  • Plus, depending on the names, it's tantamount to labeling their minority status on the ballot.

  • I'm not sure how it works in Ohio, but my state has a similar thing where a candidate will have their previous name listed underneath in parenthesis.

  • Yeah, this is an interesting case, the public has a legitimate interest to know the previous identity of a candidate, and the candidate has a legitimate interest in disassociating with their previous identity.

    Thankfully Americans are known to approach such cases with compassion and nuance, surely.

  • My point is why sanitizer the reality of the situation?

    That's a very strange interpretation, one which can be used against any change to any procedure for the purposes of reducing cruelty or barbarism. Do you really think gas chambers of all devices is to make people forget that someone is being executed?

    That also raises the question of, how much less sanitized should it be then? Like, I think most would agree that medieval shit is too much sadism, so where do you think the line should be drawn? Oubliette? The rack? Hanging? Most innovations in execution are for the purpose of reducing unnecessary suffering, both for the executee and witnesses, because if you can perform capital punishment without the torture then opting for the torture is a choice, and most people are generally favorable to the idea of "less suffering is good."

  • I have Lemuroid and it emulates a lot of systems, plays Gran Turismo pretty well with a controller

  • Systemic racism in the spy community

  • Radio fucking sucks, amigo. Literally the most homogeneous playlists ever unless you are close enough to a college radio station or a major city that can support anything other than top 40 or the same 100 classic rock songs.

  • I recently installed Windows Enterprise LTSC, successfully uninstalled Edge and OneDrive.

  • No, they were explaining why they don't hear about 1.65 mass shootings every day.

  • Unfortunately for Palestinians, many Israelis do care

  • Like are shell commands different between distros, or do I have to install something to have certain commands?

    Yes and no, kinda. So the most popular shell by far is Bash, which includes its own built in functions, and can also be extended with custom functions which certain distros may include in your bash config file by default. But generally, Bash and the GNU coreutils are standard, although some more "hip" distros will include other shell prompts such as zsh or fish by default, but even those tend to come with bash for script compatibility or easy switching for user preference. Some distros may include programs by default, but most of the time those are easily available in other distros through the package manager.

    How do I even know what commands I do have?

    compgen -c (or compgen -c | more for a scrollable list (press q to exit)) should do the trick, but that is a built-in bash command that may not be available on other shells, but generally you can find all the programs able to be called from shell inside the

    /bin

    /sbin

    /usr/bin

    and

    /usr/sbin

    directories. All these directories are added to a variable called $PATH, and when you type a command into your shell, these are the places that get searched for a matching program to run. You can use echo $PATH to see all the directories on your machine which are searched, or even add your own directory containing custom scripts or utilities so you can use them anywhere like an installed program.

  • Iced

    Jump
  • Jesus dude, how desperate are you for interaction?

  • And then there was the weekly Dracula thing popular on Tumblr a few years ago where they take a non serialized novel (as far as I know) and split it up based on the dates of the correspondence within, going a level further than serialization and delivering the story "real time" as the letters and newspapers were sent/published in the story.

  • Why would tankies defend this, Russia isn't communist.

  • exactly, I admit to sharing some of the "bro its so easy" attitude, but that should result in simple answers instead of berating, like a "no stupid questions" but for linux thing

  • Lots of highly addicting stuff is legal, I don't care if people do cocaine. Make it legal and safely accessible so drug addicts can participate in society and not have to fund cartels

  • There should be a "Linux hotline" community where people can post whatever is stopping them from switching and get solutions

  • Like all the people bitching about the reddit hivemind just because they have an opinion that isn't literally dominant.
