What if space drugs are like catnip and it gets the aliens high but does nothing for humans?

Here's a excerpt from man chmod that can be summarized as "You probably want to mark the file you downloaded as executable. Run chmod +x FILENAME"

DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the GNU version of chmod. chmod changes the file mode bits of each given file according to mode, which can be either a symbolic representation of changes to make, or an octal number representing the bit pattern for the new mode bits.

The format of a symbolic mode is [ugoa...][[-+=][perms...]...], where perms is either zero or more letters from the set rwxXst, or a single letter from the set ugo. Multiple symbolic modes can be given, separated by commas.

A combination of the letters ugoa controls which users' access to the file will be changed: the user who owns it (u), other users in the file's group (g), other users not in the file's group (o), or all users (a). If none of these are given, the effect is as if (a) were given, but bits that are set in the umask are not affected.

The operator + causes the selected file mode bits to be added to the existing file mode bits of each file; - causes them to be removed; and = causes them to be added and causes unmentioned bits to be removed except that a directory's unmentioned set user and group ID bits are not affected.

The letters rwxXst select file mode bits for the affected users: read (r), write (w), execute (or search for directories) (x), execute/search only if the file is a directory or already has execute permission for some user (X), set user or group ID on execution (s), restricted deletion flag or sticky bit (t). Instead of one or more of these letters, you can specify exactly one of the letters ugo: the permissions granted to the user who owns the file (u), the permissions granted to other users who are members of the file's group (g), and the permissions granted to users that are in neither of the two preceding categories (o).

A numeric mode is from one to four octal digits (0-7), derived by adding up the bits with values 4, 2, and 1. Omitted digits are assumed to be leading zeros. The first digit selects the set user ID (4) and set group ID (2) and restricted deletion or sticky (1) attributes. The second digit selects permissions for the user who owns the file: read (4), write (2), and execute (1); the third selects permissions for other users in the file's group, with the same values; and the fourth for other users not in the file's group, with the same values.

chmod doesn't change the permissions of symbolic links; the chmod system call cannot change their permissions on most systems, and most systems ignore permissions of symbolic links. However, for each symbolic link listed on the command line, chmod changes the permissions of the pointed-to file. In contrast, chmod ignores symbolic links encountered during recursive directory traversals. Options that modify this behavior are described in the OPTIONS section.

Reminds me of the subreddit of simps for Kim Jung-Un's sister.

Poilievre figured out that you don't need to pass laws to be a successful politician. All you have to do is go viral on social media for hot takes and owning the libs.

They have rules (PDF) posted on their site. You're not allowed to be a registered member for another party. You also have to follow the rules of their constitution (PDF) which says you can be kicked out for not supporting the party.

So they're playing regular kids games at recess or they're murdering each other for money?

The Conservative Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford, is already doing that. I've heard his ads on the radio calling for Ontarioans to give him a majority government so he "can stand up to Trump". The guy spent his time as Premier standing up to nurses and bike lanes. This new stand up against Trump shtick is just more faux populism.

I've read this before and my favourite section is the one at the end about how to make an office run inefficiently and it just describes a normal office. Have lots of useless meetings. Work as slow as possible without getting fired. Gossip about your co-workers. Give poor training to new hires. Be irritable and hostile.

All the first comments saying they browse by new... 🤔

Unfortunately, Pierre Poilievre just said in an interview that he doesn't see anything wrong with Trump's executive order because there are only two genders.

Your son has seen so many ads for delivery services that he decided to start his own.

You should create a chess puzzle where the king is poisoned by his brother and ask your uncle and mother to solve it. Gauge their reactions to see if they show any signs of guilt.

When the Panzerschokolade starts to kick in.

Anti-Defamation League. They're a non-profit political group that state their mission is to combat anti-Semitism. They're mostly a pro-Isreal group.

Lemmy.world has a lot of users and more users means more downvotes. It also happens to have a lot of news and political communities which attracts a lot of strong opinions.

Personally, I find the only function of downvotes is to discourage contributing and discourse, and that seems antithetical to what this platform is supposed to be about.

It's one yellow tree dick, Michael. How much could it cost? $10?

Thanks for the link! Very interesting!

tl;dr sticks often use "potentiometers" to track position. They involve electrical contacts that wear out as the stick is moved around. Once they wear out enough, the stick will produce erroneous signals and needs to be replaced. Hall Effect sticks use magnets and track position by measuring changes in the magnetic field. There is no physical contact so the sticks last much longer.

Don't the buttons on the handle need to be pressed for the chain to move?

It's what we in the biz would refer to as a "grower", which is in contrast to a "shower".
