You should reread their post. You're proving their point.

FWIW, a lot of of the victims (possibly all) are saying they don't care about redactions if they end up being used to protect perpetrators. They want to make sure everyone is held accountable.

Red Hat is the bigger party here. Their minimization of this issue seems a little like bullying.

> It's to H&R Block's benefit to make you feel that taxes are stressful and you need 3rd party help, though. That you were stressed out about this interaction is H&R's fault; not the law or the IRS.

H&R has lobbyists to ensure taxes are complicated and stressful.

Have you checked out Gambas[1]?

Kinda awkward to use on the toilet.

You're still contributing to the Chromium monoculture, though.

I would say those aren't really desktop environments. They provide the bare minimum for window management and compositing, but not much more. Desktop environments encompass much more than that, like managing file type associations, and protocol handling.

I've been using Ydotool[1] for this, and it works really well.

They take some aesthetic inspiration from Gnome, but Cosmic inherits none of its code since it's being written in Rust.

Byobu just works on top of either screen or tmux. By default it will try to use screen, but you can force it to use tmux with byobu-tmux.

That's a risk developers take by signing with a publisher.

Two minutes is about the amount of time it takes to fill my ICE car, so yeah, that'd be nice.

I think you mean M-w and C-y.

Needs a /s.

That scene from Sneakers would be so different nowadays. [1]

No one here is saying that. What so many are saying is that we're just not that interesting. Any highly advanced technological species that can build spaceships that can cross the vastness of space isn't going to take anything more than a passing interest, if even that, in a species that can't even get out of its own solar system.

I can see a possible future where the are less cars because people don't feel the need to own one, and are just fine with calling an autonomous cab.

This isn't legalization. It's just decriminalization. There's a big difference. People can still be fined for their use if there isn't a medical reason, but they won't go to jail or prison.

Not all heart disease happens due to lifestyle choices. There aren't a lot of preventative treatment options for people who have a family history of heart disease.

I'm not sure what mobile you're using, but on Firefox Mobile on Android, if I rotate it to landscape, the tables turn into regular tables like in desktop mode, but I didn't have to change to desktop mode.

Can you cite any studies on that?

No such comparison was being made. The issue is whether or not the US or Chinese government affect our lives more, and since there's no danger of China trying to invade the US anytime soon, it's obviously the former. The Chinese don't care about watching the average person.

Your description of intersectionality is the exact opposite of what it is. It's entire purpose is to show everyone that playing the operation Olympics is a pointless game that no one wins. It's too show that everyone's struggles don't fit into neat little boxes that define them, and show that social problems are multidimensional that don't have simple solutions, and shows that a lot of DEI initiatives are superficial, and likely won't make any real difference.

I'm too old to switch careers, but for anyone interested in architecture, I recommend Dami Lee. She obviously can't cover everything, but I think it should give anyone interested an idea of what to expect if they decide to go to school for it.

I always took that as a hyperbole, and not something to be taken literally, and a foreshadowing of him showing them up on that point.

It did make it confusing though. For a long time as a kid, I always wondered why I never heard native Japanese speakers say "Japan" unless they were speaking English. While I couldn't understand it, I could somewhere reasonably sometimes hear words where I've seen it's romanization, but not ever hearing "Japan" was quite baffling for a long time.

Trying to rename UFOs to UAPs seems like a waste of effort to me. I don't think anyone that's already convinced they're made by aliens are suddenly going to be convinced that they're not.

If anything, this will fuel their speculations of cover ups, and they'll probably even think this name change was ordered by little green men.

I don't think anyone getting emails and letters about this stuff are going to see a drop in their volume about this stuff.

It's not a bad idea. It's just a practical reality of their interaction with each other that causes a problem that's hard to workaround.

> There are darker things down the path of eroding our protections from our government than whatever evil they’re asking us to yield for.

I agree with you, but this illustrates part of the problem of our messaging. These policies are still just tools which don't have an inherent moral value. The evil comes from their abuse on a mass scale, and the huge temptation to abuse them, with the emphasis on how easily the powerful can be corrupted.

This is prone to being called out for being a slippery slope fallacy, but we need to just back it up with historical precedent, like how similar policies were abused in the US as revealed by Snowden.
