I'm surprised to hear /home is non standard.

They're torturing and interrogating them. That's literally the story here.

Languages with null in them at all anymore just irk me. It's 2023. Why are we still giving ourselves footguns.

If you want trump to lose, just keep your mouth shut, or better yet get in the bandwagon and be excited about Biden. It doesn't have to be real. You can fake it.

Holding your nose while you vote is a recipe for a trump win though.

And on top of that, the tech they're being asked to use is literally a decade old next year.

The Chinese government can track any app in their country. Their laws just give them acces to the data if they want it (the same as the usa basically). They don't give a shit about WeChat.

LoL. There's a Google tech talk where the guys doing the autonomous driving DARPA challenge talk about how slow and awful military contractors are. Then they say "we just took off the shelf gps systems (you know, the ones the military contractors spent decades designing and building) and built something that works! Look how much faster the private sector is!"

That talk is 15 years old now.

I got told we were like this once. Mle and my wife would literally tiptoe around after, carefully close doors, live in a constant state of worry, and still the next morning the guy below would say "you're literally shaking paintings off the walls!" My wife was physically afraid to run into him after a bit.

At the time I thought the apartment must have paper thin walls that apparently I couldn't hear through, but now I think he was just an ass. Living off self righteous anger.

I mean, ipads are pretty bloated with shitty version of things on launch too. Basically my first week with them is always trying apples apps and then realizing they're awful and downloading something else.

What you described is literally the Democratic party platform https://democrats.org/where-we-stand/party-platform/healing-the-soul-of-america/

I bet you're closer in opinion than you think. I think most Dems would settle for universal background checks and no super weapons type rules. The same basic rules we have for other dangerous stuff. You need to buy insurance and you're responsible if someone uses your gun in a crime. Stuff to encourage careful ownership.

I fucking hate the cold but I'm also lazy and hate wearing clothes. If it's just a bit I'll take the hit just to avoid putting (more) stuff on.

I think people's issue is that you (the west) is funding one side of it.

I'm pretty isolationist too though. Pull the funding to both sides. Let them figure it out themselves (Israel will probably not exist in the end of this scenario).

Netanyahu and his cohorts have explicitly said they believe they need to kill every last Palestinian. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2023/11/benjamin-netanyahu-amalek-israel-palestine-gaza-saul-samuel-old-testament/

Wait, are you seriously saying "I guess I'll just hold my nose and vote for Biden" isn't a catchy campaign slogan?

I'm for making the court big. Make it inconsequential when one joins or leaves. Make it 100 and they can help 10x as many people a year.

Do Linux settings translate to osx... At all? I'm struggling to think of any I use across both. Maybe bash.rc?

Osx config is mostly running arcane commands to set registry settings.

I'll never understand people who struggle with windows and like osx. They seem basically identical to me at this point.

I mean, you could just use Firefox or safari, or anything not chromium really. Yeah Moz will take money from search revenue, but they've proven over and over google doesn't tell them what to do.

Heck, chrome exists because google tried to firce Moz to ship a shitty bookmarks implementation, and Mozilla said no years ago. It's literally just an example of a "I'm going to take my ball and go home" tantrum.

I think they probably learned this number from the iOS tracking opt in. It's not as large as people like to think. People don't like being tracked, but they'll trade it for free stuff pretty easily.

It seems like putting a lawyer in jail would just be a recipe for delaying a trial though. They can't be expected to provide defense if they're locked up. Or do they just require you to find new counsel?
