And, of course, if you want your children to have a peak male physique.

Do not forget that you are also the very entity that hands out the currency you hold your debt in.

It waw McGregor. And while the explosion was spectacular, it happened on the test stand, so not much damage was done actually.

Mbin. Compatible with both Lemmy and Mastodon. Con: Mbin is even more beta software than Lemmy is. Lots of missing QoL.

Lemmy requires you to use ^ before and ^after^ a word for this to ^work^.

    And here I am, emailing password protected zip files to people when the documents are not to be scanned by my mail provider.

    Disclosure: The author is a tab person insofar as he has any idea what he's doing.

    This post was updated at 6:33 pm Eastern to fix some line-break issues in the Torvalds blockquote. The irony was duly noted. A better link regarding the Tabs Vs. Spaces debate was also swapped in.

    I like this disclosure.

    I much prefer uMatrix over NoScript, it is way more intuitive. And even though uMatrix is no longer updated, it still works better than NoScript for me. My Firefox Android has gotten soft-locked by NoScript in regular intervals. Since they enabled uMatrix for Firefox Android again, I have had no such issues.

    So much data to infer from your music tastes. Listening to music about breakup? You had a breakup yourself. Listening to classical music? You're a top earner. Listening to Eminem? You like mom's spaghetti.

    You are underestimating, by a mile, the editorial effort that goes into fighting scam and spam, vandalism and lies. Wikipedia does have a support structure to do that, I doubt instance admins have the same kind of resources.

    Quacksalber ,

    Which also means that marxist.wiki/article/communism will be completely different from libertarian.wiki/article/communism. I think I will take Wikipedia's attempt at impartiability over a "wikipedia" destined to just devolve into islands of "alternative facts"

    Quacksalber ,

    Of course no single site is perfect. Editors may always have ulterior motives. That is what the editing history is for. But with a federated wiki, the only thing you'll get is multiple different versions that all present their oen little "truths" and at that point you can just go back and search the entire internet for blogs, just like the website you sent me is a blog.

    Quacksalber ,

    Are you of the opinion that people don't already use internet resources, libraries, interviews and other
    educational avenues to inform themselves? Many here seem to be needing an education on how to use Wikipedia responsively, they seem to think that one is unable to engage with a wikipedia article critically.
    I just checked the article for BP, as one of the blogs linked here claimed that over 44% of BP's wikipedia page was corporate speak. The 'controversies' section is one third to half the wikipedia page in length. As a jumping-off point for further study, it is perfectly adequate.

    Or there could be a delay of one minute before posts get federated, giving the user the option to quickly delete a comment or post.

    Quacksalber ,

    That is one thing Lemmy is not good at: Protecting its users legally. No admin can be expected to hire a lawyer to fight off those companies.

    The harddrive staying silent even though you were mashing keys like crazy was a sure way to tell that your PC had given up on life.

    For me it was installing games. The installer was still active, but the drive stayed silent? The installer was lying.

    Chat Control May Finally Be Dead: European Court Rules That Weakening Encryption Is Illegal (tuta.com)

    The EU Court ruled that “Backdoors may also be exploited by criminal networks and would seriously compromise the security of all users’ electronic communications. The Court takes note of the dangers of restricting encryption described by many experts in the field.” Any requirement to build in backdoors to encryption...

    I have said it before and I'll say it again: Politicians that push for legislation that has previously been ruled as unconstitutional should be charged for willfully trying to literally break the law.

    Quacksalber ,

    Then the constitution that would prohibit trans rights would need to be changed first. If politicians want to remove the constitutional right to privacy in order to allow spying on your own constituents, then go ahead and own the fact that you want to undermine the right to privacy. Don't hide behind "oh, this will totally not affect law-abiding citizens".

    Quacksalber ,

    Then that'l require more fighting. I however doubt that the constitution of most countries place huge blocks on giving people more freedom.

    As long as they are used defensively, weapons are needed. And having the latest and greatest weapons really helps. We can see this play out in Ukraine clear as day. If Ukraine had more weapons in the beginning, Russia hadn't invaded. If they had anyways, Ukraine would've been able to rebuff them with more force. Whenever the West does send weapons to Ukraine, they have an immediate and devastating effect on Russian troops. But because we are sending so little, the war bogs down into a WW1-style slugfest.
    Also, the ammunition given by the West allows Ukraine to do targetted strikes mostly. Russiaon the other hand is just sending wave attacks, accepting massive civilian casulties.

    I sympatize with folk that want to stay home, but I personally am functioning much better in an office environment with those talked-about chance encounters. I am interested to see where we will be in 10-20 years when it comes to working from home.

    Just meeting people in the hallway for a quick chat where we stand on different projects, what other teams are planning and so on, as well as personal stuff. Just your average office chats.

    Android's file structure is bad, yes. But does iOS even have a file structure? In my very limited time using iOS, I couldn't find anything resembling a file explorer.
