Contrary to the meme, it's probably very quiet, if they keep the RPMs low and the fans are arranged correctly

Want to exchange information in json? plaintext? binary data? Sockets can do it.

This is exactly why you need something like dbus. If you just have a socket, you know nothing about how the data is structured, what the communication protocol is, etc. dbus defines all this.

Trump did massive damage to journalistic integrity as a whole

Not nearly as much damage as access journalism (e.g. Maggie Haberman style palace intrigue stories) did. The press and politicians being buddy-buddy is a disaster for journalistic integrity.

You ever hear the words “fake news” before he used it?

I did. The first time I heard it was on the PBS NewsHour, second half of 2016. Trump didn't really start using the term until 2017/late 2016, IIRC. They were using the term to describe news sites that felt like "official" news sites but were not journalistic, using social media to spread and get ad revenue.

To be clear, I'm not saying that Trump's press strategy was good. Overall it was harmful; but the adversarial nature specifically was good.

Inflation is back near normal, but prices are not, and wages have not shifted to match those prices (partially due to the government fighting "wage inflation"). People are still worse off than they used to be. I don't think this is Biden's fault, but here we are anyway.

I think this is one of the things Trump got right: there should be a more adversarial relationship between politicians and the press. Of course Trump was adversarial because he wanted to do awful things, and also he wanted to set up a state media apparatus, but still.

Let's see... the upvote arrow is off, so I turn it on, and just walk away!

Your supporters are practically salivating over the prospect [of a civil war].

I think there's a lot of talk, but not a lot of will. To be clear, I think there's still a real threat, but it's probably more in escalating stochastic terrorism rather than a full-out armed conflict.

Weird assumption that the fedsoc SCOTUS will have any consistency in their rulings other than what's best for rich people

very old

Obviously it's subjective but Debian doesn't use ancient software. For instance Bookworm has Python 3.11; the current Python is 3.12. Some software updates slowly enough that you end up with the latest version. I seem to recall zsh being up to date. But yeah, make sure you're using the correct version when looking up docs.

We need a total and complete shutdown of prisons until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on

I wouldn't count on it.

I'd be surprised to find out there was one filesystem that consistently did better than others in gaming performance. ext4 is a fine choice, though.

Things haven't regressed; the mask has just come off.

Yes, famously men have had very few demands of women throughout history.

DSL

What is this? I'm going to be lazy and not search for it because DSL already has multiple meanings which overlap with Linux

Yeah, if it's unstable, they're probably holding it wrong

They do pay out tips, because they got sued over not

The tip should be rendered never, people should be paid a living wage.

Hello. I am the neighborhood tailor, as I am sure you recognize.

_{Yes, it's a different franchise, but it's what it made me think of.}

The polls currently have Trump winning against Biden.
