  • Depends on your jurisdiction. In Germany, the bar for murder is one of [1]:

    • an [inner] desire to kill
    • killing for sexual reasons
    • greed
    • “other despicable motivations”

    and one of:

    • cruelty
    • insidiousness
    • using “tools dangerous for public safety”
    • the motivation to conceal or enable another crime.

    In my layman’s understanding, pressing the button checks the ‘insidious’ box, since it is not at all expectable by the victim.

    As for the first set of conditions, it would probably be down to a court ruling if the person checked the ‘desire to kill’ box (as I understand it, they wouldn’t) or the ‘other despicable motivations’ box – is killing for no reason a despicable reason?

  • „signs of LLM writing” doesn’t mean that the whole thing was written by it.

  • That person doesn’t look like they intended this picture to circulate on the internet.

  • I don’t believe, at least in Germany, that it is possible for sugar to be made ‘locally’ at a reasonable price and with enough volume to be able to stock shelves. I don’t see why the situation should be different in (I assume) the US.

    You might try gift shops. They sometimes have ‘fancy’ versions of basic stuff to gift away. Looking at their products and producers might give you a hint at where to start researching.

    You could open Google maps (or any other commercial directory) and try to find shops in your town that you wouldn’t otherwise notice because they don’t advertise on channels you’d consume.

  • Now is the time for Ukraine to just ignore the US

    I’m not sure if Europe is willing enough to pick up the slack. Not sucking Don’s dick might mean having to concede to Russia.

  • Thanks. I couldn’t come up with a reason why the material would be relevant, so I thought there must be some context or other meaning of “vinyl fence” that I was missing.

  • There is too little information in that comment for me to be able to provide a meaningful response with the given context.

    Edit: I don’t know why the material matters, but I think it was a wire mesh with some sort of plastic in between.

  • I’m not sure if that applies in your jurisdiction and situation. But I’d take a picture. If your neighborhood does burn down, you have proof that it was him.

  • First time I got to use a fire extinguisher was when a neighbor a few houses down the street thought it was a good idea to burn moss in his driveway with a blowtorch after it hadn’t rained in weeks.

    That was the second time that neighbor’s neighbor’s hedge caught fire. He then replaced it with a fence.

  • It’s way too slow for what it does. IRC clients from 20 years ago were able to switch between chats instantly. The user status (online, offline, etc.) is so inaccurate it might as well be random.

  • Replacing Jupiter with an equally massive black hole shouldn’t make a difference. We’d only have one bright dot less in the night sky.

  • Well, late evening is the only time you’ll get to see your friends who have kids for an extended period of time.

  • Funny how that works isn’t it?

    Yeah, because they had the brains to figure out that a $5 taco isn’t worth going to court over.

  • It’s time for Judge Dredd then.

    Dunno, haven’t seen the movie.

  • Be the change yadda yadda

  • My initial guess was that sudo would eat up the echo’d foo as the password. Maybe sudo works differently when invoked via zsh?

  • Can’t reproduce.

     
        
    16:22:48:~/tmp$ echo foo | sudo tee newfile
    [sudo] Passwort für bleistift2:         
    foo
    
    16:23:02:~/tmp$ ls -l newfile
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4 Feb 23 16:22 newfile

  • Let me rephrase: It would be illegal for them to not honour their contract. Of course shitty companies may be shitty and reap lawsuits in return.

  • They can’t not honour the contract, can they? The only risk is their going bankrupt, which seems unlikely, given for how long they’ve existed already.
