AppImage is the no-nonsense universal package format.

Something like if (stupid_bool & 0x01) should work for those.

Realizing this investigation has been quietly going on for 4 years now makes me think of all the other ongoing investigations that the incoming Trump administration will kill, so they can focus on fabricating reasons to pursue their political enemies.

Weird to use an obscure source to report that Axios (a reasonably well known web presence) reported about this. A moment’s search turned up the original Axios article.

So, giving you what I called the choice dialog. That makes sense. Intent intercept wouldn’t help then, it would just give you one more basically irrelevant choice to do all the things (although it’s useful for developers).

Is it actually opening up the Sprinkler app for all those other purposes, or giving you a choice dialog? If it’s actually opening up the app, maybe installing Intent Intercept would at least make it a choice dialog, as it also tries to open everything (just to show information about the request; it’s a dev tool).

You’ve always got to show up for those school board elections now. Every. Single. Time.

I get the reference from the title-- that’s kind of clever. Too bad it’s paywalled; I guess I won’t get to read it.

Exactly. Because it’s not any better (“plenty horrible as it stands” as I put it in my original comment), the deceptive headline is not only unnecessary, but also taints the entire story with falsehood when it should not be so degraded.

Ok, the title comes from the linked article, but they aren’t banned from “mentioning anatomy”. They are banned from showing pictures of reproductive organs.

I don’t know why some people seem compelled to take a story that’s plenty horrible as it stands and give it a deceptive headline… seems like I’m seeing more of that recently. Are we really in a post-truth era?

You could have actually done the thing and shared the link instead of that annoying animated GIF that won’t stop. We get it, you’re so clever.

Here’s the link you couldn’t be arsed to provide: https://archive.ph/gPlLT

I really liked my Keebio FoldKB, which I wrote about here, although for me the main attraction was its similarity to a standard keyboard, which sounds like it isn’t a consideration for you. I currently have a Moonlander, and the last time I was going on a trip, I packed it up but said “f*ck it” because it was just too cumbersome, and just relied on my laptop’s keyboard. I’ve taken my FoldKB on trips before, though, and it was much easier to take along. I think I will continue to use it on trips.

John Oliver convinced me that Jill Stein is a dumbfuck back in 2016: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3O01EfM5fU

They aren’t marginalized or ‘left behind,’ though they feel excluded. They want to keep their white, Christian, male privilege.

That pretty much sums it up – do I even need to read the article?

We used to have these shit developers and I accepted a lot of bad code back then – if it actually worked – because otherwise “code review” is full-on training, which is an entire other job from the one I was hired to do.

The client ditched that contracting firm, and the devs I work with now are worth putting in time on code review with – but damn, we got hella shit code in our codebase to deal with now. Some of it got tossed, some of it … we live with.

Distro wars, like the old vi vs emacs wars (showing my age, I know) is not entirely serious. I never understood sportsball fandom, but it’s kind of like that. Debian is my home team; if you use Fedora, you’re from out-of-town.

Was Will ever a Trump supporter? Somehow I thought he was smarter than that, but I haven’t read an essay of his in decades.

Harris’s policies are misguided on a number of issues, but her main commitment is to strengthening the nuts and bolts of our democracy, so we will still have mechanisms available to challenge those policies and get them to change.

Not only is Trump a thousand times worse than Harris on every bad policy she has, his primary commitment is to destroying the mechanisms of democratic participation, so that there will be no way to hold the powerful to account.

I’ve read many thoughtful articles in TNR; I’m disappointed they would publish this one.

If your point is that Harris’s campaign team is full of people looking out for corporate interests, and that reflects poorly on her prospects for taking the side of the people when our interests oppose theirs … ok. It seems like you got a couple of snippets of evidence supporting that thesis: go, get your ducks in a row, and make a blog post with lots of links laying out the evidence as you see it, and we can consider it.

Making a headline that’s clearly deceptive when considered to be a description of the linked article (which is totally what it is; there is no wiggle room on this) is not going to do anything but annoy people and get them to vote down your post, even if the information considered on its own is something we’d want to know. Someone else will post it with a reasonable headline, and we’ll vote that one up.
