Nude pipe?

Yep. I’m on EndeavourOS which is about as far as you can get from Mint without going to like Slackware, LFS, or BSD. Basically every single run of pacman prompts for a reboot. I’m sure I could restart individual services or subsystems instead, but that’s not what the OS popup says.

Yeah for real, fuck SMS protocol for omitting basic quality of life features developed decades prior.

Why? BCC is the solution and has been part of email since at least 1990. I’m not condoning a dogpile on OP, but this is a solved problem.

C’mon, where’s the trigger warning for folks with dental PTSD?

Also I came to post the Mitch Hedberg joke, that’s a classic 😁

I don’t really love any that I’ve tried so far, but I dislike Audacious the least. FLAC, Musepack, and ReplayGain support are requirements for my library.

The last one I loved was foobar2000 on Windows, which supplanted Winamp. Linux UIs mostly feel a bit clunky by comparison. When the window has focus I like to have spacebar for pause/play, arrows up/down for primary gain, and arrows left/right for seek.

There’s a community for this. https://lemmy.world/c/aboringdystopia

I know he’s up there in years but Bernie’s no idiot so I’m sure he’s caught up on vaccinations. Hopefully that means he’ll do fine.

More importantly though, more politicians need to take up the progressive mantle.

As I recall there’s not much left of that temple to dispute.

While we’re nitpicking, the post says multiple times that SI prefix symbols are “all uppercase except for kilo (k)”.

That’s just factually wrong. More than half of them are lowercase! There’s centi- ©, micro- (µ), nano- (n), etc. On the positive side there’s even deca- (da) and hecto- (h), though they aren’t particularly common or useful. I did at least see milli- (m) and bit (b) mentioned in a brief note though.

Obviously context matters and only the positive powers from kilo upward are relevant in computer science. But I studied chemistry and physics so I guess it irked me to see the statement repeatedly ignore all the negative powers of ten.

Overall, good rant though 😅 I’ll be more careful to use KiB and MiB from here out when appropriate.

I don’t know how to steal an entire horse. But if you praise one, bring it snacks, take it for long walks on the beach, maybe read it some French poetry under the autumn moonlight… well you might steal its heart.

That makes sense and matches what I’ve read and heard in articles and videos. That last part is problematic though.

Forgetting means peril for us all. As you say, fewer now have really learned in the first place. I’m afraid the same malice is on the rise again. Yes I’ve heard of the AFD, but there’s a more powerful and ambitious faction of fascists in the US who are arguably far more dangerous. They want to marginalize and divide people, even if it drives the country into civil war. And if they win, they won’t stop at the borders, not when the prize is enough military might to fulfill their sick dreams of terrorizing and subjugating the entire globe.

So yeah, that’s the other reason I’d like to come to Germany, to help everyone not forget, and to understand how to better share the lessons.

Thanks for sharing this. I’d love to visit Germany and learn more about what it’s been like, both for your generation and the previous few. I’m not so interested in the rise of military power or atrocities so much as how people survived and adapted and rebuilt, and now reflect and learn and understand the past to avoid repeating it.

My grandparents fled Munich to Yugoslavia and then the US, and I don’t think any close relatives have ever gone back.

I think that’s how Godwin’s Law was intended, yeah. Like a signpost that the argument had truly become hyperbolic and untethered from reality. Because it used to be that outwardly supporting nonsense and evil were socially unacceptable, even on the Internet. Times sure have changed.

Source? I never heard about a MS acquisition or majority stock buy.

You’re asking that question to a cabal of judgy celibate men in robes…

Signing laws isn’t illegal in the first place.

And I want to say I might be completely okay with holding those in power responsible for endangerment / drone strikes / murder / war.

Anything illegal should be charge-worthy, official or not, just like any other office. Actively holding the title of president entities immunity only as a delay, because that role also serves as commander-in-chief for the US. Having that seat empty during a prosecution could be hugely disruptive to the executive branch and strategically unwise for geopolitics.

But once the new president takes over, there’s no longer any reason to delay the judicial process with temporary immunity.

At least, that’s how I learned it in 6th grade, midwest public school.

A letter from a senator doesn’t carry much legal force. From my understanding of the article, Apple claims they were prohibited from sharing this information, but a simple letter couldn’t overturn something like a legal order or court mandate. The change here doesn’t support the claim.

It reads more like Apple chose not to disclose in order to avoid the ire of the DOJ, even though it would have been morally more correct to tell the public sooner.

Good summary, but that’s a stupid argument (by the people making it). We already have all kinds of taxes that exist as fees for moving goods (tariffs) and even for moving money (e.g. a tax penalty if I withdraw early from my 401k).

It seems perfectly valid to have a tax/fee on moving money overseas to invest it. One might argue that’s not “fair” for some reason (e.g. if the money is taxed in the other direction too), but it’s certainly something the government has the power to do.
