I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: There are better things to attack Trump for than how he looks, what physical conditions he has or how he smells.

At face value, those sorts of things have little effect on the ability to run a country well.

Even his hair is a better target because how he wears it would appear to show vanity, a quality that might actually interfere with stable management. That’s still a relatively big stretch without other evidence (of which there would appear to be plenty) though.

Attack his ideas, his intents, his politics. He makes this easy enough, right? Start there.

“LOL u smel” is something you expect in the playground. Something Trump himself might use, perhaps.

We have to be better than that.

Man goes away. Comes back with a plank of wood.

What happens next depends on how perverted the tree is.

(Would you like to be slapped around by a dismembered limb?)

For “academics” read “two guys we found in the cafeteria at a local university” unless otherwise specified.

If they’ve heard of Lemmy then it’s probably the Tankie connection that’s putting them off. If.

Guessing Kbin/Mbin is also either unheard of or tainted by association.

Or it could just be: “But why male models not Reddit?”

In other news, Fred Bloggs from Bournemouth has been on the phone to the White House telling Joe Biden to stop using toilet paper.

You joke, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s at the back of some people’s minds.

There’s also the whole association with Red Hat, and since Red Hat got bought, went corporate and murdered CentOS, Fedora is tainted somehow.

These things aren’t necessarily good reasons to not recommend Fedora, (for those see other comments) but they’re reasons nonetheless.

Other than the psychopath angle, there’s also those who are mentally ill and/or delusional and believe they’re terrible people when they’re not far off average, maybe even better.

Likewise, perfectionists, but maybe I’m repeating myself.

Got to hope that you’re not right for their sake.

Personally, I’m hoping for oblivion. Like it was for the billions of years before I was conceived, I assume, not that it’s possible to remember that.

Fun fact: The past tense of “wend” was once “went”, but that was co-opted for the past tense of “go”, and the past tense of wend is now “wended”.

“But what was the past tense of ‘go’ before that?”

Kind of hard to tell what it would be now, but “goed” does seem likely - like we might have said as toddlers - but irregular “yode” / “yoed” is closer to the old form and is also possible.

Evidence from other Germanic languages as well as “do” becoming “did” suggests a less likely “gid”, “gig”, “ging” or even “gang” (compare “sang”).

“Stop calling me Mark.”

If that’s the login or lock screen, Cinnamon won’t be handling them.

As for restarting Cinnamon, Alt+F2, r, Enter is the mild restart. There’s also a deeper restart accessible through Melange, Cinammon’s debugger.

By default, it’s bound to Meta+L and in its bottom right drop-down, there is an option to Restart Cinnamon.

What’s the difference? For one it definitely clears up zombie child processes that Cinnamon might be ignoring. (It might have also ironed out refresh rate issues and screen-tearing that the milder restart didn’t help with, but my setup has changed a bit since then.)

Always worth a try if the first one doesn’t seem to sort a problem out. Definitely worth it when the next two options are log out and back in, or reboot.

(Just be careful when clicking because the next menu option is “Crash Cinnamon”.)

He won’t stop until every last potential Hamas member (read “Palestinian”) is dead or out of Palestine.

He’s been pretty clear on this.

So I decided to go peek at the ragecomic subreddit. Yes, the very one-time ragecomic home-from-home outside of 4chan. Last post 17 days ago, using at least two “extinct” faces, got 600 upvotes.

It’s complaining that there are no good tools to make ragecomics any more. (I have not checked to see if that’s true.)

Y’know, I feel like they should stay there. Anything that’ll mess up an AI should stay on that site for as long as humanly possible. smilingthumbsuprageface.jaypeg

Maybe not in any legal sense, no. How people and even news media use it, there’s plenty of wiggle room.

e.g. allowing the ambiguity of “British home owner” to go unclarified, that is as “home owner who is British” as opposed to “owner of a home in Britain”, and any similarly loose interpretations that go along with or derive from that.

Ah, stealth tracking in the guise of usefulness. Wonderful!

Of all the comments to argue against the use of a mysterious “they”, I think you’ve picked the wrong one.

It’s pretty clear who the “they” is here: Conservative politicians in the pocket of corporations who would stand to lose from cheaper, cleaner energy sources.

I’d go one step further and erase “Conservative”, because it doesn’t matter your other politics if you’re receiving bribes lobbying money from big business. It does at least seem to be skewed more towards politicians in Conservative parties though.

Cygwin on Win7 back in the day was pretty close tbh.

JavaScript, like some other languages of the time, was designed with the Robustness Principle in mind. Arguably the wrong end of the Robustness Principle, but still.

That is, it was designed to accept anything that wasn’t a syntax error (if not a few other things besides) and not generate run-time errors unless absolutely necessary. The thinking was that the last thing the user of something written in JavaScript wants is for their browser to crash or lock up because something divided by zero or couldn’t find an object property.

Also it was originally written in about five minutes by one guy who hadn’t had enough sleep. (I may have misremembered this part, but I get the feeling I’m not too far off.)

Headline in three months: “Less work getting done than in five-day week.”

Government and management will blame lazy workers. Workers will blame government, management and burnout. Truth will be closer to the latter, but a few actually lazy employees and some innocent scapegoats will be fired to preserve the bottom line. Burnout will increase.

But at least the bosses got their bonus this month.

It’s been many, many years at this point. Which one was it that went 64-bit before Firefox proper did (Waterfox maybe)? Pretty sure I used that for a short while at the time, but memory is hazy now.

I occasionally toy with the idea of switching to SeaMonkey because I was a Mozilla Mail & News user for a long time way back when, but I switched to separate FF and Thunderbird when that was discontinued and never had the need to switch “back” to the all-in-one.

Better hope the IDF don’t find out there’s a humanitarian zone at Netanyahu’s house.
