Fuck, I hate AppImages so much. Never heard of gearlever, thanks i hope this helps a lot.

Edit: Ok Gearlever is pretty great! Now I can finally open Heroic normally. That pissed me off for so long.

Tobias, you blow hard!

then just hire more people FFS.

You can’t produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant.

In 2022, amid claims of election fraud by the Republican candidate in Esmeralda County, Nevada, it took two county commissioners and a few election workers 7 hours to hand count just 317 ballots. Assuming this rate of counting for the national election, distributed across all counties, it would take over a month straight of counting all ballots.

They’re not sending their finest.

Yeah, it’s unclear to me at the time if the dialogue box in the screenshot appeared when doing a select all operation, but it reads as though the OP dev didn’t understand git, discarded their work, and got upset that it was an option.

Realistically if the dialogue box appeared, I’m not sure there would be anything else the IDE could do to prevent the dev from themselves. Perhaps reject operations affecting 5000 files? But then you’ll just have someone with the same issue for 4000 files.

reading through it, it sounds like they opened a project in VSCode, and it saw that there was a local git repo already initialized, with 3 months of changes uncommitted and not staged. So the options there are to stage the changes (git add) to be committed or discard the changes (git checkout -- .). I guess they chose the discard option thinking it was a notification and i guess the filename would be added to gitignore or something? Instead, it discarded the changes, and to the user, it looked like VSCode did rm -rf and not that this was the behavior of git. Since the changes were never committed, even git reflog can’t save them.

I think in this case, the house report couldn’t be released close to an election, so since Gaetz had a primary and general election, that delayed it by 5 months at least to be after the election. IMO, resigning or not shouldn’t matter to the report being in the public record.

It sucks but this is the realistically the only way he’ll ever see justice, assuming there’s courts in 4 years.

Gaetz insisted on hiring a 17 year old to manage cybersecurity, what do you expect would happen.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but citizens don’t elect the president. This is one of the citizenship questions most naturally born citizens don’t know about.

Mulva?

I still prefer Veritaisum over a channel like Mark Rober which has almost 4x the subscribers, with content that sounds informational, but is really just dumbed down. Maybe Mark Rober is more aimed at younger kids, but they both are very similar with trying to make math and science accessible, but executed differently and I think Veriatsium done better.

With videos with exclusive access, i’d imagine it’s difficult to do all the fact checking of everything the company is telling you. Tom Scott also dealt with this, and it requires a tremendous effort. If there are lies being spread and the description isn’t updated or a pinned comment on the video set, then yeah, that’s shitty behavior, but generally I haven’t seen that from Derk.

TCP/IP

On Jan 20th, she’s going from Vice President to unemployed. Unemployed to governor would be a step up.

How screwed would one be if the domain they bought was a ccTLD and that country ceased to exist?

Obligatory Line Goes Up video, although not exclusively about Bitcoin.

I do admit that early in Bitcoin’s life, around 2013, i was a interested in Bitcoin as an alternative to banking, but the volatility and speculation alienated me from the community. Anyone buying BTC now for $90k, you need to realize this turned into a pyramid scheme and you’re not at the top of it. You may be able to find someone who’s more of a sucker to take the Bitcoin off your hand and make a profit, but it’s not sustainable, someone has to loose. Any gains you make are probably less than 10% what the person made by selling it to you.

If you do end up speculating on crypto, don’t invest more than you can afford to loose, and assume you’ll loose it all. It’s very likely you’ll either get hacked/scammed, loose your wallet, leave your wallet in an online exchange who runs off with your keys, etc. You’re on your own if that happens. If you do end up making any profit, it’ll be a blessing and you’ll be way happier than if you thought this would be your key to get rich, and you end up loosing it all.

On one hand, we essentially have someone who accidentally missed an item during self checkout, and another person who ransacked the store, took everything they could, showed off what they stole, and had a standoff with police. Clearly both situations are not equal and saying that both should have the same consequences minimizes Trump’s actions and blatant disregard of the judicial system and American people.

The most recent This American Life did a whole episode on this which was very well done.

Honestly I would hold off on purchases for USB-C models of devices that used to sell with micro USB now after getting various things which only work with the USB-A -> USB-C adapters. Seems like manufacturers did the bare minimum and just replaced the socket and plastic hole, without any other changes, so while yes it can charge via a USB-C port, it still requires the USB-A cable because it can’t do any negotiation on charging specs and was designed with the 5V assumption of USB-A power.
