I think it’s a play on words Bees -> Bs, B stands for Boy. Birds -> British slang for women.

I mean that if you say “Bees” out loud it sounds like “B’s”, as in the boy’s room.

The Armenian genocide wasn’t that long ago, it happened during my grandmother’s lifetime, and the current leader of Turkey still denies it was a genocide. But bringing up the Spanish inquisition in 2024 is wack.

@absentbird@lemm.ee avatar

Yeah, I get that. I just wanted to clarify that it was a lot more recent than the middle ages, especially with how much genocide denial has been attempting to minimize those atrocities lately.

Wouldn’t it take more than an investigation? A grand jury would need to sign off on the indictments.

Greater Idaho movement: 13 counties in eastern Oregon have voted to secede and join Idaho (ktvz.com)

On Tuesday, voters in Crook County passed measure 7-86, which asked voters if they support negotiations to move the Oregon/Idaho border to include Crook County in Idaho. The measure is passing with 53% of the vote, and makes Crook County the 13th county in eastern Oregon to pass a Greater Idaho measure.

Fuck Idaho. How about instead we go back to Washington Territorial borders and have the Evergreen State annex their whole crooked potato patch. They can have statehood back when they learn to behave themselves.

Please just don’t do this during a drought or burn ban. So many fucking fires caused by fireworks each year. So dumb. Don’t do it.

I assume they mean the ones they show on the news after a mass shooting.

@absentbird@lemm.ee avatar

I assume they’re more likely to show pictures of the weapon when the gun isn’t legal or has unusual features. I hadn’t even seen a bump stock before that shooting in Navada made them big news.

That is the usual number.

I’ve seen stickers around the town where I live calling him “Jihad Joe” for helping the Palestinians. He gets hate coming and going, meanwhile thousands of tons of aid are reaching the people of Gaza because of him.

@absentbird@lemm.ee avatar

The pier is having trouble getting aid past the Israeli offensive, but over 1000 tons have already been airdropped, and once logistics are worked out for the pier it’s expected to deliver 500 tons of aid per day.

Trump is easily more evil, he wants to accelerate the genocide. But even if you consider their position on Gaza as identical, he’s so much worse in all the other ways; he wants to give massive tax cuts to billionaires, criminalize trans people, and pass a national abortion ban. We cannot let that happen.

Yes

The cost of hiring a team of programmers the size of a large class can easily cost millions of dollars. There’s a long history of school projects accomplishing things in computer science that would have cost millions. Look at BSD for example.

You could say that about basically anything: it only takes one or two passionate people to [write a great novel, build a house, invent something new, prove a scientific theory, advance the field of mathematics] in a matter of weeks.

Those are rare and impressive exceptions, it’s not so simple in practice. The Mythical Man Month has some good insight on this. Big projects cost big money, and don’t necessarily get the job done faster.

In The Pick of Destiny they’re 50 miles from Los Angeles when the cops try to pull them over and the song Car Chase City begins.

They arrive in LA less than one minute into the song, making their average speed over 3000 miles per hour.

Given the aerodynamic properties of a Cutlass Supreme, they are both cooked, and countless windows in LA have been shattered by the sonic boom.

I disagree. In my experience having a lack of restrooms just makes the place nasty and hostile. You can still visit places with plenty of public restrooms, and it’s so much nicer. Every light rail station in Seattle smells like a toilet, the ones in Vancouver are way nicer. Removing restrooms doesn’t remove the need to pee.

I got a PineTab2 for under $200 that has treated me well. No e-ink or symbolic buttons, but it runs Linux and the included cover has a keyboard.

I usually use it as a dummy terminal with a Bluetooth mechanical keyboard.

'Your Name' Movie Producer Confesses To Have Paid Over 20 Underage Girls For Sexual Favors - Animehunch (animehunch.com)

The Wakayama Prefectural Police revealed on May 8, 2024 that Your Name. movie producer Koichiro Itou has been referred to prosecutors for additional violation of Child Prostitution & Pornography law in Japan, after it came to light that he had paid an underage girl for sexual intercourse....

That says Hamas agreed to a proposal put forward by Egypt and Qatar, Israel hasn’t agreed to it yet. There were a number of proposals before this one Israel agreed to that Hamas rejected. It seems to be a challenge to find a proposal both can accept.

If you don’t mind me asking, what made you switch from software development to transportation?

Nazi rhetoric already fits the definition of antisemitism though.

Calling for a divestment of Israel isn’t being made illegal or even defined as antisemitism by this bill, so both examples don’t really make sense.

absentbird ,
@absentbird@lemm.ee avatar

The majority of Americans opposed Nazis, even before entering the war. We supported the allies with aid, and were instrumental in making the Nazi’s defeat a reality.

Yeah, I mean maybe I’m biased. 10 is the one that got me to go 100% Linux and never look back. Windows 7 could be irritating, but it was manageable, it could be controlled.

Adobe’s Creative Cloud for enterprise, Individual, or Single App Terms of Use permit deployment in a VM. Even if they didn’t, it’s not illegal to violate software terms of use, though it could open you up to a breach of contract.

What’s illegal about a $7 windows license?

absentbird ,
@absentbird@lemm.ee avatar

It’s not illegal to violate terms of service, at worst it’s breach of contract. What policy does it even violate? As best as I can tell Windows licenses are transferrable by first owner provided they aren’t installed on another machine.

absentbird ,
@absentbird@lemm.ee avatar

Copyright infringement? The only thing being purchased is the product key, from an online reseller. The software is downloaded from the Microsoft website. It’s not an infringement of copyright to purchase a software key from a company other than Microsoft, it’s not even a violation of their terms of service as best as I can tell.

absentbird ,
@absentbird@lemm.ee avatar

Where is that written?

absentbird ,
@absentbird@lemm.ee avatar

I did, best as I can tell it’s permitted. Resale of retail Windows licenses is legal. I can’t find anything saying it’s not.

Don’t call it a comeback, it’s been here for years
Connecting all peers, putting Comcast in fear
Makin the tiers blow off like a typhoon
Now watch how the bandwidth blooms
Transmissions, not expiring
All the competition, it’s inspiring
Mom & pops, online shops
The benefit of equal access rocks

That’s a great explanation, thank you!
