CosmicTurtle0,

MIT is obviously is trying to trick us into removing our protection!

WANNABE DICTATOR Trump Demands that All Business Execs Be FIRED If They're Not 100% Behind Trump (www.dailykos.com)

On Tuesday morning Trump provided another example of his tyrannical tendencies. In a comment posted to his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, Trump issued a decree to the world that he imagines is attentive to his crackpot ravings. He demanded that…...

CosmicTurtle0,

This. So much this.

It wasn’t Trump who stormed the Capitol.

It wasn’t Trump who threatened the lives election officials. It wasn’t Trump who swatted jurors.

It was the alt-right.

Colorado Republican Brutally Grilled By Local News Anchor: ‘Why Is Abortion Good For Your Girlfriend? Bad For Other Women?’ (www.mediaite.com)

Colorado congressional candidate and sitting State Rep. Richard Holtorf ® received a tough grilling this week at the hands of local 9News anchor Kyle Clark over his apparent hypocrisy when it comes to abortion rights....

CosmicTurtle0,

The Atlantic article is paywalled.

Here’s a link to the author’s blog post: joycearthur.com/…/the-only-moral-abortion-is-my-a…

CosmicTurtle0,

We’re in the golden age of greenwashing. Corporations are horny to show like they are “doing something” for the environment without doing a fucking thing. But it can’t be too expensive and have it eat into their bottom line.

Just environmentally conscious enough to win over people who feel guilty for flying (bonus if you can get them to pay) but not so much that your shareholders wonder if you aren’t putting their short term interests first.

CosmicTurtle0,

It’s out of character for her to get caught.

CosmicTurtle0,

There was a Jordan Klepper interview with MAGAhats and, I kid you not, someone said a version of this. One sentence after the other.

The cognitive dissonance was just unbelievable.

CosmicTurtle0,

Why edit it out? His base isn’t going to care. And even if they did, fox controls the narrative. “It was just locker room talk.”

CosmicTurtle0,

It’s possible that the Dyson driers do a miny Baryon sweep of your hands…except it doesn’t ablate your hands off.

CosmicTurtle0,

This needs to be a Lower Decks episode.

Mariner: Why don’t you use the Dyson dryer?

Boimler: Because they don’t really get your hands dry. I end up using a paper towel anyway. Besides, I don’t want to accidentally slice my hands off.

Mariner: Quit being a baby. I just finished tuning it. Give it a try.

Boimler: sigh fine. The Dyson dryer cuts his hands clean off.

Beat

They both start screaming

CosmicTurtle0,

Democrats fall in love. Republicans fall in line.

The problem with Democrats is that because it’s a big tent, it’s harder to coalesce around one or two issues. Some Democrats really care about the environment and won’t come out to vote unless the candidate says they’ll do right by it. Other Democrats care about prison reform and won’t vote for a candidate that has a history of supporting laws that put more people into prison.

When the Republican platform is “At least we’re not liberals”, it’s much easier to get your people out to vote.

CosmicTurtle0,

The hypocrisy around this argument is just crazy.

Alt-right: Trump is being persecuted!

Normal people: but president can do whatever they want, right?

Alt-right: yes!

Normal people: so…president Biden is allowed to persecute whomever he wants right?

Alt-right: (visible confusion)

We all know, in their minds, Biden is bound by the law and not protected whereas Trump is protected by the law and not bound.

But they would never admit this.

CosmicTurtle0,

Idk…seems like the average apple user to me.

Trillion dollar company Apple is right and can do no wrong.

It’s all those other people who need to do better.

CosmicTurtle0,

“That was a lone wolf.”

“Nobody saw that coming.”

“He was always so peaceful.”

“He’s an elder of my church.”

“Just one bad apple.”

“A rare occurrence.”

CosmicTurtle0,

I’m sure someone much more talented than me can make it into a heiku

CosmicTurtle0,

Because the guys threatening to shoot up “leftys” are the same ones who would be doing the arresting.

You can’t arrest yourself.

CosmicTurtle0,

We need the Satanic Temple to unironically demand Satan worship classes.

CosmicTurtle0,

I swear whenever I see sed/awk commands, it looks like I’m about to summon the demon beast.

CosmicTurtle0,

I am pretty okay with regex. Enough that I can do what I want.

sed/awk I’ve used on occasion, usually sed to change something in a pipeline.

I still feel like I’m casting a demon.

'Confused' Judge Cannon needed concept explained 'slowly' to her in court by lawyers: NYT (www.rawstory.com)

As part of an analysis of how U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida Judge Aileen Cannon, reports from her courtroom show a judge who is both “prickly” and" insecure" and often has trouble understanding what lawyers from both sides try to explain to her....

CosmicTurtle0,

In a normal court, the justices are often held in high regard, whereby whomever appointed them is hardly even a factoid.

The problem is that with Trump, he’s known for quid pro quo as well as just not even knowing the person. Odds are good that Bannon slipped her name to Trump and suddenly she’s “the most brilliant legal mind the nation has ever known. Just brilliant. Very smart.”

Besides being nominated by Trump, I’m not sure if the prosecutors had any standing to have her recused.

CosmicTurtle0,

Death by snu snu.

My friend didn't have a great experience with Linux

I have been daily driving Linux for over two years now and I have switched distros many times. So, when my friend bought a new laptop, I convinced him to install Linux Mint on it. I asked him if he wanted to dual boot, he said no because it would fill up all his storage. We installed Linux Mint. The other day, he wanted to play...

CosmicTurtle0,

This right here. I know lemmy is all “LINUX IS FOR EVERYONE!” But it isn’t.

I know this would go against Google’s self interest but they are best poised to make Linux mainstream. Chrome OS can play android games natively. But it’s all close source.

It wouldn’t take much to make the ecosystem for general Linux. I don’t know if the other android-based OSes are working on this but anything we can do to push gaming into Linux would help it to become a better everyday OS

CosmicTurtle0,

Car manufacturers and oil producers have a vested interest in making bikes, ev bikes in particular, illegal.

Basically the same playbook that Henry Ford used to make cities less walkable.

CosmicTurtle0,

It’s a weird timeline where we rather have someone who is just embezzling than actually causing harm.

At least he was stimulating the economy, among other things.

CosmicTurtle0,

Actually I heard that Netanyahu has some details about the maintenance practices of Boeing planes.

CosmicTurtle0,

Didn’t Tennessee also expel 5 representatives because of reasons who then won their own special elections?

CosmicTurtle0,

I think what @ThePyroPython is trying to say is that if Trump wins, the odds of oppression by the alt-right are pretty high.

Keep in mind that Biden got put into office because of people in states willing to do the right thing.

Many Secretaries of States have already indicated that they won’t certify elections if they feel that there may have been issues and we all know that they are going to be “issues” if Biden wins.

We’re literally, not figuratively, facing the death of democracy this November.

CosmicTurtle0,

Oddly enough, the discussion is never on the other side.

If you simply want to allow people to view your code, you can just upload it to GitHub or something similar.

By default, your work is copyright and you hold all rights, excluding those you give up to GitHub.

Open-Sourcing your project is all about choosing the license that you want your users to use.

Please, for the love of God, choose an existing license. Don’t go out and try to make one yourself or mix and match. Not only do you open yourself up to liability but it just makes it harder for you to keep track of it.

Choosing a license is all about your personal preference and what your goals are. The two ends of the spectrum:

  • MIT License: do whatever you want, so long as you attribute me. Most libraries use this license.
  • GPL/AGPL: if you use my code, you must also release using GPL/AGPL or similarly appropriate license. Linux Kernel famously uses version 2. Linus Torvalds has issues with some of the terms in V3.

There is a lot of middle ground between these two philosophies. Most of the major licenses have seen some level of court cases. I personally use AGPL, which is often seen as one of the strongest, most restrictive, licenses.

I do not recommend releasing code to public domain. This often is a point of contention between OSS purists and OSS “spirit”. I personally believe we’re entering a new world of AI-driven content and I don’t want more code feeding that beast.

The license is then copied and pasted to a LICENSE file at the root of your repo and, boom. You’ve open sourced your code.

Keep in mind: that commit (and all future commits) will be available under that license until your copyright expires, so long as that license exists in your repo. You cannot claw it back.

One word of advice: you aren’t likely going to see a bunch of people downloading your stuff. So don’t get your hopes up that you’ll have people submitting bug reports or making PRs, etc. All of my projects are just for me to use with one or two people reviewing it for fun. All but one, anyway.

CosmicTurtle0,

Open source software literally means that the source code is available to anyone. In GitHub, that just means that your repo is public rather than private.

You can make publicly available any code that is fully under copyright. The reader cannot compile, modify, or redistribute it. It’s called “source available”.

Open Source has a specific definition that has been tested in court, which means that you are able to make modifications, transform, etc. within the confines of the license that is provided with the code.

There are two types of “free”: free as in gratis (free beer) vs free as in libre (free speech). The OSS licenses very clearly dictate by which means that you are free.

House votes to require delivery of bombs to Israel in GOP-led rebuke of Biden policies (apnews.com)

The House delivered a rebuke to President Joe Biden Thursday for pausing a shipment of bombs to Israel, passing legislation that seeks to force the weapons transfer as Republicans worked to highlight Democratic divisions over the Israel-Hamas war....

CosmicTurtle0,

The House and the GOP know exactly what they are doing. They passed a repeal of Obamacare something like 80 times in Obama’s last few months in office and then didn’t dare pass one while Trump was there.

This is political theater meant to rile up the base.

CosmicTurtle0, (edited )

You know what they call law students that are at the bottom of the class?

Lawyers.

CosmicTurtle0,

Republican women are no different than Republicans generally: they think the rules are for everyone else.

They aren’t going to be affected because they are special. And Christian. After all, God is behind them!

See, if brown and/or poor people would just accept JEBUS into their hearts, they too would know the love that a child would provide! God only hurts sluts. He would never do that to a god fearing woman.

I need to wake up early (lemmy.world)

All the vibrating alarm clocks I could find do not sync with your phone, and have to be set manually. I thought about getting an Arduino, but then I will have to build the whole thing by myself. The only logical conclusion I could come up with is to get a programable vibrator. But most of them are either very expensive of look...

CosmicTurtle0,

Why does it need to sync with your phone?

What’s the goal of connecting it?

As others have mentioned, I’d look for alarm clocks for deaf people. Many are in the $20 range but don’t do Bluetooth.

CosmicTurtle0,

I read this in the voice of Seth Myers doing Trump.

Or Stephen Colbert doing Trump.

The words are too coherent to hear them as Trump.

CosmicTurtle0,

Well…yeah. But brown people will suffer.

So it’s all good.

  • Republicans, but unironically

A GOP Texas school board member campaigned against schools indoctrinating kids. Then she read the curriculum. (www.texastribune.org)

Weeks after winning a school board seat in her deeply red Texas county, Courtney Gore immersed herself in the district’s curriculum, spending her nights and weekends poring over hundreds of pages of lesson plans that she had fanned out on the coffee table in her living room and even across her bed. She was searching for...

CosmicTurtle0,

I agree with you, generally.

The hard part is convincing every other alt-right winger. They aren’t convinced by research and facts.

Ironically, it’s their feelings that matter more and since they “feel” like indoctrination is happening, it must be true.

“The damn libs must have given her fake curriculums.”

Or “She just got bought by the deep state.”

Or “Now SHE’S going to indoctrinate the kids!”

CosmicTurtle0,

She’s a legit snack

CosmicTurtle0,

If it’s still in alpha, then a standard non disclosure should be fine.

A non-disparagement clause is overkill.

CosmicTurtle0,

Cloud cost is pretty cheap, especially if you do cold storage.

Where they get you is egress fees.

CosmicTurtle0,

I had someone on my team accept a relocation package from my company to move from DC to Texas, right around the abortion ban.

She’s a smart woman. And black.

I just couldn’t believe she would voluntarily make that move.

CosmicTurtle0,

Make no mistake: Republicans are doing this because they can see their polls are waning. They haven’t learned shit. They are still moving forward with Project 2025 and are taking steps to make sure that Trump “wins” in November.

Their majority is waning and they know if they lose more members, the Democrats will have a majority going into the election.

If they had balls, they’d out the speaker. But they know that in order to keep their power, they need to be pragmatic.

Greene does not have that trait.

CosmicTurtle0,

Yeah that hit me wrong too. I believe he often addresses him Lt. Paris or Mr. Paris.

CosmicTurtle0,

Depends if you subscribe to the timeline that the biomimetic Paris was the one demoted instead of the real Paris.

Some people think that’s why for a few episodes, Paris can be seen with both lieutenant and ensign pips on his collar.

why cant we connect 2 computers using USB

So i tried to connect steamdeck to pc using usb and i read its immpossible because steamdeck is a computer and some explanation on quora about strong master slave relationship. But then why is it possible for android phones to connect to pc whilist also having the ability to use USB and other usb c accesories. Also why cant it...

CosmicTurtle0,

Crossover cable.

I still have one around just in case but wifi makes it unnecessarily these days.

CosmicTurtle0,

It must have gotten better than the last time I tried to use Ventoy. Maybe 5 years ago? It kept complaining that the USB drive I was using was bad when it worked completely fine with other tools.

CosmicTurtle0,

Looks like they aren’t the first:

Bolivia broke with relations with Israel at the end of October last year while several other countries in Latin America, including Colombia, Chile and Honduras, have recalled their ambassadors.

Recalling ambassadors is a huge deal. I don’t know if Israel has followed suit or if those countries will expel existing diplomats.

CosmicTurtle0,

They got light sentences. And let’s face it, the people that are going to organize yet another insurrection are going to be duped by the same logic that Trump will pardon them or that their acts are justified.

Trump is threatening our democracy. Again.

He’s saying that if he doesn’t win, there’s going to be another insurrection.

The sad reality is that over the last four years, fascist states have put laws into place that make it legal to overturn elections for little to no reason. No oversight.

He won’t need an insurrection because he has willing accomplices.
