The guy with the big fucking rock is strong, that rock has a lot of inertia, by he gets one shot then he’s strong and unarmed

The guy with the scissors will win, if he survives the first shot with the rock.

Yeah, same problem on the other side.

Ad, I have this thing, it’s available, don’t ask, if it’s listed, it’s available

Hey, I want this, I’ll pay cash, when are you available.

2 days later: still interested

Until you roll back and shits broken now because the new kernel was a requirement on other shit that was in the update.

For my own shit, I’m running nixos, so when I roll back, every app that just got updated rolls back, perfect recovery, but that doesn’t work for most.

As far as the pop-os that broke the other day, I’m more than capable of depsolving and fixing it, but it’s not ideal.

It’s not like you don’t have European-owned datacenters. Migrate that shit!

Yeaaahhhh, i’m a disagree with this one a little.

It goes like that until the update changes the kernel version and breaks a video driver. I mean, it’s a lot rarer than it used to be, but our arcade box at work just got hit with it.

Windows usual fail mode (which is often) is update won’t process so it wastes an hour of your time a bunch of times and either justs starts working or requires you to dig into it and either run it manually, or clear up some cache.

Windows not booting into a gui on an update is pretty rare.

No wonder how hard it would be to bridge mesh core in MQTT in my area.

Here’s your oil can. We could of course make them oil themselves, but we rather enjoy watching you work yourselves to death for minimum wage.

The same government officials paying to use it are probably the people mainly invested in it.

Yeah, the number is bullshit. I left before AI was truly reasonable and it was flush with corporate fanboys and vote manipulation, paid or not. Also it certainly wasn’t 15% of the subscribers, depending on the sub it might have been more or less of the active participants. Popular subs about products, hobbies, or software seemed to have a LOT of this product is just really great where for the most part noone is going to push their affinity for one corporate product over another.

We’re already offered some protection by up/down votes not mattering. Botting yourself doesn’t buy you much visibility. The real concern for me would be Mods or channel owners on the take. Just like they can’t buy themself views, we rely on mods to bury bullshit and not bury non-advertiser-friendly content. Of course, if a channel goes rogue, we just abandon it on that node and move to another. The pure nature of federation makes us less attractive to advertisers, They’re not going to want to chase dozens of smaller channels all over the place for eyeballs. Also, we’re nearly too small to care about while there are targets as big as Bluesky and Reddit around.

So, nothing has changed in 6 years?

Sooo, Digg started to monetize, Manipulate the feeds for money, allowing Reddit to swoop in and steal their lunch. Doubled down as the platform emptied, now 15 years later, they say Trust me, Bro?

The problem I have is that the GUI tools are very specific to distros, dms, and releases. It’s a problem that arises from having so many choices.

CLI tools work long after they’re deprecated and very often cross distros.

Something as simple as getting your IP address can be in diferent areas, the settings->network panel isn’t even a safe bet. A lot of distros are now putting a network or wifi icon in your tray, but it doesn’t always look the same, can be hidden, isn’t in the same place.

Ifconfig and ip work on everything and can be installed on almost, if not every, platform.

If you do a web search for how to find your local network address in linux using the GUI, you’re given a choice of a bunch of different places to look and the reccomendations don’t line up word-for-word with what the current menus in KDE->settings look like. What’s more interesting is when I go into kde-settings and do manages to find Wi-Fi and internet instead of network connections, it doesn’t give me my ip, it’s all just blank.

Ahh damn, yeah, the only pines we get here are hand-planted… good info though, thank you!

We are already seeing the Axis form, time to make the new Allies kids!

A tree would be neat, how the heck do you get solar to it though?

I need do some experiments with my drone and see if I can get LOS to somewhere useful. The development I’m in has a hill in the way and no trees. I don’t really want to try to sneak it on my neighbor’s roof.

There’s a 5-story apt building, not to far, but i’m not sure it has RLOS to the school and it has no service areas on top, all tin roofing.

There’s a 3-story hotel that has the right kind of roof layout, but it’s way out of RLOS from me.

I haven’t watched it yet. Kinda want to, I have a low bar for video enjoyment. Maybe I’ll throw it on my phone and wait for a no-network time, but i’ll make sure i have subs for it :)

So, I have rolling hills, but every ideal spot has a cell phone mast, I’m thinking they’d notice. There are some power pylons, I think they’d notice as well. Either one of those would probably be a felony.

None of the buildings are tall enough, it’s US suburbia. I have a drone, i could probably airdrop a small solar node on a roof.

There’s a really large water tower a couple miles away, not LOS, but it would be amazing to help the cause. But again, I don’t think that would go over well and i’m not fond enough of heights to install it.

You all are fighting on who’s riding the biggest turd boat into the sea and you’re both making find points :)

The US is putting Nazi slogans on the government speech podiums and trying to annex countries that are too weak to put up a fight.

The EU is trying to remove private communication.

I think the US is a about 11:59 on the doomsday clock, the EU is about 10:45

We’re both mostly fucked, the EU has more time to turn around, but that’s not likely either.

Anything that’s not Windows.

My favorite is NixOS, but for the love of GOD do NOT try to install and use it. It’s like one of those puzzles you buy in a store, it makes you happy every time you solve it, but it pisses you off every time it breaks and you can’t figure out how to fit it.
