Most of the weird complaints about Dems, by the nutters, are just…weird. There is always something legitimate to bitch about, but they just manufacture some bullshit and then focus on that.

That was hard to watch. Jesus christ. This damn country is so fucked up.

Well…thanks. I guess. Now I know. Two little tidbits that I will try to forget.

It’s looking like I’ll have to plan the start of my pissing on graves tour soon.

I could be wrong, and I’m sure I’ll be pilloried if so, but I don’t think the ‘stolen land’ part is really the point of the statement. To me it’s more about pointing out the difference between ‘undocumented’ and ‘illegal’. In the same vein as ‘unhoused’ vs ‘homeless’. Or the classic ‘tomato’ vs ‘tomato’. To me it seems to get lost in pedantic weeds and I prefer the Shakespeare observation of a rose by any other name.

I figure it’s like I used to feel that my engine ran smother after getting an oil change. The brain is weird and can’t be trusted.

I missed both those references.

I remember the BeOS guys doing a demo at my LUG before they release the BeBox (or whatever their computer was called). That OS was so ahead of it’s time. There were about 200 of us just gasping at how good it was and what it could do. Actually using BeOS on a PowerPC ended up being an on ramp for me to Linux. By the time Haiku came out, life was too busy and I was too entrenched in Linux. Maybe now that I’m retired I’ll take a look at it.

That seems to be about all it takes for voters to forgive their representatives for their sins.

I just find it interesting how values about seem to correlate (with my limited data points) strongly with age. From my son and his friends, who are around your age, to my parents and their friends who are generally 85+. That’s the only reason I asked, not for some “ah, gotcha <kid, grandpa, whatever>”, just interested.

OK, now start the prosecution. I don’t understand how a murder, covered in detailed video from every angle, from the build-up to the trigger pulling, needs much of an investigation. Everyone saw what those murderers did.

I was one of the many Reddit API refugees. Thank you so much for your work on hosting. If I ever have spare cash, I’ll be sure to drop some in your patreon, whether or not you need it!

Thanks.

Nope, thanks for projecting though. I just didn’t mention the multi-threaded because, again, it doesn’t speed up anything. Transfer speed has always been the bottleneck, unless you’re talking about heavy data-center type use. Like I said, if it’s interesting to you, go for it. I don’t see a need to reinvent the wheel on core utilities.

I thought the entire issue was with catfriend1 handing over the repo and everyone in the dark as to whom, or why, or anything.

I was thinking of the Mitch Hedberg overused paraphrase about “used to, still do, but used to as well”

I’ve had cp aliased to rsync with my flags for years. It seems like a lot of newcomers try to “fix” stuff before they really understand what’s available. Or they just like to play around with different programming languages. Which is fine, but usually it’s not really interesting to me.

How old are you? I’m just curious.

I see the shit that people send out, obvious LLM crap, and wonder how poor they must write to consider the LLM output worth something. And then wonder if the people consuming this LLM crap are OK with baseline mediocrity at best. And that’s not even getting into the ethical issues of using it.

You, and I, typing this, in a thread about non-standardization certainly blows a hole or two in your simple thinking. It’s weird to think of flexible thinking as simple. I would say I envy your rigid comprehension, but I don’t. It would be awful to be lost when someone says N Celsius instead of N Fahrenheit or vise versa. What a miserable, difficult way to try to make it through life.
