The number of murderers who claim good God told them to do it is non-zero.

deadbeef79000,

Yes, rather an autocorrect-o.

deadbeef79000,

Catharsis.

deadbeef79000,

“hoe”.

deadbeef79000,

I really don’t like that underscore.

deadbeef79000,

I quite like “Pop!OS”.

Or perhaps a play on IBM: OS/Pop!

Now that I think about it. It’s just the !_ being beside each other that bugs me: OS_Pop! is cool.

deadbeef79000,

I’m reasonably sure it’s the popping sound you make with your mouth oh ess.

deadbeef79000,

No, your thinking of RHEL which is danish for “redhatsegregiouslicensingbullshit”.

Gentoo enters the chat

deadbeef79000,

It’s the only way to be sure

deadbeef79000,

No that’s Thorin, your thinking of a sharp growth on the stem of some plants.

I prefer my beer 93% alcohol free.

CSIS had officer investigated after she reported a superior raped her (www.cbc.ca)

A CSIS officer’s allegation that she was raped repeatedly by a superior in agency vehicles set off a harassment inquiry, but also triggered an investigation into her that concluded the alleged attacks were a “misuse” of agency vehicles by the woman....

All cops eventually become bastards or quit.

I.e. the good apples eventually rot too or get removed from the bushel.

deadbeef79000,

I use gnome at 4k and avoided fractional scaling by setting gnome to large text and increasing the ide’s font sizes.

Nice crisp fonts, but annoying settings (but only set once).

deadbeef79000,

Nah, just a giant compiled binary blob. That’s what all the cool hackers do these days.

deadbeef79000,

Thanks for taking one for the team.

deadbeef79000,

Paywalled. Anyone got a summary? Firefox reader view FTW.

Given Iran said they’d retaliate, and said when… there must be a technicality here. Like “it wasn’t notified via the UN” or “they didn’t email it to war@whitehouse.gov” or something.

WASHINGTON/BAGHDAD/DUBAI, April 14 (Reuters) - Turkish, Jordanian and Iraqi officials said on Sunday that Iran gave wide notice days before its drone and missile attack on Israel, but U.S. officials said Tehran did not warn Washington and that it was aiming to cause significant damage.

Turkey’s Foreign Ministry said it had spoken to both Washington and Tehran before the attack, adding it had conveyed messages as an intermediary to be sure reactions were proportionate.

Yeah, technically. This is straight up a lie.

deadbeef79000,

America deserves better than trump or Biden

Yes, you do.

But, the administration of every president in my living memory would likely have reacted the same way. There seems to be an impressive inertia in the USA’s Middle East bullshit that seems to transcend president and party.

They think…

Unfortunately not critically thinking.

deadbeef79000,

Marketing has to be one of the most fungible business activities there are. That any business maintains its own marketing department (you’d still need someone to be the marketing director) is a waste of resources.

“Here’s $1m, put my products in front of 200,000 of the best market segment. Oh here’s some art to use.”

deadbeef79000,

You’d think that, of all the peoples of the world, the one people who’d least want to be, who’d know better, the agents of genocide and forced migration would be der Juden.

deadbeef79000,

Actually, yeah. It’s pretty obvious when you put it in those terms.

I was just hoping that “I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy” would have more inertia.

Europe’s farmers are in revolt and the far right is trying to make hay (www.washingtonpost.com)

The farmers standing with their arms crossed outside a sheep barn in rural Brittany were absolutely furious, completely en colère. For a visiting centrist politician, that made for an earful. For Europe’s far right, it has provided an opening....

deadbeef79000,

New noun unlocked: farm right.

Definition: Right-wing farmers who won’t adapt or die.

deadbeef79000,

ME:5 … Can’t wait.

Trailer put a lump in my throat.

What distro should I use on my potato?

I have an HP Stream 11 that I want to use for word processing and some light web browsing - I’m a writer and it’s a lightweight laptop to bring to the library or coffee shop to write on. Right now it’s got Windows and it’s unusable due to lack of hard drive space for updates. Someone had luck with Xubuntu, but it’s...

deadbeef79000,

A potato? GlaDOS surely.

Start with Debian, end with Debian. Mainly as you can start with a minimal install and swap out DE’s until you find one that works best for you.

deadbeef79000,

That’s a horrible thing to say about women.

deadbeef79000,

What we wanted: Wayland.

What we needed: X12, X13…

deadbeef79000,

So much of that is PDP-11 baggage or derived from it.

Or more generally Very Small Disk baggage.

deadbeef79000,

That’s kind of what I was trying to imply.

We needed a new X with some of the archaic crap removed. I.e. no one needs X primitives anymore, everything is its own raster now (or whatever it’s called).

Evolving X would have given us incremental improvements over time… Eventually resulting in something like Wayland.

deadbeef79000,

X12 it’s got 15% less X11!

deadbeef79000,

Dropping those charges doesn’t mean the CIA won’t execute a special operation.

Though, perhaps not, as if they were the case, I’d probably have happened already.

deadbeef79000,

You speak as if revenge itself isn’t it’s own benefit.

deadbeef79000,

Janitor goes on leave for a week: entire building stops functioning.

non-Euclidean filesystem

I noticed that I only had 5 GiB of free space left today. After quickly deleting some cached files, I tried to figure out what was causing this, but a lot was missing. Every tool gives a different amount of remaining storage space. System Monitor says I’m using 892.2 GiB/2.8 TiB (I don’t even have 2.8 TiB of storage...

deadbeef79000,

I tend to use du -hxd1 / rather than -hs so that it stays on one filesystem (usually I’m looking for usage of only one file system) and descends one directory.

deadbeef79000,

Pretty much any distribution would meet that criteria.

Is just pick one and get going. If you run into problems, you’ll now have more specific selection criteria and can make a more discerning choice of another distribution.

Given your initial “maybe Debian” just grab Debian stable and see where it takes you.

deadbeef79000,

Won’t someone think of the shareholder value that was lost by complying with these onerous earthquake building regulations?

Trump and GOP use a fake panic about a "trans" Easter to justify their Christian nationalism (www.salon.com)

It’s easy to roll one’s eyes as the self-serving dramatics of MAGA voters using false claims of victimhood as cover for their ugly views. But, as the threatening language in Greene’s tweet shows, this “woe is us” act is deeply dangerous. The hyperbolic conspiracy theories and dehumanizing language serve to convince...

deadbeef79000,

The median American then?

deadbeef79000,

System’s working as designed.

deadbeef79000,

It’s mainly about how many transactions can be packed into those seconds.

That number, once upon a time, was less than one: one transaction took more than one second to process.

Now, with modern computational power, that number is millions, hundreds of millions even.

TL;DR: faster computers faster transactions.

deadbeef79000,

The video game was “Altered Beast”.

That’s if you’re refering to this en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altered_Beast

deadbeef79000,

The what hole?

deadbeef79000,

When some crappy vendors (ahem, Zoom) bother to get screen sharing working on Wayland.

Until then I’m stuck on xorg at work, but it’s Wayland all the way at home… not by explicit choice, just the distro default.

deadbeef79000,

That would require them to read their holy book.

deadbeef79000,

Yes! But -u is for undefined variables. It won’t stop a defined variable with an empty value. E.g foo=“”.

Also ? and :? have the advantage of telling you right then and there where the variable use is that it must be defined or not empty… having to trek back to (likely) the top of the script to check is easily forgotten.

deadbeef79000,

Protects you from accidentally changing the variable within the block too!

deadbeef79000,

Yep! I always do this too.

TL;DR: e aborts the whole script on a non-zero error. u aborts when using an undefined variable. -o pipefail aborts a piped compound command when one of the piped commands fail.

Any other way lies madness. Or erasing the whole filesystem apparently!
