At this point I vote we forcibly remove EVERYBODY from the entirety of Israel and Palestine. If they can’t share it nicely, nobody should get to have it.

Copilot can’t even suggest a single Ansible or Terraform task without suggesting invalid/unsupported options. I can’t imagine how bad it is at doing anything actually complex with an actual programming language.
I have an email address and shell account on a SCO UNIX system that I’ve had since 1994.
I too once held to that ideal, but after typing almost exclusively on Model M keyboards for 40+hrs a week (Unix Sysadmin + gamer ) for 30+yrs I started to feel some strain in my fingers and hands.
About a year ago I switched to the SS Apex Pro with adjustable magnetic switches and I’ve been pretty happy with it so far. Yeah the software is kind of stupid but the actuation points can be adjusted and saved into several different profiles from the keyboard without the software, so I’ve been pretty happy with it so far.
Reminds me of a lyric in a song by Ren:
Swallow all your morals, they’re a poor man’s quality
XFS on my server VMs and my laptops and desktops.
ZFS on my file server. I’d use it on my laptops and desktops too (and have done when I was using Xubuntu) but I’ve switched toFedora which doesn’t come with a way to easily install with ZFS and I don’t feel like jumping through hoops to get it done. And I can’t stand btrfs. I don’t know what it is about it, but I just don’t like it.
When someone else has the hiccups, cup your hands together (like you’re about to pour water in them), hold them in front of them and excitedly tell them repeatedly (in a loud-ish, hurried voice like you’re about to miss out on the chance of a lifetime):
" Quick! Hiccup in my hands! Hurry up! Do it! Hiccup in my hands!"
Gotta do it quickly and unexpectedly enough to surprise them. They’ll either be so surprised that they forget the hiccup, or they will actually try to do it but be so focused on it that they won’t be able to.
It’s got a pretty high success rate for when I’ve tried it.
Since Trump is obviously willing to do just about anything to avoid paying for his crimes, I wonder if there comes a point where it makes sense for Biden or Harris to just offer him a pardon (knowing it only covers federal crimes) if he’ll just drop out of the race.
Is it stupid and sad? Yes, yes it is. But I’d rather Trump get pardoned for some of his crimes than somehow get elected president again. I’d say that’s a small price to pay.
Almost every job I’ve had in the past 30 years ‘required’ a degree but I never had any problem getting hired without any degree.
Trying to, but every time we do the right loses their damned minds.
I love how people like you take “It’s about damned time we have a woman (or black, circa 2008) president after centuries of not treating them equally” and somehow interpret that as “We’re trying to keep the white male down”.
I’m an old fogey who grew up reading physical books and newspapers but I absolutely need dark mode on backlit displays. I despise light mode.
Exactly, the blame here is entirely on Crowdstrike. they could just as easily have made similar mistake in an update for the Linux agent that would crash the system and bring down half the planet.
I will say, the problem MIGHT have been easier to fix or work around on the Linux systems.
Both are true. And they want the data privatized so only they can profit from it.
(And for the record, it’s sad that voters are holding Biden to a much higher standard than Trump. But here we are.)
Except that’s been the whole point of this exercise from day one!
The voters on the right have proven that they have NO standards that a candidate needs to live up to, while the voters on the left are the ones who are screaming “we need to have high standards for the people who are going to run the country”
Until recently, while the left would have preferred an even better candidate, Biden at least just barely fell above the seemingly minimum bar, especially when compared against Trump. But now Biden seems to have fallen right to the cusp of where the voters who still have standards are wondering if he’s fallen below them, and if there’s might be a better option, both from the standpoint of meeting their standards, and the standpoint of actually being able to win against Trump, who MUST lose for our nation to avoid disaster.
So I’ve been in situations where I was stopped at a red light, and emergency vehicles were coming and I was waved by a policeman to cross the intersection against the red light to clear the way.
So what, is a self driving car going to just sit there and keep the intersection blocked?
Yup, pretty much.
"The avalanche had already begun. It is too late for the pebbles to vote. "
Upon re-reading, it looks like there is two paths, but both require two steps?
The first part, proposing an amendment:
An amendment may be proposed by a two-thirds vote of both Houses of Congress, OR, if two-thirds of the States request one, by a convention called for that purpose.
Then the second part, ratifying the amendment:
The amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of the State legislatures, OR three-fourths of conventions called in each State for ratification.
Just because our previous civil war involved a relatively simple geographical separation, doesn’t mean it’s necessary for a civil war.
The only thing you need is two (or more) sides with opposing beliefs about how the country should run and who should run it, and that said beliefs are strong enough that people are willing to use violence to ensure that their side wins.
Geography has nothing to do with it.
I’ve always been happiest with xfce4-terminal, though I’m using Konsole currently until XFCE fully supports Wayland.
Way back when, I was more than happy with rxvt.
