    No he doesn't; he just realizes that it personally inconveniences him because it gets his (only) moral tether killed, and decides to walk back that support to restore his own benefit, at the cost and harm of everyone else.

    And it would be even less if there had to be only one thing per thing.

    One of the strengths of the FOSS metacommunity is the variety in designs and results. Big Corpo abuses economies of scale and locks you in with a "one shoe fits all solution" because they under the table also chisel and file your feet; FOSS has (largely) no such restrictions so they can afford to try things and see what results and, more importantly, what evolves. Not everything has to be a copy of corporate, and we shouldn't act as if it had to be.

  • The Military Entertainment Complex:
  • Ironically and not, that's exactly what Iron Man brought Nu-Spiderman to do in the CW movie. Government is crying about control, so a war profiteer recruits, illegally extricates from the country, arms and indoctrinates a kid to collaborate in a paramilitary action to oppress the following groups represented: war veterans, the elderly, women, foreigners, scientists, disabled, performance athletes, amputees and people seeking asylum.

    Geez. Considering the previous movie was about a nazi takeover of the US, seems like someone shoud have seen things coming!

  • My Thoughts on the Fosstodon Drama | Kev Quirk
  • I understand the concern to be honest. The problem here is that when someone is a bigot and they are at least reasonable enough to walk themselves out, the response of the community is to stain everyone else by association.

    Trust is not associative, and tbh distrust probably should also not be.

  • Faster boot tips for linux?
  • Considering that from my own experience systemd tends to increment boot times by a factor of about 20x due to insisting about things like raising a wifi interface that won't ever connect because you're later on supposed to plug in the wifi password (no save to store), which is an outright historic systemd problem, I wonder: is systemd-anamyze blame at least honest enough to recognize the fault is in its own design, or will it always blame it on something else in the system?

  • Atomic Linux Distros: What Barriers Stand Between You and Making the Switch?
  • For me it'd be two aspects:

    1. lack of knowledge and clarity whether my use case is affected and to what degree.
    2. worry over the extra operational overhead.

    For (1), it's not necessarily about the explicit workflow, like the GUI apps and stuff; but also the implicit workflow as well: the stuff going on with the machine because you are not touching it (even if it is because you've touched it before).

    Some examples. I need to forbid PA and have either ALSA or Pipewire (or both) with alsa-ucf disabled because of a hardware bug in my machine's audio chipset. I can one-time accommodate the required kernel boot time options and ALSA configs without issue on Debian, can I do that on an immutable? Am I forced to the barely-progressing-past-failure that is wayland, or can I use the Xorg setup that has for decades proven to me to work? Do I get to escape the enforced GTK compose key mapping on my own, or do I need to break immutableness to fix it? Can the programs that I launch through wine on the user account I set up for work, interact with the apps I have on my normal user's desktop (incl. copy-paste, desktop screenshots, sending global key events for stuff like Teamviewer, Supremo, Anydesk), or do I need to fall back to a Virtualbox VM?

    And for (2), it's quite simple. I have a 8 GB RAM machine. I'm barely managing to survive this world of nu-web development where hello world apps download 150 MB of a typokit SDK from Cloudflare or something. If an immutable environment means that everything even the Linux equivalent of W95's notepad.exe is now containerized, that's an extra memory and resource overhead that my system likely can not serve and that I don't really have an use for anyway (why would I want a text editor to not load up a text file I told it to load???).

    datatracker.ietf.org RFC 9557: Date and Time on the Internet: Timestamps with Additional Information

    This document defines an extension to the timestamp format defined in RFC 3339 for representing additional information, including a time zone. It updates RFC 3339 in the specific interpretation of the local offset Z, which is no longer understood to "imply that UTC is the preferred reference point f...

    RFC 9557: Date and Time on the Internet: Timestamps with Additional Information

    RFC 3339, the "alternative" to ISO 8061, was extended to RFC 9957, which also allows adding interpretative tags.

    Sounds like unnecessary complexification to me. What is wrong if anything with "2024-04-26"?

    Nadie: La educación en Chile en una línea de tiempo alterna:

    Hablando en serio.

    Todo el mundo habla de lo mal que está la educación, que los profesores, que los estudiantes y blah blah, y no estoy en desacuerdo que hay cosas ahí que están mal. Me podría mandar un ensayo en cómo no puede ser que una manga de pendejos de 12 vengan a amenazar a un profe en la sala. O que las salas en cuestión no deberían tener más de 20 alumnos.

    Pero igual hay temas de método y de material de fondo, como este.

    ¿Por qué no es más común en Chile enseñar las cosas de una manera más atractiva? O al menos, más inmersiva que "copie el texto aprobado 131 veces". O, no sé, cuando yo estaba en la media la manera que nos enseñaban castellano era penca (ni qué decir del inglés) pero pucha que aprendimos harto el un (1) (uno) semestre que nos hicieron escribir y ejecutar una obra de teatro.

    How do you get themes? Are [desktop]-look.org sites trustworthy?

    Hey everyone I was wondering how do you spice up your cursors, icons, themes, etc., In particular for desktop environments such as XFCE, Mate. Are there any good repositories to use?

    I've taken a look at a number of apparently cloned sites like "xfce-look.org", "kde-look.org", "gnome-look.org", but while they seem to show a wide offering of themes, it seems downloading from them is blocked via uBO since it reports a "fp2" fingerprinting script without which apparently downloads are not enabled. Are those sites trustworthy? They seem to be associated to a "OpenDesktop" initiative of which the only reputation I can find is that they were added to EasyList Privacy blocklist.

    If there are other alternative hubs or repos from which to theme a distro (as agnostically as posisble) that'd be welcome info.

    Cheers. Thanks. Et cetera.

    Standards shouldn't be behind a paywall

    publicado de forma cruzada desde: https://lemmy.world/post/9470764

    > - ISO 8601 is paywalled > - RFC allows a space instead of a T (e.g. 2020-12-09 16:09:...) which is nicer to read.

    Anything of interest happen in 9-11?

    I've seen the Wikipedia article on year 9 doesn't mention anything of relevance happening during November. Closest thing seems to be September. Since people around have spent a few years making lots of ruckus about how the date with "9, 11" has some sort of importance as a date, I was wondering if I'm missing something here.

    What is the need of T in the new (2019) time format?

    Basically title. 2019 edition of the Standard denotes the "T" prefix to time as mandatory (except in "unambiguous contexts"):

    01:29:59 is now actually T01:29:59, with the former form now designated as an alternative

    But date does not have a "D" prefix, not even in "ambiguous contexts".

    1973-09-11 never needs to be something like eg.: D1973-09-11

    Anyone know the reasoning behind this change and what is the intended use? The only time-only format with separators that I can think would be undecidable in ambiguous contexts would be hh:mm which I guess could be mistaken for bible verses?

    jacobin.com The Chilean Coup Set Environmental Policy Back Decades

    Before Chile’s coup, Salvador Allende’s government was engaged in plans to reform the environmentally destructive copper industry. Augusto Pinochet’s military dictatorship put a stop to them, crushing organized labor in the process.

    Hoy que se unen las coyunturas de los 50 años del golpe y la dictadura, el cambio climático, y los socavones de los edificios en Valpo, este artículo se ve particularmente relevante.

    Si no hubiera sido por el golpe, quién sabe, Long Chile AU o tal vez podríamos haber sido una potencia mundial de la sustentabilidad climática.
