  • The best time to plant a time-sinking tree is 100 years ago. The second best time is today.

    • Trump Privately Pressuring GOP Senators To ‘Kill’ Border Deal To Deny Biden A Win

    Jump

  • I think this is a half truth given events in Texas. They don't want a functional government unless they control it and it represents their interests. They being the few party elites.

    • The Pokémon Company Announces It Will ‘Investigate’ Palworld IP And Assets

  • Do I need to play it now or never? I have a feeling this FOMO is driving some of their current engagement.

    • An airline passenger could face a $120,000 bill after fighter jets were scrambled when he joked about blowing up the plane

    Jump

  • Also what's the goal of scrambling jets when the threat is a passenger inside said jet? Are they gonna ask the pilot to pipe the radio to the PA and say "you better not blow up that plane because we're in charge and we said so?" Do they have a sniper on the wing ready to take out just one guy meanwhile depressurizing the whole fuselage, potentially explosively? Maybe Top Gun Tom Cruise can hit the guy with a burst of the 20mm? Seems like there's no point whatsoever. Best case they can say "yep it blew up" or "nope it didn't blow up."

    • Jon Stewart Returns to ‘Daily Show’ as Monday Host, Executive Producer

    Jump

  • I think Jon would be great as president. Definitely better than our current options. But if he was done with the Daily Show (and even if he never left) I wouldn't be surprised at all if he didn't want the actual job of being president.

    • Is that your boyfriend?

  • 225mg? I lift that much caffeine every morning.

    • Can anyone here get Gboard to gesture type "Lemmy"?

    Jump

  • Go to lemmyverse.net and load up your subscriptions with more active communities, and I'll bet you will barely notice that reddit is gone aside from less/slower (but better IMO) content and lower upvote counts.

  • I had to use the environment to destroy the environment. It nearly killed me.

    • WDYM your terminal isn't a test suite?

    Jump

  • That's one thing I like about zsh, or my config at least, because I use i3 and therefore tend to open lots of shells. History is mostly local until I hit return twice (two empty prompts) at which point I can get history from other sessions. It's stuck more global at that point though aside from future history.

    • WDYM your terminal isn't a test suite?

    Jump

  • Fortunately I have my hourly backups! 😅

    • WDYM your terminal isn't a test suite?

    Jump

  • I did try it for a bit. IIRC it slowed me down more than I cared for. Maybe worth trying again, though.

    • WDYM your terminal isn't a test suite?

    Jump

  • I legitimately back up my history file. Mostly because it likes to truncate itself randomly (though this may have been fixed in zsh, or my config, because it's been a while). Just a systemd timer that triggers a shell script to copy it by date and rotate anything older than 100 copies.

    Edit: WHY DID I SAY ANYTHING? After like 3 months of no problems, my history truncated itself to 3 entries a few minutes ago. I've only ever seen a few days of loss before that lol.

    • Cock check

  • Yeah you're covered with the second one It's a ❤️

    • Haier, the air conditioner maker, takes down open source third-party Home Assistant integration

    Jump

  • They probably want to pull a Chamberlain and sell a bunch of crappy buggy, inconsistent, error-prone addon services for $60/yr after you've already purchased the product.

    But yeah, lesson mostly learned. Don't support companies who only offer cloud-dependent services because they will definitely turn on the customer when they reach the natural ceiling of people buying the product and start looking for extra ways to squeeze their customers.

    • Police chief fired after twice asking captain’s wife for nude photos on Snapchat

    Jump

  • Me too. It's important to remember that thumbs are critical for tool usage and having thumbs separate humans from most animals so being called a thumb is sort of a compliment.

  • IP assignment is extremely common, but there are almost always exceptions that you still own the IP if it's your own time, your own equipment, and not directly related to what you do for your employer.
