Yeah, as a French kid I was blissfully unaware of who Donald Trump was, the cameo flew over my head and I found this scene pretty weird.

Thanks for the heads up! What cable do you use under linux?

During the holidays I saw lots of teenagers (and a couple adults) with stranger things, casa de papel, squid games and Wednesday merch.

For marketing? He was a "popular Polish voice actor" apparently.

Yes they have every right to take up arms and fight a revolution against Israel. Doesn't make the killing of civilians morally justifiable.

If it does 1001 different things, naming it is the least of your problems.

Ever noticed how those notifications include the message content and the sender? Google has access to this information, despite the encryption.

Not necessarily. I work on a messaging app, and we only use firebase to "wake up" the app. Initially the notification doesn't display anything meaningful, but the app very quickly connects to the server (tells the app who it should connect with) and then the peer (to finally get the actual content). The notification is updated once we have the content. But it typically goes so fast that you only ever see the final version of the notification.

I lived in Paris when they attacked the Bataclan and several other places. We almost went to a restaurant that got shot up but decided on another one at the last minute. When the owner heard about the attacks he made us leave, which infuriated my GF who was scared out of her mind, but I figured the assholes were long gone and police were everywhere by that time so I reassured her and we calmly walked back home.

But when I got home and heard about the Bataclan attack, I broke down like a fucking baby. I love live music, it's like a major reason to live for me, and imagining these people having a blast, unwinding after a stressful week, and then the absolute horror that broke loose was too much for me.

Yep that worked, thanks a lot!

Linux is the kernel, useless without actual programs to run on it. In general the minimal set of programs to make a Linux system actually useful (cd, ls, cat, ...) are provided by the coreutils package, a GNU project.

RMS, the founder of GNU, was pissed that people were using Linux + his software and simply calling it Linux, so he insisted that the proper generic name for "Linux" distributions was actually "GNU/Linux" (i.e. GNU utilities + Linux kernel).

OP's joke is that we name stuff without specifying their components or needed tools all the time, so we shouldn't bother doing it for Linux.

I think he receives the bills to sign/veto in batches.

The show is about a Rupert Murdock-type multi-billionaire and his children, who have always lived in absolute luxury. 5M is nothing for them, for example one of them asks his father for financial help to the tune of $100M.

Yeah, even if it worked perfectly it would only be as smart as the training data.

"why not Jerusalem?"

That wasn't the allies, zionism predates the holocaust by decades, it's the literal promised land from their stupid fucking religion.

Reminds me of this quote from Succession:

You can’t do anything with five, Greg. Five’s a nightmare. Can’t retire, not worth it to work. Oh yes, five will drive you un poco loco. Poorest rich person in America. The world’s tallest dwarf.

Nah it's far more stupid than that. They want to ban some (most?) VPN apps from the iOS and Android stores. You would still be able to sign up for any VPN from your browser, and manually set it up on your phone.

That's the current proposal anyway, soon they'll understand how moronic it is and either double down and try to "fix" if or quietly drop it.

If you go far enough, everything is.

No, SVG are text files, it's XML. You can write an SVG file representing a square using only a text editor relatively easily.

Kodi supports DLNA, a media library sharing/casting standard.

Yep, waiting for the next sale to finally grab it.

Did you get a special offer or something? The cheapest plan is $9.98/month on their website.
