I honestly can’t tell the difference between real news and satire sometimes.

I have a book recommendation for you. Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson

That is SO very much not a solution.

You’re describing an alternate reality where heavily armed people are able to recognize corruption and rally against it. The most hate-filled, firearm fanatics I know of have Trump 2024 signs in their yard. And they’re waiting with bated breath for an excuse to murder any person who says they should have the right to health Care.

The people with the most guns are the ones with the least brains.

I’d love to see a source for that assertion.

Not really about an endorsement of the two-party system. When you go to the gas pump and see a picture of biden’s face with an I did that sticker, it’s a pretty safe bet that the person who put that up is a Republican.

Likewise, when you see someone criticizing the Biden administration for things that county jails are doing, safe bet it’s a Republican.

But apparently your definition of enlightened centerists includes people who know what the executive branch actually controls.

Biden doesn’t have a gas price dial on his desk, and doesn’t set visitation policies for county jails.

The article mentions a lot of county jails, but are federal prisons doing this? I’m pretty sure the executive branch isn’t in charge of county jails.

I think the supreme Court could probably decide that this is cruel and unusual punishment. Or that Congress could pass a federal law setting regulations for local jails.

I’m not a jail expert, but this sounds like something Biden has no control over.

I live 15 minutes outside a small town, 1 hour away from the city.

Love it.

That’s more about you than about organ donation. Your experience is not anywhere near normal.

It doesn’t require that much computing power, that’s just a variable that gets set.

If the difficulty were set lower, one average computer could easily handle it.

Yeah, but if you had bought starfield at full retail price there’s a pretty good chance you’d have regrets about it.

I absolutely don’t mind spending a couple bucks a month to try a bunch of games. If there’s something I like and want to play a lot, I’ll eventually buy it.

I like game pass as an option for playing games that I don’t want to spend $60 on. But I also want the option to own it forever.

In that case, the high stakes world of kernel management is probably not for you.

You know that you can make people very upset if you do it wrong. That’s something.

It’s like a metaphor for Linux itself

Are you allowed to make changes to the kernel? Sure, go ahead.

But FAFO applies. If you come at the king, you’d best not miss.

In a parallel universe, there’s a version of Linus who runs a restaurant that makes noma look like a taco bell.

Yes, its a DNS server. You can set up your device to use whatever DNS server you choose, including pihole.

I’ve got my VPN connected with pihole as the default DNS server so it works on my phone when I’m not at home.

Trump is a Russian asset.

So weird that Trump and Putin have the exact same opinions. Do you think Trump is controlling Putin?
