Our News Team @ 11 with host Snot Flickerman
Why the timid headline? Do we have to wait for Israel’s word on what happened?
The people who own/work at CBS certainly seem to think so, which says a lot about their “journalism.”
I don’t exactly see an exodus of journalists to more independent publications because they refuse to print such horseshit, so yes, the people who work there are part of the problem, too.
The Chief Fire Officer has just informed us that questions about Trump’s mental acuity continue to be a Five Alarm Fire after ten years of steady burning. Questions about Trump’s mental acuity are currently being compared to the Centralia, Pennsylvania Mine Fires.
“Reignites” my ass. These flames never went out. It’s been a steady news diet of someone who was already a mentally deficient fucking freak on a downward spiral into dementia.
It’s like Goofus is somehow a real fucking person and somehow also an ex-President and aspiring to be President again.
*hats off
I’ll take any informative rants people want to give. Thanks for yours.
Eh, I’d say the biggest learning curve is updates and how they’re generally password protected.
It’s actually not straightforward to a new Linux user how to bypass entering your password every time there are updates, and with how often Linux updates, this can create headaches and confusion for new users.
Especially with coming from Windows and being used to Microsoft arbitrarily forcing updates in the background. They are confused because Microsoft gave them zero control, while Linux actually gives them full control, and that can be confusing when you’re used to updates being forced on you in the background.
Linux expects you to be an adult and handle this shit, and does a lot less hand-holding for the casual user, and this can be overwhelming for some new users, because it’s a lot of extra personal responsibility they formerly didn’t have to think about. Some people just don’t have the extra mental energy to dedicate to it all.
The amount of things happening around Trump that are “literally textbook” examples of the worst things to do and what not to do is honestly staggering.
You’re already closer to using Linux by doing so. Lots of people are unaware that macOS continues to be Certified UNIX. Many of the command line tools function very similarly to their Linux counterparts.
I’m waiting for Microsoft to inevitably be forced to keep supporting 10 for free[1] longer than they planned, because 11 uptake just isn’t fast enough.
What happened with 7 will happen with 10, and they’ll end up supporting it for another year or two.
Microsoft is trying damn hard to not care about consumers, but the consumer market still matters, so I suspect angry customers will force their hand.
They already plan on charging money to keep supporting 10 past it’s end-of-life date, but I suspect this will have a lot of angry pushback that will result in at least a year or two of free updates. ↩︎
That NSA data center in Utah has been around since the Bush years. None of it was “new” when watch_dogs came out, it just wasn’t in the public consciousness. Most of the stuff was happening or being developed at the time.
I’m lazy and old so I’m doing it the least efficient way by just putting all updates into a daily cronjob (or doing updates on reboot). Much more modern ways to handling it than the crontab, but I too, am lazy.
It’s tricky to know how to feel about this when so much of what Musk’s companies produce amounts to vaporware.
It’s definitely an amazing technical achievement, and props to the engineers, but it definitely feels tainted when the man who finances the whole thing really shouldn’t be allowed to still have security clearance for a litany of painfully obvious reasons.
Beautifully done, honestly amazing, but with Musk it’s always in the back of my head “what aren’t we being told about this?”
Microsoft taught people to distrust updates because they break shit and don’t ask if you want them or not.
That leads a lot of people to being “scared” of updates, and Linux updates literally constantly (a good thing).
Further, Ubuntu as well as others have moved towards phased rollouts, to ensure new versions don’t break things. I constantly have updates say “These updates have been held back due to phasing” which is intended to save me from any trouble if the small number of users who they have phased the updates to start having issues. Easier to roll back and fix for a small number of users as opposed to the whole world.
Linux doesn’t just handle updates better, but they’ve continued to grow and change how they handle updates to make them better for end-users long-term.
Breaking Microsoft ingrained habits is hard for some people.
Corporate journalists:
Now go away before they taunt you a second time.
Starve the Beast. The conservatives use it for everything. Run on government not working, and then working to dismantle government to prove it.
Because actually, the biggest change came on May 9th, 2013…
If I recall my understanding correctly, it’s 1) because there hasn’t been consistently this much CO2 in the atmosphere since an era when the planet whose climate was fundamentally different and 2) that this is an escape velocity type thing, where it becomes harder and harder for us to get back under 400ppm CO2 in the atmosphere, because of how long it takes for CO2 to be absorbed. Thus, climate change will spin out of control far faster in this new, different environment.
So literally, yes, we were climate changing, but post 2013 things are indeed a lot more grim and the outlook less clear.
These people are fools who are making a conscious choice to ingest information that would challenge their worldview.
Let’s hope Ea-nāṣir’s code is better than his copper.
Like my life has been stolen from me. I am left with nothing.
Isn’t having cancer alone bad enough?
Uhhh. I still think that was US learning from Israel… Israel doing this shit ain’t new. Ask Rachel Corrie.
That has been the case since they chose Vance as a running mate. It was always clear they chose someone who isn’t going to be afraid to backstab Trump by 25th amendmenting his ass and taking over the Presidency to roll out Project 2025.
