Wouldn't it be fun to upload content of a big music label or smth like that?

It's gnome. You will have a developer explain to you how your usecase is invalid.

You had an good, psychologically plausible explanation for some individuals to over-rely on AI and... dismissed it and called them stupid. Adults are not special, they are mostly kids that got older.

zero improvement on end-user experience. does not solve supply chain issues, debian package will reproducabily contain the malware from upstream.

It comes from having the sort of parents whose behavior warrants this kind of suspicions.

IPv6 is IPv4 with 12 more bytes, right?

The main advantage of certificates is that you are able to do that from the CA without touching the target machine.

I like NAT

I'm in favor of having society overrule you. NAT is a horrible kludge and not okay. Never was.

where every person alive is an abuse survivor of varying seriousness

An odd way to frame it but probably true.

which will bring us right back to ignoring people who need help

That does not follow - if the environmental sources are known, people (especially teachers and social workers) can look out for them and take measures to improve the outcome for the child. And this is what I'm seeing right now.

See it on a societal scale - for the same effort put into raising kids, you get more functional adults.

I'm not saying these 3 linked issues are caused by childhood trauma, but that they are diagnosed because of the overlap of symptoms.

This is vaguely among experts (for autism and emotional instability): https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11724683

This is not ruling out a causal link in the opposite direction, that autism increases vulnerability to traumata.

And while researching case reports on child abuse, i couldn't help to notice that many cases do - indeed - start with an autism diagnosis and only escalate later, example: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11886450/

While its true that parents don't cause autism... they can surely cause the diagnosis. Extra bad because it delays appropriate treatment.

Child abuse might be a large driver behind dysfunctionality in adulthood, with disability or early retirement as a consequence. There were some big child neglect cases around the millennium, since them, the topic got more attention from researchers.

It used to be that traumatised kids got slapped with a ADHD, autism and/or borderline diagnosis and it got called a day. These are "that's just how you are" style diagnoses. Since 2018 there is CPTSD which finally connects the symptoms to how you got treated as a child. The denial phase is over.

Lawmakers are a bit behind, as usual, but at this point the scale of the problems can't be denied anymore. Its too late for you and me, but I'm optimistic for future generations.

Giving people reason to laugh while you are old and dying is a superpower. I wish i will have it, too.

As secret as the ssh manual.

ModemManager used to open() and probe every tty device attached to the system. I had a 8-channel relay card with an arduino nano wired up with my desk to control the lights and disco ball, interfaced with a custom ascii-based serial protocol. connecting it to an ubuntu machine (where modemmanager was active in the default install) turned the 2nd or 3rd channel on.

This was generally infuriating, there are many arduino forum posts about modemmanager messing up DIY setups.

Upstream fix was changing modemmanager to work on a whitelist / opt-in approach instead of blacklist / out-opt. My fix was to switch to debian.

Dylan is the sort of computer person who was like "fuck this crap" and went into farming. I'm surprised they still update their blog.

Its not just good, its the maximum you can get with MS-DOS. The remaining 3 kb are the interrupt table, the BDA and the IO.SYS stub.

This was detailed in Geoff Chapells "DOS Internals". I loved that book.

complex life on earth is half a billion years old (cambrian explosion 550ma ago), so the sun shouldn't be that much of an factor.

Its not a "risk".

Water vapor (clouds) is a stonger greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. We already got measurably higher temperatures, so we also have higher water evaporation, and from the last 5 years it looks like it happens every year.

So the runaway is already happening, until something stops it near hothouse conditions or hopefully earlier than that.

yeah but carrying and raising kids?

The pretense is security, PC software attestation is already in the workings: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46784572

ibus and goa both run under dbus.service.

I ran into this problem because ibus runs later than setxkbmap and undoes the keyboard settings.

With "owner" not being the legal owner, but Microsoft.

alternate libc's like musl. the eglibc controversy showed this was necessary but poettering initially refused to support a "non-useful libc". his words.

With everything depending on systemd interfaces, its an exhausting uphill battle to run anything desktop-like without systemd.

Want to run xterm? Requires Xorg. rootless Xorg requires udev, udev turned into a systemd component. want to run xterm without systemd? good luck, you are now the maintainer of your own LFS.

Initially i hated systemd for the change it bought and lennarts behavior, but today I'm wiser.

Today i hate systemd for its bad debugability (edit unit & daemon-reload loops), the lockups that happen whenever there is a fifo in the wrong place, and the processes that systemd spawns with no apparent related unit and without means to mask them. And the difficult to disable suspends on machines that never had any business suspending.

You're just not entitled to have third parties trust that device with their systems and money.

But its a bank, right? Its my money.

Everything under the assumption that tampering is a bigger problem then abusive companies controlling your software stack.

... and it will also refuse to boot if it has been modified by the user.

Preventing this was the reason we had free software in the first place.

Because I use NixOS

feels like the new "btw i use arch"

Maybe its that the social norms around sex are that women do not enjoy it and men have to force it on them.

The harm of that is that women feel shame for enjoying it and men feel shame for wanting it.

The social norms are garbage, at some point in life you figure it out by experience...
