I absolutely agree, and yet for years we’ve been seeing unmasked infectious disease experts at infectious disease conferences that (surprise surprise!) become super-spreader events.

It would be funny if it weren’t so distopian.

(FWIW, I think most conferences for aerosol scientists have remained remote or respirator required)

This same argument has been made throughout history.

“If we let Black people have freedom they’ll murder all of the white plantation owners!”

Now, I wouldn’t blame formerly enslaved people for murdering the people who enslaved them, but that didn’t happen.

Aparthide in South Africa was ended without the promised (by white people) “white genocide” either.

Settler-colonial powers always think that the people they’re oppressing will commit genocide, because it’s what colonizers do.

The only road to true peace is full human rights for all.

One of many things that the right, left, and center can all agree on is (pro) eugenics.

Idiocracy, and this song, are so explicitly eugenicist and yet people who consider themselves “enlightened liberals”, or even “leftists”, choose not to see them as such.

They choose not to because to accept that obvious truth would mean that they have some things they need to work out too. That it’s not just MAGA supporters that are upholding white supremacy and ableism.

In the past 5 years I’ve come to terms with a lot of abhorrent things I used to believe, and a lot of harm that I’ve unknowingly caused in the past.

Learn better; Do better.

If you haven’t done hard introspection that has made you uncomfortable, especially if you’re an abled white person, then you’re probably not as enlightened of a person as you see yourself being.

This talk introduces sleepgraph, a tool that might help you debug your s2ram issues.

The talk may also convince you that, for your specific hardware, s2idle might be better than s2ram:

The main reason that I piled on Canonical was that they kept on spreading FUD about Wayland to try to promote / justify Mir rather than discussing in good faith.

The worst part about Mir was always Canonical.

OR:

Nvidia will feel enough pressure (likely from the ML / HPC space?) to provide open kernelspace support that they’ll actually make that happen.

Which… Has already happened.

Nvidia took a lot of the kernelspace logic that used to be in their proprietary driver, re-architected their GPUs to move that logic into a firmware blob (GSP).

And last year they released a completely Free driver that intefaces with GSP.

This allowed Nouveau developers to finally access critical features like power management (which were basically behind a wall of DRM, as Nvidia used legal and technical measures to lock Nouveau out of their firmware).

Now Nouveau has a new shader compiler, Vulcan support is growing rapidly, and people like me will soon prefer the Mesa stack for Nvidia over Nvidia’s own drivers.

And you can bet that Nouveau will work great with all of the Wayland compositors.

This is really the exact wrong point in history to be making the argument you’re trying to make 🤣.

This is the kind of distro Fedora has always been, both for better and for worse.

I don’t see this decision driving users away from Fedora any more than other decisions they’ve made in the past and will surely make in the future.

If you can take multiple large, failed, risks without ending up on the street then you have immense privilege.

It’s hard for most people to “learn from their failures” and keep taking “big” risks, unless the risk to their own life circumstances was never actually that “big”.

Yes, I am saying that "the customer who pays full price and no more is “a piece of shit”.

“and not” ??

“management who underpays staff”.

Both of those people would be peices of shit.

I don’t really understand why you would expect anyone to think that only one of those could possibly be shit at the same time.

Maybe don’t try to make programming language jokes out of the concept of systematic rape?

(I agree 100% with the person I am replying to, and I’m sure they know all of this already)

Please list some of the top “culture war” issues.

I think you’ll find a pattern.

Hot take:

With genocide and eugenics on the rise again in the real world, maybe we shouldn’t be celebrating a movie whose entire premise is eugenics.

“Here’s what horrible things could happen if we continue to let the wrong people breed while the right kind of people breed to little!”

I don’t know why people have such a negative opinion of Jizz.

Just because it’s played at the most wretched hive of scum and villainy doesn’t mean that the music itself is scummy or villainous!

For the pedants, I hope y’all can at least agree that lunarvim is an IDE:

(Note, a comment saying it’s a “bad IDE” doesn’t make it not an IDE)

Partially AI generated “photo”?

I haven’t ever had COVID (that I’m aware of, and I tested regularly for the first two years of the pandemic), because I never stopped following the science and taking precautions.

I recognize that I was and am able to consistently take those precautions only because of a lot of privilege.

Partially silvered windows would hurt your ability to see at night in the same way that a tint does.

(The more light your windshield reflects, the less light makes it through to your eyes, so it will always be a tradeoff)

That and dangerous reflections as the other reply already mentioned.

You can also play Tetris via Emacs.

Starting with OS X, every Mac has shipped with Tetris out of the box 🙂.

I know it’s really hard to tell, especially with flat earthers, but I think this post by “gerwin” screenshat here (with extra jpeg) was satire.

There are a lot of silly explanations that flat earthers have for things, but this doesn’t appear to be one of them.

(Googling for “water mountain” just gives this screenshot and people making fun of this screenshot.)
