Does a 'Welcome' mat give vampires permission to enter your house?
My door mat says, "Dogs welcome, humans tolerated". I think I'm good.

Why block muting the OS?
Immutable in this context refers to an OS that can't be changed while running. Steam deck does something like that. Basically the all of the OS system files are read only, so that the user or some malware can't Bork the system. The only parts that are writable are the users profile directory and the logs.
You can still receive updates and install apps. It's just that that's handled a bit differently than with a standard OS.
E.g. it could be that the OS provider only issues complete updates, and then you either have to reboot. This is the case with steam os on the steam deck. The System portion of the OS is mounted read only during use.

Don't blame me for that
Of course the U.S. would find a way to charge you for terrorism.

This is why I care
Funny how bible thumpers are always focusing on very specific portions of the bible to justify their hatred, but completely ignore the tons of other horrific bullshit that they are also guilty of.

Anybody else find it funny that her cart is just full of junk? No fresh fruit or vegetables to be seen. Some things never change in America.

How do you ask for a haircut?
You can either describe what you want, or show a picture of a haircut that you like.

Dude, this is the kind of red flag, where you really should get the police involved, or at least consult with them.

Really? Now, republicans are crying about toning down the political discourse? Anyone forget about Gabby Giffords? Did anything change since back then? No. It just got worse and it's probably going to get even worse in the future.

How do you raise siblings in a way that they don't hate each other?
Make them unite in their hatred for you.

Those who custom configure their kernel: what did you gain?
Back when I was still using Gentoo, configuring your own kernel was a rite of passage. It was kind of fun to try and configure it as minimalist as possible to cut down on the kernel compile time. Also, understanding all the different options and possibilities. And thanks to use flags, you had access to all these different patch sets for the kernel, which took a lot of the pain out of trying things like experimental schedulers or filesystems.

'All pain for no gain': Reality of post-Brexit trading conditions bites
I love how some of the influential millionaires in Britain were really vocal about being pro Brexit, and then as soon as it actually happened, they moved themselves and their business outside of the UK.

"don't cross illegally"... If only the first settlers to America would have followed that rule.

Europeans of Lemmy, what places in Europe should foreigners avoid at all cost?
Not a place in particular, but if you're driving, avoid any border crossings during peak holiday seasons. Specifically when you're crossing from the EU into non-EU countries or crossing from Schengen into non-Schengen area. During peak times you might be waiting at the border for hours.

What I would like to know, where did these people get the phone numbers and names of the people they sent the texts to.
From what I've read, these texts included the recipients names.
I guess personal data in the U.S. is just a big all you can eat buffet?
