  • The fact that you can’t run through Windows setup w/o internet and an online account is absolute bullshit

  • Picking Gentoo for that pic is a dirty trick. Gentoo users wanted it to be that way, on purpose.

  • Democracy had been dead since 19 BBY and everybody knew it.

  • What did you break recently? Is it fixable?

    Jump

  • I dropped and shattered one of my 'free' Mason jars that came with Classico pasta sauce. It's not fixable because, despite my complaints, Classico switched to lug-style jars and doesn't sell their sauce in the nice reusable ones anymore. I'd have to actually pay for real (empty) Mason jars if I wanted to replace it. : (

    Luckily, I still have plenty of extras, but still...

    Yes, I know the jars aren't really 'free' if I'm paying for the sauce.

    Yes, I know I ought to just make my own sauce instead of using store-bought.

    Yes, I know Classico jars are technically not as thick/strong as real canning jars from Ball etc. and shouldn't actually be used for canning.

    Yes, I know lug-style jars could be reused too; it's just that they aren't compatible with the universe of Mason-style canning jar attachments.

  • The text color wasn't a choice; it was just a consequence of putting the preexisting QGIS logo over the preexisting meme background.

    The meme maker should've layered a shadow or contrasting-color rectangle under it.

  • They're trying, but their gun just went "click" instead of "bang."

  • Flock CEO calls for ‘compromise’ as surveillance company faces growing backlash | TechCrunch

  • Okay, here's the compromise: disband your company and we'll put away the guillotines.

  • TIL that in 2022, the US Senate was split 50-50 between two parties. 50 senators represent 186 million americans. 50 senators represent 145 million americans.

  • TIL the Northern Territory doesn't have the same status as the other big divisions on the continent.

    The interior desert I understand being sparsely populated, and I've recently learned about the Nullarbor and why people don't live on the south central coast, but I still don't quite get why almost nobody lives on the tropical northern coast even though it's closest to high-population areas like Indonesia and has rivers and beaches and stuff.

  • I'm not blaming devs, I'm advocating for changing the system.

    The real question is, why is everyone shooting the messenger? Do y'all like abuse and enshittification?

  • I am someone who has worked professionally as both a civil engineer and a software "engineer." When I put scare quotes around the latter, I mean them.

    The difference in rigor, sense of responsibility for the public good, and especially power to push back against harmful ideas by management, is shocking.

    DRM, enshittification, dark patterns, Cambridge Analytica, sneaky "telemetry:" none of that shit would be allowed to exist because it would violate professional ethical standards, if software "engineering" were a real profession that had any!

  • This is why real engineers (as opposed to software "engineers") are licensed.

  • Aaron Swartz was prosecuted for scraping, while Meta does it without consequence

    Jump

  • Let's be clear about this: Aaron absolutely had authorized access.

  • Aaron Swartz was prosecuted for scraping, while Meta does it without consequence

    Jump

  • Because Swartz was merely a natural person, while Meta is an almighty corporation. Everybody knows only corporations deserve rights, duh!

  • Do it. Not joking.

  • Remote workers report the highest well-being in study of 7,700 employees: while those who worked entirely onsite reported the lowest.

  • I'm literally one of the mods of !fuckcars, which is to say, I am painfully aware of how much better Europe in general, and the Netherlands in particular, is at this stuff.

    The difference with Atlanta is that path is kinda the only one like that we have in the entire metro area. We have other trails in a network that's gradually becoming more connected, but that's the only part of it that's more-or-less fully built out with pedestrian-oriented surrounding architecture, which makes it far more popular than any of the others.

    Other trails look more like:

    Don't get me wrong: they're nice, in their own way. But they don't have nearly the appeal or ridership of the only trail with proper urbanism.

    Not my video and I don't know what day of the week it was filmed, but it's pretty representative of 'medium' weekday afternoon traffic (even though the video title calls it "heavy"). Like I said in my previous comment, weekends are worse.

    (I don't endorse trying to ride as aggressively as they're doing in the video, BTW.)

  • Democratic socialist Angie Nixon clinches surprise primary win in Florida US Senate race

    Jump

  • It's not even a "purple" thing. It's a "people are so desperate for change that they were willing to give even fascists a chance because the Democrats refused to offer anything but more of the same" thing. It is precisely because this candidate is not a liberal trying to triangulate a mythical "center" that doesn't exist, that she might actually have a chance.

  • If a liberal won, certainly. But a socialist has a chance.
