What the article should have gone into in more detail is that this is utter nonsense, and that there are plenty of population groups across the world that are facing actual persecution, but of course that’s of no interest at all to the MAGA crowd.

Ed, the greatest WYGIWYG editor of all.

No, nobody else does. It’s just you.

The fuck is this question?

Coming soon: “Does anybody else hate it when they get a paper cut?”

Emacs is a pretty nice OS - all it’s lacking is a good text editor.

I guess I should take another look at evil-mode.

git config --global core.editor "ed"

if you don’t like using vim.

Yes, started using vi when I started using a Unix login at university. That was in about 1994 or so. When I started using Linux it was definitely vim.

I’ve tried using evil-mode and vim keybindings in other editors. I somehow keep coming back to vim, though.

Take your EV in for its smug check

With the current fuel prices, every EV will pass its smug check :-D

Yeah, that tracks - I came back to Debian after a few years on Ubuntu, and even before I returned, I removed snap from my Ubuntu system.

Hail corporate

Water makes explosions worse.

I had put a bunch of dry ice into a Falcon tube (50 mL screw top plastic centrifuge tube) and suddenly realised that I wasn’t actually in the mood for a loud bang, so I chucked it into a perspex water bath. The bang was muted but the water spout hit the ceiling and the water bath failed, drenching my supervisor’s notes.

Dammit, I saw this post and thought “let me get that xkcd comic…” Oh well, one upvote for you :-)

Good points, thanks!

Oh shit, I never heard that it was bought by meta :-/

Such a great post! I should start recording on mapillary again - kind of like an open Streetview alternative.

I’ve recently migrated from ubuntu Noble to Debian Forky (testing) on my laptop, and I’m super happy with it. I install updates every time I shut down, and there’s almost always something to update, but everything’s humming along very nicely.

multiple times a month I’d say it just randomly charges to 100% regardless

That’s intentional on Pixel phones - from https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/7106961

To keep its battery capacity readings accurate, your Pixel needs to fully charge at every 10th cycle. This applies even if you have the “Limit to 80%” option turned on. To finish the process, leave your phone plugged in for at least 30 minutes after the screen shows 100%.

OK, to save you all a click: he’s saying that he’s using AI to triage tips, so that they can process all the tips that come in, and that way they’ve been able to stop two school shootings.

What dogshit journalism. “They claim they’ve stopped (a few) school shootings” gets shortened to “They’ve stopped school shootings”, so that you’ll think J Edgar Boozer is claiming to have stopped all school shootings, and click the article so that they get those sweet ad dollars.

Maybe someone can confirm how they know that those kids were definitely going to shoot up their schools and aren’t just suspected of having wanted to do it.

Yep, amazingly flexible. If Linus had only ever made git, he’d have gone down as one of the greats.

That’s the genius of git: it’s not tied to any website. Pull your repo from here and push it to there and you’re cooking.
