We’re talking about those PPP loans that businesses and the wealthy abused, and not student loans that people are stuck with due to systemic causes… Right… Right…

“Keep it simple” says the project that decided it would be great to program in YAML…

I’ve tried using it to manage a few home servers and parameterizing anything was painful and boilerplate-ridden

Everybody gangsta with the “don’t be evil” clause until the authors turn out to be a nutjob who thinks trans people are blights against God and must be exterminated.

I doubt (or at least hope) that that’s not what they think, but hopefully that illustrates why the clause is dumb.

STOP doing manifest destiny

Nations were never supposed to span from coast to coast

Want to have more coastline anyway? We have a solution for that: it’s called a PENINSULA

God: I will fix everything

Also God: I can’t/ haven’t fixed evil because then there’d be no free will

Even if the software was perfect, virtually all desktop RAM isn’t ECC equipped, so you potentially have even the hardware corrupting the state and requiring restarting because of that.

That’s fair, but frankly, in my experience, the average American’s idea of communism is “evil bad oppression big gubmint dictatorship”. I was never taught in school about the theory behind communism or the practical government of the USSR (regardless of how close they may or may not have been), so I have little understanding into how these systems actually work and whether it’s actually beneficial for those under them. I’m trying to rectify that on my own time but there’s many people who don’t care enough to do so and just parrot the same thought terminating cliches like “human nature”.

Switching from Xitter to bluesky (or anything else) is much much much easier than emigrating.

Consistency doesn’t matter. It’s all just taking points to boost their narrative and pretend they’re right.

Isn’t that vegetarian, not vegan though?

Re blue sky, is anyone actually federating with it? I don’t know of any other instances besides the official one.

What is a proton? A miserable pile of quarks!

This has been my experience with cast iron. There’s so, so, so much conflicting information on them. Even in this thread.

I wish the Mythbusters would come back just to test via experimentation all these conflicting claims.

To put it into perspective, the fine was 0.8% of that net income.

A lot of complaints I’ve seen is that it’s bloated - it’s not only a system manager but also has a DNS relay, network manager, container manager, and so on.

That said, codifying service startup and managing them with cgroups is IMO MUCH better than init scripts that think running killall apache is a good way to stop a service.

And how is calling conservatives “weird” how you describe?

Compared to conservatives calling anything left of them “communist”, calling a party backing a felon president and a vice president that can’t even make small talk at a doughnut store “weird” is very fitting.

I use a keepass vault thrown in a syncthing directory but like literally any file sync will do. If you get conflicts, KeePassXC can merge them

Misinformation wants to be free

Anything with enough access to block malicious programs has enough access to block any other program by mistake.

Security modules like this usually get very invasive with the OS, to be able to monitor everything and so that malicious programs don’t have the ability to shut it off.

Low competition industries

Like most of them?
