I wonder what the apologists from .ml have to say…

intelisense ,

I worked with a guy who thought like this back in the 90s . He stank of Death.

Porting systemd to musl libc-powered Linux (catfox.life)

I have completed an initial new port of systemd to musl. This patch set does not share much in common with the existing OpenEmbedded patchset. I wanted to make a fully updated patch series targeting more current releases of systemd and musl, taking advantage of the latest features and updates in both. I also took a focus on...

My understanding is that it boots faster. That’s a nice thing to have on a container that spins up on demand.

I can’t even manage one whole mug of jot chocolate before I start feeling physically sick. There’s just way too much milk.

Honestly, if they had half the talent of Damon Albarn they wouldn’t need the cash.

I had the idea to offload machine learning to GPUs back in the early 00’s. I was working for a company doing number plate recognition back then, so I was even in a position to act on my idea… but my boss thought I was nuts.

I’m not sure how much money I would have made, but it’s got to be better than this!

intelisense ,

OK, it was a basic pattern recognition model, nothing nearly as sophisticated as we have now, but I think it would have performed significantly faster.

I went from Boost for Reddit straight to Boost for Lemmy. It does everything I need and the dev is quite active with new features etc.

Lemmy predicts: Chromebooks will become the new Thinkpads

Maybe this is a hot take. However, a lot of the Chromebooks that were deployed by schools during covid are build like tanks while being super lightweight and having great battery life. Meanwhile the old thinkpads are 10 years old and are probably starting to wear down. Many Chromebooks support coreboot these days so...

intelisense ,

New Thinkpads are still great Linux laptops, so there’s a steady stream of newer 2nd hand models coming on the market.

intelisense ,

That’s news to me - and a bit of a dick move.

intelisense ,

C# is much more recent than C/BCPL etc. What’s interesting, though, is how many of C these more modern languages are inspired by C. C is also very much still in use!

Help me understand littering

I consider myself to be the kind of person who can quite easily imagine myself in someone else’s place. I don’t know if I’m actually any better at it than the average person, but judging by the comment sections on social media and the conversations I’ve had with other people, I really struggle to get angry at strangers...

intelisense ,

Yeah, that’s the broken window fallacy.

intelisense ,

That’s all well and good, but many of these Windows machines were headless or used by extremely non-technical people - think tills at your supermarket or airport check-in desks. Worse, some of these installations were running in the cloud, so console access would have been tricky.

intelisense ,

Snapshots are read only. Best plan is to rollback to a snapshot you think works, test it and if all is good use sudo snapper rollback to make the current snapshot the default. I usually reboot at that point too, not sure if it’s necessary though.

Income from capital can be, and is, taxed differently. In the U.K. there is Capital Gains Tax, for example. Why not adjust this instead of income tax?

I use Tumbleweed btw.

Labour wins majority in UK General Elections as Tories lose two-thirds of seats (www.theguardian.com)

The Labour party has won over 400 seats (out of 650) in the 2024 UK General Elections, and Keir Starmer is expected to replace Rishi Sunak as Prime Minister. The Conservatives, in power for the last fourteen years, have suffered a rout, losing over two-thirds of their seats. The SNP has collapsed in Scotland, mostly to Labour,...

Not to be nit-picky, but I’m pretty sure they kicked him because they thought he was antisemitic, not because he was too left wing.

The last time you posted this, I commented about all the reddit users that disappeared the day after the vote. I hate repeating myself, so here is a different anecdote.

During the campaign, many people - including yours truly - pointed out that if the admitedly mediocre change was rejected, the powers that be would argue that ‘the people’ had voted against change - any change. And that is exactly what happened www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-13297573.

…the referendum had delivered a “resounding answer that settles the question” over electoral change and people now wanted the government…

David Cameron (Prime Minister)

I personally believe that this result will settle the debate over changing our electoral system for the next generation.

Matthew Eliot (Leader of the No campaign)

You get exactly one chance at this. As Ru Paul likes to say, Do Not Fuck It Up.

Texas school district agrees to remove ‘Anne Frank’s Diary,’ ‘Maus’ and 670 other books after right-wing group’s complaint (forward.com)

Conservative activists, led by a local pastor and outspoken Israel advocate, pushed the district, Mission CISD, to excise books mostly about gender, sexuality and race. Their demands represented an extreme version of a nationwide culture war over books that has played out in recent years — and ensnared a number of books with...

intelisense ,

I’m interested in what their reasoning was for banning Maus - I certainly don’t recall any sex or amti-christian material.

intelisense ,

We had the same arguments in the U.K. during the referendum to drop FPTP. Strangely, the people making those arguments on Reddit all disappeared the day after the vote. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I am convinced that was Russia!s proof-of-concept for what would become their information warfare against democracy.

OP, you are most likely genuine and good meaning, but understand that Russia, China, and many other bad actors want you to keep FPTP because it’s so much easier for them to manipulate elections. Any argument against change, even if said change is not perfect, is in their favour.

  • Maternal grandma died before I was born.
  • Paternal grandma cooked a great roast beef and Yorkshire puddings. Incidentally, she would - and I’m sure this was deliberate - massacre Lancashire hot pot. The war of the roses raged on until the late 20th century, in her mind at least.
  • Mum cooked a great schnitzel and cucumber salad with caraway seeds. The schnitzel was fried, I’ve never heard of a baked schnitzel before…
  • Fiance cooks too many great things to choose just one

The best vegan recipes are indian. You can certainly eat well as a vegetarian in London, but most places will have an indian restaurant with a few veggie choices.

intelisense ,

Fair point!

intelisense ,

I dunno, having the same music taste seems like a good starting point at least.

intelisense ,

Simple: I fucking hate driving. I hate the smell, I hate the noise, and I hate the stress. Thr environmental impact isnt exactly a plus point either. You could say that I’m lucky to live in a place with good public transport, but I actively sought out a place with public transport because I didn’t want to rely on a car.

Final nail on the coffin: I developed Menieres disease, so I am prone to intense vertigo attacks at short notice - I couldn’t get a license even if I wanted one.

At this point, Sweden’s Grippen would be more useful.

intelisense ,

This is fucking retarded, of all the people to get free meals for life, they choose someone who is so rich it wouldn’t surprise me if he could buy the entire chain of restaurants.

So… let’s start uploading lots of gay/trans porn and swe how long it takes before the policy changes!

I was thinking of Russians and other bad actors using it to transfer cash. I’m not sure if that would be traceable, though?

I think we’ve given it the hug of death, or at least its incredibly slow…

Pfft, kids these days - I remember usenet.

IIRC, Qt comes with its own declarative language. That might be why you can’t find any bespoke ones.

What if you are severely immuno-compromised during a pandemic? Just die, I suppose?

I’m hoping some of the other acts no-show or pull out in advance in support of him. The actions of the EBU have been opaque and frankly awful.

intelisense ,

Honestly, I think there is a real problem with infantilisation - and (Warning: unpopular opinion) a large part of this is the marvel films and manga trend. Those always over simplify every problem to a short, violent solution.

intelisense ,

BTRFS for the OS partitions, ext4 for /home, tmpfs for /tmp. I rarely need to use snapshots, but I do use a rolling release. It’s one of those things you don’t need until you really fucking NEED it. Tumbleweed support is great - I can roll back a bad update in about as long as it takes to reboot.

I’m quite impressed she’s still able to travel at 101. My mum’s in her mid eighties and really struggles now.

You are forgetting cloud computing - all my workloads have moved to Graviton or will do very shortly.

Yet the telegram client is written in Qt and has great cross-platform support.

Amateur! Ints should be called i, j or k.

Uhhhh… Homer has three kids, surely?

Nethack. I remember playing it at university 30 years ago when it was text only. Amazingly, there is a version available for android and its fucking addictive.

How many people are going to live on this space station? Thousands at most. What about the rest left on a dying planet?

Cosmic radiation goes about 10kmt through the earth, so a pile of dirt won’t help. A metric fuck ton of water or an incredibly strong magnetic field would be the minimum. Earth is habitable because it has the later.

What even is the goal here? A tiny group of people are now just about surviving on a small spaceship so they don’t have to… just about survive on a dying planet? Not sure I see the win here…

intelisense ,

There is another way, the one we seem to have chosen already - do nothing and wait for nature to take its course. Lots of people will die, but mostly the global poor who are far enough away from the 1% for them to care.
