That's why I said it'd be "disappointing". I wouldn't be happy about it. But I'm not sure I'd stop using it. After all, I'm not sure how it can itself be "pro-fascist". (If anything I&#x

I like dwm, and dwm being pro-fascist would be disappointing to me. At risk of putting myself out there, it shows how crazy things have gotten when neo-nazi sympathies are described as "just some political beliefs".

I think my biggest trigger is changing weather. I usually attribute this to changing light levels but I'm not sure. I spent about 30 years getting migraines before I realized that wearing sunglasses helps my light sensitivity. It seems

I don't have time to get into it every time that guy's name comes up. Basically he's best known for: * Jargon file * Parading himself around as "Mr open source" in the late 90s * Working on what by all accounts was

That looks like a decent article, but for the general case, ESR is not credible on name alone. Go look up criticism of that guy.

I fail to see TFA's concerns or take them very seriously. > time() unnecessarily takes a pointer argument to write to Minor cosmetic issue. > strftime() has to write to a string of a fixed length it can not dynamically allocate (

This isn't a politics forum, but abolishing USAID without congress was also insane. I don't care if you dislike something USAID does or did, it would require congress to legally abolish it. And a few other things, that's just

Scandinavians were pretty active on the British isles in prior centuries. It's a pretty influential source of English language. "Scandinavian import" sounds very modern, like you're buying a Volvo. The import would proba

I remember many years ago looking into mouse events over terminal and in that time you could only handle clicks, you couldn't track cursor position so dragging would be impossible. So I was curious to hear about someone actually making

If you think of how much hardware is capable to run it but they're artificially blocking, it's also rather morally irresponsible from the perspective of e-waste.

The recording I saw was Trump saying we need to accept pain. He's asked frequently why his actions make very little sense and he typically responds incoherently.

I have been close to multiple people who made similar paranoid allegations while psychotic. It is sometimes hard for people to understand the allegations are false or part of an illness. This can include judges and mental health professiona

Obama's first one was basically the same - 1° F warmer. https://www.weather.gov/lwx/events_Inauguration 1985 was a full 20°F colder. I think it is gullible to take this explanation at face value.

When I look at Argentina I still see boom-bust cycles that subside. The most prominent crashes I can remember are in the late 90s/early 2000s and the current one.

by asveikau 2y ago
I feel like the overall trend in global elections of the last few years is to blame global problems on local politicians. It's correct that Argentina's fiscal situation has long been difficult. But if it improves, is that on Milei

I don't know if they have inflation under control if, like TFA says, the locals tell him they drive to Chile to buy tires for less than half the price.

I think they're pointing out the hypocrisy of wanting to crack down on drugs while doing this. I see so many Trump adjacent folks demanding we lock up drug dealers, deport them, whatever. But they want to let this one go.

I got into 3d printing a few years ago and noticed the same, bambu made me nervous for exactly this. But the fanboyism and shilling in the 3d printing community is intense. If you mentioned these misgivings you'd get flamed. If you bou

OCR is very bad. As an example look at subtitle rips for DVD and Blu-ray. The discs store them as images of rendered computer text. A popular format for rippers is SRT, where it will be stored as utf-8 and rendered by the player. So when yo

Suddenly I remember circa ie4 or ie5 that had the "active desktop" feature that made even well spec'd machines grind. Now we run electron apps which are a pretty similar idea.

It's easy to forget how popular flash was in that decade. A lot of us found it annoying on desktops too. Not to mention Linux, where we'd deal with binary blobs that were pretty unstable, not because we liked it but because you ne

2009 and earlier: Windows Mobile was based on WinCE. The UI was garbage but the innards were pretty functional, and there was desktop-like multitasking. Unpopular opinion: they should have just done a UI refresh of that thing and moved it t

I think this is actually a misread of long term trends. Not sure when it will be, but there will be backlash to the reset. It reminds me like when crime rose in 2020 and 2021. It had been falling for something like 25 years. Then it was

You failed the moment you said objective. Any such system needs to acknowledge right off the bat that these assessments are subjective, subject to human error and re-enforcing bias etc. Otherwise you're just high on your own supply.

Performance reviews are bullshit. Being a "low performer" at Meta might mean you are not a suck-up, or that you have a sense of ethics.

Twitter is already, and increasingly so, an echo chamber of the type of people who want to stay on Twitter. From that vantage point it is the conscious decision to stay on the network during an exodus that creates an echo chamber. Something

Version 1.0 of Packard bell navigator in that video reminds me of the Macintosh "at ease" software I used to see in schools. Totally off topic, I'm reminded that a high school friend gave me an old Packard bell machine for fr

Yeah that's true. I think cheapbytes might have also been cost competitive with CD-Rs which were not super cheap in the beginning. I believe I got my first cd burner, an internal ide unit, in 1998.
