AVincentInSpace,

Systemd breaks its own standards. Oh, were you making a replacement for this component of systemd that does some things the systemd version doesn’t? Well the latest version of systemd just changed the Unix socket protocol that it uses to communicate with the rest of systemd from text based to binary. Sorry for the lack of warning.

AVincentInSpace,

What’s a sex class? How is it defined? Does it include age groups? How about hermaphrodites?

AVincentInSpace,

Yeah see the thing is she didn’t say anything like that. She just assumes everyone knows what a “sex class” is to avoid having to define it herself.

AVincentInSpace,

Show me where she says what those words mean.

AVincentInSpace, (edited )

“A woman is someone who belongs to the sex class that produces large gametes.” That’s all she said. No word on what a sex class entails, or whether someone who no longer produces large gametes, or who should produce them but can’t due to a genetic defect, continues to be in it.

You have one more reply before I report you for being a troll.

AVincentInSpace,

Lemmy is just Reddit with a tenth the userbase and political takes that are somehow even worse (now with 500% more bothsidesism!)

AVincentInSpace,

@TheCoolerMia is flying dangerously close to the sun

“I’m so leftist I’m voting for Trump” --some young voters unironucally

AVincentInSpace,

I want to believe this, I do, but that would mean that !libertyhub is filled with nothing but

AVincentInSpace,

That describes like half of Lemmy though

AVincentInSpace,

holy fucking bingle

AVincentInSpace,

Nintendo 3DS. Extremely hackable, not too shabby selection of games, and… I swear I must be the only person on Earth who likes the 3D feature, but I love the 3D feature

AVincentInSpace,

Isn’t like the entire point of Matrix that it’s end to end encrypted, thus rendering any data servers acquire useless?

You could make the metadata argument, but having one node aware of even most transactions is better than having one node aware of all of them.

AVincentInSpace,

Well, duh. It isn’t there to protect you. It’s there to protect the mortgage company.

AVincentInSpace,

This meme isn’t about who invented the technology though. Everyone with 0.25 of a brain knows business majors break out in hives when they get that close to actual work. This meme is about who founded the Tesla Motor Corporation, and who demanded credit for having done so despite having done nothing except show up with gobs of money once their business strategy was already proven.

AVincentInSpace,

This one is new to me. DDG isn’t helping much. What was the man’s name?

AVincentInSpace,

I kind of expected to see Starbucks here. Have they cleaned up their act?

AVincentInSpace,

that guy doesn’t look ike he did a very good job of being doc mitchell

AVincentInSpace,

so what i’m seeing here is that your youtube recommendations are borderline identical to mine

AVincentInSpace,

no results on either google maps or OpenStreetMap :(

AVincentInSpace,

omaps.app/022s-i2NSv

Much sad, OSM does not show the name

AVincentInSpace,

it seems like an oddly specific question but i feel like i can trust Bruce Campbell. He only ever plays extremely trustworthy characters

AVincentInSpace,

another commenter did a better job explaining it than i could

AVincentInSpace,

but which one, crazy Ena or sad Ena?

or both?

AVincentInSpace,

AVincentInSpace,

I’m a big fan of MPD since it runs in the background and can be remote controlled from other devices in the house. Also supports every format under the sun up to and including chiptunes. May or may not be useful to you though.

AVincentInSpace,

can’t relate, all of my English teachers have been male and they have almost without fail been insane

AVincentInSpace,

I’m talking about Touching Spirit Bear (a book that contains two chapters worth of graphic descriptions of a boy, having been mauled by a bear and barely staying alive, doing things like cramming a live mouse into his gullet to survive). I’m talking about The Jungle (a book my brain has blocked out most of which involves a lot of main character deaths, committing horrific sins just to survive and then not surviving anyway, and a general endless barrage of “so there’s this guy, right, and his life sucks. I mean, it sucks. His wife just died, he watched his coworker get chopped to bits, his boss is raping his sister and if he speaks up about it he’ll be fired and they’ll both starve, everybody has shunned him, oh his life might be looking up never mind he just got outed as a fraud, suffice it to say, his life SUCKS. Also communism is good.”) I’m talking about Fahrenheit 451. I’m talking about Lord of the Flies. I’m talking about books that make kids hate reading.

Why can’t we read Discworld instead?

AVincentInSpace,

My brain is having trouble with the idea that anyone could read any of the books I just listed and come away feeling anything othet than revulsion

AVincentInSpace, (edited )

And Terry Pratchett is boring? Reading Thud! and exploring racial tensions through the lens of British humor is not worth doing because it doesn’t give me the thrill of watching someone go out of the frying pan and into the fire, only to realize the “fire” was just a bigger frying pan which he has just come out of and is currently on a downward trajectory, over and over again, for 300-odd pages?

Even apart from that, you of course do you, but if I’m going to read a book for high school, boredom is WAY preferable to revulsion. I’d rather read a physics textbook word for word than be forced to continue reading every time someone dies.

Books like The Jungle are undoubtedly important from a journalistic standpoint, and having students read them and analyze them as such is important, but 1) I’d like to do that and not talk about what the main character is thinking and 2) I’d like some books that aren’t …that… thrown in for variety. If my parents didn’t thrust their Pratchett stash upon me at an early age I might’ve grown up thinking all Serious Grown-Up Literature was like that.

amy is 12 and sonic is 15. Romeo and Juliet laws apply (or would if sonic wasn’t aroace)

AVincentInSpace,

aw come on, you can’t just post something like that and then not link the video

What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?

I’m working on a some materials for a class wherein I’ll be teaching some young, wide-eyed Windows nerds about Linux and we’re including a section we’re calling “foot guns”. Basically it’s ways you might shoot yourself in the foot while meddling with your newfound Linux powers....

AVincentInSpace,
  • Accidentally did a partial upgrade of Arch Linux in which I upgraded libssl but not systemd (which depended on it) (which refused to start becuase one of its dependencies had been upgraded to an incompatible version) (which caused the kernel to panic immediately on bootup because the init process died) (writing init=bash on the kernel command line gave me a shell but not network access) (i had to boot off a liveusb, chroot into my /, and run pacman -Syu from there in order to fix it)
  • Use Ubuntu, at all, for anything, ever
AVincentInSpace,

did you know you can use debian on the freebsd kernel

AVincentInSpace,

The Cyclops Athathi ÿivusaro Theÿise of course, can’t you read

AVincentInSpace,

Much like Git and GitHub in that regard.

(GitLab ftw.)

AVincentInSpace,

I love the idea of Fossil – tools like a wiki, issue tracker, automatic synchronization, all built in, plus the more resilient on-disk format, are features Git should’ve had from the get-go (no pun intended), and having everything, web server to CLI wrapped up in a single binary is an extremely cool way to do it.

I want to switch to it, I really do, but git commit --amend is just not something that I am prepared to live without

AVincentInSpace,

“Your total is $177.76”

“Hey that’s the year I was born”

AVincentInSpace,

for those unaware this is what i was referencing

AVincentInSpace,

tell that to like half of lemmy

AVincentInSpace,

i think it’s in character for someoneewho talks like this to not be able to spell ad hominem

AVincentInSpace,

I swear, if I had a penny for every Hardcore Leftist™ on lemmy who replied to one of my posts with a concern that was addressed in the second sentence of that post

AVincentInSpace,

we were all redditors once, at some point in our dark and storied pasts
