Does the 21 year old need a father figure at that age? Is their biological or step-father not around? I don’t see the need for the 21 year old to accept an 18 year old as a father figure since they’re already an adult. Express personal boundaries but let them live their own life.

I’ve daily-driven my Librem 5 since March 2023. I will certainly not state that this device will meet everyone’s needs or expectations and would consider myself a patient prosumer, but comfortable daily use is possible and is proving easier in testing the next major PureOS release (crimson).

Yes, I am a Purism staff member. Here are a couple Purism forum search results of things I have posed related to the Librem 5 version 2:

the PinePhone Pro looks the most promising one of the bunch

I’ll have to advocate for the Librem 5 over the Pinephone Pro for the following reasons:

1. The Pinephone Pro has officially been discontinued as of August 2025 [source].
2. The Librem 5 and Liberty phones are still in production [source].
3. Librem 5 PCB board design files are also available - not just schematics [source].
4. Purism is already working on a Librem 5 version 2.
5. Purism is pushing toward FSF RYF certification for the Librem 5 and future models.

I’d consider it a significant advancement. Phones have much tighter regulations than many consumer devices and this may not necessarily align with Valve’s long-term business objectives, however, so I have some skepticism but would be pleasantly surprised if they pursued such an endeavor.

Who else zoomed in on the screen to figure out what game they’re playing?

Agreed. A few of my physician/nursing friends mentioned that they see these kinds of injuries on rare occasions and have always been attributed to patients in serious mental/emotional distress, so this level of desperation is unfortunately still out there.

It was the DOD long after I left, so however you want to interpret that. :)

It could be a desperate suicide attempt. The magnets get trapped in the bowels by sticking together at various points, necrotizing or rupturing the intestines or other tissues, which can cause peritonitis or ultimately sepsis, which can be fatal.

Dear DHS,

These are just cowards with guns. Do better. Become an agency with dignity, honor, and basic human decency.

With all the respect you deserve,

How about Joernathan? He is a dog.

I don’t have a source handy, but someone attempted to heat their apartment with computers and ended up spending something like >$1000 in utilities that month.

I would imagine that most of our brains, interests, communication styles and socialized behaviors are immensely multifaceted where it would require a reasonably nuanced stimulus to trigger a response within the realm of their expectation. I don’t expect many people to appreciate my niche hyperfixations and, frankly, some of them aren’t even popularized in a way that I can easily articulate. I struggle to imagine a situation where it would slip out during everyday conversation.

Any number of places. It could have been a stowaway in luggage, imported livestock, etc.
