acockworkorange, to news in Biden says Netanyahu must change, Israel losing global support

You have a weird way of getting to it, seeing as you compared the two right out of the door.

acockworkorange, to linux in What are you most excited when it comes to linux in 2024?

Snapshots changed my life. And I don’t exactly demand ultra reliability for my home PC. Thanks for the feedback!

acockworkorange, to linux in What are you most excited when it comes to linux in 2024?

What about bcachefs excites you? Like, what does it offer that ext4, Btrfs and zfs don’t?

acockworkorange, to linuxmemes in Every god damn time!

OpenSUSE does this as default, which is laudable. Mint will only use Btrfs if you manually tell it to, it just handles it gracefully once you do choose to use it.

I generally do not connect to web sites from my own machine, aside from a few sites I have some special relationship with. I usually fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program (see git.savannah.gnu.org/git/womb/hacks.git) that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me. Then I look at them using a web browser, unless it is easy to see the text in the HTML page directly. I usually try lynx first, then a graphical browser if the page needs it.

Fuck. What the hell.

I occasionally also browse unrelated sites using IceCat via Tor. Except for rare cases, I do not identify myself to them. I think that plus Tor plus LibreJS is enough to prevent my browsing from being associated with me. IceCat blocks tracking tags and most fingerprinting methods.

Ironically I think this makes his the most unique fingerprint in the whole internet.

You can tell that that’s what his mom told him so he’d be interested in eating his lunch and I love it.

The response at the end of the article is funny though. “No you” but in DA.

Mashed potatoes anyone?

Torches and pitchforks! Get it cheap here! Torches and pitchforks!

acockworkorange, to risa in When is season 4 anyway?

Don’t be like that. We’re all discussing in good faith here.

Before that happens, Adira spends considerable time with the ghost boyfriend on how would that be received and goes through considerable angst processing it. Before even that it’s shown them in considerable anguish to come out to their boyfriend even.

Of that arc, the one thing well executed was the 90 seconds you pointed.

So yeah, most of it shouldn’t happen in a welcoming environment in the 25th century. Her adoptive parents had no issue being a gay couple adopting a teenager, in which universe would that teenager ever feel the need to hide their sexuality and insecurities from them? Why the anguish?

It’s pretty much established since TNG and DS9 that pansexuality is mainstream. In The Outcast, Riker was involved with a non binary alien; the episode wasn’t about the reactions (the crew was absolutely nonchalant about it), with Worf supporting Riker trying to rescue the alien that broke their social customs. You can still send a message with a good in universe justification.

There’s no in universe justification for Adira. She doesn’t come from a backwards culture, has crazy conservative parents, there’s no atavic crewmate around, no aliens taking offense… It’s a non conflict. It’s bad writing.

To be clear, it’s a message that needs to be on TV. But it’s a damn shame they did it so poorly when it could easily have been set up to actually create a conflict that would then be resolved. You need in universe bigots to show bigotry being overcomed.

At least Picard learned to play the flute.

acockworkorange, to news in Romanian SMR Nuclear Plant Project with NuScale Technology Moves Forward Despite US Setback

Damn.

acockworkorange, to news in Romanian SMR Nuclear Plant Project with NuScale Technology Moves Forward Despite US Setback

Considering the US project failed because it couldn’t find enough buyers, I’m glad the Romanian moves forward.

acockworkorange, to archaeology in Archaeologists in Turkey Have Unearthed Human and Animal Sculptures That Are the Earliest Examples of Prehistoric Art | Artnet News

What a sensationalist title. The lion-man of Germany is a much older sculpture, and if memory serves there are cave paintings that are older still.

This is a sensational find that enriches our understanding of a region and period of history that is still not well known. There’s no need to lie.

acockworkorange, to news in In Singapore, a certificate to own a car now costs $106,000

Too late. It’s now my head cannon that Singapore means Sin City now.
