  • People shouldn’t be able to buy summer homes and weekend retreats? Fuck that.

    • What are your favorite "gotta go in blind" games?

    Jump

  • Fucking great game, Inscryption was mentioned in here at least.

    • I saw the New Mac Mini on display

    Jump

  • The Mac Mini has been around for like a decade.

    • Syrian insurgents breach Aleppo after detonating two car bombs, monitoring group and reports say

  • cope and mald over another authoritarian regime toppled by domestic freedom fighters.

    • exFAT Driver With Linux 6.13 Reduces FAT Chain Traversal For Better Performance

    Jump

  • Really? I had flashbacks to Organic Chemistry -- my own personal Vietnam.

    • Mass arrests at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade as anti-Israel protesters block path

    Jump

  • Not particularly, it's just a large public event and so, disrupting it draws attention to the protest more than other less media-covered events would.

  • We don't generally measure post-tax (or "take-home") income in economics discussions. Gross income is the preferred measure because it allows for a more like:like comparison.

    • Gen Zers' definition of financial success includes joining the top 1% — and they're really confident about making it

    Jump

  • Millionaire isn’t 1%. Everyone with a 401(k) in their 60s is one. It’s younger if you count assets like houses.

    • It's a cruel system

    Jump

  • I mean, yeah. You ever ask an average software “engineer” to have a constructive conversation with someone a different department? It’s a nightmare.

  • I guess I’ll start screening my surgeons, attorneys, and accountants for how well they know how to use Zoom. This seems reasonable.

    • Cable companies and Trump’s FCC chair agree: Data caps are good for you

    Jump

  • Usenet and an on-site NAS agree with me, any data cap below 10 TB/mo. is a non-starter.

    • Zelensky says Ukraine will lose war if US cuts funding

    Jump

  • Love the Pax MAGA:

    1. Russia moves west until Putin doesn't need to drum up nationalist fervor back home;
    2. Israel gets all the weapons it needs to control every inch of the Mediterranean coast from the Suez to Turkey;
    3. All US troops out of South Korea and IDK probably an arms sale to the DPRK;
    4. The Seventh Fleet gets permanently reassigned to patrol the California coast as some immigration stunt and to make Pooh happy;
    5. Probably a tactical nuke dropped on Tehran.

    Seems awesome, right?

    • Report: DOJ wants to force Google Chrome sale, Android de-bundling

    Jump

  • Tump high-key fucking hates Google. I don't know that this goes away.

    • DOJ to ask judge to force Google to sell off Chrome, Bloomberg News reports

    Jump

  • An order to sell Chrome would be accompanied by an order (or consent decree) to not engage in web-engine and/or browser development.

    • What’s The Deal With The Latine Vote?

    Jump

  • You should look up a lot of things

    • What's Mastodon precious?

    Jump

  • If Mastodon wanted to be preferred, it should have been better. I moved to Mastodon over a year ago when the Twitter sale first happened. It was not great then and it’s gotten slightly worse since. I created a Bluesky account two days ago and it already offers exactly the experience I missed from Twitter before Elon.

    Would it be better if Mastodon was good and the federated FOSS option was superior? Sure, absolutely. But, that scenario isn’t even close to the case we are presented with.

    • What distro do you use and why?

    Jump

  • Arch on my desktop and laptop, Debian stable goes on everything else.

    • Special counsel Jack Smith and his team to resign before Trump takes office

    Jump

  • It won’t be. Because: fuck everything

  • Legal memoranda are not just an interoffice note. They are policy interpretations and internally-governing documents. The memorandum is from the Office of Legal Counsel which is an independent subdepartment — neither Garland or the President himself can overturn the policy.
