Honestly, I’d like everyone to take back the road. Enforce lower speeds in streets AND in bike lanes. I don’t mind bikes in the streets and runners in bike lanes, so long as we limit speeding on both so they can safely coexist.

Some Lemmy, to get the hot takes and the latest Beaverton gossip.

But I get most of the info from my local newspaper (which does a beautiful job of curating a mix of local and international news). With time, I got exhausted of how everything on social media is just polarized headlines and opinion pieces. When I went back to the old media, things felt more manageable, less about grabbing my attention, somewhat boring ; pretty nice overall.

Local news orgs are struggling, so if you can afford subscribing they could use it. (while this is the season: many news subscriptions are tax-deductible; look it up)

This is fascinating! I couldn’t find much info on that and actually, what I found implies that there were some on Canadian bases not just in Canada, but around the world. That is, from if old letters from the Diefenbaker Center are representative of history.

Sadly, longer jail time is purely placebo. Plenty of studies show jail time has no incidence on crime rate. Sure, locking people for longer would delay recidivism, but we could do better than that.

It’s not about logic though. Longer jail time proponents do lean on the emotional argument of a few anecdotal cases or recidivism. This tend to make flashy headlines and stick with the population.

Interestingly, we’ve got the same glitch in the Gregorian calendar, where the year 0 doesn’t exist. So the 21st century started in 2001…

I don’t have confidence in any majority government. The elected party doing as they want and ignoring part of the electorate is a failure of democracy. Every motion should be evaluated on its merit, not through agreements of party support. In that sense, the likelihood of a majority Conservative after an election would be a bad thing.

The opinion of Linux desktop users (or any users really) do not count in the enterprise world. Somehow, if management bought in on the Crowdstrike rootkit bandwagon, you’ll see it on corporate hardware. It doesn’t matter if it’s a bad plan; it doesn’t matter if it gives an American company a backdoor to all you infrastructure; if the CISO decides everyone gets it, everyone get it.

The only thing you can really do as a lowly employee is keep any such device away from any personal info or network as if it’s infected by malware (which I would argue is exactly what it is).

You also can’t make star ships out of an sdcard

As a bytecode tinkerer, I’d say considering NOP to be global knowledge is a slippery slope.

just tag yourself as “early-access” and suddenly everyone will forgive your flaws.

As a developer, I really don’t like how Wayland has fractured the ecosystem. Competing immature protocols are still all over the place while the immobility of x11 has spoiled us for years. It’s getting better, but in the meantime I can still write an x11 app which will work mostly everywhere (thanks to xwayland), whereas a wayland app may not work everywhere (not on X11, and not on compositors which don’t implement the right combinations of protocols).

Hacker: That’s ok, we don’t want you to paste stuff in there, we just want you to send us your cookies. It’s not like you’re eating them anyway…

Consider IEEE754 arithmetic as monadic, simple!

Someone is confusing indices and cardinality.
