  Cesar Chavez, supposedly a saint of the left, is already being systematically removed from everything...with the left leading the charge. Why? It's what good people do! https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/20/us/fresno-cesar-chavez-street-rename.html

  @tsherrygeo@m.ai6yr.org The funniest explanation to those people I read was that Duncan died twice, setting his unsigned life counter to -1.

  @mhoye@cosocial.ca But if nobody's actually conceptualizing the effect as it was originally intended, and we all share a common misconception, then what this guy researched wasn't the "Dunning-Kruger" effect, but the Dunning-Kruger effect--which the article explains is something entirely different. So nothing is proved here, thank you very much. I can continue to use it as it was intended: an ad hominem. If people can't see through that then they almost certainly don&#39...

  @koh_kun@mastodon.social @MrLovenstein@mastodon.social Yeah, don't bother. Worry about yourselves. As my country was being taken over and ransacked by DOGE in the early days I was working with a client in Europe I'd had for years. One of the other members of the team I was working on, who lives there in EU, thought it was a good time to talk about how he agrees in principle with DOGE and anti-immigration. Y'all got the same fucking shit going on and in fact it's the same fuck...

  I really lucked out on the whole truck blowing the fuck up thing. It was scary as fuck when I was on the last couple hundred feet of beach and the tide was coming in and the thing was dead. Thought I'd be having to dig it out of the surf AND have it pulled out of there. But it started up again and made it home :) It's blown the fuck up, but it's at home. I have to deal with the fucking thing, but it's not an emergency. And it didn't do it for my niece's wedding. I...

  LOL. Someone on reddit: "Normally congress decides [when to start a war]." It's been over 75 years since that was "normal". We have 76 years since the start of Korea (which is still on) of "police actions" and "operational objectives" that are everything war is except in name and nobody has lifted a finger to change this in all that time. In fact, all the fingers have been decidedly pushing down on making this m...

  Does this guy really have any credibility left though? Does ANYONE give a shit what he thinks or says other than as much as it gets in the way of progress on anything that means anything? Good for you Chuck. I guess you finally see some of the writing on the wall that's written in bright, blazing gold plating. I mean. I bet he ends up voting for the fucking thing. He's Israel's man, not ours. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5785860-chuck-schumer-slams-save-act/

  I think my truck just blew up :p I was lucky. I was going to go ahead and drive down to the next town on the beach. Tide was coming in and kinda high but I'd make it fine. Not if the engine blows though. It started up again and crawled back. I'd not gotten far. Not sure WTF. Oil seems fine. Lot of rattling though and nothing seems caught in any belt or anything.

  But everyone's gone and the tour guide is the last one and he's retiring and the room is really starting to shake a lot now and end of the world coming so we gotta get going and make some money on this story while we still can.

  So it turns out the easier approach, rather than try to create a new generic systemd service and install it in a custom libreelec (or custom buildroot with kodi) I made a kodi service addon and then install it. This does the trick. I can get around the fact that the root system is immutable and don't have to rebuild it because it's set up to let the user add kodi addons in a storage partition. ...

  @lproven@social.vivaldi.net I don't know. The ip command has been the standard for at least a decade. Doesn't even come standard on many Linux based OS's. Might instead think of the ifconfig user, "This person learned this tool 20 years ago and then decided they were an expert and never adapted." I'm over 50 and have been using Linux based OS's for over 25 years. So yeah, still too young but I'll just run you over, old man because I don't give a fuck ab...

  @thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social The main worry I think is real regarding "betting your livelihood" is the off chance that something about the interaction with wine causes a bug that corrupts your files. This would be a disaster if you're not using proper backup, which points out the solution to the problem and it's something you should be doing anyway because NONE of that software has that level of support. It's literally disclaimed in the EULA. Other than that: can always...

  @thaodan@mastodon.social @fluffykittycat@furry.engineer @merill@infosec.exchange Why? The keys and such associated with the authenticator app should be in a TPM. Something the bootloader can't touch. It can't get the private key to then send it to whoever. The bootloader could attack in other ways and get the info you're accessing once logged in, but I don't think it can mess about or bypass the actual security mechanism. I think they're trying to sell bullshit here so t...
