I say things sometimes.
Reasoning and facts should prevail over emotion.
There is no party that can define me.
Judge not people, but judge only actions.
It is with profound sorrow that we bid farewell to Jeanne Gibson, our beloved Rosie the Riveter, has passed away today, July 29, 2026, at the remarkable age of 100. With her passing, we don't simply mourn the loss of a beloved friend, we honor the life of an American hero whose courage, dedication, and unwavering spirit helped shape history, and will continue to inspire generations to come.📷📷
At just 18 years old, Jeanne left her home in Minnesota in the summer of 1944 and answered her nation's call, becoming a welder at Todd Pacific Shipyards in Seattle. With determination and grit, she helped build destroyers that strengthened the Allied war effort during World War II. She later continued her service with the Army Transportation Corps in Juneau, Alaska, embodying the resilience and patriotism of the Greatest Generation.
Yet Jeanne's legacy extended far beyond the war. She earned her Ph.D., dedicated three decades to teaching, earned her private pilot license, and spent the rest of her life proving that courage, determination, and purpose know no age.
In 2024, Jeanne and her fellow Rosies were collectively awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, one of our nation's highest civilian honors, recognizing the extraordinary women whose sacrifices and determination helped secure victory during World War II.
To all of us at Pacific Historic Parks, Jeanne was far more than a Rosie, she was family. She traveled to Hawaiʻi time and again to share her remarkable story with visitors, inspire local students, and ensure that the sacrifices of the Home Front would never be forgotten. Her radiant smile, generous heart, and boundless enthusiasm touched every life she encountered.
She had a special gift for encouraging young girls, reminding them that no dream was too big and no obstacle too great. Through her words and her example, she inspired generations to believe in themselves and pursue lives of courage, service, and purpose.
Jeanne remained a tireless advocate for preserving the legacy of the Rosies, volunteering at Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park on "Rosie Fridays" and ensuring the stories of the women who helped win the war would continue to inspire future generations.
In one of life's poignant moments, just days before her passing, Jeanne was celebrated with a Wall of Honor banner at the park she loved so dearly and recognized during a San Jose Earthquakes halftime ceremony honoring Bay Area heroes. It was a fitting tribute to a woman whose life was defined by selfless service, quiet strength, and extraordinary grace.
Though Jeanne has taken her final flight, her legacy will never fade. It lives on in every story she shared, every young person she inspired, every life she touched, and in the enduring example of courage she leaves behind.
Our hearts are with Jeanne's family, her fellow Rosies, and all who were blessed to know and love her.
Rest in peace, Jeanne Gibson.
Thank you for answering the call when your country needed you most. Thank you for showing generations what courage looks like. We will remember you always

It's all by design btw
@Itsfoss Nah. I started with OpenSuse back in the day. Ubuntu's Snaps aren't secure, and the OS is bloated. Both Ubuntu and Mint suffer from hardware compatibility.
I'd recommend MX KDE now.
My fiancé is battling a crazy disease. She just had a bone marrow transplant recently. She is fighting hard. I can’t stress enough how stressful the situation is #MaceyStrong#FUCKCSNCER
@cerisbeech While you're at it, Cosmo Queen, Queen of Prayers to help get to Chicken Game and two other field spells. Too bad Secret Village of the Spellcasters is banned in Master Duel.
@esjesjesj Eugenics, mostly. Those who believe purely in the individual's survival of the fittest without recognizing that community (pack bonding) itself is a trait for humanity's survival.
@dutchessprim There were concerns over the economy over the health of the nation's people. So, the guidance changed to masking up. And masks don't protect yourself, they protect OTHERS from catching what you have, though minimum contact should still be exercised, even if asymptomatic.
@dutchessprim Regardless if he actually saved lives or not, the reality is that the government was working with extremely limited information on how to combat it. Wearing masks was the alternative to people staying at home, but a good chunk of the nation didn't want to comply with that either.
@akafaceUS I'm a perfect world, sure. But in cases where abuse, neglect, and/or abandonment over gender dysphoria occurs, I place on your conscience every instance of strife that arises from the decision.
@probonopd You can create your own Flatpak files, Flathub doesn't have to host it. Just like you can host your own .deb or .rpm without it being in every distro's repo. Or, like you said, as an AppImage. But hardly anyone uses those because they tend to not share libraries.

You just need to upgrade the Google Drive account, which the user most likely would have to do to hold enough data anyway.
@AutisticCallum_ Even worse, they think that the words they used were clear, but in fact meant something completely different. Off-topic example: You're troubleshooting a family member's PC and they keep calling the monitor the "computer" and the computer the "hard drive".
@HouseGOP No wonder y'all conspired to cut back USPS. State-owned enterprises are not the enemy and have tons of precedent. Don't fall for the propaganda, folks.
