  • I mean, there still aren't that many Intrepid-class ships (or even California-class, for that matter), compared to the population to draw staff from. Comparing them unfavorably to the flagship is quibbling about slightly different positions that are all still way off the top end of the bell curve.

  • How rude; no need to insult the guy!

    (A million times more than zero is still zero. Bad photoshops are so much better than AI that the comparison defies being quantified!)

  • Which aspect of the situation to you intend for that quote to apply to? The companies/recruiters writing the listings, or the job-seekers reading them?

    Just for the record, the way I intended it was to say that I find it extremely difficult to find jobs because I have high ethical standards. Hell, I basically left my previous career as a traffic engineer in part because I didn't want to design sprawl, and jobs doing bike infrastructure are relatively few and far in between!

  • Some good news and some bad news.

  • Yet another reason to aggressively block ads and tracking.

  • And this is why you shouldn't use any browser based on Chromium, because where Google goes (implementing ever more invasive APIs) they all follow.

  • It is really hard to sort through job listings using ethics as your criteria.

  • That's the second-best approach. The best approach is for it to be copyleft instead of permissively-licensed to begin with.

  • Deliberately car-centric utopian modernism (the Garden Cities movement, Frank Lloyd Wright's Broadacre City, etc.) is certainly a factor, but I'd say it's as much, if not more, about racism. Once de-jure segregation was outlawed, making property expensive by using minimum lot sizes to force people to buy a lot of it at a time became the next-best way to keep (poorer, on average) black people out.

  • Who the Hell calls an immoral pleasure-seeker a "rake?"

  • Most of the time the optometrist is just bending the frame, which you can do yourself as long as you're not a gorilla about it.

  • From https://plasma-bigscreen.org/get/

    Plasma Bigscreen is not yet widely available.

    We are planning to join the Plasma release schedule starting with Plasma 6.7 (in June), which will make it possible for distributions to ship it in their repositories.

    In June, so almost!

  • I do know I personally think the root of our problems in the US are primarily the oligarchs

    Aren't oligarchs caused by corporate consolidation?

  • Nah, there are at least two problems, with the other big one being zoning. Everything from climate change to the housing crisis to poor health due to sedentary lifestyles is caused by it.

  • during a three-hour virtual meeting attended by about 7,000 of the co-operative’s 17,000 members

    Holy fuck! At my neighborhood meetings, we're lucky if we get more than about 50 out of 15K residents attending, and if you see more than 100 you know there's a real shitstorm on the agenda. Can y'all even fathom how pissed off people have to be for 7 thousand to show up to a three-hour meeting?!

  • "Fuckton of obsolete RAM" gang represent!

    (I've got a dual-Opteron home server with, I think, 256GB of DDR3.)

  • Fine. Register 1,000,000 companies and find some worthless postage-stamp lot for them to jointly own. Vote yourself in as mayor and then expel/imprison/destroy all the non-human "voters[sic]".

  • Last I heard, he had moved to military housing because people wrote mean things in chalk on the street in front of his house.
