Okay #hardware #nerd types and #DataHoarders or #DigitalArchivists...

I'm using #Ubuntu #Linux on an old #iMac with #dvgrab to download the exact copies of all my #MiniDV tapes in #DV format.

But I have to say... This thing is a monster.

Can anyone recommend a laptop with #Firewire 800 that also runs Linux well?

Let out your anger and let fly

Dear motorists (or anyone) you can now rent a rage room to vent your frustration. In shining protective armour with a crow bar in hand you can smash breakable objects (for a fee).This new recreational activity might improve your anger management.

No need to let out your aggression on other living beings any more.

Hundreds of rage rooms are operating in cities across the United States already >>

#EmergencyAlertAu #July27

If you are in Australia, please take a moment to read this and plan ahead.

The national emergency alert test on July 27 will sound even if phones are on silent or Do Not Disturb. For some people, that matters more than others.

If you are in a domestic violence situation and have a hidden or safety phone, consider where it will be before the test.

Please share quietly with anyone who may need this

Nice! I was able to use #dvgrab with my #FireWire card and #DV #camera without any configuration on #Fedora #Linux. I won't be sticking to it because of the short term support, but happy to know that part of my old PC will work just fine under Linux!

Thinking about going with #AlmaLinux instead because of the longer support cycle. That or #ZorinOS.

" DV被害者が強く懸念する背景には、DV対策の遅れがある。欧米などでは、司法が加害者にプログラム受講を命令するなどの仕組みがあるが、日本では受講を求める法的根拠がない。国は2024年度から、民間団体にプログラムを委託・補助する自治体に交付金を支給。改正法の付帯決議も被害者支援の一環として、プログラム実施の推進を盛り込むが、2025年度の申請は京都府や横浜市など一部自治体にとどまる。

Bravo Zali Stegall, who wonders whether the femicide rate might soon enjoy the same level of action given to 'antisemitism'* recently? Bloody good point! #qt #DV #AusPol

* antizionism in reality.

Wow.

US wants to be like N. Korea, isolated.
They do the DV play of cutting you off from family & friends so you have no one to turn to for support & why they destroyed/destroying social media like tik tok & twitter.
They take away community to give you AI big brother & convince you to become an abuser of some kind, to uphold their hierarchy of supremacy and power.

For my limited knowledge in this space (I had a fortunate childhood in this regard), it seems to me that DV behaviour is a learned behaviour. Hence, Young ones and adolescents exposed to DV are more likely to develop behaviour patterns which may result in DV as adults.

This article addresses an important part of our social responsibilities towards Others in our society. All too often, where family problems are addressed, the kids get overlooked or barely recognised. I have no facts to back this up. But one would think that focusing on appropriate services to help the young victims from the start would eventually translate into fewer occurances of DV.

For young Australians reluctant to call abuse helplines, a digital ‘support multiverse’ could break down barriers

More than 40% of children under 16 are exposed to family violence but ‘systems by adults for adults’ leave them without familiar ways to access support
