There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don’t.

I compile my own version of rm so that it doesn’t require the parameter.

Just in case I need to.

This is a reference I haven’t seen in YEARS.

Damn that takes me back.

It’s not the same. Granted it’s been years since I used the vim plugin but last time I tried it couldn’t even do standard find and replace.

The last time I was job searching, Comcast recruited me for a job. It was for way more than I was expecting but I told them that I was not going to work for them. They tried to push and ask me why and I should go through the interview process to see if I like it.

I was very frank with them. Their stance on net neutrality alone was enough for me to decline. The recruiter was surprisingly understanding and wished me luck.

WSL is very workable as a dev environment. I just wish it wasn’t so janky with networking.

Not OP but here is the link

I’m clutching my pearls as I type this.

Dustin (SmarterEveryDay) has weird energy and not in a good way. It comes off as a little creepy.

I know he and Diana met at some YouTube function and have done collaborations. Even though I know their friends IRL, it was still a bit creepy to me that he went to visit her while she had long COVID right after she got married.

I will say that she didn’t show any red flags for me until after she did the hydrogen cars series. I know creators have to get paid but still…it was like when Aubrey Plaza took Dairy Farmers money and did a commercial for milk.

Very off brand for both of them and lost a whole lot of respect when they did it.

PayPal is not a bank. Your funds are NOT FDIC insured, no matter what their docs say.

I remember when Physics Girl took Shell money to promote hydrogen powered cars.

It was very suspicious that they never talked about how the hydrogen was produced.

If you don’t know how to use man, just type in man man.

What?! How?! So I can learn to avoid it!

As a token of our appreciation for your volunteer work, we’re offering a Tor t-shirt to operators who run 5 or more WebTunnel bridges during this period [November 28, 2024, and will run until March 10, 2025]

Later:

Maintain your bridges running for at least 1 year.

Am I the only one confused by this wording?

That being said, assuming the latter, that’s a lot of bandwidth for a T-shirt.

I’d really like to see the major cloud providers donate a portion of their bandwidth to the cause…but that might just be wishful thinking on my part.

There is a difference between someone who is new and experiences something like their IDE deletes a file that was unexpected and asking a question about why it did that.

Then there are arrogant assholes who believe their shit doesn’t stink and that they couldn’t have done anything wrong and it was the IDE’s fault for not knowing what they wanted to do versus what they commanded it to do.

The OP is the latter.

If I’m reading this correctly, the haystack is the malicious compliance of providing all documents printed and in Korean. The needle is the document that snuck between other documents so that Valve attorneys wouldn’t find it.

Cloudflare sort of provides this now by being a MITM to secure your site between your server and the end user. But this requires you and your end user to trust Cloudflare.

And fwiw the ACME protocol is open so anyone can implement it. I believe even the ACME software that EFF sends out allows you to choose your server with some configuration.

I remember complaining on Amazon about the price of digital books when they were still relatively new. They wanted me to pay the same price for a digital book as a physical book. Back then, Amazon still had pretty decent customer service and wrote me back saying that the price for the book wasn’t for literal pages but for the work in making the book, etc. etc.

I told them I understood that but I don’t get the same rights with the digital book as I did with the physical, namely the right to sell the book.

Books, board games, etc. any physical media is technically a license, yes. BUT the copyright holder cannot bar you from doing whatever you want with the physical copy, within the limits of copyright law. Those same rights simply do not exist with your digital copies and, in fact, is often codified within your terms of service that you don’t fucking own anything and they can pull your license at any time.

DVD is next to impossible to revoke while Blu-ray is not. But you can’t revoke Blu-ray licenses to specific people but to regions. I haven’t heard of this happening but if it did, you could, in theory, still play your Blu-ray disks on players that aren’t connected to the internet to receive those updates. That said, I’m like 80% sure that Blu-ray keys have been leaked and you can rip them like DVDs today.

I wonder if mobile providers are still getting paid for long distance calls. Because if they are, they have a perverse incentive to keep scammers on the line.

Which, in this isolated case, I’m okay with.

If Alex Jones becomes press secretary, I’ll be convinced that this is all a simulation.
