Edit: is it accessible without knowing much Japanese?

It is, if you look a few things up, but there's also a readily available translated "backup copy" floating around.

And iirc the next fedora release will finally unify everything under /usr/bin.

On my current Fedora 40 install /bin is already a symlink to /usr/bin

The main difference from the film being that the novel isn't a satire--Heinlein was being sincere.

Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit

RIP Kenny G

That's actually kinda neat

I don't mean to be a buzzkill, but you'll probably have more success if you grow your potatoes in a field instead of the woods.

It's a good thing we have you around to let us know what all Palestinians think

The Speaker of the House is basically in charge of proceedings in the House of Representatives (the "lower" house of the legislature). No business can get done in the House until one is elected by the representatives. This is the first time in history that a sitting Speaker has been removed from the position in the middle of the term. This is a particularly awkward time since the government will run out of funding in 45 days if Congress does not pass a budget.

This is a result of a growing split between the ultra-far-right and the slightly-less-far-right factions within the Republican party.

If you own a home in the area any equity you have there has probably been made pretty worthless. It would make it pretty hard to move if you couldn't sell your home to afford another.

This particular trial is for the federal charges in DC.

I just wanted to address a single point from your comment:

Lemmy does not offer end-to-end encryption by default, which means that your messages could be intercepted by someone who is able to access your ISP's network

If the Lemmy server is using HTTPS, nobody at your ISP or anywhere else between you and the Lemmy server should be able to read your messages (they could see that you are exchanging data with a particular host, but not the contents).

Firefish has some cool features, but every time I opened it on my laptop the fans would immediately spin up to 100%. It's not exactly lightweight on the client side.

Slaves don't have private ownership of their capital (that is, their own labor)... because someone else does.

Most "free" workers, in terms of capital, own only their own labor.

Capitalists own the majority of the capital--land, equipment, intellectual property, etc.

A system where the workers own the capital (aka the means of production) is socialism.

With the exception of some stuff used for windows desktop development, .NET ("dotnet core" is just .NET now) is released under the MIT license. I'm not following how using .NET would be contributing to the "agenda of proprietary software".

The dotnet cli tools that come with the SDK run just fine cross platforms without Visual Studio. Your Linux distribution probably packages the SDK already, just install and use it.

If you want, you can use C# without .NET by using Unity, mono, or maybe Godot now I think?

I usually file that under "whataboutism"

Unfortunately a lot of the IPFS community seems to have been inundated with crypto nonsense. Which is a shame, since I think the basic idea is a good one.

You should check out IPFS which is pretty similar to what you're describing, at least for file storage (which can be used to host web content).

why American government has not gone after Proton like they did with Lavabit

Lavabit was based in the United States. Proton AG operates entirely in Switzerland. Ostensibly the US government would have to go through the Swiss court system to get anything out of Proton.
