dude i was just reposting a picture. I haven’t read enough about huey p newton, although i am aware of his work, to comment on what he means specifically. i don’t want to dissuade you from learning but there are communities better suited for this. im not really in a state rn to educate you on this, not that it’s wrong that you’re asking these questions and trying to learn.

to any other leftists/progressives reading this, yes i do try to take the time to educate people and have a conversation, but this is a shitpost im not tryna get into it here lmao. we all need our breaks

My brother in christ, who are you responding to?

I have the renewal process itself automated, just not the replacement process.

I selfhost my own mail server (my primary mail in fact).

My LE certs expired on Christmas eve, when I was also getting sick. I didn’t realize my mail server was down for a week until about NYE. Luckily Postfix queued all my emails and there was nothing important lost, but I am reevaluating self hosting my mail server. That being said, this was also the worst issue I’ve faced in over a year of self hosting mail. And it only arose because my dumbass still hasn’t automated my certificate rotation.

How up to date are your graphics drivers/backend?

Yes, if it’s strong enough to instantly kill a mosquito with a pulse it is likely that looking at the spot can blind you.

For real. I’ve occasionally used Musescore 2-4 as a hobbyist. Musescore 4 is a significant improvement over an already pretty great piece of software.

My phrasing was off, i didn’t mean to say that that actually used rancid or sour milk. Rather the flavor of butyric acid is commonplace in a lot of American chocolate. And it’s a flavor i quite despise (despite loving Hershey’s growing up), hence the preference for non-American chocolate. I understand that sweeping generalizations are almost never true, and that there are plenty of American chocolatiers who make chocolate without that distinct sour note, but that doesn’t denigrate the fact that you can go to most places in the states that sell chocolate and get something with a sour note. For many people they like that, I personally don’t.

I specified American milk chocolate because American milk chocolate typically uses a more sour milk which gives it its distinctive flavour. Personally I can’t really stand it but to each their own.

For anyone who wants to do this easily: afaik (ymmv) most mail systems will accept aliases to your account if you put a + after your email username. for example, if you’re foo@example.com, then foo+bar@example.com would still route to your inbox but you’d be able to see that it was sent to a different address than your own. i do this for any email i put into a website I don’t trust (which is most) and if you use the company name it’s a really easy way to see who sold your data

the real crime is using Hershey’s or any other American milk chocolate 🤮

The prison complex doesn’t want you to call it that, but yes. The 13th amendment makes a specific exception for slavery if the person is imprisoned. That’s why prisoners “work” for way below minimum wage in a variety of jobs that they probably didn’t choose. Not to mention that the majority of prisoners are people of color…

I’m still quite young but jesus this was difficult to sit through

We came this far because it was profitable to come this far. The cogs of humanity have turned not because good people wanted to make progress, but because aloof people can make money off of the backs of good people who want to make progress. It’s why the biggest steps forward are from people who try to change the status quo; they’re willing to move outside the system of profit so they look for novel ways to do so. It just so happens that that’s usually also a very profitable endeavor for a new set of people. That’s not to say that good people don’t get to positions of power, but that good people get to those positions of power because the rich people let them.

well deserved L ratio

The easiest email solution imo is Mail in a box. it’s fairly easy to setup by their guide

Genuinely not necessarily true. I used to do this when I was younger. It wasn’t because I wanted attention, I just like the feeling of being surrounded by music

I can understand Linus getting frustrated at people who consistently push him (i e. Lennart) and I agree that there’s a reason he’s stayed at the helm of kernel maintenance and development all this time; however, that doesn’t denigrate that this is an unacceptable way to treat someone which Linus himself acknowledges! If this were about ReiserFS going into the kernel, I would understand that. But a poorly made commit should not be met with this vitriol. I’m not saying there shouldn’t be consequences for poor work, but this is not it.

You’re making a false equivalency where stern is the same as toxic. There are more professional and clear ways to communicate the issues with code quality. No one is disagreeing that those need to be communicated. The Issue is how.

And because you seem to take stock in what Torvalds says, then consider that if he himself admitted these were harmful and inefficient methods of communication then they probably were. If it was leading to fantastic results in the kernel i don’t see why he would’ve stopped. My guess is that he learned something that it seems you may still have yet to: empathy.
