This is in a city of 175,000 people. And in a “liberal”, West Coast, US city. You really can’t get away from this stuff in North America.

Ah yes, put your problem out in the internet, then get befuddled when people suggest solutions. Classic.

What does “cli” have to do with anything? Also, this is terrible for many other reasons.

Oh yeah, Vancouver really gives northern Siberia a run for its money during the winter. Human beings just aren’t built to survive one or two days of snow every couple years. Best you stay far away and live somewhere pleasant, like rural Texas.

Because we need more than one browser engine in the world, or Google will own the internet.

Then nearly every industry is state affiliated.

Clicked through the first link and saw like half a dozen stickers with the only joke conservatives have ever been able to think of; "x identifies as y". Imagine thinking that's such a pinnacle of comedy that you reuse it for everything you can think of for years and years, never tiring of it.

He was pretty clear through that whole video that he didn’t know what he was doing. That video was purely for entertainment, and it was obvious from the first minute.

I thought you had to refer to a person by their old name for that to be the case, not just mention the existence of a former name. I could be wrong though.

There’s a paper from like 30 years ago about how you can never verify an executable because you don’t know that your compiler isn’t doing something nefarious. And if you do know that somehow, you don’t know it about it’s compiler, and so on. Scary a stuff.

We’re “free speech” except these first 4 categories we could name off the top of our heads. There will never be any reason to add to this list. Adding to that list wouldn’t be “free speech”!

“We needed to create a stir to get some change, to get them [city council] to fund us back up. And I mean, that’s the honest truth. I know, that could make things more dangerous. I don’t know. But at the same time, we needed some change.”

The Windows driver. If you’re using Windows, you’ve already declared that you’re okay with this kind of thing. This whole thread is people pissed about dress code violations at an orgy.

I had no idea we even had these things. So quiet and smooth! You don’t realize how damn loud a normal bus is until you’re wooshed around on an electric one. TriMet doesn’t even say it’s electric anywhere. Just that it’s “zero emissions”.

Kernels have gotten better. Professional tools have gotten better. Everything on Linux has gotten better. Compilers and drivers too.

Everything else is built by the lowest bidder and is absolute garbage. And unfortunately, it’s what most people interact with all day long.
