  • RFK Jr. Touted as 'Unfit' After Rant About Lack of Autism in 'Older People': 'He Cannot Be This Stupid'

    Jump

  • It's so funny because you look at the guy and think he's fit. But I saw a video of him doing pushups and it's honestly so unimpressive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOGNznbJPY0 like all that gear to not be able to do 10 full straight pushups? Ok dude

  • Man, that overlap between "system has a GUI" and "less is not available" must be so small, or am I mistaken

  • Do programmers actually like bash?

    I'm not a programmer and I really don't like bash. Not because I don't like shell. In fact I do like fish as a shell. But bash always feels super weird. Unfortunately that's kind of the compatibility baseline on Linux (I don't think any relevant system needs strict sh compatibility). But better bash's weird arrays than none at all, plus process substitution is handy.

  • Most bash scripts are nasty, except for the most simple ones.

    In its defense, it's not a programming language.

  • A single domain helps so much, regardless of what you have planned. I basically use mine just as bookmarks. There's a dedicated subdomain for dynamic DNS. I make use of SRV records. Costs me like 6 bucks a year. You don't need huge ambitions or dreams for a domain name to make sense.

  • TIL About the Smoot-Hawley Act, Which was the 20% Across the Board Tariff That Deepened the Great Depression and Resulted in the Largest Senate Seat Loss in History

    Jump

  • Tariffs in my opinion can be a way to protect a given national industry against price dumping, especially when subsidies are involved, or if you have a specific capability in mind that you want to build nationally, but then I think subsidies are a better way, maybe in combination. But putting blanket tariffs against countries is in most cases not the best idea

  • The equivalent to Plex is Jellyfin I think, Plex can be used as a media server for Kodi.

  • ReactOS Can Now Boot With The Windows Audio Stack... But No Sound Due To Bugs

    Jump

  • Apart from security and upgrades, there might arise situations where you want to change aspects of the underlying operating system, and these changes might require changes to the source code.

    Also if you remember Stuxnet, those computers were also airgapped not connected to the internet.

  • ReactOS Can Now Boot With The Windows Audio Stack... But No Sound Due To Bugs

    Jump

  • One goal of ReactOS is to run Windows drivers, which Wine can't do. There are old specialized devices with Windows exclusive drivers still running in production requiring something like Windows XP or 2000. You can't replace these with Linux and Wine. It makes sense for Russia to sponsor it; they probably depend on these old installations in either their refineries or somewhere in their nuclear program.

    Fuck Russia but I wouldn't interpret too much into this

  • This is what happens when you don't use crypto as god intended: purchasing medication from India and subscriptions to indexers.

    I'm not saying this is what I bought Monero for.

    But this is what I bought Monero for.

  • The CD wasn't really suited to be played Mobile (though I did have a portable CD player). It should rather be compared to vinyl in that regard.

    I think tapes are great because no portable audio player ever came close to the Walkman regarding its cultural impact. The fact that anyone could record tapes opened up a lot of creative options.

    For properly mastered music to be enjoyed at home on a potentially expensive setup, the CD was very close to perfect.

  • Trump Decried Millions Spent ‘Making Mice Transgender.’ It Was Cancer and Asthma Research

  • This is so stupid, it'd be hard to make up. Confusing transgenic with transgender. Holy shit. But probably par for the course for the guy who has trouble differentiating mental asylums and political asylum
