities, their application to individuals is often inappropriate and can lead to unfair judgments and discrimination.

Hi all!

In time for the holidays, I released a 1.0 release of GTK-Mesgtastic-Client: gitlab.com/kop316/gtk-meshtast . I decided on the 1.0 release as I think several folks have been using it (to success), and I have likewise been using it with success.

✨ Nextcloud team wishes you a Happy Holiday Season! ☃️✨

Enjoy a joyful few days with your loved ones, your favourite traditions and recharging your batteries. Let’s get ready for an inspiring journey ahead!

Here’s to a successful and rewarding New Year ahead! 🥂🎁

well people are posting these so here goes. Most of my gaming these days is done on GOG and Itch.io so it isn't as high as it used to be on these lists.:

From what I understand FuriOS is forked from Droidian. So how dependant is FuriOS on Droidian ? For instance would me as an owner of an FLX1 supporting Droidian benefit FuriOS at all ?
