Back in 1973, Rene Vienet, a member of the Situationist International, detourned an entire kung fu film, making “Can Dialectics Break Bricks?” Worth a watch if you have the time.
He’s more or less said that exact thing.
If this is a trend, the supply of emotionally stunted young adults who immediately latch on to significantly older people for romantic purposes is secure for at least another few years. /s

I feel this a lot. Between people moving away and turning inward, I have maybe one or two really good friends.
Here’s hoping he and Cornyn make such a hash of the primary that Colin Allred can win in the general.
I remember reading about a hotel in Japan that has been open for over a millennium, and IIRC it’s owned by the same family who has owned it for most of that time, and that’s their only business. We need more of that: steady-state businesses that operate but don’t pursue permanent growth.
I hope someone drives over that judge’s lawn every day for the rest of their life. Just leaving it a muddy tracked mess.
What are the stretch goals? I mean, we have a whole slew of shitbags the world would be better off without.
Because we’ve built a country around the idea that people will have cars, regular citizens will argue that completely removing someone’s license is unjust, but some people just shouldn’t drive cars. Arguably most people shouldn’t on any regular basis.
Bullshit like this should be handled with large fines for the offender (Nestle) and corporal punishment for their c-suite. <neoliberal-justification>This will create jobs by creating a whole new branch of law, “moronic IP claims law.”</neoliberal-justification>
It’s not about waiting, it’s about enticing people to use Amazon fresh rather than the other grocery options they typically use.
My guess is that Amazon fresh makes its prices even more absurdly low to get more people buying.
Goddamn it, now I feel like I have to see it even if it’s not a good movie.
That’s literally how “AI agents” are being marketed. “Tell it to do a thing and it will do it for you.”
What are you checking against? Part of my job is looking for events in cities that are upcoming and may impact traffic, and ChatGPT has frequently missed events that were obviously going to have an impact.
Claude why did you make me an appointment with a gynecologist? I need an appointment with my neurologist, I’m a man and I have Parkinson’s.
The file name looks like a link, it’s at least a slightly different color than the other text.
I’m a noob with sourdough and I have been having a hard time getting information on how to maintain a consistent amount of starter. Is it generally appropriate to discard half and replace that half with fresh flour and water?
Related, is “discard” in any meaningful way different from the starter itself, or are the recipes for discard scones/crackers/whatever just labeled that because you aren’t using the starter for rise?
I started reading this book by Gabor Maté, a doctor who has ADHD. In just the first chapter, I felt seen in a way that I have never experienced with any therapist or psychiatrist I have consulted in almost 47 years.
The survey also found that 88 per cent of the capital’s residents believe that cycle lanes should be compulsory when one is available

I installed Jellyfin on an iMac running Fedora 39/Gnome and it was running more or less without any issues. However, I wanted to have the iMac on a VPN which would prevent accessing content indexed by Jellyfin elsewhere. So I installed Ubuntu on an old Mac Mini that I had, planning to make it a NAS box as well as host Jellyfin. The install there did not go well at all, I got the error "The server is expected to host the web client, but the provided content directory is either invalid or empty."
I found a post on github where a user created the directory listed in the error and then copied from /usr/share/jellyfin/web/ and when I did that the startup went further but then it threw the error "Kestrel failed to start! This is most likely due to an invalid address or port bind - correct your bind configuration in network.xml and try again."
I could not find a clear answer as to where the "network.xml" file is located, and I couldn't find any files that seemed to have the contents that were expected in network.xml. I put that aside for another day, considering a different distro if there are any others that are better with jellyfin than Ubuntu.
Today I was going to watch something that had been working on the Fedora box, and it would not play. I checked systemctl and jellyfin was not running. I tried launching it from the terminal and I got the same "server is expected to host the web client" error I had before.
Has anyone else run into these issues? Is there any better documentation out there than what is on the jellyfin site? Any help is much appreciated.
I installed Fedora 39 on an old iMac I had with a fusion drive (128GB SSD +1TB spinning disk.)
Fedora is installed on the SSD, and I want to use the spinning disk as a media drive. Problem is, it does not mount by default, so I figure I need to edit /etc/fstab to have it mount at startup.
I’m at work so I SSH into the iMac and get the UUID for the disk and then open fstab in vi, enter the new line with the uuid, directory I want the drive mounted in (/media), the filesystem (ext4) and the options. Try to write and quit, get an error the file is readonly. Try to set the file to noreadonly, write fails again. Try :wq! and get the error the file cannot be opened to write.
Exit vi, ls -la and see the file is read-only.
sudo chmod 644 fstab, put in password. ls -la shows file is still read only. lsattr fstab, immutable flag is not set.
Is this happening because I’m on SSH, or is there some other issue?
I recently picked up the python mastery bundle from humble bundle and one of the books (about larger-scale projects) has its exercises built around using anaconda virtual environments. I am able to create a project using:
% conda create -n project0 —channel=conda-forge python=3.12
But when I try to activate project0 I get an error that “activate” is an invalid choice. When I tried to initialize conda for Bash, my terminal behaved like the default echo for typed characters turned off.
I have an old iMac that I am planning to install some flavor of Linux on and while I was looking at various distros it occurred to me that it might be a good exercise to install Gentoo on it. Other than a separate machine for documentation and downloading the necessary packages, what else should I have set up to try this? Has anyone installed Gentoo on a Mac before? If so, what concerns are there related to things like Apple’s implementation of EFI?
I have a Lenovo Carbon X1 that is a few years old (7th gen), and I am running Fedora 38.5 with GNOME 44.5. The issue is that the system does not sleep properly. If I close the lid, nothing suspends properly, so if it is not on a charger or shut down it will die within several hours in my bag. Are there any distros that handle power management and suspend status on this hardware better than Fedora?
In Hoboken, Mayor Ravi Bhalla has worked to redesign city intersections, install bike lanes and slow traffic. The result? Six-plus years of no pedestrian fatalities.
Hoboken has slowed traffic and increased bike lanes and pedestrian areas, leading to a six year period with zero pedestrian deaths.
I am buying a friend’s PC for games. I want to avoid windows if at all possible, and I’m wondering what people’s experience using Proton in Linux for gaming has been. Are there certain publishers who use libraries Proton doesn’t handle well? Are there distros to avoid using with proton? Any other notes I should be aware of?
“The first act of violence that patriarchy demands of males is not violence toward women. Instead patriarchy demands of all males that they engage in acts of psychic self-mutilation, that they kill off the emotional parts of themselves. If an individual is not successful in emotionally crippling himself, he can count on patriarchal men to enact rituals of power that will assault his self-esteem.”
That bell hooks quote was the one that made me realize that feminism wasn’t just about bringing women into equality with men, but about protecting everyone from the violence of patriarchy.
