US, mid thirties, and I not only drive a manual transmission, I go out of my way to insist upon it. For example, I own a truck and an SUV made in the '90s because it’s difficult to find newer ones without an automatic.

instead of bending over for unreasonable shitheads in your party.

Why do you think he’d be inclined to do anything other than bend over for himself?

Not for long if Lennart has anything to say about it, I’m sure.

While DRM is the bane of everybody there are cases where trust and integrity is important and it’s an intriguing look into how hard it is to manage.

Nah, when the user wants to ensure trust and integrity in his own system, it works just fine. The problem comes when the user who needs to be able to access the data is simultaneously the adversary who needs to be stopped from accessing the data.

In other words, it’s one of those situations where the fact that it’s hard to manage is a gigantic clue that it’s wrongheaded to try to do so in the first place.

According to the Open Source Initiative (the folks who control whether things can be officially certified as “open source”), it basically is the same thing as Free Software. In fact, their definition was copied and pasted from the Debian Free Software guidelines.

Edit: wait… return ! 0 ; wtf

I mean, returning non-zero exit status on error is just good practice. It even managed to evaluate to the same numerical value as EXIT_FAILURE when I tested it on my machine (gcc 11.4.0 linux x86-64), although I’m not sure if that’s always the case or if it’s undefined behavior.

This cursed code is quite well-written.

Yes, as are n and i. Do they not deserve ‘fleekness?’

I’ve been surprised that hasn’t happened already since even before Jan 6.

I have a similar issue (also Firefox on [K]ubuntu 22.04) every time I open a link on a logged-in site in a new tab, but in my case merely refreshing the page is enough to get me logged back in.

I assume is most likely the fault of the fairly aggressive mix of extensions I’m running rather than Firefox itself, but I haven’t actually tried to troubleshoot it yet.

Pro tip: the arguments to main() don’t have to be named argc and argv.

Also, you forgot to #define an alias for atoi, and number, n, and i could’ve been named something more on fleek.

That’s the thing that annoys me most about Duolingo: if they’re going to show you ads, the least they could do is show you ones in the language you’re trying to learn instead of your native one.

I don’t care what the excuses are; they aren’t valid.

Considering that this is new capacity, not total capacity, it’s a fucking absurd outrage that it’s anything less than 100.0%.

Every percentage point less than that represents us continuing to make the problem even worse even though we goddamn well know better!

Trump is a truer conservative than any Republican before him.

The error with Hitler wasn’t sending him to prison, it was letting him out again after only a few months.

Because the Republicans currently have the support of something like 20% more of the population than the NAZIs did when they seized power.

Remember, unlike folks who believe in democracy, tyrants don’t need a majority to win.

This is an extremely dangerous time for liberty in the US, and complacent attitudes like yours are only increasing the danger.

ITT: folks who think Linux is too complicated or whatever, but are perfectly willing to jump through endless hoops to work around some of Windows’ deliberate hostility.

The Stockholm syndrome is real.

I’m just as pissed off about that as the next guy, but I stand by my recommendation despite it.

Can confirm. I’m using Kubuntu because the Debian installer didn’t detect my hardware correctly and I couldn’t be bothered to figure out why. Aside from snaps, I don’t care.
