Who could've guessed that the "public private partnership" was extremely ineffective and only serves to funnel tax payer dollars to private owners while giving kick backs to politicians. Wow. Who knew.

The "Far Left" HR software devs: "don't call community members slurs"

>:(

All of these institutions are cooked.

Idk how someone wouldn't mention the way they exercise monopoly power or data collection etc...

You don't even have to go that far, you can just use torsniff. But be aware there is a lot of nsfw material and potentially illegal material for all I know.

Definitely a few. Media companies often send out infringement notices to ISPs to be forwarded to the user and I would guess this is how they get those IPs

Wayland is a lot smoothet than X. The colors are better too and there's just something about how the pixels are rendered that looks a million times better. It becomes apparent after using Wayland and then going back to X.

This dude is definitely into some hysterical right wing conspiracies. I remember he got yelled at by Linus Torvalds on the LKML for trying to spread anti-vax bs.

I always find it ironic how people like this non-stop whine about "politics in mah FOSS" or video games or w/e, but will turn around and write a manifesto in the README drenched in right wing politically charged slop.

ultimately I really don't care what they spend their time doing, some people still want X11 and if they can keep it running then good for them. I use Wayland because it looks a lot better and is a lot smoother. Its that simple.

I got a combo of 6 up to 45. Pretty fun. I tried to condition it into what I would normally do, and then tried to subvert that

I think it's absurd. I work full time in the richest country on Earth and I can't afford an apartment and healthcare. The problem is clearly not advertising.

Real "billionaire goes homeless for one night to prove the stupid poors are lazy and stupid and need to hedge their expectations" type of energy

Thank you!

And if they think that this version of Linux "isn't janky" but regular Linux is, than idk what to say.

Did they store the icons as byte arrays?

Nope, that's exactly how setuid works. You're setting the [s]pecial bit on a binary to tell the system to always run it as the provided [u]ser

This is why I think we need publicly funded open source projects with paid leads. There are so many basic things we've failed to do for ourselves and our fellow human beings.

For example, the best non-AI TTS system is still Ivona TTS that originated at Blizzard in like 2007. The best open source solution is espeak and it's permanently stuck in 1980... Ivona was bought up by Amazon and now they don't even use the original software, but do charge money per word to use the voice via Amazon Polly. They could open source it, but they don't.

We don't even have something as basic as text to speech freely available, whether you are disabled or not. That is a problem. You have this amazing innovation that still holds to this day, squandered away for nothing.

Why can't we just have an institute that develops these things in the open, for all to use? We clearly all recognize the benefit as SysV tools are still used today! We could have so many amazing things but we don't. It's embarrassing

What tech isn't there? It's been there for decades at this point. Unless you mean delusional ideas like pumping even more waste into the air in hopes that we can magically pull it out. Yes, that's always been a lie, and will always be untenable. The reality is that the US has no intention of moving away from oil and thats purely due to financial incentive and existing power structures being intertwined with oil barons

He doesn't want to admit to being the cause of the rot, it makes him feel bad (but not bad enough to not do it lol)

I think that is about the most gentle way you can put it. This is an echo of 2008 and the notion that this is normal is so absurd to me. It comes off as super out of touch. Financing groceries is dystopian.

"suffer" in this context is using some form of renewable energy and curtailing the industries that pump the 95% of all CO2 into the air. The absolute horror.

You say this, but if you think that is suffering, wait until clean water is a limited resource. You aren't going to be running away to Mars. We can't even fix the very simple issues on Earth.

I'm sorry but this is so misguided. You could magically take every gas powered vehicle off of the road immediately, and you would only remove like 3% of the problem. The idea that you can "consumer activism" your way out of a industrial production problem is a malicious lie propagated by Neo-Liberals who directly benefit from those industries.

I'd trust BYD more than Tesla but I don't want to have to trust anyone. I drove a 20 year old Honda still to this day, but literally every new car has software in it and it won't be an option in the future. It's just too profitable to gather the data that they generate. It's a privacy nightmare. I'm still appalled that Tesla got caught pulling footage of people having sex in their own vehicles, but the legal world has no intention of doing anything about it.

It's basically "divine right to rule" for rich people, sans religion. I remember hearing about Rand and eventually reading Rand, and I quite literally thought it was satire. Tbf it would be peak if it was satire, but I genuinely don't understand how anyone can subscribe to this in earnest.

looks like if Zig and Golang had a child. But I would expect something like file.writeString()

this is what tab completion and tldr is for. 99% of use cases are well covered and clear by the name of the flag, and a good CLI tool will make that easy to understand. A quick example and self-explanatory flags with tab-completion is all you need. Then if you ever have a more complicated use case, you can grep through the man page.

its legit as simple as "fd -e png -x optimize-png {}" the only thing I dont like about fd is that for some reason it kind of forces you to do 'fd . Downloads' if you just want everything in "Downloads" which equates to 'fd {pattern} Dir1 dir2" I wish you could omit the pattern sometimes.

This analogy disregards everything we know and understand about the internet and how corporations operate

Would it be possible to clone an ancient human being from DNA?

Those posters in contrast with the widespread reception of Daylight savings time and the resistance against it, to the inability to stand against corporate interests. Its truly a timeless American classic... a tradition as old as time: using state propaganda to advance corporate interest and crushing the wants and needs of as many people as it takes.

How many people get past the first page? I'd wager a guess its under 3%. It could be 20 results or an infinite amount, it wouldn't make a single bit of difference. It is a fact that google gets to control who and what shows up in a search, and they put paying entries at the top. There are many problems with this. They have also de-listed websites from google search, and are at a high risk of complying with any government request to censor topics. Which, again, is not good for humanity.

AI iS gOInG tO mAkE tHe wOrLD a BeTtEr PlAcE. Mhm, I'm sure. These people don't see those that they believe are underneath them as human beings. They are cattle to have their blood drained for profit. Privacy? Ethics? Integrity? Humanity?... Or money?

no lol you're just missing the question I am asking. obviously sizeof wont return a pointer. Im just saying, wouldn't it be `sizeof(usize)` essentially... or `sizeof(ptr_size_on_platform)`
