That sounds really evil, esp. if you already have low expectations and it’s not like I’m going to defend ol’Bill, but…

Do we know what he used the patents for?

Acquiring patent sounds like you want to use it as a gold mine by manufacturing the product for “best” price, which is pretty heinous, especially when it’s in conflict with saving lives. But in principle it could be the opposite. One could, entirely for altruistic reasons acquire a patent from someone with the intent to make the cure more affordable.

I mean, I don’t like Bill but let’s be honest, he’s no RFK Jr.

Damn the clickbaitines of those video titles could make an old cowboy cry.

…but “don’t judge the book by the cover”, they say…

Use as $meta in my .i3/config, so … lots of things.

…but … but according to background, the bug photo comes from a different log than you were looking at.

please make sure to report the bug to the correct team.

closed/wontfix! 🤡

I think they don’t need logrotate, they need the exact opposite: logdontrotate

OT, but I feel like I keep seeing more of these “foo 1.2.3 released” announcements here on this channel.

Is it on topic, though? Shouldn’t the channel be more about Linux specific topics, rather than place for people to discuss updates of arbitrary selection of apps which just share the fact that they also run on Linux?

Edit: Technically the “I feel like” part was true but looking at the topic post … factually I’m totally wrong; it’s like 1 in 20 at most.

Man I’m 45 and I don’t blame the youth for any problems now. But maybe I’m just charging my blame lasers so that I can go even harder when I’m 65. Like, “when I was younger I never blamed the youths for problems but NOW, with YOU it’s justified!”.

On second thought, the fact that the sticker is in the front – and specifically that someone like me is going to pause at that – could be pretty much an intended “bonus” joke.

Why own the libs when you can do even better and own yourself?

OT, but do people really have bumper stickers in FRONT? I mean, who would be able to read it and honk in time? (Disclaimer: I’m from EU, don’t drive and don’t know much about US driver culture).

Cats and dogs have more in common than you think.

For example, did you know that both cats and dogs have four legs? Yeah… There’s even more similarities, I hear…

Not acting “for free” does not mean zero-sum game.

I am no expert but I don’t think nations need to (or do, in general) operate on a zero-sum game. Actions can benefit both sides.

I call it a (wo…)manmade organised dogmatic religion. Sure, it might be just with a member of one (which is kinda cool and all and probably makes the organizing part a little bit easier) but it’s still kind of the same thing…

But seriously, it really depends on the details on such belief. It might be anything from harmless cope to superstition to delusion to paranoia. Or a first brave step in escaping a cult–which I would genuinely applaud.

It loosely reminds everyone of everything because “other planes of existence” is an all-encompassing meaningless term.

Just about every religion or fiction fits this, because they can–and do-- say “oh but it’s in oThEr pLaNeS oF eXiStEnCe!”. Which is a silly excuse because just about only concrete property that “other plane of existence” implies is that things on beings on it can’t affect things or beings on this plane of existence, so any theory (as in “has to make useful, verifiable predictions”) involving interactions between planes of existence is kind of dead on arrival.

No, He actually did return and it was in the news, don’t you remember? Oh, it’s that vicious news cycle again.

Someone has to teach those little gangstas how extortion is done.

Well at least you tried…

I see, So that’s what the jack-o-lanterns are for?

So they are actually not lanterns but temporary toilets, but then someone got an idea to put candles in them so that it at least makes the “trick” part kind of uncomfortable. Right?

Well the images are already dumb AI slop. I don’t know who the article is for but the images scream “don’t think about me!”. For me it’s hard to take it seriously at that point.

OT, but the comment under the video is pure gold:

“Sharks have a similar metaphor, ‘swam under the Fonzie’.”

I usually dry inside and I make sure to turn stuff inside out before hanging it on the rack but I do it because I believe it dries better when things like pockets can be stretched out.

UV is a great point, I never realized that.
