I’m staying in the paramount hotel and we have a bunch of stuff planned, but I want nothing more than to pet a bodega cat. I found one yesterday in a little florist stand but I wanna step into an actual bodega and pet one. Which ones would be close to the hotel? Google Maps gave me Grace 48 Deli but is there truly a cat there?

I'm thinking of getting a laptop for running some linux stuff and experimenting away from my university stuff, but how can I get my jellyfish stuff up and running on it? The plan was to put it all on that laptop and just take it off the Windows one entirely for the sake of storage and I already know to back up the app data, but is that the first thing or down the line? I'm mostly looking for a step by step guide and i refuse to ask chatgpt about it

I've landed on that side of insta and it's all made me curious to build one, but what are some ideas for a case if I dont have a 3d printer/never 3d printed anything before? I'm a bit worried about making a glue+duct tape one that actually stays together (I'll calculate financial stuff later). Additionally, i've heard some security worry about where some of the raspberry pi bits come from and had orange pi suggested as an alternative. What do y'all think of them?

Edit: another thing I forgot to include in the title, what're the sub's thoughts on gentoo as a cyberdeck os? I have a guy in a chatroom im in who's rather pretentious about it

My mom has always somewhat of a liberal zionist, like hates Net but still condemns hamas and gets all dramatic about oct. 7th. Basically, anything russia touches such as Hamas is bad, and anything against Russia such as democrat-run america is good; if they're a republican they must be a russian puppet. I just chalked it up to regular bias at that point - I suppose any place was better than Russia in the 90s. I didn't realize the extent until i went snooping through her facebook. I was already there bc sometimes Marketplace has better deals than Ebay, and her whole profile just makes me irrationally upset. Her pfp already made me upset being a painted israeli flag with what I'm told is basically "leave us alone" in russian. And then here goes the whole thing about sexual abuse and dead kids from Oct. 7th, most of which I guarantee is either an outright lie or actually comittedf by the IDF. Then here goes reposting some psychologists open letter to Mamdani's wife and calling her a "strange creature". Here goes condemning Greta after her suitcase was all messed up after her release. Here she goes saying that the starving children in gaza are fake (more specifically from a post about sudan, translated from russian: "It’s not like cursing Jews, or spreading fakes about 'starving' children in Gaza, or shouting 'From the river to the sea!' on college campuses. It’s cool to scream about a fake genocide and cancel Israeli festivals—you’re trendy, you’re with your own—but when a real genocide, not a made-up one, is right before your eyes—you somehow fade away"). Oh and ofc a little denialism mixed in bc why the hell not. Not even touching how she says Palestinians are jordanian by blood or being one of those "they had plenty of time to evacuate" people and "what if you were gay in gaza" people - which btw I can never argue with her about and say homophobia is no excuse for bombing bc she would absolutely bomb florida if she got the chance. I think it is now that I officially hate her, and especially hate that my cousin looks to her as such a role model. At least he doesn't mind when i post about palestine and said he doesn't wanna pick up a gun anyway. In the event my mom happens to find this subreddit, fuck you. If this is how you see that side of the world then you might as well kick me out the house now or cut me out of the will. Oh wait you won't bc im a poor wittle autistic girl who doesn't know how to live on her own. The only reason I will ever put effort into networking and making friends now is so I can run away from it all.

Added detail: it appears she's been thinking this way for a while now (all text translated from russian)
