Oklahoma Supreme Court dismisses lawsuit of last Tulsa Race Massacre survivors seeking reparations (apnews.com)

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Oklahoma Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit of the last two survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, dampening the hope of advocates for racial justice that the government would make amends for one of the worst single acts of violence against Black people in U.S. history....

Took me a few episodes to realize this wasn’t actually a fictional event. It was just too absurdly racist to actually happen, it just had to be for the story. It was not a fun day when I figured it out and read up on it. In my middle school, the civil rights movement was a whole year of material, how did they just forget to mention this at all?

You seem to be under the impression that they care about anyone’s safety, rookie mistake. Their job is exclusively to boost consumer confidence in air travel and increase corporate profits.

I think the problem was that half of the movie was a memorial to the victims of the Charles Manson murders and the other half of the movie was about Brad Pitt and DiCaprio, and the two stories had absolutely zero synergy.

Reboot Doomguy hasn’t been a space marine for almost a decade now. He’s always been a Titan sent by gods.

The US govt basically has a perfect credit score. They have almost infinite payment history and almost infinite available credit.

Not really, but you can get a virus from movie.mkv.exe, which will probably show up in windows as “movie.mkv” but will actually run a program.

That being said, I’ve never actually seen this in the wild and it was mainly talked about in the mp3 era.

Depending on how the windows network is set up, this may happen every time someone logs in

I put an Impala cover on my corvette though cuz I live in Detroit.

Inheritance makes complicated objects that would otherwise be impossible possible, but it only works if you know those objects really well. The problem is people write ridiculously complicated mystery objects in libraries and no one knows what’s going on anymore.

HMB I’m gonna go replace everything I own with Oracle products to fight the Woke Mind Virus™

It’s just revealing that we never actually needed a clippy in the first place. An “assistant” in tech isn’t actually as useful as people assumed it would be.

It’s actually very possible to miss the message of Bioshock. Andrew Ryan built the perfect city and Atlas ruined it. Andrew Ryan cast him out, but Atlas brought the player character as his final ultimate weapon. You eventually rebel, saving the capitalist Utopia.

I have seen people who abided by this interpretation. Any art with any level of subtlety can be misinterpreted. It’s inherently subjective and depends on the viewer’s personal biases.

But in a moment of legal discovery, it was found that “GitLab Support Bot” always owns the repository since it creates the merge commit after CI runs.

I would like to know more.

Not all solar maximums are created equal, and the cycle is only 11ish years. Our last maximum for example was one of the weakest we’ve ever seen, this one seems unusually strong.

Kind of an odd saying, I’m 100% sure Newcastle uses gas for their grill and not a single fast food place uses charcoal grills. If you brought coal to Newcastle, they would have no use for such a thing.

Artyom ,

Oh shit I got confused…

In my defense, I’ve never heard of Newcastle until today.

Odds are a lawyer volunteered for the case in the hopes that Activision will settle just to keep their name away from Uvalde in the news. Families get pennies, lawyer gets a pay day, Activision barely notices.

I don’t think I’ve ever used -j without specifying as many cores as I have, so it sounds completely reasonable.

Unless your laptop isn’t brand new, at which point Linux absolutely beats Windows on compatibility.

Apparently Mr. Ballmer is a real programmer at Microsoft. Even better, he was still working at Microsoft in 2007 when the comic came out, but retired a few years later.

Ah yes, the file stabber, not to be confused with a file system tabulation, which it definitely is not.

Or here’s a much better idea; strap yourself to the dolphin so when they leave, you get to come with. Make sure you bribe them with fish.

My university had a jury system for people who cheated on tests and someone almost pulled that same strategy off. One of the admins serves on both trials though and figured it out. They just got unlucky honestly, it was a 1/3rd chance they’d both get the same admin.

At the one I didn’t attend, the professor showed up and corroborated the student’s story. They didn’t happen at the same time, the guilty one was the one I attended and she went second.

I assume that integrated into this bill are guaranteed rights that trans people can countersue for harassment and defamation if they are misgendered while using the legally mandated bathroom.

I am willing to wager that in America, at least 95% of the people who report the weather live have degrees in meteorology or a related field. I almost took that career path.

Artyom ,

The top one is a double major in broadcast journalism and political science and has a certificate in meteorology. The next american majored in meteorology and minored in math, and recently went back to get a masters in climate science. I could go through the whole list, but I have better things to do. Thanks for providing the source to prove my point.

It must be a REALLY good game. Only the best games that were already going to get high reviews would ever resort to such a policy

Artyom ,

Companies used to do this, but stopped when every game reviewer called them out on it. It was always in kinda shitty games too. You can rest assured that EA is fully capable of making shitty games with ads in them.

In the case of this breach, I’d be happy with a $10 payout, the consequences for me are actually pretty low here. That being said, I think we’d be lucky if Dell had to pay more than $0.50 per person, and that money will probably go to a lawyer’s fees, not me.

That’s actually how we discovered that fluoride in public drinking water is good for your teeth. Colorado Springs had natural fluoride in their drinking water and their rate of cavities was way lower than the national average, so some dentists searched around to figure out the cause.

As the author of the article repeated every paragraph, their full name is Fresh Del Monte, so that’ll be “Fresh Del Monte Human Rights”

It’s not Slack’s fault. It is a good platform for one-off messages. Need a useless bureaucratic form signed? Slack. Need your boss to okay the afternoon off? Slack. Need to ask your lead programmer which data structure you should use and why they’re set up that way? Sounds like the answer should be put in a wiki page, not slack.

All workflows are small components of a larger workplace. Emails also suck for a lot of things. They probably wouldn’t have worked in this case, memos are the logical upgrade from emails where you want to make sure everyone receives it and the topic is not up for further discussion.

Smh my head, scientists still don’t have stable fusion, when Erastosthenes was using it as a constant in his experiments.

Can’t wait to see how far we’ll break the record on largest hurricane ever this year!

Same. I was thinking about getting it, but the kernel level anti-cheat is a no go, but then I found out on Linux they don’t have a kernel-level anti cheat, so then I was thinking about it again. No way they’ll ever get me to make a PlayStation account, I left consoles for a reason.

“With modern science, we’re able to see what kind of memes they’re making in the year 2300.”

This will keep happening, no one knows how to make hardened IT infrastructure while also letting 65 year old Suzie in HR stay productive, so we’ll always have loopholes. The best thing you can do to protect yourself is to use fewer cloud services, but obviously that has limits, you can’t cancel your phone plan just because they may get hacked. You could use more encrypted services like Signal where a hacker wouldn’t get anything useful even if they broke in.
