guerrilla··on Linux From Scratch ends SysVinit support
Almost. Not Alpine and a few others.
guerrilla··on Linux From Scratch ends SysVinit support
Exactly. Now, remember how everyone gaslit us into saying we'd always have a choice? We told you so.

Switching out glibc is pretty easy compared to systemd. That's the thing peoplle don't get. systemd is seriously insidius, like a virus.
guerrilla··on Anki ownership transferred to AnkiHub
Worrying won't help. Find alternatives. Make a plan.
guerrilla··on US has investigated claims WhatsApp chats aren't private
> My money is on the chats being end to end encrypted and separately uploaded to Facebook.

This is what I've suspected for a long time. I bet that's it. They can already read both ends, no need to b0rk the encryption. It's just them doing their job to protect you from fourth parties, not from themselves.

guerrilla··on Antirender: remove the glossy shine on architectural renderings
Okay now do it on character models so that they don't look like plastic dolls.
guerrilla··on In 6 violent encounters, evidence contradicts immigration officials' narratives
It's seemed like a good time for quite a while...
guerrilla··on In 6 violent encounters, evidence contradicts immigration officials' narratives
Is it? I really don't think so. You don't remember the whole "superpredator" thing? Every time a black dude is shot, they'll start talking about how he must have been some kinda criminal. People of color have been suffering this shit forever. Sure, the Internet makes things faster, but the policies are the same.

Oh I thought that was the angry little man, what's his name... Ben Shapiro! (Google knew what I meant.)

guerrilla··on Amazon cuts 16k jobs
I remember 280, but jesus things clearly got out of control.
guerrilla··on In a genre where spoilers are devastating, how do we talk about puzzle games?
Come to r/myst. I think we do alright. It's true that it's its own skill though. You have to learn to refer to things in vague terms at least.
guerrilla··on Amazon cuts 16k jobs
I'm not reading all that. I thought tweets were supposed to be short. What the hell happened?

I think you're grossly underestimating European naivete. You probably did fuck up your relationship with Canada though. They didn't seem happy about that one.
guerrilla··on Android’s desktop interface leaks
God this looks like a nightmare. Using Android on a desktop would be a fascist dystopia. Using it on phones is bad enough, computing while wearing a straight-jacket, but now they're going to have complete control of our computers and spy on everything we do on it? I can't imagine a worse outcome for the PC.
guerrilla··on Heathrow scraps liquid container limit
Ah damn, that was buried. They ought to change the rest to past tense then.

> a few pennies (sorry, those don't exist now, how about for a few nickles?)

Wait what? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny_(United_States_coin)

guerrilla··on Pharos: The Lighthouse at Alexandria
Okay, good job putting a picture right there for once, academics.
guerrilla··on People who know the formula for WD-40
It smells so fucking good though, don't you think? You almost want to taste it.
guerrilla··on France Aiming to Replace Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, etc.
> nor respect corporate norms there.

What do you mean?

guerrilla··on House of Lords Votes to Ban UK Children from Using Internet VPNs
Proxies aren't VPNs though. They didn't mean call proxies VPNS, they meant provide proxies.

I don't think they don't mean the same thing you mean by scooters. Difference in the language.

They still build POWER infrastructure too, but as far as I know Linux pretty much dominates. You can even buy POWER workstations from third party vendors like Raptor Computing Systems. Very expensive though.
guerrilla··on San Francisco Graffiti
It works great on mobile. That's more than I can say for most things.
guerrilla··on The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world (2019)
> I just always wonder how we have so many people eating this up when the strategy is so blindingly obvious

It shouldn't be surprising considering how naive people are in general. People actually believe we live in democracies despite a century of evidence to the contrary. Propaganda and indoctrination are highly effective, and why wouldn't they be? I think it's the same reason we end up with so many unhinged people believing in reptilian conspiracy theories ir whatever: the media is always lying to them on a daily basis, so they can't trust it and without educations of their own have no way to distinguish truth from falsity anymore... why not just go with what sounds good or feels right. What other option do they have? Buy in, tune out or be lost. Those are the choices for 99% of people alive. Also, who has the energy anyway? Few are as privledged with time and energy as we are.

What country...
guerrilla··on ICE using Palantir tool that feeds on Medicaid data
If you have, you should post articles in English about that. People would be interested.

Well that's insane. I hadn't heard that.
guerrilla··on Doom has been ported to an earbud
Awesome advertising for the Pinebunds Pro. No chance the Fairbuds can do this? I don't know much about them.

Also, with DOOM running on all these things now, is it still impossible to get it to run well on a 386?

Back then there were quite a few competing architectures and UNIXes to go with them. SGI MIPS with Irix, IBM had POWER with AIX and later Linux, DEC had Alpha Tru64 UNIX and VMS (not a UNIX), Sun SPARC with Solaris, HP had HA-RISC with HP-UX. Only SPARC and POWER survived for long and only POWER survived until today as far as I know. Solaris of course lives on in various forms. The old UNIXes I guess mostly do not, being displaced almost entirely by Linux and BSDs.
