the IDF hit the convoy three times with precision guided munitions over the span a couple of kilometers.

the claim was that they had seen someone who was alleged to be an armed terrorist enter the building hours before the convoy departed from it.

Shot: the plug in hybrids are still lower in tailpipe emissions in concrete terms than than the ice vehicles.

Chaser: the plug in hybrids have real world tailpipe emissions that are almost exactly what the ice vehicles are rated at

Morning after: this study doesn’t include the emissions from production of a new car

Of course they want the model collapse. Literally no American tech company has been about reliably, sustainably supplying a good or service or stewarding some public good.

They’re doing the vc -> juice stock -> gut resources cycle. Nobody cares about the model.

robots.txt isn't a basic social contract, it's a file intended to save web crawlers precious resources.

Make me an admin. I promise to be capricious and unjust!

There’s no provenance for this actually being from Brecht, but it was originally published in Terra Nossa, a leftist periodical used to communicate Brazilian socialist ideas to English speaking Americans.

So weather or not Brecht, a Marxist, said those words or not: they’re not about voting!

I can still see the ml one but if it’s here…

I don’t understand, is this supposed to say that grad is nazis? They’re very explicit about not allowing nazis and adjacent stuff.

I wrote a long-ish comment in another thread explaining why lots of people don’t like systemd.

Stuff like this is why people do like systemd.

The massive, un unixy and complex tools allow for very powerful and somewhat knowledge agnostic approaches to all sorts of problems.

One of the nicest things about systemds toolset is that it allows a person who relies on finding the problem and googling it to resolve thing much faster than their alternative, learn what’s going on and figure it out.

I don’t mean that as a pejorative, plenty of computer work is maintenance as opposed to engineering and there’s nothing wrong with that.

If you really want the short version:

Systemd was half baked literally when it came out and figuratively as an idea, so much so that there’s already a replacement for it in the works.

A longer version:

Systemd replaced the init script style of boot and process management, which had been in place for decades. init scripts were so simple they could be understood just by looking at the name: the computer is Initialized by Scripts. Systemd was much more complex and allowed many more tools to interact with the different parts of the computer, but people had to learn these tools. Previously all a person had to understand to deal with the computer was how to edit a text file and what various commands and programs did. After systemd a person has to understand how to use the dozens of invocations of systemctl and it’s variants and if they are dealing with a problem, —you know, the only reason a person would ever be dealing with initializing services— they gotta know what’s going on with the text files that systemd uses to run different commands and programs.

So a person who already understood what was going on might rightly say “hey, this systemd thing is just the same shit with different file locations and more to learn”.

People complain about the creator and maintainer of systemd, lennart poettering . Poettering is also the person behind pulseaudio, an powerful but complex audio management daemon in Linux whose name you only recognize because it’s caused you no end of trouble. Pulseaudio was also replaced relatively quickly by pipewire.

The argument could be made (and probably has) that poetterings work is indicative of the problems with foss developers working as employees of major companies with their job responsibilities inclusive of their foss projects. The developer in that situation has an incentive to make big sweeping changes, they’re being paid for it after all, instead of being more careful and measured.

When every big foss maintainer is trying to find a way to justify being paid for it, their projects are never done.

At least poettering is working for Microsoft, ruining windows now…

E: oh my god I forgot about the binary log files! So before (and now), the universal format for log files was plain text. You know, because it’s a log that’s text. Systemd uses binary log files that need a special tool to open and parse. So if you want to look through them on a computer without that tool you’re kinda screwed. Now systemd isn’t the only software package with binary log files, but many people have made the very persuasive argument that it’s not a trait to copy.

E2: actually spelled the man’s name right. Thanks @floofloof@lemmy.ca !

Ladies and gentlemen, the CIA!

give it up for our brave intelligence assets risking their time to implement all of the ideas presented in the Simple Field Sabotage Manual!

They'll be here all week, so make sure to come on back for the floor show tonight, i hear they have a real ripper planned ba-dum-tiss!

Seriously folks, enjoy your meals, tip your servers and stick around for the rest of the night.

Take it away boys!

What’s the problem here?

All the stuff is listed as rule 1 and rule 2 and they seem to fit the description even without the helpful context.

There’s one ban evasion in there too.

Sounds like the Marxist mod is doing a good job.

That’s kinda the problem, don’t you think? Your material interests have been set in opposition to people who want affordable housing in the area.
