… “and the government doesn’t want them to”?
The last part kinda doesn’t make a lot of sense.

If the government doesn’t want the non-disabled to enjoy taking that for fun, how does that contribute to the problem? It could have made sense if it said “even though” instead of “and”, but the way it is, it’s just confusing.

Why the fuck is a Microsoft account so important to Windows that running it without one is considered a “loophole”?

Files and directories starting with a dot are hiden by default. You are aksing for this stuff if you manually unhide them.

There’s that “I never vote because politicians do not care about the issues of people like me anyway” attitude again.

(Hint: They don’t care because your kind won’t vote anyway.)

I’ve been using a shiftphone for the last ~5 years. I wonder where they would land on the ranking. They should als do fairly well.

Didn’t notch go full on alt-right some years ago, to the point where MS had to officially distance themselves from him?

On the one hand, I wasn’t trying to defend those warnings, just trying to offer some perspective.

On the other, I don’t just think, I know for a fact that a hell of a lot of adults out there are actively ignoring the dangers of alcohols.

Now please excuse me while I crack open a beer here.

While I half agree that having these warnings there for a glass of wine is annoying, the context here is that people will genuinely believe alcohol consumption to be just a harmless passtime, but nobody will think this about getting body parts cut off.

I have no idea how you get anti-immigration and anti-islam sentiments to “I need to kill some random people by driving into a christmas market”. Then again, right-wingers, who knows what’s going on in those heads…

S-ATA still is the only way to have more than two drives in the system.

IMHO, it was a mistake to make USB block storage use the same line of names also used for local hard disks. Sure, the block device drivers for USB mass storage internally hook into the SCSI subsystem to provide block level access, and that’s why the drives are called sd[something], but why should I as an end user have to care about that? A USB drive is very much not the same thing for me as a SCSI harddisk. A NVMe drive on the other hand, kinda sorta is, at least from a practical purpose point of view, yet NVMe drives get a completely different naming scheme.

That aside, suggest you use lsblk before dd.

This post made me skip a beat. For a moment there, I thought it meant Gwenview and Krdc are unmaintained and looking for new maintainers…

The last Windows I installed was Windows 10. I was trying to install onto a SATA SSD, while keeping my pre-existing Linux installation on the M.2 SSD intact. This took me an unreasonably long time and lots of failed attempts, and in the end, the only way I could find to make it work was to first physically remove the M.2, then install Windows, then add the M.2 back again. Which sucked a lot, because M.2s are really not optimized for easy or frequent installation and deinstallation.

The only label on the map that’s both on Latin and in old German.

Is OpenBSD seriously still using CVS for development?

And “nothing” does not fit, either.

I can see it going both ways. Talking about execution times, this would be an exaggeration, but then, these memes always are.

To be fair, speed is relative.

Sure, but the relevant speed up there is relative to the air around you. The missile will have a negative air speed at first, than accelerate to positive, briefly passing through 0 in between, which comes with weird consequences for lift and steering.

I’m a bit surprised that that was the only reason, though. Why would you expect you could get a passport from a country that insist not to be a citizen of?

Also, “I authenticated my birth certificate to a non hague-convention country”? I’m having a bit of trouble deciphering exactly what that means, but it kinda sounds to me like they just admitted to, you know, forging their birth certificate…

Anyone got a non-paywalled version?
