How do you know you haven't seen bitrot? What rsync arguments do you use to error out when an old, untouched file suddenly changes?

Don't be so dramatic. Firefox on macOS is perfectly usable.

Most Americans don't profit. A very small few do.

He did it twice and knew exactly what he was doing. The crowd he was in front of ate it right up.

Or more likely, some automated security system flagged popular but suspicious apps for further review.

The government is sued all the time.

How do you know the scripts aren't AI generated?

Blanket tariffs were a terrible idea. And the advisors that told Trump he could successfully start a gun fight with just his pointed finger in his pocket should scare us all.

No adults in the room to stop him.

Count me out of a society that uses LLMs to make rulings. The dystopia of having to find a lawyer who is best at promoting the "unbiased" judge sounds like a hellscape.

This screams E911 compliance than stalker-ware but I could definitely be wrong.

I know E911 was a big deal in the telephony world and since Teams is a phone service, this makes sense.

I don't like it but it makes sense.

A company that produces a wireless mouse that charges upside down really does not care about user experience.

I don't think his legacy was the reason him or his daughter were kicked out of the Republican party.

It was solely due to speaking out against Trump.

No but if there are no billionaires to buy up our media and politicians maybe we can start making positive changes in this country.

Is that a bad thing?

I mean usually it is pretty hard to determine fault since most presidents don't make gigantic changes early in their presidency.

Tarrifs on the whole world is a pretty large smoking gun.

I must have imagined the hang Mike Pence chants. You know his kids were in the building, huddling in a secure location and could hear those chants. They probably also saw the noise they made for him during subsequent news reports.

The capital police saved lives that day and prevented assassinations. Some of those officers died from injuries sustained by the attack on America.

I saw the video live. It was violent with the intent to attack America when it is at its weakest, during the transition of power.

Pardoning those people was a big green light signal to do it again.

I don't feel like Lex does anywhere near the prep that Dwarkesh does for the Sarah Paine interviews.

Bury the lede is the correct phrase. Otherwise I think you are spot on.

Is that a change? George Lucas certainly brought his politics around Vietnam to Star Wars. The 70s were a very radical and political time for movies

I think you'll find if you do a little research that Republicans use the idea of trickling down to justify their tax cuts. They even make the CBO change their accurate models to "dynamic scoring" models to help sell those tax cuts.

It will never stop being amazing seeing the actors that bring the Simpsons to life.

I had an IR remote that was set up to wake my Kodi box on button press. Seems very doable.

Trying to justify stealing the election, then trying to rewrite history saying the other side broke stuff when they prostested is the laziest sort of whataboutism I've seen on this site.

Trump and his minons tried to undo the results of an election. An election he lost. Lost even while abusing his power as president (see his calls in Ukraine and Georgia as evidence).

Nobody on the left supports looters or rapists. If there is evidence someone committed a crime, prosecute them. Trump is the only person I know that supports rapists (see Epstien and Gaetz). He says if you are loyal to him, you don't have to face the consequences of your actions. That to me is what is most scary.

He ordered murders. There isn't much of a difference in my eyes.

I don't think DBAN works on SSDs. The inner workings of the device tricks DBAN into thinking it is zeroing out parts of the drive but it is not.

That and the fact that SSDs hold back part of the usable storage for optimizations means DBAN can't even seen the whole drive.

I haven't been able to open the app. Crashed firefox on mobile and is unresponsive in FF on my mac.

Why are these companies forced to carry your speeches?

I feel like the XKCD perfectly reflects the free speech arguments I see online.

Seems like Kent was a jerk, was given a chance to apologize, didn't, then got kicked out.

Seems like a functioning community to me.

Being a good programmer doesn't absolve you of the need to be a good person to others.

Nice try Broadcom! I gave virt-manager a try and am happy to have made the switch.

I'll never install a VMware product again.
