I didn’t know we need to regulate Elon Musk’s platforms. Now I do!

Seems like a somewhat healthier race than corgi. Average age 15 years versus Corgi’s 12 years 3 months.

I tried Pop!_OS alpha1 with Cosmic Desktop and I even if the general software quality is still what you might expect from the first alpha release, I was impressed on the high-level design decisions they made with Cosmic. As a sway user who would like a bit more structure and hand-holding in my desktop, I think I’m gonna like Cosmic in a year’s time.

France can probably already give them all the channel logs decrypted, like Russia has been able to since June 19, 2020. It took them too long to get there, but at least they finally did.

I wonder how many bytes were spent sending these three words to my screen.

Does one side disregarding the Geneva convention mean the other is free to do so?

I mean yeah if both conventions revolve around the same thing, like for instance if the same hospital is both a sanctuary for civilians but also being used by soldiers. A more general whataboutism is another thing.

Which side are you referring to there? Both of them?

Some kind of a supporter here, I guess. Or let’s say that I’m so much anti-Hamas that it’s logical to be a bit anti-Palestine and pro-Israel.

Legality of Israeli settlements

Some of those settlements are not legal and israelis should leave those areas.

Article 51 of the Geneva convention prohibits indiscriminate attacks on civilian population yet Israel attacked hospitals with children inside.

It’s questionable if this applies when the other side violates other Geneva conventions by using the hospitals for military activity.

I don’t think it does? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_reform_in_Esperanto

I don’t know. Rust seems like a better C++ to me rather than a better C. Plain C is a very simple language.

Yeah, the Rust guys’ proposition is roughly this:

Hey you guys with 20-30 years of experience doing a single thing very well. Let’s nullify most of that skillset and replace it with a thing we’re good at.

Don’t worry, we will teach you.

They’re not technically wrong about Rust being a better choice for a kernel, of course. They’re just incredibly misinformed about the social hurdles they need to climb over for it to happen.

The UI.

Well, looks like I wasn’t banned before.

Oh well!

I sometimes wish getting a ban would mean that I wasn’t allowed to read that shit either. That would help so much.

Bluesky is experiencing a hockeystick scenario currently, apparently. Probably entirely coincidental.

Are there news sources that are moderate or conservative enough that this piece of news could be pushed into conservative subs? I’m perhaps banned from them all already but doesn’t cost to try.

I was surprised that I pretty quickly started to like the UX simplicity of Tesla. I thought I would’ve hated it, but they did a really good job there.

Do you feel awkward being called a better person? I’m not doing it sarcastically or as a trap.

I agree that there’s never a good reason to hit a child. I mean unless you’re training martial arts with them or something, but that’s obviously not what this is about.

Surely a person with better self-control (like yourself, apparently) is a better person? Or a person who doesn’t turn to violence when they get too angry to control themselves. Especially as a parent, who is constantly pushed towards angry, at least at some points of parenthood. That’s what I was wondering about: were you a parent with superior self-control or were you a parent with the sort of a child that you didn’t really need superior self-control?

I had my first child decades ago, and until then I had the self-image of being a calm person with a pretty high level of self-control. That image sure vanished quickly, and I was poorly prepared for the dissonance.
