I’ve been running Fedora for a few weeks and if I update it every time there’s updates available, I’d be rebooting nearly daily, because it insists on rebooting for “system packages”, where debian and even Arch based distros did not require restarts for most things… I’m not even using an immutable version of Fedora

Pretty much. It’s basically “he had to cut <xyz> because [Biden/Obama/AOC spent all the money!!] or [Blue States took all the money!!]”

Only when it benefits them, however.

Violent rebellion rarely results in a government that those rebelling wished for, unless those rebelling wish for authoritarian government. Egalitarian governance is often born from long-term persistence to addressing the needs of the population and a general rejection of policies from the wealthy.

That being said, a population under an authoritarian regime often need to use violence to (attempt to) trigger the shift into a more egalitarian government. In France’s case it worked (for a while), but took several attempts to get there.

Creating lasting policy which truly works for the population requires that the population is healthy, fed, housed, and educated - if any of these are missed, then there is a significant risk of a right-wing shift.

True, but it’s not usually as coded as this or if it is, it’s a symbol that is common to all - more corporate logo than DaVinci code.

Fully agree, however, the press has done that before and he just shuts down the question with some remark about the reporter and if they press, he walks out. Aside from physical restraint, I don’t think we will see him submit to any real questioning.

This is a bad move. The more Russian citizens have access to outside information, the better chance they can learn what’s actually happening in Ukraine and the amount of damage the government is doing to their own country. The more Russians that have exposure to that information, it becomes more likely that the people will show their dissatisfaction. Without VPN, the people only have access to the internal propaganda.

yeah, 98 was trash. 98SE was good

WFH + satellite internet + solar panels = If you want to threaten violence, you’ll have to find me

GM also has tons of union employees which has some impact on the non-union portion (i.e. better benefits etc), so seeing first-hand what unions can do for you might make them more likely to support one even if their current working conditions are great.

If your company uses some sort of code checking tool on PRs, there may be a requirement that all functions have a docstring, even if it’s obvious what it’s doing. Leads to silly comments like this quite often

America’s Deadliest Home Shootouts

Does that come on before or after “Ow! My Balls!”?

In the states, they’ll just accuse the phone of committing a crime and take it anyways

So ‘the montage from the beginning of Idiocracy’ timeline? I mean, pretty sure we knew we were still 50+ years away from President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.

It can be argued that he was actually a great president in his time. He recognized a problem and made sure to find and enable the most qualified person to fix it, and actually implemented their solutions even if it pissed off the corpos

yeah, but it takes a fraction of the time to destroy than to build. They don’t need long-term, they can wreak havoc in one term

Which is hilarious since the main source of income for musicians ever since streaming took off is live shows and merch… albums are a vehicle to drive attendance at concerts, for which Swift is pretty good at packing stadiums full of people. Even if she loses 30% of her listeners, she’ll still sell out concerts and total revenue would likely be about the same because those seats will be taken up by other fans who would have otherwise missed out on the sold-out show.

If your job involves typing to any degree and you’re shit at it, your overall performance will suffer because typing will become a bottleneck to your productivity. If nothing else, typing fast means you can have more downtime in between tasks because you’re not spending all day hunt-and-pecking

The someone else’s eyes are your eyes a few months down the line when you have to fix something

bet they didn’t save anything and it’s the same chip just artificially limited

They have a comprehensive two-pronged approach, they start with thoughts and immediately follow up with prayers, but for the sake of efficiency, they don’t actually think or pray.
