Anyone visiting the US at this point is certifiably insane, so the extra background checks make sense… ohh, you meant on the employees, I see.

You made the right decision. Yes the community is small, but it will grow, and besides small can be beautiful in its own way.

On a similar but unrelated note, Lemmy also displays the two-hyphens as an em-dash, but unlike the trailing slashes, it does not encode that into the comment, so on piefed you still see the two-hyphens in both comments.

Fun!

And posting from piefed, is the result the same?

https://piefed.ca/ – has a trailing slash https://piefed.ca/ – does not

They should be treated like the violent gangs they are, we have lots of experience dealing with motorcycle clubs and these groups are almost exactly the same except they connect sports and racism instead of motorcycles and racism.

That is kind of the UNIX philosophy at work and you’ll find that in a lot of open-source and self-hosted projects. The goal is to do one very specific thing really well in a small and streamlined package that integrates into other processes in a clear, defined and transparent way, not to be one of these super-convenient but bloated “it does everything and the kitchen sink” behemoths. It’s a different style of software development but it’s popular in the open source community for a lot of reasons, for example it’s a lot more maintainable by a single person or small team with limited time. You’ll find most of these large complex open source projects are organized and developed by companies (like Pangolin is), while the smaller UNIX-style projects are often written by individuals or very small teams volunteering their spare time. There are tradeoffs in either direction, but for self-hosting I think following the UNIX philosophy has a lot in common with a typical goal of self-hosting, reducing your dependence on for-profit companies that have a financial incentive to enshittify or otherwise try to squeeze money out of you.

That’s some damn fine work, sir.

Those were the web-techbros. Then came the crypto-techbros, now we have AI-techbros. Very different styles, as you can see.

Yes, that’s exactly who I voted for. This is what attitudes like yours have wrought. They lost my riding to the Conservatives. Because they’re a fucking disaster of a party right now. Don’t blame me. I didn’t fuck them up. Their lack of credibility comes largely from their own members, organization, and choices. Not from voters nor any other external factors, and if you’re blaming external factors you’re wasting your time. Yeah there are some, but this was mostly self-inflicted and utterly predictable (in fact it was predicted). I’m a Peter Kormos/Charlie Angus style NDP supporter, and there’s a reason the people with actual grassroots support always get sidelined and marginalized. The NDP is a sucky choice too. The people who would represent me very well are out there. Unfortunately, I’m not given an opportunity to vote for them.

First Past The Post is part of the problem. The NDP is another part of the problem.

George Carlin already expressed most of the thoughts I share about golf so I won’t bother expressing them here. Nice work.

I have been spending the last few decades bottling up my anger into a very, very large tank. Let me know when you need me, I’m hoping I’ll be able to supply enough for everyone.

I always knew Carney could potentially turn this way. I was expecting it. I still would have voted for him (if PM was a position we voted for and I was not voting strategically, which my riding lost anyway) but my vote for him was mostly a vote for a pro-Europe alignment, which I still think he’ll deliver, albeit probably not in the size or shape I was hoping for. But with really only two choices, it’s really hard to pretend we’re still able to call this actual democracy. We need electoral reform, and badly, and I’m not sure if we’ll really get another chance. We’re on a bad path and I don’t see any escape routes.

Yes please.

Do it the other way around then. All devices have youtube blocked by default UNLESS you have a reserved DHCP where it is allowed. I imagine if the former is possible, the latter should be possible too.

A fair government will regulate fairly. A corrupt government will regulate corruptly. Unfortunately it’s not within living memory of any Americans to have a non-corrupt government, so they hate all regulation since all regulation they are familiar with is corrupt pork barrel politics and industry protectionism. They are, of course, missing the target. The corruption is the problem, not the idea of regulation on its own.

The more innocent bystanders they kill as a consequence of the rampant corruption of their government, the happier they are because they think it means they’re killing the corruption. Meanwhile the corruption is having a great time looting the pockets of the dead and dying.

“Foam Creations” is the Canadian design company behind the first version of Crocs, which they made in Mexico and then sold to a bunch of investors who turned it into “Crocs”.

Does that help you at all? Probably not, but I thought it was interesting. I don’t think they still make them, although they do list “Medical Crocs Sandals” on their website, it’s just a portfolio of past work and they don’t suggest anywhere you can actually buy any of those products.

Today I think most Crocs are made in Vietnam, and Crocs the company that owns the design and IP is American (boo), so much for that. But they’re originally Canadian.

CPU thermal protection is pretty solid nowadays. I’m also old, and I too remember Athlons you could actually cook on, but in my general experience I’ve found they did learn from that and the thermal protections are not exactly a complex system. It’s basically math, as far as calculating how much power is going in to how quickly it can heat up to where the thermal sensor is placed, and they simply shut it down before it’s mathematically possible for the heat to reach a damaging level. It’s very hard now to actually destroy a CPU due to internal overheating, at least any of the ones I’ve had various “incidents” with. They aggressively throttle down and shut down and are perfectly fine once properly cooled.

Doesn’t look like anything to me. These violent delights will have violent ends, though.

That review hit the nail on the head: Why do all these people feel like they have to hide if they aren’t doing anything wrong?

They know what they’re doing is wrong. They are doing it anyway. They want you to believe they are “just following orders” or “just following the money” but they know what they’re doing. They are not your neighbor, your family, your coworker. Maybe they were once, but they’ve sold their soul and they are not that anymore.

These people are irredeemable. They are the enemy of every good person on the planet, and the sooner everyone accepts that, the sooner we can do what is necessary to stop them. Fascism comes in all shapes and sizes and colors, it wears all sorts of flags and clothes, but it’s still fascism down to the roots, it will kill or convert everything it touches into a tool for its own use, and it will use those tools to destroy everything good and kind in the world. Nevermind the woke mind-virus, this is the fascist mind-virus and it’s absolutely real, we’ve seen it before, and we’ve seen what it can do.

We must fight it again. They want us to feel helpless and hopeless, but we’re not. We won last time, and we will win again. But be prepared to fight hard, because we’ll need to.
